Great location and incredible house!

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.

Beautiful Stay for Kenyon Family Weekend

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 one’s eye. We had the perfect view of Apple Valley Lake on an upper level deck.

Great property and owner was fantastic!

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!

Amazing Host, Beautiful Property

Brenda was the best host we have ever had. She was great at communicating with us, and just one of the sweetest people we have ever met. I would rent from her anytime! We’ve stayed at other places in Apple Valley and they don’t even compare to this one. The view was beautiful, and the inside of the property is stunning. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and had plenty of space for all of us. The home was stocked with everything we needed and it was so clean! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you, Brenda!!!

Great location near lake and front entrance of Apple Valley

Great location near lake and front entrance of Apple Valley- owner had great communication and even purchased us a new charcoal grill for use while there. Price vs amenities and spaces of house are great. Downstairs living area would be great for kids separate from upstairs or two families sharing the house. Highly recommend!!

Charming community for a getaway

We had a lovely and reinvigorating visit. The house was clean and pleasant and good for a larger group of mostly adults as it had many bedrooms. The kitchen was large and good for preparing large meals in. The neighborhood was nice for walks. Some of us went to nearby golf course, which was also good. A great place for a group getaway.

Girls weekend getaway

Thanks Brenda for a beautiful spot to spend some relaxing time with friends. What a wonderful location. We spent most of our time in the spacious open kitchen/dining area and on the porch over looking the lake. The space was perfect for the 8 of us. Thanks for providing everything we needed to just relax and enjoy each other's company. We hope to make a return trip soon.

Great reunion of friends

This property looked brand new and was beautifully maintained. We stayed there instead of in the dorms for our 45th college reunion. The house was perfect for us. Great indoor and outdoor space for chatting. We'd book again in a heartbeat if Brenda is still VRBO'ing her home, when we come back in 5 years for the big 5-0.
