Find Places to Stay in Gambier on Airbnb

exactly as advertised. one block from the main strip in gambier. walking distance to everything Kenyon.

This is a wonderful property with all the comforts of home. Everything was immaculate and very welcoming. I would highly recommend this property to everyone.

This home was a sweet, cozy, clean place that was so convenient to the college where we could enjoy every minute with our college student. And being a short walk to Wiggins Street Coffee Co. was just an added bonus :). It snowed while we were there so we were able to make our first snowman with our daughter. A memory we will never forget!

This home is lovely, exactly as described (perhaps even better than described), and extremely well-stocked. The location is ideal for a visit to Kenyon or the quaint town of Gambier. The hosts consistently provided helpful, timely communication. Truly, one of the best Airbnb experiences I have had.

Matt and Maria are excellent hosts and their home is wonderful. It is a great location and extremely comfortable. The decor is adorable and we will be back!

Clean, comfortable, modern. Perfect for visitors to Kenyon /Gambier.

Maria and Matt are gracious hosts. They are quick to respond and flexible with requests. Their home is decorated beautifully and sparkling clean. The back deck gave us a place to connect with family in beautiful surroundings. The breakfast bar in the kitchen was a great place for a eucher battle. I highly recommend Maria and Matt's place and thank them for sharing their home with us.

Perfect little spot to visit Gambier. Comfortable, thoughtfully prepared and excellently hosted. Can’t wait to return.

Great place! Apple Valley is such a beautiful community. John was a great host, checked in often and made the check in process super easy. The space is huge. Great living area with big screen TV, dining area, big kitchen, king size bed, huge closet etc. Nice double head shower with great pressure and lots of hot water. Easy self checkin and checkout and super close to the lake. Really worked well for me for the 3 days I was there!

Great place. A lot bigger than I expected. Super nice.

John was very attentive to our needs,

Very nice space, almost a mini-palace. Nice finishes and amenities, very comfortable bed and luxurious shower. Easy checkin, and multiple entertainment center options. Highly recommended.

Lovely basement apartment with all the amenities. The main room/kitchen area is huge and stylish, the bed was insanely comfortable and the shower was indulgent. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. Televisions in main area and bedroom. Would definitely stay again.

Crisp atmosphere, clean, and peaceful! Great host that communicates well!

Spacious, clean unit, with well-equipped kitchen. Lots of light from the big windows up front. Handsome, nicely tiled 2-person shower. Quite convenient to Kenyon College, by way of some beautiful country roads.

Great place to stay! Host is quick with responding to your messages

Great location if you are visiting campus. Very spacious, cozy and well appointed. Has the basics and extra touches such as to- go coffee cups! Plenty of space and nice deck. Highly recommended!

The house is perfectly clean, stylish, and warm. A wonderful location right on campus and just an overall great place to stay when visiting Kenyon!

If I could give more than 5 stars for the location, I would! The house is comfortable and well-equipped and a very short walk to Kenyon's athletic facilities and fields and its dining hall.

This house was absolutely perfect for a group of alums coming back to celebrate an on-campus wedding! The space is exactly as it appears in the pictures, and everything was spotless when we arrived. The check in/out instructions are very helpful and clear, and there are many thoughtful touches that make the space extra comfortable. We would most definitely stay here again!

All around great place. I was on my own, but this would also be a great place for a family to stay or for families to share while visiting Kenyon. Lots of beds and a fully outfitted kitchen. I didn’t need a car because the house is essentially on campus close to everything. Lovely deck. Plenty of towels and my bed was comfy. Pristinely clean.

Wonderful space - everything you need for an overnight trip or two. Location to Kenyon campus cannot be beat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this clean, comfortable and cozy home. We greatly appreciated all of the amenities, closeness to the Kenyon Athletic Center, Kenyon’s campus, Village Market and the back deck. It truly felt like a home away from home.

This is a terrific property right by Kenyon College's Athletic Center. Very nice house with lots of extra amenities. We truly enjoyed our stay!!

I absolutely fell in love with this house! It was everything catered to my need of feeling like I was in my own personal oasis ! The best Airbnb that I have ever stayed at. I will be back. Thank you for creating the perfect experience for me. I will definitely be back !! The owners were amazing and truly catered to my every need ! I give it a 10 out of 10! It’s a must visit quaint house ! The pictures do not do it justice 🙂

Guys. This place is JAW DROPPING. Theres so.much detail i cant even begin to explain. The bathroom and bath tub is PHENOMENAL. She left snacks and champagne and just so much detail. I loved the speakers in the rooms, the art room was soo cute...and just everything I cannot rave enough.

We came here for a weekend away. We had a great time! We would recommend this stay to anyone. The house is very comfortable and well decorated. Pretty much had anything you would need (plenty of towels, kitchenware, extra toiletries, and snacks). The outdoor area looked great and we wished it was warmer so we could have enjoyed it. The bedrooms and bathroom both exceeded expectations. Very comfortable. The Airbnb is also very close to Kenyon College and Mont Vernon Nazarene which are both nice campuses to walk around and visit or if you are here to visit one of those colleges this Airbnb would be a great place to stay at. Glad we came here for the weekend.

The Little Pink Barn is the perfect weekend getaway! It had everything you need plus more and Ginny is available to help with any needs! The house is so cute and stylish and I definitely want to make another trip there at some point!

The space is very comfortable and a short walk to the Kenyon campus. Jerry is a wonderful host, generous and charming. I hope to be back soon!

