About this property
Rusty’s Loft w/pond views! 70 plus positive reviews!
Rusty's Loft is a second story chalet style one room apartment, with 360 degree views of Farm fields, pond 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 new couch folds out 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. Behind the loft is a campsite with two rockers and a double person swing with a view of the pond. A fire ring and firewood is provided for your campsite enjoyment. Rusty, the steer and Lexi and Little Bits, the mini horses are fun to watch and meet. The barn across the road is available to explore and also see our barn kitty, Brindle, and the 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. 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 use an ozone generator after the loft is thoroughly cleaned to purify and sanitize the space leaving a fresh, clean space for each guest. Pets are welcome with an additional fee. We have only rented for a couple of years and everything in the space is nearly new. We have a new hearth with simulated fire. A faux sheepskin rug makes the space comfy and warm. Fostoria is a short 6 miles away with dining and shopping including a full Kroger with liquor.

Great place to stay, excellent hosts and seeing the animals on the farm was so fun! Also loved that it was pet freindly and we were able to bring our dogs! We will definitely book again for another stay!
Loved our stay! Jay and Heather were the perfect hosts. Loved our golf cart tour of the property and the fresh kale, spinach, and chard from the garden was delicious. Very pet friendly stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet beauty of the property and our hosts' golf cart tour of the trails was a bonus! The loft itself was a really nice space. All in all, beautiful property, friendly hosts, and a perfect quiet/serene getaway. Exactly what we were looking for! Thanks!
Extremely clean loft, very quiet area and perfect for star gazing. Kitchen was probably the best stocked I've ever stayed in and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy and decor was lovely. Our host gave us a nice tour of the property, and seeing Rusty and the trails were nice and relaxing. Planning to come back in the winter and enjoy the fireplace!
We love everything about Rusty's! Great tour of property, pond, camping sites, river, veggies, clean accommodations, very friendly owners and animals. We will be back.
My husband and I stayed here with our dog for a weekend. We were visiting our daughter and son in law who live close by. It was very clean and homey. Perfect for what we were looking for. We would stay again. The sunrise right out our window was beautiful this morning.
We had another excellent stay at Rusty's Loft as we needed a place to recharge and enjoy what feels like our own private pond for beautiful and peaceful viewing as well as kayaking! The 2nd story loft with wrap around porch makes for tranquility to sit and watch the moonlight over the pond, or just reading. The loft provides all the accommodations one could ask for, and Jay and Heather made our stay feel warm and welcoming. We enjoy this tastefully decorated loft, the peaceful vibe, walking trails and the animals so much! Highly recommend this place for a place to relax and enjoy beautiful surroundings!
We had such a nice time at Rusty's Loft. Having a pond to fish and kayak in right at your disposal was amazing! We were fortunate to have stayed when there was a full moon too. The loft is tastefully decorated with rustic industrial chic, comfortable and cozy decor. Jay and Heather made us feel so welcomed and could not have been better hosts! We are definitely going again to this beautiful, peaceful oasis! Highly recommend!
Jay and Heather were amazing and so was this property! Glamping at its best! B&B meets camping in rual Ohio! Stores, restaurants, and conveniences all super close. The experience exceeded our expectations! We'll be back!
A place full of peace and joy. J & Heather shared this little slice of heaven with us & we greatly appreciated it. We were able to buy some of their eggs and fresh grown produce for an amazing breakfast. We'll definitely be stopping by the next time we're in the area. We highly recommend this place. Our furry companions loved it as well.
this is a beautiful property!! the animals, trails, and plants make this a unique stay. the hosts are very accommodating, welcoming, and informative. perfect for the dog, too! wish we could have stayed longer— we will definitely book again
