New Lakefront Retreat w/ Pool

JenRating, 5 stars4 months ago
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!

AnnaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
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

Cozy 4-bedroom cottage with lake view and patio

PaigeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

Lakeside Haven

EmmaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

Eagle's Nest Lake Cottage

MichaelRating, 5 stars7 months ago
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.

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

EricRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

Spacious King bed apartment in Historical Mansion

AlieshaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.

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!!

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.