We arrived late and left early, so we actually didn't meet the host, but he made our visit smooth. We have no complaints, all was good.

Close to Kenyon and the space was just as expected.

Perfect accommodations. The best host.

Jerry is an amazing host. He is friendly, welcoming and readily available. His home is cozy and comfortable, perfectly located at the edge of Kenyon College's campus. We already have another stay booked !

Jerry’s house was clean and pleasant, convenient to Kenyon College campus, restful and quiet. We had a great stay, Jerry was super generous and communicative.

I and my daughter have stayed in Jerry's house for a few days before check-in Kenyon College. The location is very convenient for the parent to visit Kenyon College. I would like to thank Jerry and his friends for warmly and usefulness hospitality. I would select Jerry's house if I have a chance to come back Gambier.

My partner and I arrived at Jerry's house in the evening after a long drive from Minneapolis and in need of peace and quiet. We loved the place. Interesting, comfortable, quiet. It was perfect.

Clean, lots of thoughtful touches, friendly host, private.

Great place to stay very nice neighborhood

You can expect to have an overnight stay that is like staying with family. Very quiet, private, and relaxing.

This is a basement with owners living upstairs but it’s wonderful. You get the whole basement to yourselves and it’s nice a cozy with a gas fireplace that turns in with a switch. Very pleasant hosts. Small refrigerators and no kitchen but again, it’s a great place with wonderful touches.

A very homey space with very comfortable beds and lots of special touches.

Stephen's place is spacious and immaculately clean and quiet. We had a great overnight!

This is our second time staying at Stephen's house. Stephen and Jo were super sweet. We even ran into them at The Bad Apple Pub and rang in the New Year together! The house was clean and equipped with lots of toiletries. Perfect place to stay if you need a place to sleep for an evening or two!

Highly Recommend to anyone staying in the area!!

We had a great stay at the Garage Getaway. Don’t let the “garage” part fool you, this is a comfortable and well-appointed place with lots of extra touches.

The Garage Getaway is very comfortable and clean! Chad also had plenty of snacks and cold drinks available. The location is convenient to shopping, restaurants and both Colleges/University. I hope to stay here again when visiting Mt.Vernon. Highly recommend!!

All the comforts of home with some thoughtful touches, Chad's place was perfect for our 2 night visit to the Mt Vernon/Gambier area. This was our second time staying here, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again in the future. Thanks Chad!

Stayed at Chad’s Garage Getaway for second time. Same super exceptional hospitality, communications and cleanliness, all amenities you could need and super communication.

Chad has made a welcoming space for travelers located near downtown Mt Vernon. The amenities are great and we enjoyed our visit during the Christmas season to spend time with family.

Chad's place is great!

Chad was a great host and his place was exactly what we were looking for for our short stay! Will absolutely be back when staying in the area

Really great place. Chad checked in on us everyday. Was clean and all it was listed was true

Bege and Denny were very hospitable hosts. My stay with them was fantastic and I enjoyed their company while there. The house was very clean and nicely set up as well.

My stay here was very pleasant. The house was incredibly clean, the room was comfortable and homey. Bege is a wonderful host and I would highly recommend staying here!!

We have been staying at Airbnb's for several years but always chose "entire place". We booked Bege's and Denny's place on pretty short notice and I was a little apprehensive of staying in someone's home with them. Bege quickly put me at ease and made us feel comfortable and welcome. Communication and check-in were easy with quick response times and the room actually looks nicer than the picture and is very spacious. Everything was very clean and the bathroom offered some amenities. Coffee in the room and we were treated to home-baked raisin bread in the morning. Lego, the dog, is very friendly. Diva, the cat keeps her distance. I have a pretty severe cat allergy but oddly (and thankfully) had no reaction to the cat at all. We enjoyed our space and its surroundings but what really makes this place special is the hosts - Bege and Denny are open and welcoming people who are interested in the guests they host. We thank them for a nice stay and a wonderful morning and hope we didn't talk your ears completely off :)

What a fabulous place to stay! The house is tucked away in a lovely little forest of trees in an area of gently rolling hills. The room was big, clean and quiet. I had my own bathroom which was spotless. Bege and Denny were friendly and helpful. I’d definitely stay here again.

Bege is an outstanding host with a lovely home. It was so beautiful tucked up in the woods that I didn’t want to leave. The room is large and comfortable. The bathroom was perfect, also.

Clean, comfortable, cozy place with hot coffee and homemade bread each morning! My 2nd stay! Close proximity to Kenyon College! Highly recommend!

WARNING: you will be smitten with a great reluctance to leave this dreamy house and these great folks. You will want to be adopted (and I’m 70 yrs old). But you’ll be in line behind all the birds and woodland creatures and flowers Bege is Steward to. Their home deserves superlatives I haven’t learned or perhaps have not been created yet. The accommodations are palatial. Let’s put it this way the only amenities not available are indoor pool and masseuse.

Bege was a great hostess. The room was very spacious, warm, friendly and part of a beautiful home.

I loved Jerry's farm house. It's super spacious, clean, comfortable, and very private. If you're looking for a great spot in the beautiful Ohio countryside close to Kenyon, look no further!

Great place! Couldn’t ask for more

Charming historic house with plenty of space, relaxing environment, and comfortable and unique furnishings. Highly recommend.

Beautiful house on beautiful grounds that are fun to explore. There is a wonderful mix of experiencing a home from a different time with modern amenities. The board games and puzzles are a great touch. We hope to stay again. Great communication from friendly host, Jerry. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area.

