About this house rental
If you are looking for a quiet getaway retreat, visit the cozy Beacon for some good ol' fashion R&R. If you are looking for a more adventurous trip full of lake activities like boating, fishing, skiing, paddle-boarding, and tubing, a stay at the lake-neighboring Beacon is just what you need. Retire home to the Beacon after a night on the town exploring local pubs, restaurants, shops, and all Buckeye Lake has to offer.
The Beacon is a 100-year-old cottage located in Ohio's first state park. It has grown from its original 1 room fishing cabin with an outhouse on the old canal to a cozy 850 sq ft, 3 bedroom, 1 bath fully functional home, with just enough modern to keep you both relaxed and connected. The Beacon is centrally located just 30 minutes from downtown Columbus and only 40 minutes from the Hocking Hills. Family festivities are offered all year round, from welcoming the New Year with Benny the Bass and the Polar Plunge, to spectacular 4th of July firework shows.
A few days at the lake and you will think you were gone for a week!

The Beacon was a very cute cottage.
Was clean and stocked well. We enjoyed our time in the area for the Mopar Nationals. It is a very small three bed 1 bath cottage that is 100 years old. Rooms are so small that you can hardly turn around in. If you like privacy this is not the place. Sheer curtains in the windows or no curtian at all. Every neighbor or passer by can see in the cottage. My daughter could not even change in her room bc no blinds. The master bedroom was backed up to the neighbors and they had light on all night that shines in room. Back door deadbolt didnt lock so was very nervous that we couldnt deadbolt door at bedtime. Floors are not same level from kitchen to livingroom be prepared for a 2 inch step up ledge thats a real toe breaker! I believe it got all 5 of us multiple times. Bathroom shower is extremely small and the door is a pull shut and hook lock. All the doors drug the floors and stuck tight when trying to open or close them. If the kids got up to use restroom in middle of night they woke the whole house bc its so loud opening the doors. Not happy about being charged a cleaning fee that is so high to have to clean the house before we leave. Sorry but thats a bit much. Strip beds empty trash throw towels in laundry room.. Ect. I have cleanned houses for vaction rentals and never had the vacationers clean b4 they leave. The ppl were friendly and the house is in a decent area but the homes are stacked tight next to each other. You can see what your neighbors are eating or watching on Tv. This was a nice place but for the price and cleaning fee i think its over priced.

Relaxing Family Girls Trip
I enjoyed this beautiful lake cottage with 2 of my teenage nieces and my mom. The location is ideal, a short walk to the lake. Downtown Buckeye Lake is only minutes away and the grocery store, Kroger, is 4 miles away (with a Starbucks inside). The cottage had plenty of room for the four of us. The front porch was a nice escape if the girls were watching TV. The cottage has a fire pit and a small grill if you are so inclined (we were not as I don't trust my campfire skills). The neighbors were lovely, greeting us on our morning walks around the lake. And I can't believe what an easy and fast drive the cottage is from Columbus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Nice Quiet Neighborhood
We had a great week as family on our vacation here! They had bikes which was perfect for everyone to go on nightly bike rides. The fire pit was great to have, we had one almost every night! With 5 of us, it was snug but we made the best of everything! The host was very quick in responding to any questions.

Wonderful Time by the Lake
We had such a relaxing and wonderful time staying here. The host was great with communication and made sure we had everything we needed. We took advantage of the bikes and rode them almost everyday on the bike path. We will definitely be back to Buckeye Lake. Thank you!

A pleasant tiny cottage near the lake.
We enjoyed our stay at this little cottage. Tom was quick to offer assistance when needed and was good to work with. The cottage had everything you’d need for a short stay. We had 4 adults in the cottage and it was probably a little too snug for this but we made it work. It was very tastefully decorated; a cute little place.

Awesome get away!
We had a great time and enjoyed the exquisitely decorated lake house. Everything was very clean and the place had everything we needed. Tom and his wife go above and beyond to make their place a home away from home. We rented this place in order to be close to The Wilds, a great safari experience in the middle of Ohio. It was amazing! Buckeye Lake and the whole community was awesome. We so enjoyed ourselves! Thanks so much!

Owners Great to Work With!
The house wasn't listed as a pet-friendly house, but we had limited options in the area. The owner was open to us bring our trained dog, and met us at the house for check-in. He showed us around and gave us his number in case we had any problems. We never needed to contact him, and had a great stay!
