10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
The house was perfect for our needs with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and 1-story. The outdoor space was lovely with a porch swing and other relaxing spaces with lake views. We did our own cooking and the kitchen was well equipped. We went to Canton Trade Days, which was about 30 minutes drive. And other activities on subsequent days that were within 15 minutes each. So overall a convenient location.

Very nice property. Great location right on the lake. Communication was great.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
The listing is very accurate. If you want a nice place to stay, somewhat off beaten path and like the ease of keeping a boat right on the water this is a great choice. Plenty of room to spread out, comfortable dining room areas as well.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2023
The house has great potential: large, good location, on the water, nice layout, big backyard… but it feels unloved and neglected. We watched baseball in the evenings and appreciated the satellite tv. The linens were fine. The kitchen has lots of pots and pans but lacked sufficient dishes, cups, glasses, and cutlery for serving. For the price, it needs some investment from the owners. For example, the paint is peeling on the ceiling of the second bath and the shower faucet diverts half the water pressure to the tub faucet. It’s not at the typical standard we’re used to with vacation rentals.
