DanielleRating, 5 stars4 days ago

The Parker House was beautiful and the perfect location for our stay. We swam, relaxed in the hot tub, made s’mores by the fire, walked the property and took in the stunning views from both inside the house and out on the patio. The trip was both memorable and relaxing. Ted and his team were always available for questions and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Classic home in Westerville w\ movie room & deck

KarlRating, 5 stars5 months ago

House was exactly as described. Bryan was very responsive and the location to my grown family in northern Westerville was perfect for a great birthday for Grandma. There were two days of snow on our trip and Bryan came over himself to shovel and salt the driveway and walkway. It was bitter cold outside but the house was nice and warm. All the beds and bedrooms were great for our family. Surprise sweet treats greeted us upon arrival and the kitchen had plenty of coffee to wake us up in the morning. This house worked great for our family.

An outdoor dining area features a glass-top table surrounded by six cushioned chairs on a wooden deck. The deck offers a view of the lake and surrounding shoreline, with clear blue skies above. The peaceful water reflects the scenic landscape.

My family and I stayed at Megan’s place for Memorial Day weekend and to attend my grandson’s high school graduation. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep, we cooked breakfast in the kitchen and grilled steaks on the gas grill.

If you are wanting a peaceful place to stay, this would be it. Being on the lake gives you a quiet place to relax and simply enjoy the outdoors. The house was a perfect size for us. It is quaint but with modern conveniences. If you want to disconnect from everything and still have the ability to communicate if needed, the setup is ideal. Anyone wanting a true getaway, you won’t be disappointed.
