Restful Lake
What the Business Does
Restful Lake is a private residential community located in Newbury Township, Ohio, built around a 15-acre spring-fed glacial lake. The community dates from the 1920s and serves about 150 residents living in approximately 95 homes.
Case Study
Restful Lake was originally established in the 1920s as a rustic lakeside resort along an old interurban railroad line, offering cottages and campsites for city residents. Over time, the site evolved into a full-time residential community comprising around 95 homes and approximately 150 people. The lake itself is described on the site as “15 acre, spring fed, glacial” and the setting is characterised as picturesque, with residents enjoying fishing, swimming, camp-outs and use of a community clubhouse. The community is governed by a board of trustees which oversees funds raised through annual dues and hosts multiple fund-raisers and social community events to foster connection among residents. Examples of social activities include the annual Clam or Steak Bake and a Family Halloween Fest & Hayride, both clearly promoted on the website. The site emphasises affordability and private membership within Newbury Township, aiming to offer an amenity-rich community experience in a natural lakeside setting.
