I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here at this clean, comfortable and pretty cabin! The grounds are wonderful and the hostess could not have been more kind, genuine or friendly. It was easy to find, communication was perfect, and the location is ideal. Lighting is great and furniture all comfy. My dog fell in love with your bunny! I hope to return one day!

Nice little getaway. Not to far from hiking and a few attractions. If you're not a dog lover I will say not the place for you. We had a great time and will be renting again.

We had such a unique experience at our rustic cabin. We were greeted by a horse, dogs, chickens, and more! Michelle, the owner went out of her way to make sure that all of our needs were met. I would recommend this cabin to anyone who is looking to get in touch with nature but does not want to go tent camping.

Great Getaway

Great place to go and unwind after a long year of being on the front lines of COVID. The owners Michelle and Bob are very communicative and provided excellent directions and hospitality. The property is full of friendly animals and hiking trails for miles. My dog fit right in with the family of animals already there. Bring apples and carrots to feed the horses and give their Beagle Bailey a big hug. Can't say enough about the wonderful the week was. Highly Recommend! Thank you MIchelle

Michelle was an excellent host. She was very friendly and talked to us each day we were there. Just so you know, this is a cabin. There is no running water or toilet. There is a shower house and port a john. Both were very clean and we really enjoyed the cabin itself. There is a nice porch, a covered porch and plenty of room for two adults and two kids (it was just us when we stayed. There is a ton of open space to hike and wander, like 100 acres worth. Pro tip- you need to bring your own bath towels as well. We're already planning on staying there next year.

Beautiful Getaway

The owners are super friendly, and the cabin was clean as well as cute and cozy. The surrounding trees and vegetation are gorgeous and I love that I was able to take the dog. It was literally her first time getting to run free. The owners also have dogs that are all so friendly and fun to play with. The ONLY problem we had was with an attacking rooster. We eventually learned the trick was to call for the owners dogs to surround you, whenever we stepped outside the cabin. The dogs chased off the rooster. Looking back, that was comical, but it worked. We certainly had a ball there, other than that issue. My family's favorite thing though was roasting hotdogs and marshmallows around the fire pit, and just chatting with the owners. The cabin was about a 25 minute ride to do zip lining, and not far from a Hocking Hills train ride, which were both fun activities for my kids. Overall, this was such an awesome vacation, filled with memories we'll always treasure.

It was a small, quiet, clean cabin. It was better than I saw in the picture. There were horses, chickens, and rabbits, so we could had more fun time. We made good memories with our family.

Slice of Appalachia

Great stay. The cabin was even nicer than the photos, Amish-made with 2 sets of twin-over-full bunk beds. The farm animals, campfire ring, and other kids (owner's grandkids who were visiting) were highlights for my children. We booked this as an upgraded alternative to camping, and are glad we did. My dog was too timid to socialize with the resident dogs (due to her own disposition, not theirs), but the owner was very receptive to coordinating with me to make that all work smoothly. If you don't mind using the shower house and porta-john, and frequent animal encounters (lots of dogs! among other things), then absolutely expect a lovely and memorable stay.
