It was very nice and close to the state park, very walkable.The host in the description does state that the house is situated around other run down houses, which is the case but it did not bother us. I wouldn’t let that sway your decision."

House at Buckeye Lake with Boat Docks available.

10/10 Excellent
"We ran into an unusual circumstance where the house had not been cleaned in advance of our stay. There was trash in the kitchen trashcan and the floors were not swept. The manager let us know they had a miscommunication with the home owner over projects and people in the house. The host was effective and prompt with communication, and did offer to come clean the house herself which we declined as we had already swept and settled in. TThe address is hard to read out front - it's worn off from sun exposure to the numbers. The listing makes it look like you might have a bit of a yard to use out back, but there is just a gravel driveway with a small shed and table by the entrance. There is a small fenced in area out front, near the road. Overall it was a nice stay, the location is convenient and walkable to a variety of restaurants."
