About this property
Hot Tub, Quiet, Relaxing , Fishing, Wi Fi, A.C., Fire Pit, Windy 9, Hot Tub
A.C. and Fire Pit, Hot Tub. Close to Athens Ohio. You’ll love my place because of the views, the peace, the fishing, the relaxation. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids). My place is also part of the Windy 9 for the Motorcycle enthusiasts or those who just want to enjoy some scenic rides through the countryside.
The downstairs bedroom has a queen size bed and there are three additional beds in the loft upstairs. This is a cozy little place to relax and enjoy the peace and relaxation.
Please note this is a cabin in the country. We try very hard to keep everything fresh. clean and comfortable. You will experience a country setting which includes often (not promised) seeing wildlife. We also have other country aspects. This is a small cabin in the country and bugs do get into the cabin at times. If this is an issue for you please ask about them before booking. We work very hard to minimize this issue but at certain times of the year they can be a nuisance. If you are looking for a pristine place to go this may not be the option for you. If you are looking for a super relaxing cabin and place to escape we feel this is an excellent option. We would love to have you as guests but want to make sure you are comfortable. Please don't hesitate to ask questions. We will answer as honest and accurate as possible. We want you to enjoy the trip you are planning and have a wonderful time whether it is with open season or elsewhere.
This is a no frills cabin (except for the hot tub :) as reflected in the price. This means you will need to bring things like hand soap, all personal items, towels for the hot tub...etc. One bath towel and wash cloth is provided for each guest. If you want extra please bring some with you.
Lake Dow is a short 15 minute drive. Lake has kayaks, paddleboat, Pontoon boats, a beach, picnic area, fishing and more to enjoy.

Everything was just as advertised. Been here before and will be back again. My sons and grandsons had a great time and are looking forward to next time already. Maybe I will be able to get the girls to come sometime also, although they will probably leave us guys at home. lol. Thanks for a good time!

It was great to get to talk to you for a few minutes and thanks for the kind review and choosing Open Season again. We look forward to having you back again. Mark
Property was exactly as described. We had one minor hiccup late on the first night but communication with Mark was great, and he remedied the issue quickly. Five stars when your expectations meet the price and value of this property.

Thank you for choosing Open Season and thank you for being wonderful guests. We hope you will return again.
We loved the property! The cabin was wonderful! The trip to the cabin was a little rough with a 2 wheel drive vehicle but just because it had rain a lot prior! Once there we enjoyed our stay more than anything! We relaxed which is just what we needed! We loved the hot tub! The view off the back deck was breathtaking! The whole property was gorgeous!! The booking site never sent our code to get in but I called Mark & he was so helpful & courteous! We enjoyed the decor & the pictures throughout the cabin! This was a birthday gift to my husband & was exactly what we needed! Peace quiet & relaxation!

Thank you so much for your kind review. One of the most rewarding aspects of being a host is sharing what we love so much with others. We are really glad you enjoyed it and hope you will come back. Thank you for taking great care of the property. You are alway welcome at Open Season.
Mark
The host was welcoming and quickly answered any questions we had. The amenities were as described, minimal but adequate. Our advice to future guests is IF you think you might need it, bring it (including TP) Overall a good place to spend a quiet weekend away.

Thank you for the review. In the information I send I do specify what is included. We have set the price accordingly. Thank you again for choosing Open Season
Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Very accurate description about the bugs- lots of the Asian lady beetles, but there was a vacuum and broom to keep up with them. Mark was very helpful with directions- there was flooding in surrounding areas, and he was patient while giving me good directions. Very responsive to messages.

Thank you for the kind review a for choosing Open Season. We hope you can come again sometime soon. Mark & Carol
I was looking for a last minute escape and wandered upon this gem, in the middle of nowhere. I knew there was a massive storm coming but had time to get away and time to wait out getting back to reality. I extended my stay by 3 nights…as the weather rolled in and temps dropped, I was in communication with the host Mark, and he was wonderful in letting me stay 2 days longer, then another. Wonderful people, cozy cabin, peaceful surroundings:) I had an absolutely amazing time in complete solitude

Thank you for your kind review and thank you for your helpful feedback.
Mark is always welcoming. We had a hiccup with the hot tub and Mark had someone there with in hours and the hot tub worked better than I remember. We have been here 3 previous times and just loved the relaxation of being away from the city

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
It was inexpensive and I guess you get what you pay for. Couldnt get into the driveway with amount of snow with no shovel, room upstairs was nothing like pictures with unmade bed and dirty with lots of bugs, no welcoming book with instructions for TV, lack of toilet paper and paper towels (we had to run into to town to pick up). Seems like "hey thanks for the payment... you are on your own". Nothing major but have had better experiences.

I am sorry you were disappointed in the cabin. If you would have contacted me I would have been glad to assist you with any issues. I hope you find accommodations that fit your need in the future.
Beautiful area that is away from town. I would recommend taking a screenshot of the key code for the door way before you get there as cell service was pretty non-existent (which was perfect for the weekend)

Thank your the kind review. We hope you can come back again sometime and stay at Open Season. Mark
We loved our stay here! Quiet, and laid back, had everything we needed. Loved walking down to the pond to catch some fish in the peace and quiet, and sitting in the hot tub during the evening unwinding for the day. We will definitely be back for another stay in the future.
Mark, the host was very nice. Anytime I had a question, he always answered me within 24 hrs. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay. This cabin is located in the middle of nowhere. Very peaceful and quiet. The view was beautiful off of the back deck. It overlooked the pond and woods. I would definitely recommend this cabin if you want to get away and relax. We will be back.
