Your own stretch of Buckeye Lake shoreline, under an hour from Columbus and about 20 minutes from Newark. Guests describe a quiet, friendly lakefront street where neighbors are happy to share tips about the area. This season, our picks: Granville's village shops and holiday strolls (26 min), Easton Town Center for holiday shopping (50 min), and a Buckeyes game at Ohio Stadium (56 min). In winter the lake freezes over, so plan on fireside nights and frozen-lake views rather than time on the water.
You have the entire three-story home to yourself, except the garage. Check in yourself with the smart lock; stairs lead from the front entry up to the main floor. Park on site for 4 to 5 vehicles; extra space for cars or boat trailers must be arranged with us in advance. The washer and dryer are on the second floor.

FALL AND WINTER AT THE LAKE
