We had a wonderful experience at the Country Boho! The house was clean and well stocked. It is a historic home with lots of interesting details. The views and outdoor spaces are very relaxing. The house is on a hill and is very private. We had a terrific thunderstorm that added to the adventure. 5 minute drive to Kenyon. The trail is very close as well.

Two keys to this property, (1) property is beautiful and (2) it’s a large 5-6 bedroom home! Bottom line it has a lot of nice features but in many cases they’re a little rough around the edges. Both the gas and charcoal grills are not useable in present condition. There’s an older Viking range that’s a tad rough. To be fair the main gathering area is very nice with a nice fireplace. The views are great, saw a couple Eagles perched above the house one morning.

The hosts were welcoming, communicative, and provided so many extras to enhance our stay, the kitchen is very well equipped.Bedrooms and bathrooms are clean, lovely and very comfortable. However, for a large group, the hot tub is quite small, and we did wish that the outdoor area provided more space and seating to sit around the fire.That being said, it is a beautiful area and we would definitely go back.

Thanksgiving Family Weekend

We had a large group with family from Maryland, Kentucky and Michigan. The house was wonderful with plenty of space, bedrooms and kitchen room for cooking our Thanksgiving feast. We appreciated Sarah and Ryan who were extremely responsive and helpful, giving us tips and info about the area for places to enjoy on our stay. We had a wonderful time and would love to return.

Country farm house

The house was well cared for and reflected the owners respecting of its age. It was enjoyed by all the guests. It offered a quiet setting to come back to stay each night. We did not need to prepare no meals during our stay. So, that made relaxation a treat. Many get conversations took some late into the early morning without disturbing others who sleep.

Cozy and Clean - Helpful Hosts and Natural Setting

We visited for a reunion planning meeting at Kenyon. The property is very cozy and had everything we needed. It's in a very natural setting - beautiful views. The property is only about a 5-minute drive to campus. The walk to the edge of campus is about 10 minutes but closer to 25 minutes to get to Peirce (the main dining hall). All in all very enjoyable stay. The hosts reached out to speak by phone beforehand and were extremely friendly and helpful.

Weekend Getaway

We had a great weekend staying at this adorable boho farmhouse! We celebrated my mom’s 60th birthday with our immediate family and children. The kitchen was huge and fun to all cook together and the kids all enjoyed playing hide n seek and exploring the huge home and property. We went to Kenyon campus for some coffees and shopping at an adorable boutique. We also enjoyed the old train and park in town as well. Thank you so much for an excellent stay!
