We had a great visit for Freshman drop off. The house was very comfortable for our family of 4. It is walking distance to everything on campus. We look forward to many visits over the next 4 years!

We loved it.
This house was great for us while we were in the area for a conference. There were so many places to walk and enjoy. We wanted to sit out on the patio one evening but decided not to due to a large number of cobwebs. The inside of the house was perfect and we had a wonderful time.

Family Visit
This house was much better than advertised. It is ideally located for visits to Kenyon College although we were there to visit family. The listing did not do it justice. Great place.

Great Location and House Amenities
The location is perfect for Kenyon sporting activities. It’s also a great spot to get on the bike trail. The house is not big but the hosts have really made good use of the space. It looks like a new house inside and the covered sitting area in the back provides a large area to socialize with your house guests.
Property was very nice. Beds where very comfortable and the owners are very nice. Would stay again

Comfortable and Convenient Stay!
We were in town for a swim meet at the Kenyon natatorium. The location of this property could not have been more convenient for that. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the house, and the comfort of the beds. The back patio was a pleasant space to spend the evenings we were in town, and the owners’ communication was a 10/10. Highly recommend!