What a perfect place to stay. We were out visiting our daughter at Kenyon and the location was minutes from the campus. Very cozy home and beautiful views out of every window. We can't wait to stay there again.

Hospitality and accommodations are top notch! Antiques and honey touches at every turn. Could not have had a better stay!

This home is a true treasure! It includes many beautiful antiques, thoughtful touches, and wonderfully landscapes grounds and trails. Sweet surprises at every turn! Can’t wait to return! And, by the way, was thankful for the lack of WiFi... unplugging is good for us every once in a while!

Amazing place with a terrific—though remote—location. Close to the Kenyon campus and was perfect for our needs.

They were such lovely hosts!

We enjoyed another wonderful stay at the Russo House! We can't wait to see Matt and his wonderful family again next year!

Matt's home is wonderful. I was only in town for a short night but I felt so welcome. I enjoyed the quiet, comfortable room and a lovely chat and a cup of tea before bed. I would highly recommend Matt's home if you are visiting Kenyon College or other locations nearby.

Loved staying here. I was attending Kenyon events so left the car at the farm and rode my bike on the Kokosing Gap trail (minutes from the house) back and forth to campus. Matt lent me his headlamp but i didn't think I'd need it with the big harvest moon. I needed it. so lovely. very good baked oats for breakfast and warm homemade bread as an evening snack.

He’s great! Very friendly guy who knows front and back what it means to be hospitable.

We enjoyed another wonderful stay at Matt and Renne's beautiful country house! Their warmth and hospitality was very much appreciated after our long drive from NJ.! The breakfast provided was so scrumptious and a perfect way to start our day. We also enjoyed our conversations with their children who are truly some of the most well-behaved and insightful children that I've ever met. Their great character is a true reflection of both Matt and Renne's great parenting skills! We can't wait to return again!

We loved the stay! The breakfast was very nice, and they treated us like family.

Nice experience in Matt house! I am an international student from China. During international student's pre-orientation, my father stays in Matt's house. Matt is very warm-hearted. I really appreciate that Matt gave my father a ride to Kenyon college. The location is about 5 minutes' drive from Kenyon College. So if you are an international student or you want to stay during vacation, I strongly recommend this one!

Great place to stay when visiting Kenyon!

You will love this secluded basement space to relax and rest from long travels. Very cozy & comfortable. Great place to stay at when coming to Mt. Vernon.

LuAnn's has a wonderful space with a great common space for multiple guests. It was clean and inviting, and easy to access and check out! It was also close to downtown and trails/parks in the area.

Great location. Convenient to Kenyon. Spacious.

LuAnn has thought of everything. The basement apartment is very nicely appointed and is a great alternative to staying in a hotel when visiting Gambier/Mt Vernon.

When you stay here, you have a private entrance to the finished basement, which is all yours to use including a rev room, laundry/kitchenette, bathroom, and bedroom. The bed has a wonderful memory foam which I appreciate so much!! The bathroom is spotless. LuAnn provides many thoughtful touches and quick responses. And I love that it’s literally two minutes from MVNU!

LuAnn was a great host with quick communication and easy check in/check out. The space was clean. Very nice updated bathroom

LuAnn is the definition of a superhost. The place was immaculate with amenities that made it feel like home. So much better than a hotel. Highly recommend staying here !

Great place to stay.

Great place for a getaway. Private, clean and very comfortable. We really enjoyed walking the property with our dogs and the view of the night sky was gorgeous.

I needed a quiet/ relaxing place to stay on a recent business trip and this place was perfect. Completely secluded but only minuets from town. I couldn’t have enjoyed the location or cabin more. That view👍👍👍👍👍

This was a great spot to stay. The location is very peaceful and cozy. You have everything you need there for a nice relaxing stay. It is close to trails and downtown. The porch and outdoor fireplace is amazing. I would definitely recommend.

Great getaway spot. Close to hiking. The cabin is big and bright. We even got to use the outdoor fireplace in January.

GORGEOUS getaway. This place is unique. We loved every minute and can't wait to come back again. Kitchen, bathroom and bedroom have everything you need.

Lovely space near Mt Vernon, OH. We were in town for the Wood Splitter Winter Solstice Endurance Race and it was a perfect place to stay. Less than 10 minutes from lots of restaurants and shops, and about 25min from the race location. The fireplace was just what we needed after being out in the cold for a full day. Cosy with a lovely view. Firewood is on premises for purchase which was really appreciated!

Very clean and peaceful.

Barbara was very accommodating and even let me borrow a few bowls for my dogs. I definitely recommend staying here!

I flew in from the West Coast and arrived to Gambier around 2:00 am. I didn't expect for Barbara to stay up and wait for me. The drive from CMH to Gambier at night (alone!) was pretty daunting but Barbara told me to call her if I needed to. She went on to say that, "Sometimes hearing a friendly voice on the other line can calm your fears." She knew exactly what I was feeling and was a very thoughtful gesture to extend to me. She and Bill made my stay in Gambier wonderful. I got to see some snow fall, a rare sight in Southern California. I loved their place - very spacious and welcoming. We will definitely be back in May. Thank you, Bill and Barbara, for a wonderful stay in the countryside. Best, ~ Rowenna

Excellent place - the view out the back is very nice. Everything was spotless and Barbara was a really good host. Hope to visit again someday - would highly recommend!

As always I look forward to staying at No Ordinary Manor! It is a gem of a place with the kindest hosts in Barbara and Bill! So cozy, comfortable and immaculate - with all the amenities you need for a perfect stay!! Can’t wait to return!!

