Lovely
Great spot for a quick overnight. Note that it’s not secluded, but totally okay because of the lovely surroundings and sweet animals.
We live in Ohio but when we are in the area we always make sure to book and stay here. We love the reset we get. Host are friendly. We bring oir kids and they always have a blast playing in the mancave or running around on the trails with the dogs! We will be back again next year for sure!!

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.
It was perfect! The hosts where amazing! We will go back❣️

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.
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.
The owners were amazing and so nice. The cabin was extremely clean and well decorated. The animals were fun to hang out with next to the camp fire. The porta john Wes extremely clean as was the bath house. I highly recommend staying here.l and we will definitely be back
Thanks for a great weekend.

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
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.
Reasonable priced, just 30 min to main attractions, nice and quiet host especially nice let us pet the horses and dogs all around convenient and comfortable

I would definitely tell people to stay here! Michelle came out and greeted us and she was super nice and helpful! I wish we had more time there so, we could of hiked! Beautiful cabins and area! Will go back ! Thanks
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.
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.

Had a great weekend with my daughter and her oldest daughter. Original plan was to go camping, but decided to play it safe and get a Cabin.
We were glad we did – nice cabin that looked rustic but was clean and well kept and appointed. The best part were the grounds along with the animals that my granddaughter loved. Evenings were spent at the fire pit with lots of firewood, drinks and laughter with some of the other guest that we invited down from their cabin. Michelle and her husband were great host and a wealth of information about things to see and where to eat in the area. We were there to hike the Hocking Hills, which is a magnificent place - - you can’t believe you’re still in Ohio. My granddaughter loved Michelle as she took her around to see the animals – horses, chickens, dogs and puppies etc. on their homestead, that you’re welcome to visit with if you choose.
We’re already making plans to go again in the fall.
This property is close to OU but secluded and quiet! Right up the street from Gigi’s country kitchen, which is one of our favorite breakfast spots. If you don’t mind having to use a port-o-potty and a shower house - which we don’t! - you just can’t beat this property! Quaint, clean cabin in beautiful setting! Bob and Michelle were perfect hosts! Would definitely stay here again!
