I booked this trip as a Valentine's getaway and had a wonderful time…read more The history and biographical significance of this inn is what drew me to want to stay here. It is the personal home of Dave Longaberger from the Longaberger basket company. My BF's mom was a star seller of these baskets once upon a time so he is very familiar! I booked the fanciest room--The Dresden Suite! High ceilinged, king sized 4-poster bed, fireplace, sitting and desk area, small hallway with back access and a big jetted tub in the middle of the room. Features are great but the building, rooms, carpeting, furniture are quite old and worn. I think due to the age of the building and the lack of staff, the entire place did not feel very clean. Our room was tidy when we checked in but upon closer inspection, corners were dusty, papers and brochures were water stained, carpet was stained in places and peeling. This might have been an oversight but the bathroom didn't have shampoo or body wash stocked. There was liquid hand soap but my BF swears it was watered down and not quite effective. During our 1-night stay here, we only saw one person the whole time working and it was also the owner, Joy. She embodies her name as she warmly pads around suggesting we look around and offered to show us 2 additional rooms, which was fun. We didn't opt for the 4-course dinner that she cooks personally from scratch. It was $100 or something and includes a bottle of wine which would've been wasted since neither of us drink. We went out for dinner but upon getting back to the inn, Joy prepared a dessert for us--so cute! We got a small chocolate lava cake with a scoop of ice cream and a strawberry each! The room was stifling and we were unable to adjust the temperature too much. It was freezing outside yet we had to have the A/C on because of how hot it was in the room. We borrowed 2 of their many DVDs and put it on the background while we intensely played a board game. The next morning, Joy made us a delicious light breakfast. We headed out to the nearby abandoned Longaberger retail ghost town. Oh, and Joy's dog Chewbacca is adorable. She could definitely use a bath and grooming session but she was so friendly!

I originally booked Secluded Lake Lodge to use over a weekend as a writer's retreat with a small…read moregroup of friends. As we got closer to the trip, and more friends heard about the retreat, a larger group asked to join. The owner was super responsive when I asked to increase the size for the booking and we all ended up having an incredible time. It's the perfect getaway for a summer weekend or any time for that matter. I just wish it was a little closer to Columbus. A few friends wanted to camp down by the lake and the home fit everyone else perfectly with room to spare. The property is amazing. The home is right off the road, but the lake is down a long path, out in the middle of nowhere. We spent the days swimming, grilling out, playing lawn games and eventually hanging out by a fire thanks to the wood that the property manager had left for us down by the lake. There's certain places your mind just functions at 100%. For me, this was one of them. I wrote the entire outline for a movie and began part of the screenplay. Not long after I stayed, my writing partner and I sold the script and it ended up being produced up in Canada. Secluded Lake Lodge was actually a big part of that whole experience -- so thank you again! Can't wait to come back sometime. I'm actually going to reach out to my friends and see if we can find a few days this summer to make it back out.

I rented this house to host my birthday part at, I had looked at it in person beforehand and liked…read moreit because it was the perfect place between nice and shitty where i would like the stay but didn't have to worry too much about having a bunch of drunk people where they could do too much damage. My main complaint was the behavior of the property manager. The rental is specifically secluded, from the title of the house to the words spoken by the owner you would be alone completely, even so that the key is left under the mat when coming and going to avoid interaction with anyone. - and that's not what we got. When we were grilling outside in the front at like 8pm a car drove past the house over and over and over again scaring the crap out of my guests and making me uncomfortable too. Eventually the payroll of the house stopped and we tucked in. Later in the morning around 8 the property manager stopped in front of the barn across the street and walked over and talked to one of my friends. Asking her with a mean demeanor who she was and why we were grilling and what we were doing, making her justify our actions at fucking 8 in the morning after a night of drinking. Not only that but he didn't even talk to me, he talked to my friend who in no way deserved what felt like an 8 am bunk check. He was telling her that he had had bad people rent the house as of late and they did things like burn cans and things?? Even if he did have tenants behave in a way that made it more difficult for him to clean up after them the rules of the house say to drink responsibly and not let pets on the bed.. nothing else. We did not deserve to be bombarded, disrespectfully and not even directly due to the behavior or other renters. The beds were also the worst I've ever encountered, grass on the way back to the lake was unkempt and made walking a nightmare, the house smelled like old people, and the decorations were also very old. The owner also never returned my email about my complaint. All in all had the encounter with the property manager not happened i would have been pleased because i had already seen the house but it ruined my view of the stay and i would never go back.

Think glamping but not quite as fancy. This is a resort ground across the street from lake Seneca…read more You can purchase a lot, place a camper on it, and create awesome memories around the fire. My mother in law's family has owned a lot here since 1975. My husband has spent all of his childhood summers here and it is by far his favorite vacation spot. Golf carts are the main mode of transportation in this hillbilly vacay so make sure you have one to tore yourself around. There is a pool area, children's playground, basketball courts, public bathrooms with showers, and facilities to wash laundry. The clubhouse near the pool has bingo and other activities throughout the year like Christmas in July. The campgrounds are well kept with green grass and trees in bounty. Keep an eye out for the plentiful amount of wildlife in the grounds. Squirrels, deer, bunnies, ground hogs, ground moles and now kittens are spotted everywhere. 9 summers I have accompanied my husband to lake Seneca Resorts and the last two my son has came along. I am grateful he will get the childhood experience my Hubbie had here

But probably the most important is the camp management. And this is where NRC really shines. The daughter/father team that recently purchased the campground have made it an absolute pleasure to stay here. They work tirelessly to improve the campground and are committed to providing a safe, fun, family friendly camping experience. The campground is conveniently located just east of Zanesville, Ohio - just minutes off of I70. It is just off the "National Road", minutes from Zanesville, "Pottery Capital of the World," and the Wilds animal adventure park. Columbus, home of The Ohio State Buckeyes is just an hour away. The campground features rolling hills, two stocked ponds and plenty of shade trees in a true park-like setting. Sites accommodate all types of camping from motor coach to tent. There are also several cabins of various sizes available. Amenities include: camp store, coin laundry, play grounds, corn hole, volleyball court, fishing ponds, sun deck, dump stations and recreation room. The owners also have special events on a regular basis, such as live bands, DJs, and stand up comedians. The park gets full on weekends, but is pretty quiet during the week. Overall it has a very quiet, safe, comfortable, family friendly vibe. Sites are available by day, week or month and seasonal sites are also available (the park does close for the winter season.) There is no cable or park wide WiFi, but free WiFi is available at the camp office/store. We had decent Verizon and Sprint mobile coverage. Local NBC is available if you have an HD antenna. We stayed for 2 months and were very sad when it was time for us to move on. We would definitely stay again if in the area, and highly recommend you check it out!