Barbara's apartment is very comfortable, cozy and well equipped for a couple. She has it decorated with many country touches and it feels wonderfully homey. You cannot go wrong if you are looking for somewhere quiet in the rural Ohio countryside close to Amish country.

I do not usually trust reviews that give ***** but you can trust this one. My expectation was this would be a small place to crash for a few days while we were in Gambier. Instead we found it to be a roomy, immaculate place with everything you could need. We got in late and Barbara met us with a smile and showed us around. She was available if we needed anything, but we did not as she already thought of everything. We will definitely be back!!

More than we expected, spacious, well-kept place with everything we need. Close to Kenyon College and Mt. Vernon.

I don’t think you could have a better stay anywhere else! Barbara is an amazing host that takes pride in offering a clean, comfortable and relaxing home away from home. I would recommend her to everyone!

The place is even more beautiful in person than pictures! Very close to Kenyon College. Warm and thoughtful accomdation. Highly recommend Nancy's place!

Nancy and David's home is very conveniently located to Kenyon College. It offered a beautiful, clean, and quiet space for a restful night's sleep. The coffee and snacks for the morning were greatly appreciated. Will definitely try to stay again when the need arises. Thank you for your hospitality!

The perfect place to stay when visiting Kenyon College. Hotel options in the area are limited, and if you’re looking for a clean, quiet place to spend the night this is it. Dave and Nancy tend to be at the other end of the house; there is a bedroom, private bathroom and large sitting room (with breakfast amenities). Very simple and has everything you need. While there is no separate entrance, I found Dave and Nancy to be friendly but absolutely respectful of their guests’ privacy. I’ve stayed here twice now when helping my daughter with move-in or move-out, and it was more convenient and congenial than any of the hotel options I’ve tried.

Nancy and Dave's place is cozy, warm, and well-situated. We enjoyed our time at the Airbnb. It's the perfect place to stay if you are visiting Kenyon College.

This is our fourth time staying at Nancy's. She is very hospitable. Her place is comfortable. There are caring amenities like a Keurig, tea, coffee, granola bars and hot cereal. The location is just minutes from Kenyon College.

Delightful hosts in a location that was perfect for us! So close to Kenyon! Thank you Nancy and Dave for once again being phenomenal hosts!

Nancy's place is an incredibly wonderful place to stay. Nancy and her husband are so very kind and gracious, making sure your stay is comfortable and with all amenities. I loved the bed (SO COMFORTABLE), the nice living room area, the sparkling clean bathroom, the snacks, drinks, temperature, proximity to Kenyon College, and the cleanliness of everything! WHAT A FANTASTIC PLACE TO STAY! You will be delighted with this air-bnb!!!

If your daughter/son is going to Kenyon College, you can't do better than staying here. It's cozy, comfy and the hosts couldn't be nicer - after all this is rural Ohio! The only thing I ask is that everyone who stays there put the address into Waze...not enough people have and it has NO idea where this place is. Tip: Click on the link in the Airbnb to maps or you'll be lost. Seriously, it doesn't get better than this for a college visit!

This house is great! Pictures do not do it justice, it was much larger than I thought it would be. Kitchen is very well stocked with tons of pans, pantry items and spices. The bed we stayed in (master bedroom) was super comfortable, pillows and linens were top notch. Definitely will rent this again when visiting Kenyon.

Don, Susan and their property manager are excellent to work with. Great space, very comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen for cooks to make nice family meal while visiting their Kenyon student.

A lovely home with a perfect location if you're visiting Kenyon College! From a well appointed kitchen and great spaces to relax in, both inside and out, to a spacious master bathroom, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay.

Charming house in a wonderful location! We always stay here when we visit Kenyon and it makes the trip!

Don & Susan have a lovely home in the heart of Gambier, steps away from the Kenyon College campus. My husband and I have stayed here many times while visiting our son. It is always so clean and has all the amenities you need while traveling. I highly recommend saying here.

The house is well equipped with great gathering spaces for large families.

Amazing location if you need to be on Gambier. Very comfortable, clean and cozy.

We definitely recommend Kokosing Dream. It is much more than we expected. The photos don't do it justice. It's beautiful, quite and peaceful, clean, and has all the amenities you'll ever need.

Drew's place is comfortable and nice, and there are plenty of dishes and pots and pans in the kitchen for preparing your own food (as well as a full spice rack and a few other essentials). It's really quite close to Kenyon College (half mile walk to the coffee shop down there). It's very quiet at the house, and there are plenty of rooms (most are a good size, too) to spread out. We had cell reception at the house, and there is good wifi as well. There is a full laundry room, and plenty of closet space if you need to hang anything. We had a great stay!

The gaskin ave inn is the perfect place to stay if you are visiting kenyon. Within walking distance to campus and enough space for your whole family. Rooms are clean and comfy and the house has everything!! Just mad I didn’t discover it sooner!!

Drew's place was so clean and we were greeted by deer in the front yard. It was magic!! everything we needed was there and the view was beautiful. We need to see it in the spring!

Drew's place is adorable! Very clean and well stocked! Had everything our crew needed. It will be our "go to" place for any future visits!

Comfortable house, great location, worked well for our purpose.

Drew has a beautiful and well-appointed home 1/2 mile from the heart of Gambier and Kenyon college. The setting and location could not be better! The house is well laid out with four bedrooms and two separate living/tv areas. From the spacious and comfortable upstairs living room you can look out over the wooded backyard, and the kitchen has everything needed for cooking and entertaining. Drew was very responsive whenever we had a question and check in and out were a breeze. We hope to stay here again very soon!

