Beautiful Home, Great Location!

I stayed here for Kenyon reunion with a group of friends. It’s an excellent location (right next to the Morgan apartments, or “milks”) and a beautiful home, with a lovely sun room and Adirondack chairs outside. We loved staying here and will definitely try to book it for reunions in the future!

Perfect rental for a visit with my Kenyon student. Location was amazing, and there was plenty of room inside and out. It is always so nice to stay at a rental that has everything you need! The A/C was cool, the tv was easy to use, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Comfy beds and great communication with hosts. Thank you for sharing your home- we look forward to our next visit!!

Perfect Kenyon weekend

We visited our daughter for the weekend and couldn’t be happier with this house. Conveniently located next to the Morgan apts and walking distance to everything on campus. The house was well stocked with everything we needed to host a team dinner too.

The Farmhouse was very clean and comfortable to stay. I think the only tging is your steps to the house and the driveway could be a problem for older individuals with no railing . But everything was just lovely Thank you, Lori

Kenyon gem

This is a wondeful farmhouse stay that's right on Kenyon campus. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms make it a prefect stay for family weekend or move in/out at Kenyon College. The host is very available and helpful. Great kitchen, great bathrooms and comfy beds.

We had a wonderful stay! The house is just as advertised and was beautiful. It was perfect for our group of six Kenyon alumni. It had everything we needed, was very clean, and the location is perfect for walking to everything on campus. The hosts were very responsive to questions and did a great job providing all the information we needed. I hope to return and stay here again in the future.

Perfect location for Kenyon visit

I stayed with my daughter and several of her classmates for a weekend when visiting for an alumni event. The house is spacious, nicely furnished, and in a fantastic location for visiting Kenyon College. Hosts were responsive and provided lots of good information both via text and in an on-site notebook. Fire pit was a lovely touch!
