Great place for a family gathering. Lots of space with a beautiful view. Plenty of parking with a playground for the kids. Plan on renting again in the future. Thanks so much!

Clean great shelter house with excellent view of Brookville Lake. Flush restrooms near by along with ample parking for at least 50 cars. Our car club has used this site for our annual Rod Run for the past few years. Hilltoppers Car Club, Cincinnati, Ohio

The location is beautiful. We chose this spot specifically for our wedding because it overlooks the lake and has a beautiful view.
