About this property
Cabin rental near Cedar Point, Lake Erie, with Hot Tub, Campfire Pit, Gas Grill
Dancing Fox is in keeping with our circa 1842 farmstead home ambiance. Often early settlers would build a prairie style cabin on the same property prior to building a more permanent home and Dancing Fox Cabin is a reflection and our vision of one of those early structures, yet features the comforts we all enjoy.
With it’s rural locale setting, barn wood exterior, interior walls sheathed in white-washed with 1800s boards, wide-plank antique pine flooring, hand-made cabinetry with vintage chalkboard counter tops and barn beam framing…you will be enveloped by the subtle feelings of our pioneers, a sense of soothing well-being and one of a simpler more calmer lifestyle yet features all your modern amenities.
The Dancing Fox Cabin is your opportunity to experience what most lodging in Ohio doesn't offer. Imagine as you follow its pathway to your front porch, stepping across the threshold of an original swinging barn door and upon entry you'll begin feasting your eyes, spirit and senses upon … another time and another place.
Our settler-style cabin may become an unforgettable highlight during your visit to our area. Our initial goal was to utilize in the building process as many reclaimed, recycled, vintage and antique materials as possible in the construction of this self-built structure. To this end result, we were quite successful. Approximately 95% of its total materials have been salvaged and re-purposed from various sources. The blending of all these various components into a harmonious finished product is one that is memorable, soothing, and yet to many, exciting. As different as the exterior’s first impression may be, the cabin’s interior is where your visual senses will be captivated. Wherever your eyes and hands rove you will discover subtly aged textures, hand created items and coordinated color palettes that enhance the feelings of subtle rustic relaxation. These time worn nuances now re-shed their light from simpler by-gone days and are captured by our cabin’s cozy comfortable environment. The lasting effect is one you won't forget. “Memories are made at Dancing Fox Cabin.”
Our cabin resides behind our 1842 farm home on our “off the beaten path” farmland environment with plenty of privacy which removes you from both the heavy traffic and people congestion normally associated with other vacation rentals. Our centralized location is very convenient to the multitudes of attractions, events and activities found throughout the entire north central Ohio region. Lake Erie’s south shore, Cedar Point Amusement Park, fishing, boating, antique shops and flea markets, dining, golfing, historical attractions, wineries and festivals are all within quick and easy driving distances. Major highways such as the Ohio 80/90 Turnpike, U.S. State Rt. 20 and others are practically at your doorstep and conveniences for groceries and other necessities are only minutes away.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

It is a nice quiet little get away. The hot tub was great! Cute little cabin and Miso was a very friendly cat who joined us at the hot tub!! Gary is great to work with!
Host was very welcoming and quick to stop out when the pipes froze in the shower!! Cabin was so cozy and we loved using the hottub, and our little friend Miso who hung out with us most of the weekend. Loved how rustic and unique the entire cabin was, and learning about the history of when and how it was built. perfect place to go for a little getaway but still be close to town. definitely will recommended and come out again!!
Wonderful cabin with lots of historical information and lore. Every corner of the cabin feels cozy and nostalgic. Bunk beds were perfect for two friends. Hosts are responsive and helpful. The best part? A fat tabby cat named Miso who will greet you and follow you into your cabin. He kept us company near the fire and made the whole experience so lovely and warm. Great cabin, we enjoyed the hot tub. Not a whole lot to do in the town, but we had a nice time in the space. Highly recommend.
My girlfriend and i stayed for one night for a small cabin getaway and the property is a decent size all the essentials are already here besides food. Absolutely loved it, will be coming back

Don and Susan, thank you for visiting Dancing Fox and also for your kind words about your stay during your birthday celebration getaway. Safety should always be a priority as well as a lodging facility being maintained and I'm happy you found ours to be just that. Susan, since Don was able to introduce you to his old stomping ground Camp Perry, I hear you also got to experience your first Mayflies...lol. Always an adventure wherever you go and something to share with others. It was great meeting you both and please come back again and see me. All The Best Always! Janell

Loved the personal touches and attention to detail. A beautifully unique place to stay.
My son and I stayed at Dancing Fox due to its proximity to White Star Quarry as we were both doing SCUBA certification classes. The hosts were incredibly gracious and friendly, and the cabin had everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay here again!

