Weekend getaway

The duplex was very nice and beautiful. The river was just a short walk from the house. We did have a wonderful time. Negatives: No games upstairs as listed in listing. Whirlpool bath doesn't work as listed. No kitchen towels or dishcloths to wash dishes. No extra blankets or throw blankets in livingroom. Only one firepit outside so you must share with the other apartment in the duplex. It wouldn't take much to dig another firepit for

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Everything was beautiful and clean. Anything that we needed, the property manager texted us right back and took care of everything that they could. It was nice and peaceful. The only drawback was that I thought we were going to have a river view, but you have to walk to the river. However, that did not affect our stay. We had a wonderful time and were very comfortable!

Cute little duplex near lots of amenities. Loved the fire pit and the extras that were supplied (toilet paper, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, hand soap, towels, coffee, etc etc). Only thing missing, which isn’t a criticism, was that there is no toaster which we missed having at breakfast time. It was comfy and we felt safe. We would definitely stay there again!

Great Location - on the river and short drive to the lake!

This is a family friendly duplex located on the Licking River and just a short distance from Cave Run Lake and the famous Pop's restaurant. We were in town for a baseball tournament and highly recommend it. We had 2 adults and 3 children in the house and were more than comfortable.

We had an excellent stay! We loved Pop's BBQ & Elliott's Pizza which was about 1/2 mile away. The family loved our stay and there was plenty of room to spread out, plenty of outside space and a wonderful private gas fire table in the back which is fenced in. Coming back next year during graduation weekend. Thank you Host!

River retreat

It is a great property close to a nice area for fishing and the lake. Needs some more supplies for the guests. For example, it sleeps 7 but only had 4 plates and forks. It also stated it had 3 bathrooms but there were only two.

Not on a river or lake.

We were really excited to be near water. The river is on a neighbor’s property, who has two large dogs that chased my dogs. The house is nice though, and the owner as really sweet.

Wonder people. Wonderful place

I just want to thank the owners for there compassion. My mom had an accident on our boat we rented which lead to a surgery and the owners were generous enough to to give us a night free. That meant so.much to us and really tells us what kindness is. The place was so clean and nice. Perfect!!! Thank u again. I give it the highest ratings!!!

Great location> super comfy home

We had a great time! 4 adults. Plenty of room to spread out or be together. Good size driveway for the boat. The neighbors dogs are totally adorable & just want to come hang out on the porch. The neighborhood duck is funny running around & hiding in the bushes. The private back patio is nice too. Other ppl have noted the “noisy neighbors” & atv’s. We saw the atv’s out front but no one was ever on them & when we did see the neighbors they were just doing typical things so Im not sure what’s up with those complaints in other reviews. We will 100% stay here again. The proximity to the lake seals the deal on that! Don’t miss out on booking this location.

Relaxing getaway

My family and I enjoyed staying at the house. Although we did read the reviews before we stayed about the noisy neighbors and the dogs well yes the people to the left were noisy with loud music for 2 days straight but we just ignored them thankfully they were playing the kind of music that I liked but I wish I would have got to hear the crickets and the birds more and we had our dog with us she really enjoyed herself she had to run of the whole property even though the neighbors have chickens and ducks she was well behaved and the two dogs that they talk about they're very friendly and they're only come over if you have a dog but the lady seems to keep track of them and keeps them at home overall I really enjoyed staying at this property it felt like home for a few days to me and my family I would recommend that they supply more garbage bags possibly some q-tips Little things matter. And the one thing that didn't look as advertised was the river is not right outside of the property you have to cross over to the other property that the owners are buying in order to get to the water which is fine but I had to call and make sure we were okay to go there so that was a little false advertising to me was seeing the water right beside the house but then it wasn't when I got there that would probably be the only downfall that I had to say but other than that we spent three nights and four days there and I will definitely be coming back so thank you very much Tina!