Drew's house is beautiful and so clean. Even with several people, the house had plenty of space. There is a well stocked kitchen making it easy to cook. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Would absolutely stay here again!

A great location for moving-in at Kenyon and a home-like atmosphere for when we weren't busy elsewhere!

The space is bigger than we expected. Big bedrooms with lots of closet space. Nice area to sit and read. Very quiet location but so quick to either of the local colleges. We had no water issues, the shower was hot and strong. Great price, we will stay again.

The house is near Gambier and has a lot of space. Barbara is really a great host an makes you feel comfortable. Own private access to a large apartment with large rooms plus a library where you can sit and relax. It is clean and comfortable and can easy house 5

This was a wonderful place. Clean, welcoming, and cozy. It was a perfect place to go for a night away.

Great getaway

A lovely and spacious suite with plenty of charming touches (the library was a huge hit with my family), and within easy reach of Kenyon College. Great communication, even when we booked at the last possible moment. Very much recommended if you find yourself visiting Gambier.

Barbara was such a great host! The space is just as quaint and cozy as the pictures. There were thoughtful touches everywhere and we appreciated all of them. We will certainly be staying again and are looking forward to it.

This is a well maintained. and comfortable home. Barbara is a welcoming and warm hostess who goes the extra mile to make her guests comfortable and feel cared for. It's unique library and open space made it perfect as a place to relax and entertain. We have enjoyed staying there twice and will definitely return. Perfect location for visiting Kenyon College.

Barbara's place was super comfortable, clean and spacious. We would definitely recommend and try to stay there again!

This home is AMAZING as arethe owners. We spent Thanksgiving there and the kitchen amenities were perfect. From the spotless bathrooms to the most comfortable beds EVER..... every little touch makes this home feel like home! The hosts were so warm and inviting and got back with any questions very timely.

Such as nice home and very gracious hosts. The decorations and attention to detail are top notch. Everything was spotless and the beds were heavenly. This home is a great jumping off point for a weekend in Amish country.

Very nice accommodation next to Kenyon college. small and cozy:) very beautiful

Max was very prompt on communications and professional. Nice clean house and perfect for a Kenyon parent when visiting. Thanks!

Max is a great host with a beautiful house. Newly renovated, well decorated, and super intimate space. Would heavily recommend.

Dear Traveler— Max is a very responsive host. Checking in was a breeze. During our stay, I felt that if I had any problems or questions he would be able to solve them. All the appliances, TV, heat, lighting, etc. worked perfectly. Everything was in good repair. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. There is parking on site. This is the perfect house to rent for a family visit to Kenyon College. At times, it can be next to impossible to find accommodations in Gambier.. (Tip: There is not handicapped access to the beds on the second floor, but Max’s giant couch in the living room could accommodate an NBA player.) We were very comfortable in the two queen-sized beds. My teenager has reported that the TV has a good selection of channels and the WIFI is extremely fast, no matter where in the house you use it. Max has worked hard to modernize the 100 year old farmhouse that you will be renting. Everything is brand new. Even the kitchen is big enough for two cooks. (Another Tip: for the best selection, purchase your groceries in Mt. Vernon - don’t expect there to be restaurants on campus!) Tanya

We enjoyed our stay in this charming little house that is getting a serious facelift. It will be fabulous when complete but had plenty going for it even now: comfy beds, new kitchen, great loungey sofa, and an awesome dart board dominating one wall. The location is perfect for anything Kenyon related.

Great place, a beautiful farm house, exactly as described. Norman and Patricia are super friendly and attentive hosts. The house is fully equipped and everything is in pristine condition. We had a lovely stay! We will be back. Thank you!

Bent Canoe Farm never disappoints, and our stay this January was no exception. Our daughter was recovering from surgery and we needed a place convenient to the Kenyon Campus to ease her back into the semester and Norman and Patricia's place was perfect. As always, the house was lovely, warm and welcoming and the hosts were incredibly generous and attentive throughout our lengthy stay. This is truly the best place to stay in Gambier and we appreciate every opportunity we have to do so!

Bent Canoe remains a favorite place to stay when visiting our daughter at Kenyon College. This fall was no exception, and we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful foliage, tranquility of the river and hospitality of Norman and Pat. The farmhouse continues to provide a space to relax, reflect and enjoy everything Gambier has to offer.

This home and location is so beautiful, I hesitate to write a review for fear it will become unavailable the next time I want to stay. It is a fabulously updated farm house situated on a piece of land fit for a movie scene. Atop a hill, surrounded by trees, next to a river, with a pasture of sheep guarded by a "Mama Llama". The house is complete with every possible need anticipated from the totally equipped kitchen, comfortable bedding, luxury baths, large dining table for conversation, gas fireplace in Living Room, 2 porches to enjoy morning coffee, a firepit supplied with wood and a lovely path to walk near the Kokosing River. The home has a full bathroom and King bedroom down as well as 2 bedrooms up. One with Queen bed and 1 with Twin beds with full bath in between. There is a smart TV for evening viewing and the quaint college town of Gambier is only 1 mile away. Norman was quick with communication and he and wife Pat were truly warm and hospitable.

Just a beautiful setting, very clean and wonderful hosts!

They have thought of EVERYTHING! It is truly like staying in the home of a family member, every detail is perfect. Completely stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Loved the setting most of all. We’re definitely going to have to plan a return trip.

