About this property

Rusty’s Loft in NW Ohio. Cozy chalet with hearth.

Rusty's Loft is a second story chalet style one room apartment, with 360 degree views of Farm fields and woods. We kept the walls to a minimum to preserve the views. There is a large wrap around deck with views of the pond. The 900 sf space includes a full bath and full kitchen with all appliances and accessories. The full bathroom is fully furnished with lots of towels and most bathroom necessities including soap, shampoo, conditioner, tissues and tp. The space includes a unique queen size bed made of Texas cypress. The couch folds out with a new memory foam mattress and there is a queen air mattress for the third bed. Linens are included. This is just one room, so there is little privacy, but it is very cozy. A nice sitting area allows for games or conversation and the bar has four swivel bar stools for dining. Gliders are available for viewing the animals grazing across the road. Rusty, the steer, and Lexi and Buckeye, the mini horses are fun to watch and meet. The barn across the road is available to explore and also see our six toed cat and the turkey and chickens. The creek on the property runs 1200 feet to the south branch of the Portage river. Hiking trails cover the property and the pond is available to kayak, or swim. There's also a paddle boat for use on the pond. Sunsets are amazing here and the limited light makes star gazing possible. Quiet and remote, Rusty's Loft is the place you've been looking for to unwind and de-stress.
We are both vaxed and boosted. Additionally, we use an ozone generator after the loft is thoroughly cleaned to purify and sanitize the space leaving a fresh clean space for each guest.
We have only rented for a year and everything in the space is nearly new. We have a new hearth with simulated fire and real heat. A faux sheepskin rug makes the space comfy and warm.

The best VRBO experience ever
We stayed at Rusty's retreat for the solar eclipse. Our Hosts, Jay and Heather were absolutely amazing. They are like folks you meet once in a lifetime, but never forget. Their property is so beautiful. It was great for our teens - they could swim in the lake, fish, catch frogs, play cornhole... they were very entertained. We went with another family and Jay and Heather were very accommodating so that we could all be in the same area. We enjoyed meeting people around the property and the animals that live there. The property is very clean, the lodgings way exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Rusty's retreat to anyone and would love to go back again. The property was very busy with folks coming in to see the eclipse and our hosts made everyone feel at home. They set up games, music, campfires, and made it fun for everyone. What a perfect place and perfect environment to share this special event. It was amazing!

Lovely Stay
This place was so peaceful and beautiful! Jay was very kind and gave us a tour in the golf cart. The animals were adorable. The loft was just lovely and I wished we were able to stay longer. Had a beautiful wrap around "balcony" with plenty of space to sit and enjoy the view. There was also a fire pit with chairs and a swing out back. The pond was very pretty as well. There is a brewery/winery in Fostoria (I think it is the Honey Bee or something like that) that is small but has some very tasty food! The Cuban Sandwich and the pretzel with beer cheese was very YUMMY :) Don't hesitate to book here if you want some peace and quiet away from the city life and traffic. Thanks, Amy

Wonderful place!!
We loved the property! There was plenty of space for our family and 2 Corgis. We enjoyed the paddle boat on the pond. We bought their fresh eggs and honey to bring home with us. The hosts were great!! We'll definitely be back!! Thank you.

I’m just looking to share this special place with others and make friends along the way. I love sharing my knowledge of farming and Ohio with guests.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique in many ways. The loft was designed to reflect that uniqueness. With the interesting furnishings and wonderful views, Rusty’s Loft is like no where else. The property includes a pond, creek and river as well as the barn and animals. Rusty the steer and the mini horses, Lexi and Buckeye are fun to pet and soothing to watch graze. The turkey, chickens, ducks and guinea are happy to entertain. A polydactyl cat, Poly, has six toes on each paw. Great for pics. We also have three very friendly dogs to top off our menagerie. Trails crisscross the property and kayaking on the river is possible conditions permitting and on the pond. There’s a paddleboat for use on the pond and the fishing is excellent in the pond as it is nearly 80 years old and many species thrive. RC boats and toys are another option. Bring your own or we have some for use.

What makes this property unique

The relaxing feeling you will experience as a result of the quiet, serene setting and peaceful way the animals live here cannot be described. Only after being here will you understand this feeling. Tranquil and special are the best description of Rusty’s.
