New Lakefront Retreat w/ Pool

TiffanyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Cannot say enough amazing things about Susan’s beautiful home! The photos don’t do it justice. Location is perfect, peaceful, and loaded with amenities and special touches. Susan and Andrew were helpful and responsive, making a special trip out to clear up the pool cover so we could use it. It is clear they have put a lot of time, effort, investment, and most of all love into their incredible property! We look forward to staying again in the future! Thanks again for creating such a wonderful space and sharing this blessing with others!!❤️

Buckeye Lake Cottage

MichaelRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Super clean, and as described. Felt right at home, modern, functional and cozy. Had plenty of space for my family of 5 that included a 2 year old, and twin 4 month olds. WiFi was great to get work done especially in neat little office nook. We booked as a last minute holiday stay but would definitely return and look to stay here during the summer months to enjoy the lake and the local restaurants there.

Charming House W Boat Dock Avail

LovandaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We were at the house mainly to sleep and for breakfast. Beds were very comfortable! Shower in the master bath was small and a little tight. The shared bathroom has a larger shower. Kitchen was supplied with minimal equipment for cooking and would not be enough if you wanted to bake. The house is very spacious and easy to find. It worked well for what we needed!

The cozy cottage at Buckeye Lake was the perfect getaway for a girls' weekend. There was ample space to relax and have fun; the accommodations were comfortable and welcoming.

We hope to return again soon and would highly recommend the Cozy 4 Bedroom Cottage to all of our friends and family!

*Newly Upgraded* Hot Tub-Game Room-Dock-Fire Pits

MichaelRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend at this beautiful property near Buckeye Lake. The house was exactly as described: spacious, clean, and perfect for our group. The game room was a hit with our kids (as were smores over the fire pit), the hot tub was relaxing, and the location was convenient to most everything in the area. The peaceful setting by the canal was perfect for a quiet weekend away. The hosts were responsive and made check-in seamless. We appreciated them sharing the place with us.

Heated Pool / hot tub/ celebrations welcome

BrittanyRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We had a group of ladies from around the state, everyone said they would absolutely come back to the property again! We arrived and it was incredibly clean, smelled amazing and was setup for our bachelorette perfectly! Laura was responsive, helpful and went above and beyond. The pool and hot tub were perfect and so relaxing. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms extremely clean and everything you could ever need in the home.. bug spray, beach towels, pool floats, kitchen appliances (toaster, many coffee choices, etc). We hope to be back for another weekend at Laura’s rental!

Summer’s Breeze Lake House

MayraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The house was spotless and had everything you could need, including a fully stocked kitchen and some snacks. The bathroom had an unlimited supply of towels and toiletries, and even some razors and a cute toothbrush with toothpaste. If you’re planning to stay longer than four days, they’ve got cleaning supplies too. That really made a difference for me since I travel with my pack of seven. We had a blast in the hot tub and playing pool and board games and arcade machine and shuffle table board. My kids loved it and they had activities while we rest.

Hobbit Dome (Hot Tub, Wineries/Amish Country near)

AnjaliRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My husband and I came to stay here for a long weekend for some peace and quiet. We are huge LOTR fans, so the theming and little details here were such a treat. The weather was beautiful during our stay and we got to watch the gorgeous sunset everyday. We cooked meals in the fully stocked kitchen, made smores over a fire, relaxed in the hot tub, and explored the trails around the dome. There are so many little details in the place that made it so cozy and enjoyable, like the fire place and a LOTR-themed coloring book. Everything we happened to need during our stay was provided, from an apple peeler, to a cupboard of extra blankets, to a box of bandaids. The bed was very comfortable and the AC worked perfectly. The place was clean and pristine. We enjoyed exploring the historic Roscoe Village and Killing Tree Winery. The host provided plenty of information about the area and recommendations. Wish we could have spent even more time here, but we hope to be back!

Unique Kabin in the Woods

EmilyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The silo was incredibly cute, clean, and relaxing. It was more spacious on the inside than anticipated. There were two queen bedrooms on the first floor and a set of bunk beds on the second floor. The bathrooms were very clean, and the hosts even provided shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The kitchen was spotless and equipped to cook. The living room downstairs looked out through the double doors onto a serene wooded area, and the game room upstairs was spacious and comfortable. I would love to visit again!

Adorable Buckeye Lake Cottage

CherylRating, 5 stars7 months ago
The area has a very safe, small town feel. The lake is pretty and a lot of nice restaurants and coffee shops close by. Close to the interstate and towns that have wal-mart, Kroger, and a lot of other stores and restaurants. We rented a boat from a local company. That was very enjoyable and would do again. We rented this home for 6 weeks. The stay was enjoyable and I wouldn't hesitate to rent again.

Your guide to Buckeye Lake

All About Buckeye Lake

Just east of Columbus you’ll find the village of Buckeye Lake, where summer cottages surround the shore of the tranquil lake that shares its name. Family-owned businesses line the town’s quiet streets, and near the town’s center you may come across microbreweries and the Buckeye Lake Historical Society Museum, whose collection of memorabilia invites visitors to take a journey through the area’s past.

Buckeye Lake itself was constructed in 1826 to serve as a feeder canal for the famous Erie Canal. Among the countless islands that dot the narrow reservoir are the Cranberry Bog State Nature Preserve, a floating island created when the surrounding swamp was flooded in the 19th century. Buckeye is a popular place for boating and fishing for perch, catfish, and largemouth bass. Around the lake, you’ll also find a few smaller villages, a winery, and Buckeye Lake State Park, Ohio’s oldest state park.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Buckeye Lake

Summer is unsurprisingly the busiest time of year, especially on weekends due to the lake’s proximity to Columbus, so it is a good idea to secure your Buckeye Lake rental with that in mind. The weather is hot and sunny then, making it a great time to be out on the water. With fall, the leaves surrounding the lake begin to change, creating a kaleidoscope of colors, and although it is starting to get chilly, you may be able to still get out on the water until mid-October. During the Annual Buckeye Lake Singer-Songwriter’s Festival takes place in early October, many concerts are held on the lakeshores.

By the end of November, you may begin to see the first flakes of snow as the temperature continues to drop, and some local businesses close for the winter. Although January through late March can be extremely cold, you may have a chance to see the lake covered with ice, as well as ice fishermen trying to catch saugeye and crappie.


Top things to do in Buckeye Lake

The Dawes Arboretum

With nearly 2,000 acres of themed gardens as well as wilder natural areas, this tranquil arboretum is an attractive place for nature-spotting and picnicking. Twelve miles of gently sloped hiking trails wend their way through the park, and as you meander along the crisscrossing pathways, you can visit the Japanese garden, azalea garden, and one of the country’s northernmost cypress swamps.

Buckeye Lake State Park

The Buckeye Lake State Park, which encompasses the 3,100-acre Buckeye Lake and 400 acres of surrounding shorelines, is perhaps the main draw for visitors. You’ll find three swimming areas and picnic spots around the park, as well as the paved, four-mile Buckeye Lake Dam Trail. This trail takes you from the village along the shoreline to the Leibs Island Trailhead, passing by cottages and boat docks as you take in sweeping views of the lake and its islands.

Great Circle Museum

Built by a people now known as the Hopewell culture between 100 B.C. and 500 A.D., the Great Circle Earthworks has been a sacred site for Native Americans for more than two millennia. A site for ceremonies honoring the dead or social gatherings, the Earthworks are the world’s largest set of geometric earthen enclosures. The four-square-mile complex also once served as a cathedral, cemetery, and astronomical observatory. This fascinating outdoor museum is located just 20 minutes from Buckeye Lake.
