New Lakefront Retreat w/ Pool
Wow! Pictures do not do it justice. The place is brand new. They have everything you could want including bathroom supplies cooking basics fire wood paper goods. This place was simply amazing. I mentioned cooking a turkey and not only did they make sure a roasting pan was there but also supplied disposable ones. The place looks professionally decorated. They had directions for everything. The small touches were fantastic. They even supplied cotton pads for your face. The layout is fantastic. The views of the lake were beautiful. We were all sad to leave. As great as it was in the winter I want to come back in the summer. There’s a bar across the water that you could just take a raft over to!

Secluded Cabin & Lake House! Private Pond! Pets!
Beautiful, peaceful, quiet spot. Look just like the pictures. Crystal clear, hot tub. Great access to pond and use of boat with lifejackets included. Fishing was great(rubber worms catches the bass). Tons of wood available for camp fires. Dogs loved the freedom of the area. Cozy beds. Lake house was a nice little addition to the property and place to relax. Kitchen and master shower could have used some extra cleaning. I would definitely recommend bring your drinking water. We would definitely return. Great place

Location, location, location!!!
Beautifully renovated lakeside cottage with everything you need for a relaxing stay! Great walking/biking path (I felt 100% safe walking at night), and tasty restaurants nearby. Quiet and peaceful, with a fantastic lake view right from the living room! Highly recommend!

Cheerful 3-bed vacay home w/free car &boat parking
Had a fishing tournament and only needed a short stay she helped out with that. Everything was perfect for us. She definitely is a great host and will use again is in area

*Waterfront Log Cabin On Bike Path, Private Dock*
We rented for a girls weekend for Winterfest ❄️🐟!! It was a perfect location and a beautiful home!! Lots of space to hangout and comfortable accommodations for all of us!! Amber was very responsive to any questions we had!!

Buckeye Lake Retreat

Buckeye Lake Getaway - Patio, Game Room, 2.5 Bath
Fully enjoyed the experience we had here! Mike was quick to respond, the house was cozy, and a convenient location in Buckeye Lake. Most definitely would stay here again!

Cozy 4-bedroom cottage with lake view and patio
They were incredibly responsive hosts and made our trip that much easier! We had an issue with the door code but they helped us get in asap. The house was perfect for a kid—our toddler was thrilled to have so many fun toys to play with especially with not having great weather to play outside.

Home away from home - fenced yard a block to lake
Everything was great!!!! Samantha was amazing and extremely responsive. We stayed for over a month while our house was being remodeled and we would definitely stay here again. The location is great and every time we messaged Samantha, she got back to us right away. I would highly recommend this AirBNB to everyone!!!!!!

Lakeside Haven
I stayed here alone, but this would be the perfect place for a group or family. The beds were comfortable, and the sheets were high quality. They even had different types of pillows available to suit your preference. Getting to the lake was easy. Just 15 steps off the front porch. I’ll definitely be staying here again.

Waterside Retreat-Next To Lake-Sleeps 22-10TVSRoku
This is a wonderful and unique home with tons of space and beautiful furnishings and designs. Hosts are great and the location right on the lake is fantastic. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great stay, Tina and Team!

Eagle's Nest Lake Cottage
Stayed here for LL 2024 and would do it again. It was a 7 minute ride to and from aside from getting there unless you left after 2-3pm. It was the perfect place to have AC, stay in from the rain, have a bed to sleep in and full kitchen/refrigerator to not pay festival food prices for every meal. Scott was and continues to be the best, nicest and most responsive host I’ve ever encountered. He treated us like family allowing us to check in early, check out late, etc.. He responded through the app as fast as if I was texting his personal cell. One of us left an item at the home and he sent it back right away. I plan on trying to book this anytime I come back for LL or come back to the area. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and everything was as advertised. We wish we could have used the boat slip/dock and fire pit but didn’t have the time.

Charming House W Boat Dock Avail
What a lovely home!!! Good eateries nearby and beautiful location. My guests and I loved staying here, very comfy and cozy. Plenty of space to spread out and COMFY beds! We enjoyed how quiet it was but a quick stroll away from some good eats or a nice view. Great house! We would love to come back again

*Newly Upgraded* Hot Tub-Game Room-Dock-Fire Pits
This was a perfect getaway for my family. The house is beautiful. The hot tub was great and the game room was really fun. My teenagers really got better at shooting pool. Kitchen had everything we needed. We grilled out one night. I wish we came when it was warmer to take advantage of the fire pits. The hosts communicated well and gave clear instructions. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

Cottage @ Buckeye Lake w/ Huge Private Fenced Yard
Great house !!! Close to lake and restaurant! Lots of games . Backyard and hot tub are amazing . We loved our stay and treated with a bottle of wine! Amazing host !

New Home - "See More" at the lake
This was a very nice Airbnb! Very clean and decorated cute. The beds were also very comfortable!

Spacious King bed apartment in Historical Mansion
This space is really special - the house itself is beautiful, old and full of character. It's definitely not a space where the outside looks old and the inside has had all character stripped. The unit itself is tastefully decorated in a way that makes it feel both old and modern. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials. The morning light in the turret is so gorgeous. I honestly can't say enough good things. I will definitely be recommending to others.

Private★Modern★Cozy★ Amazing Location★Walkable
Rori’s place was exactly as described, I was pleasantly surprised by how much space there actually was; I don’t think the photos did it justice. The decor was really pretty and the bedrooms were very warm and cozy! Also, pleasantly surprised by the ample parking and the neighborhood felt very safe. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others!!

Log Cabin country views 3 miles to Granville
We stayed one night over new years eve. Host was very accommodating and allowed us late checkout as the cleaning fee was more than than the discounted rate of one night. We loved it. I'll share the secret 😅 lol It was actually a first date,we met halfway between us, which was this house. I think she's the one,and it started on NYE 😁👏🙏. Thank you Allison

Lovely 1 BR Free Parking + Wi-Fi
It was very quiet and safe. Having a washer and dryer was nice as well.

Hillside Hideaway
This house was absolutely stunning! Many in my family were taking pictures so as to implement in their homes. My family was able to have wonderful Easter dinner and egg hunt. The back deck and yard kept the kids busy for hours! This was my favorite Airbnb rental this far!

BM vacation home.
Great house in a great neighborhood, friendly and walkable. Close to everything you need. We will definitely stay here again.

Eden Hill Farmhouse
Eden Hill Farmhouse was a great find and perfect for our needs. The house has been updated but exudes historical charm that the pictures can't quite capture. Gary was responsive and communicative from start to finish, and he is a gracious and welcoming host! We hope to come back in the future!

Rustic Cabin on 5 Acres | Water Front Getaway
We enjoyed the location and watching nature all around us in the mornings and evenings. It feels much more remote than it actually is - easy access to restaurants, grocery stores and retail.

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.