Great location! Beautiful family home with all the amenities. Very spacious and beautiful decorated.

This farmhouse has been so beautifully remodeled that it feels like a warm and comfortable home as well as a new house. The big wraparound porch has a screened in portion for evenings sitting on the glider, watching the sheep graze in the pasture. It is almost too picturesque. The property is very well kept with lots of flower out back and the river as your next store neighbor. All the appliances are new and up to date. The owners have also filled the kitchen with every small appliance you might want to use (crockpot, blender, ect.) The gas grill even had an extra full tank of propane next to it so you don't run out mid cook. If I needed anything I found it clean and ready to use in a drawer or cabinet. The bedrooms had clean crisp white bedding. The bathrooms were spotless and had stacks of white towels that looked as though they had never been used. The bathrooms reminded me of a high end hotel with small toilettes and lots of extras. The upstairs bathroom has a huge walk in tile shower and both bathrooms have exhaust fans to clear the steam. The tile floors in the bathrooms and hardwood floors in the rest of the home make the house easy to keep clean. This home completely exceeded my expectations. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks Norman!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for a weekend family gathering. Check in and check out instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Communication with the host was very quick and helpful. She checked in to make sure everything was fine. The house was spotless. It is nicely furnished and very comfortable. All beds were comfortable for our group. The common areas were spacious, allowing us to spend time interacting as a group. Weather limited our ability to enjoy the outdoor activities, but would be ideal in summer months. We were able to enjoy local establishments. Kelley’s pizza, Bad Apple Pub, Howard Hilton and Stein Brewing in Mt Vernon. Really enjoyed the recently renovated kitchen. We hope to be able to visit again!

If you need a home that can sleep a ton of people, each with private rooms, a large family area (there are two!), and a very well stocked big kitchen, as well as, a deck and a massive dock...this is the place! Peggy was outstanding and answered all my questions immediately! The sunrise over the lake was beautiful! I'd stay here again in a heart beat!

This place is clean and spacious. It’s much nicer and larger than it looks in the pictures. We traveled with our family and were as comfortable as at our own home. I just really was very happy with how clean and comfortable everything was at this apartment.

This was a perfect spot for us. The space was comfy and clean, cute and inviting. Kelly and Brad couldn’t have been more gracious or ready to answer any request. Thank you! We loved it!

The hosts are great super friendly. The place is great with most of the comforts of home ! We will be back for sure!

Kelly is a amazing host!!! Their home is beautiful!!! If you’re looking for a great home in mt. Vernon or Apple Valley area don’t waste you’re time looking any further!!! Thank you Kelly for everything!!!

Everything you need, very clean, great host and treats banana bread and brownies.

Clean and comfortable. Lots of space. Added bonus were the baked treats and the fire pit. I see another visit in the future.

We enjoyed our stay very much and the apartment had everything you could possibly want or need! Kelly is a great host and can answer any questions but not at all intrusive. We loved seeing the deer in the yard and sitting outside in the the sunshine! Very convenient to every place we needed to go. Thank you, Kelly!

Kelly was so accommodating and friendly - great communication! Their place is in a beautiful area, just up the road from a gorgeous lake. The space was cute, comfortable, clean, and the perfect place to unwind after a long day.

Our second stay here in Gambier with Ryan and Sarah. We love the house, love the location. Ryan and Sarah are great hosts and were very attentive to our needs. Would definitely come again.

Nice farm house right next to Kenyan’s campus. Great farm house feel. Perfect for a large group.

Great house, super close to the college.

Comfortable old farm house in the country. Beautiful area.

We stayed at Ryan and Sarah's place for Kenyon College Parents Weekend. The location is ideal- less than 2 miles to Kenyon, an easy 5 minute drive. The home was spacious and comfortable but also felt warm and cozy. We enjoyed cooking a dinner for 10 as the kitchen was well appointed. The refrigerator was stocked for us with the basics and there was plenty of coffee and tea to enjoy all weekend. The owners were very helpful and welcoming to us. You will find comfort and serenity staying at this home!

Kenyon parents and alums will love the rich history and connection of this unique house to the college and anyone else will appreciate the ample space, charm and beautiful hilltop setting. Sarah communicates clearly and quickly, welcoming you into the space with a bottle of wine. Sarah also stocked the refrigerator with breakfast essentials, making our first morning at the house relaxing and enjoyable. If you need to prepare food, as we did for a post game tailgate, the kitchen is exceptional-- well stocked with the basics and beyond. Poke around and you will find a professional stand mixer, a pasta maker, sharp knives galore, and some new appliances mixed in with a beast of an old Viking range. Heavy well used pots and pans lend a definite Julia Child air to the space, and I wish I'd had more time to spend in it. Kokosing Chateau is a welcome addition to an area that is often difficult to find quality accommodations and we look forward to many return visits.

I highly recommend staying at this Gambier/ Kenyon College Airbnb home!! It's a large charming old farm house with a lovely addition. The sunsets are breathtaking since it sits up on a hill and that overlooks acres of rolling land that makes this area so special. The entrance to Kenyon campus is only 3 minutes by car.Bagels, fruit and an assortment of coffee was available for breakfast. I suggest the Village Inn in town for good lunches and dinner in a relaxed atmosphere. Book now! Don't hesitate 😊 You get a bottle of wine as a gift!

