Lakefront 6BR w/ Heated Pool! Fire-pit & Boat Slip

Gathering 16 for Thanksgiving, Christmas or a family reunion? Spread out on Buckeye Lake: 6 bedrooms, two living rooms, three fireplaces and wide lake views from the deck and balconies. Warm up at the lakefront gas fire pit by the dock, then cook together in the big kitchen. Under an hour from Columbus, 20 min to Newark. A 4.94 Guest Favorite cared for by Stupendous Stays, a local family-run team. Heated pool is seasonal (Apr 24 to Oct 20). Book your holiday dates now.

We offer a smooth and hassle-free self-check-in experience! While I don’t live on-site, I’m always just a message away if you need anything.

✅ Easy Check-In Process – Complete your rental agreement and ID verification in minutes!

Just like at a hotel, where you provide your ID and security deposit at the front desk, our check-in process is just as simple—only online! We use a secure system, where you’ll receive a personalized rental agreement, ID verification, and a quick security hold (not a deposit). Once completed, your arrival instructions will be sent right to you.

💡 Important: These steps must be completed to receive check-in details. Skipping them means we can’t provide arrival info, and refunds aren’t possible.

✨ Your Personalized Guidebook
Once you're all set, you'll get access to a detailed guidebook with everything you need to know about the home, my favorite local spots, and even automatic updates for early check-in or the occasional late checkout! You can also share it with friends and family.

Have any questions? Just send us a message—we’re happy to help!

Your own stretch of Buckeye Lake shoreline, under an hour from Columbus and about 20 minutes from Newark. Guests describe a quiet, friendly lakefront street where neighbors are happy to share tips about the area. This season, our picks: Granville's village shops and holiday strolls (26 min), Easton Town Center for holiday shopping (50 min), and a Buckeyes game at Ohio Stadium (56 min). In winter the lake freezes over, so plan on fireside nights and frozen-lake views rather than time on the water.

You have the entire three-story home to yourself, except the garage. Check in yourself with the smart lock; stairs lead from the front entry up to the main floor. Park on site for 4 to 5 vehicles; extra space for cars or boat trailers must be arranged with us in advance. The washer and dryer are on the second floor. The dock and gas fire pit are yours year-round; the pool opens April 24 to October 20 only.

Stupendous Stays welcomes you to a 3,400 sq ft, three-story lakefront home on Buckeye Lake, set up for big holiday tables and long weekends together.

• Sleeps 16 in 6 bedrooms, with 4 full baths plus a half bath in the pool house
• Three fireplaces: one wood-burning in the main floor living room, two gas on the top floor (bring your own firewood)
• Two living rooms, so the game crowd and the movie crowd each get a spot
• Chef's kitchen: stainless gas stove, double oven, dishwasher, blender, drip and Keurig coffee makers (K-cups provided)
• Large dining table plus island and breakfast bar seating
• Private dock and boat slip, lakefront gas fire pit with seating for 6 to 8, two balconies and a deck
• High-speed Wi-Fi, ethernet and a dedicated workspace
• Board games, Bluetooth sound system, smart TVs in every bedroom (log in to your own streaming and log out at checkout)
• Family gear: pack 'n play, 2 high chairs, baby gates, children's books, toys and dinnerware
• Dogs welcome (2 max, with approval)
• On-site parking for 4 to 5 vehicles
• Heated salt-water pool and pool house: seasonal, open April 24 to October 20

BEDROOMS
Top-floor primary suite: queen bed, private en-suite bath, fireplace, sitting area and a private balcony over the lake.
Second floor: a queen room with its own balcony, and a queen room beside a shared full bath.
Main floor: a queen room with balcony access, and a bunk room with a twin-over-full bunk plus a twin daybed.
Sixth sleeping space: a queen sleeper sofa plus an air mattress for extra guests.
Every full bath is stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and the essentials.

FALL AND WINTER AT THE LAKE
The dock and fire pit are yours November to March, but the lake freezes over in winter, so there is no boating, swimming or paddling then. What you get instead: frozen-lake views from the deck and balconies, evenings around the gas fire pit, and three fireplaces inside while the turkey roasts.

GOOD TO KNOW
The home has three levels, with stairs from the front entry up to the main floor. Firewood is not provided for the main floor wood-burning fireplace; the two gas fireplaces need none.

Stupendous Stays is a local, family-run hospitality team. Book your dates and we will have the house ready when you arrive.

You will want a car. On-site parking fits 4 to 5 vehicles; extra space for cars or boat trailers can be arranged with us in advance. Drive times: Newark about 20 min, Granville 26 min, Downtown Columbus 48 min, John Glenn Columbus airport (CMH) 49 min. In boating season, launch at the public ramp and tie up at your private slip; in winter the lake is frozen.
