Beautiful!

Quick Hikes within a mile of the home, we have Shoemaker Nature Preserve. Five miles from our home is Chalet Nivale, Arc of Appalachia--shaded hollows, vertical cliffs, rare plants, carved out by two of Ohio's cleanest streams. Both are easier excellent hikes. Fort Hill is a hike through a mature forest to the top of the ridge where a 2000 yr-old mystery of the Hopewell culture awaits. Hike more intense Buzzard's Roost, or check out the Arc of Appalachia's site for more challenging hikes. Or simply stay at the cozy cabin; you're likely to see deer and wild turkeys! Come out and Relax!!!
Indoor gas fireplace (seasonal--open from November-April)

We’ve been to various rentals all over the country and world and has to be the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. The property is beautiful even in the rain sitting on the porch to watch the storm was relaxing. The rental exceeds expectation on literal turn key as most places usually we have to either clean or fit our need but this rental literally felt like it was perfect for anybody’s needs go relax!!

This little private cabin was immaculate. We were supplied everything we could wish for, and more, to make our stay comfortable, relaxing and stress free. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and all the essential. It has a wonderful fire pit with plenty of chairs. It is very near the State Forest with great hiking. You can sit for hours on the front porch and take in the wildlife, or fish in the stocked pond. If I could give it 20 stars I would. We hope to visit again t soon!! To the hosts thank you for sharing your beautiful retreat with us!

Perfect for the Holiday Weekend!

Originally from Peebles, so this cabin tucked away in the woods was PERFECT for our return for the holidays. The cabin had everything you need and more (ie toiletries). The gas fireplace was a nice touch and was much needed for the snowy weekend in Southern Ohio.

This place is perfect if you’re wanting peace & quiet away from the hustle & bustle. We loved sitting on the porch listening to the storms come in and fishing at the pond catching fish after fish. We played games on the porch and in the lawn and grilled dinner each night. It was like camping with a really nice place to sleep & shower in. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get away from people. It was the perfect get-away for our family!

Peaceful family vacation

Our family had a wonderful vacation at the red barn !! It had everything we needed and more . Relaxing evenings on the porch and by the firepit . Fishing in the pond was perfect for the kids they caught lots of bluegill. We made delicious dinners on the grill and smores by the fire . The privacy/secluded area was perfect for our family to get some quality time together . Even our youngest had a blast playing on her playpin on the front porch . The weather was perfect and the hosts were wonderful 😊 would definitely return & recommend to others .

About the host

Hosted by Deb & Lee Giles

Host profile image
We wanted to offer people the experience of a unique, relaxing retreat in the country, so we built this place in one of the most beautiful places in Ohio! Located in Adams County, at the base of Tener Mountain! We wanted something different, so my husband came up with the idea to build "The Red Barn!" Amish-built in 2015.

Why they chose this property

We love to travel, and so we wanted to offer a unique experience to vacationers, and came up with the idea of a barn vacation rental. Looks like a barn on the outside, but has brand-new full amenities on the inside!! You don't have to be "born in a barn" to vacation in one!

What makes this property unique

Situated in a private setting in the forest, overlooking a pond - what more could you ask for??? Sit back and relax on the covered front porch; enjoy cozy evenings by the gas fireplace in the living room (seasonal: November - April). Build a campfire, and fish in your own acreage--catfish, bass and bluegill are ready. Play corn hole or go for a hike in beautiful Brush Creek Forest. Stargaze by the firepit. It's your private retreat! Or there's plenty to go and do if you so desire. Enjoy!!