This rustic but modernized 1800s farmhouse was the absolute perfect site for our 10-person family reunion over a weekend in September. Because all of the basics of hospitality were flawlessly seen to (bedding, linens, temp control, friendly signage to find things, wifi, cleanliness, etc.), I would just highlight the bonuses that we appreciated in the house: --Beauty of the natural setting (yard, surrounding countryside, view) and the fact that the house had many ways to access it totally or partially (sit outside, sit in a screened in porch, many different versions) --Stuff for kids to do and grownups-playing-along-with-kids to do, like: trampoline, tree swings, awesome hide-and-seek options, huge yards for frisbee, and nature exploring --A loaded kitchen!! that accommodated the cooking needs of a bunch of fairly snobby chefs and also easily allowed us to cook for a large group. E.g., down to things like sharp knives, cast iron cookery, all cooking basics we didn't bring (olive oil, salt, dressings, etc.) and many gas-powered range surfaces. --The house blends the old and the new in a way that allows you to appreciate the history of the house without feeling like you're roughing it at all. --Easy access to short, meaningful excursions: Kokosing Gap Trail, creeking in the Kokosing River, Kenyon Student Farm, and of course Kenyon College and Gambier downtown. Our hosts were really generous with their time ahead of and during our stay in helping us pick the right local activities to suit our interests.

Communication was great! It is adorably decorated and has an amazing view! Well stocked with everything you could need. Highly recommended destination stay!

Amazing! The best Airbnb house we’ve rented so far! Would love to come back!

Wonderful place to stay! Well thought out space and very convenient

We had a great experience! This is a beautiful home in a great location.

What a great place to stay! The location was great, and the house itself was comfortable for our group of guys from our church. We enjoyed the hot tub, and the price was just right for us too. Communication was easy and very helpful as well. Thanks for providing for a great weekend, Alyese!

You can expect a cute, hospitable, clean space with welcoming touches such as coffee table books, local guides, games, and of course, a hot tub! We had a great time and Alyese is great and a quick communicator!

Amazing place and had a lot of fun! The place was true to the photos, very clean and great amenities with ample plates, cups, etc. Hot tub was a nice touch and very fun in the semi-private backyard just off of the back patio deck. Great views from the living room of the lake across the street, ample parking with the garage and long driveway as well. Bedrooms were great, beds comfy, and bathrooms clean and modern. Loved the cool mirror lamp in the downstairs bathroom as well as extra fridge downstairs. Would stay there again if in the area!

Beautiful house in the heart of the nature! We had a great time with our friends there. The decor was beautiful and stylish, the amenities were great. The house was clean and comfortable. Alyese is a great host, she informed us at every step. We will definitely come back!

We loved staying at Michael and Karen’s place! Everything was clean and spectacular. The location was ideal as it was close to town but also secluded enough to enjoy the plentiful wildlife. The house was super spacious with more than enough towels, blankets, pillows ect. The hosts even provided little snacks to enjoy during our stay. Would most certainly stay again!

This was a unique space surrounded by nature but very close to town. A great value and we loved our stay! The house was clean and there were hospitable touches and notes left around to make the stay a breeze.

Great farm house with tons of space and everything our family needed for our trip.

Wow! A group of 10 of us (adults and teens) came for a fencing tournament at Denison University and we could not have had a more perfect experience. The kids were all exclaiming their delight at the size of the house, the interesting little finds in every corner, the fun snacks provided, and had the ability to get outside and burn off some energy even in the cold of winter. Awesome all around!

This was the perfect place for our family to have our Christmas. Great location, plenty of space for all our adult children, and so many nice touches to make it feel like home. We will most likely have another Christmas here.

For the second year in a row, we used this beautiful farmhouse for a group of teenagers who were attending an event at MVNU nearby. They loved the spacious accommodations and fun places to hang out together. We enjoyed cooking together in the home and the full kitchen. I can’t say enough about how fantastic this house is. We can’t wait until we get to stay again!

A lovely farmhouse in Gambier, OH. Very nice touches all around. Loved the view off the porch. Would stay again in a minute.

Coming here, you can expect a perfect experience. Perfect location and Michael and Karen have the house filled with every possible amenity. We all (10) love this place. Great hosts. Thanks.

Immaculate. Excellent set up with plenty to offer a couple or family. Excellent views, comfortable place!

Maggie is a very responsive host! The house was extremely clean and well put together. It comfortably slept 10. The house is very close to the lake, the lake was right across the street. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in a place to stay in the Mt. Vernon area!

Beautiful, clean and cozy home. Great location and wonderful view. Perfect for the girls weekend!! 😍😍😍

Very clean kitchen had everything we needed. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets over the lake very comfortable atmosphere and furnishings.

We stayed at Maggie's home while moving our son into Kenyon College and we will be back! At such an emotional and stressful time, it was lovely to not have any additional stress about where we stayed. Maggie's house is exceptionally clean, peaceful, and comfortable. The basement was perfect for our sons to spend a last few quality moments together playing foosball and watching movies on Netflix. Maggie's house is also conveniently located to the College as well as Mount Vernon, about 10 minutes to each.

Maggie & Tom were the best hosts. They answered all our questions prior to arriving. The home was clean & had everything we needed for a great weekend & felt like home. They had more than enough bedding & pillows. The kitchen was fully stocked with nonstick cookware & serving items. Washer & dryer, cooler on wheels & more. Beautiful deck with grill & large yard with swing set. They had a book with things to do, local restaurants & where things were. It helped immensely.

