Relax with nature close to Historic Marietta and the Wayne National Forest.
Get away from the hustle bustle and relax with nature. Farm house is nestled near the Wayne National Forest and historic Marietta, Ohio. Also just 1 mile from Grizer Castle. This old farmhouse has been opened up and has a spacious first floor with two bedrooms on the second level. Der Bauernhof is the name of this quaint old farm house. Take a hike or sit on the deck and watch the deer, turkeys and numerous birds. We have created a pond and stocked it with many varieties of fish. If you’re interested in fishing, let me know and we’ll be able to assist you. Our newest addition are two Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Thor & Loki.

This was the perfect place for our mother/daughters trip. It was really clean and had all the amenities we needed. The property is absolutely beautiful. Would definitely recommend.
Several families and friends were getting together for a golf outing. We loved it here. Lots of outdoor space to relax and enjoy. Our questions were answered quickly and even suggestions from the host we hadn’t thought about. We hope to get everyone together and stay again next year.
The house was easy to find. Off the beaten path but very nice. The house was very clean and well stocked if you forgot any toiletries. They have it well decorated to suit the country charm that is the house. There are board games available and plenty of movies to watch. The yard was well groomed for our arrival. I would recommend that you check out this property if your in the neighborhood and need a place to stay.
This location is very secluded and peaceful. The house was clean, cozy and stocked well if you happened to forget some essentials.
The property itself was amazing. Beautiful views of the hillside, trees, pond and castle. We saw tons of wildlife during our stay as well.
It was a perfect weekend reset. Looking forward to staying here again.
The House is clean , it has beautiful and forest look , we (friends) had a memorable stay there . We thank the property owner for letting us have a stay and bit jealous he had an Amazing property
Our first time using Vrbo and everything was just as it is advertised. We stayed here a week during Thanksgiving to visit local family. It was perfect for our needs. The owners did a great job of decorating and adding details to make things go smoothly. Our boys enjoyed the trails and exploring the property. The views are beautiful from every room. Definitely looking forward to staying here in the near future. Thank you thank you 😊
First thing we see coming in was deer and other wildlife. Amazing views around the property. Home was lovely and had everything we needed. Very cozy, love the views from the windows. Got to explore some of the trails they had on their property. And have a nice fire pit to keep warm in the backyard at night. A nice country side getaway. Nice and quiet away from the city. Definitely would book here again when coming to the Historic Marietta area.
This place is so quiet and peaceful. Great place to relax, very private. Lots of wildlife.
We were fortunate that the big mimosa tree was blooming this week. It was COVERED in butterfly's and hummingbirds.
Very helpful and accommodating owner's.
My fiance and I needed a quick trip away from the day-to-day hustle and bustle so we decided to take a drive down to Whipple, OH. We have been to other VRBO's that promised serenity and nature views but then would end up being in someone's neighborhood. This place really delivered on their promise! Beautiful views, plenty of space for nature hikes, and privacy galore! The house was very clean, well maintained, and very nicely decorated. I definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a peaceful night away in nature.
Absolutely an amazing stay. We decided to give VRBO a try. We loved the property. We will definitely return with the whole family. Thank you. Happy New Year
Property was very nice and one of the best stocked we’ve stayed at. Freshly painted, and very quiet. But it was very rural 25-30 minutes to nearest grocery store/Marietta, bedroom upstairs with bathroom downstairs, no Wi-Fi and very spotty cell/data coverage with Verizon.
Thoroughly enjoyed Our stay...
It is so peaceful and the dear and turkeys provided Our entertainment...
We will definitely be back...
The stairs to the bedrooms was hard for my knees...plenty of floor space downstairs to blow up an air mattress or 3....
Absolutely beautiful house and property. We spent our evenings on the deck watching the deer play in the yard. House is immaculate and full of interesting decor. I would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful spot to get away from it all.
