Great house but no access to the lake or community amenities.
The house is as advertised, and we really enjoyed it. We were disappointed that there was no access to the lake, beach or any community resources. We knew it was private but assumed as part of the rental, we would have guest access. We did not notice the last statement in the description that mentioned this. Google did not help by adding local resources distances that made it seem like they were available. Ultimately our fault for not seeing the last sentence. We just don't want others to have the same surprise.
Gorgeous property, porch looks right out over the water, and its just across the street! Better yet, my son lives less than a mile away, and we fot to do fireworks, on the lake, swim, and visit, all together! We even cooked breakfast and dinner, awesome kitchen for gathering!!Thank you Brenda for everything!
Brendaâs home was a wonderful experience all around. We were pleasantly surprised with the size of the house and the ample amount of room for our group. The home was very very clean and had everything we could have needed during our stay. The area is beautiful, we canât wait to stay here again in the coming years!
This house was quite nice except the furniture is not user friendly if you have mobility issues. Example, My 33 yr son couldnt even get up off the sofa. Its nice furniture but for older people with back and leg issues we couldnt sit on it, so we sat at kitchen table all weekend. Other huge issue was the fact that most of the area is gated and we only found 2 common areas for fishing on the entire lake. If you dont have a passcard you cant even get to the beach. That was not explained to us til we were there. So unless you have family that live there and will put their lives on hold while you're there, this area is not for you.
This is a beautiful home with lovely views of the lake. We booked the house so we could attend our daughterâs graduation from Kenyon and found it was just what we needed to regroup between events. It is only about 10 minutes from campus and has a fully equipped open concept kitchen so we were able to have some of our meals away from the overbooked restaurants and dining hall meals. The house is well represented on the website. The photos are accurate but it is even nicer in person. So glad we booked early.
This property is very clean and comfortable! Has everything you could ask for in a rental- outdoor living space on the deck with views of the lake, as well as kitchen and laundry needs. Weâll definitely rent this property again!
It was VERY clean, well stocked, and just a BEAUTIFUL place. Brenda was flexible with our needs which we really appreciated. Even though we ended up not taking our dog, it was a perfect place to have one. Even the deck was gated. Family friendly house in a nice neighborhood. Thanks Brenda!!!
We loved our stay!!! Home was stocked with everything we needed and is comfortable and spacious ! Hosts were in contact to ensure we had everything we needed!
We had a fantastic 2 night stay at this amazing property just 10 minutes from Kenyon College. The house was gorgeous, near a lake, and had plenty of space for my family (dog included). Highly recommended for those needing space when visiting the Gambier area.
Our family enjoyed a beautiful stay at Brenda's Artistic Retreat! This was by far the cleanest property we have ever experienced. The kitchen was a dream and wonderful for making a homecooked meal for our Kenyon student, The beds were truly comfortable, the spacious shower was fantastic, and we all wanted to bring the couches home with us. :) There was a gorgeous view of the lake from the deck-the perfect place for morning coffee. Thank you for a relaxing and worry-free weekend!
We loved our stay at Apple Valley. The house was in a great location, and we could see the lake from the front porch. The unit was clean and had lots of space for our family to sleep and spread out.
I would say that this listing is 100% accurate, but it's actually understated. I've stayed in many vacation properties and am usually quite satisfied. However, this stay was exceptional. Beautifully appointed, meticulously kept, full of relaxing, energy and kindly managed. It will not disappoint
The Hostess was amazing, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. This home was spotless in every way. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could want. This beautiful home was so comfortable, everything was provided you could want. It was so calming and pleasing to oneâs eye. We had the perfect view of Apple Valley Lake on an upper level deck. We will stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this VRBO property. Brenda was fantastic to work with. Only issue was that there were no washcloths provided. Thankfully we brought a few with us just in case as we weren't sure they would be available. This home was completely renovated recently and immaculately clean. You will not be disappointed!
