    The inside of the house was spacious and accommodating for our family.The bug zapper in the kitchen by the dining room table wasn’t too inviting. We also noticed ant traps meaning there is a problem with them too.The outside of the house needed work. We had to run the clean cycle 3 times before using the hot tub. The porch and deck needed cleaned and the home needs pressure washed. The window sills were dirty and many cobwebs. We also had to clean the grill before use.Positively, we liked the close proximity to Mohican, the beautiful wooded setting, and comfortable sleeping arrangements.

    Manager's Response:

    We’re delighted that you enjoyed the home’s spacious layout, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and beautiful wooded setting, all of which are close to Mohican. We followed up with the homeowner, who would like to share the following information:

    - The bug zapper and ant baits are placed as a precaution to help keep insects under control, as the home’s wooded setting can sometimes attract them.
    - We’ve informed the cleaning team to pay extra attention to the grill going forward.
    - The home is already scheduled for a power wash to freshen up the exterior.

    We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue delivering the 5-star stays we’re known for.

    Inside is nice and comfortable, but yard and playset is unusable.

  • Great place, perfect for families!

    5/5

    My husband and I rented this house over Thanksgiving. That way, we could be close to where our family lives in Gambier. We didn't have the time to take advantage of the home (ie. hot tub) but we was perfectly fine place to sleep after long days with family. It was a very nice home, perfectly clean, comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. They had an attached garage which is very nice too. We brought our dog and he liked it too. The neighborhood was cute, and great for walking my dog around the sidestreets, lots of deer out in the early morning. The street that the house is located on is a little busy and cars drive down it pretty fast. Also, the house backs up right into the woods, so there isn't much of a backyard, but they do have a kids playhouse and log teepee - which would be fun for little ones. Overall, we loved the place, but the stairs on the inside of the house were different heights and depths, so I would not recommend this home for senior citizens. But if you're younger or middle-aged, just be careful, and you'll be fine.