This was the perfect place for a weekend gathering with extended family. There was plenty of space for all of us to sleep and gather. The kitchen was neatly organized with everything we needed to cook our meals, and the whole place was spotless when we arrived. The playset in the backyard was a great added bonus and kept all of the kids entertained. Would absolutely stay here again!

Maggie’s place was a great place to stay with out-of-town family members for a college graduation.

Great host, such a beautiful house and location. Can't wait to visit again.

I couldn’t give any higher recommendations for this place. Lake Home Inn is a stunning home with beautiful views of the lake. Even with some chilly weather at first, we still couldn’t stay away from enjoying our coffee by the lake. Lake Home Inn has all the special touches to make you feel at home. Alyese was a fantastic host who definitely goes the extra mile to make your stay comfortable and carefree!

Very clean, great location, and Barbara was quick in her replies to my questions. You will not be disappointed!

Barbara’s house is in a wonderful location, close to downtown Mount Vernon and Kenyon College. She was communicative and available throughout our stay if we ran into any issues (which we did not, but it was good to know she was available!) I will definitely look into booking with Barbara again on my next visit to Mount Vernon!

Barbara was an AMAZING host. She provided information for check in well in advance. She left the lights on for us because we arrived late our first night. The instructions were clearly communicated. And she made herself accessible while we were there if needed. The house was ready for us. It was clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at her place! I felt at home the minute we walked in. I highly recommend this home in the quaint town of Mount Vernon.

This weekend was the 3rd time I have stayed at Barbara's. My family enjoys staying there. We plan on staying there any time we go to Mt. Vernon. I really enjoy that we have a history and a rapport with Barbara.

Great house with plenty of space. Very comfortable, super clean, had everything we needed and more! Would stay here again for sure.

Worth the price. Clean and easy and fully supplied and quiet.

Our stay in this Airbnb could not have gone smoother. From check-in to check-out, everything was top notch. The house was very clean and smelled nice; the kitchen was well stocked with appliances, pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc.; the bathrooms were well stocked, and the bedrooms were comfortable and cozy. We will stay here again should the need arise. Barbara is a gracious hostess!

We enjoyed our time at Barbara’s place. The house was spotless, more than comfortable, and the perfect location if you are wanting to spend time at MVNU. Barbara, as a host, was warm, generous, and made sure our stay was all we needed it to be in the short time we were there. Highly recommended!

Such a unique, charming stay! Vicki makes it very easy and convenient for you, and is very warm and welcoming. Would definitely come back!

Everything about this apartment is lovely—the furnishings are welcoming and cozy yet artistic and chic. The beds are made up with beautiful and comfortable linens providing a peaceful night’s sleep. I love the special treats the hosts leave out like delicious bread, scones, wine, coffee and teas in a well-stocked kitchenette. The location of this apartment is wonderful—steps from some top-notch restaurants and charming shops. The communication is fast and precise given with the most gracious hospitality. I have stayed with these hosts twice and will certainly be back! Thank you so much for the perfect stay!

This place is as advertised. A great place to stay if you are in the area. Right in the center of downtown and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Easy to get to Kenyon College. Vicki is an artist and when you are in this apartment you feel transported. All of the right touches to not only make you forget you are in Ohio but to transport you to that little French apartment you may have dreamed of. We have stayed here twice! This place is perfectly clean. The beds are very comfortable. My wife uses a noisemaker (ocean waves) to to sleep and this helps drown out street noise from downtown if you are a light sleeper. I didn't need anything. Thank you Vicki. We have already booked at least twice more over the next several months.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Vicki and Robert’s cute, apartment. It was a great experience.

Communication was great, and the accommodations were excellent!

The Galerie Suite reminded me of a petite quaint apartment in Paris- sweet little kitchen and dining/sitting room. Comfortable bedrooms with good light and a very nice courtyard. Within easy walking distance of the up and coming Mt. Vernon downtown main street shops and restaurants. A gem!

Vicki’s place was amazing! Charming, convenient to Kenyan, unique and accessible. The goodies were wonderful and very much appreciated. We ran into a glitch with our travel plans and she was more than helpful, gave us useful phone numbers and essentially solved the problem for us. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, clean perfect place. I would have loved ro stat longer, next time!

The house was fantastically classy and comfy. It had everything we could possibly want, from soft sheets and towels to a well-stocked coffee and tea selection.

Nice accommodations. Very clean. Easy communication. Right by campus. Would stay again.

This was our second stay here, and it was just as great as the first. Super clean, comfortable, perfect location for our needs, and great communication with host.

We've stayed at Mary's home several times during trips to Kenyon College. Always a great experience and an ideal location. Just a five minute walk to Middle Path. Thanks Mary

The home is absolutely spotless, and walking distance to the Kenyon College campus. The host/manager Mary even left us with bottled water and homemade raspberry bars!

Mary's place is a perfect stay over in Kenyon, located on a quite street the home is super clean and Mary is always available if you have any questions. I and my guests have stayed here the last 3 years and have been very happy with the house.

This place is WONDERFUL. it is sparkling clean, quiet, the beds were very comfortable, it is in a great quiet neighbor, and the amenities will not disappoint. I would highly recommend Mary as your host.

This is a clean space that is well stocked with all the essentials you really need. The setting was also quiet and relaxing, which is exactly what my family needed. The wifi performed well, and they had unexpectedly installed a new smart TV a couple days prior to our stay. My family really enjoyed our time here. Mary was also very friendly upon arrival giving us a quick tour and leaving rice crispy treats for us. I'd definitely consider this location again in the future and f available.