Hi Sara and Family!
Thank you for your review and also for staying at Dancing Fox cabin. We learn things every day from our guests and when you were making your reservations, I didn't realize White Star Quarry had Scuba lessons. How wonderful that you and your son were able to come and achieve your diving goals so you can travel the world with your hubby and all dive together. We are delighted you loved the cabin with it's cozy nature and also used the hot tub to warm up in after a long day of diving in cold water. Please know you are welcome back any time. Have a great time with your family diving adventures, stay safe and take care of yourselves.
All The Best! Janell and Paul
Gary greeted upon arrival and showed us around the beautiful grounds and cabin. The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a restful stay. Gary was an excellent host and I would highly recommend staying here.
My husband and I Loved this cozy little cabin. You feel secluded from the world, but only 5mins for delicious food options. This cabin was excellent for our overnight stay and we hope to be back one day!
Great time to get a way and relax! The host were very responsive and kind! Highly recommend!!!

Hi Tom and Paula,
Thank you for staying with us at Dancing Fox Cabin and we're happy you had a nice relaxing time away from your hectic daily life. I see we didn't earn your 5 star approval, so if you would like to share why you feel we fell short of that, please email us and let us know so we can improve our guests experience. Hopefully you can come back this way again to enjoy more sights and sounds of our Lake Erie north coast area. All The Best! Janell and Paul
This cabin is beautifully built. It is furnished comfortably with many interesting antiques. The backyard has big white pines and lots of birds. The hosts are exceptionally kind. I look forward to staying again.
The Dancing Fox Cabin and property was very beautiful and very peaceful. The cabin was build from the ground up and is 95% recycled. An adventure and story around every corner of the cabin. If you stay be sure to read the building material sources and look around at all the details. Our stay was short, but we would have loved to stay longer to explore this amazing place. It was a wonderful place to come home to the area near where I grew up, so that we could visit with family, and now know there is a place to come back to for future visits. Gary our host, had so many small touches like fresh flowers and all the little and big things we needed for our stay. Miso, his sweet cat, greeted us, cuddled with us, and sent us off in the morning when we left. We look forward to future visits to come and relax, getting away from the big city to this cozy cabin for peace, quiet and restoration. Thank you Gary for your hospitality and taking care of us so well! We hope to come back again and enjoy your beautiful cabin! Highly recommended if you are in the area!
I don’t usually write reviews but this cabin is so amazing that I felt compelled. Gary was so kind when we checked in and out and thought of all the little touches to make our anniversary trip wonderful- from balloons to cinnamon rolls to a well-stocked kitchen. Definitely a great place for couples to stay!
We loved living in this little house on the prairie for the last week. Everything was provided and exceeded our expectations.

Sherry and Family,
Thank you for your lovely comments and we are so very happy you enjoyed our prairie cabin during your vacation with your sis and kiddos. Also, thank you for taking such good care of it. If it weren't for the linens, we would have had a difficult time knowing that you and your family were here 8 days! Take care of yourselves and if you come back this way to Ohio, keep us in mind.
All the Best! Paul and Janell

About the host
Hosted by Gary Pendleton
One of life’s most exciting pleasures is creating unique lasting memories for our guests. As travelers ourselves, we seek out the creative and unique lodging experiences, one that will be remembered, talked about and shared with others for years to come. Knowing the history of our 1842 home and understanding how families lived while building their main family home such as ours, we decided to share and offer an experience to others. For over a year, we scoured, gathered and tore down a building here and there to locate salvaged materials, re-purposed items, and gently used pieces and parts from various locations throughout our 4+ county area and some items as far as south in Florida. After we felt we had enough materials gathered, the challenging process of building began. After 1.5 years of non-stop hard work, not to mention the creative thinking that had to go into the building process to make all the parts and pieces fit and come together, Dancing Fox was born and we absolutely love it! To us, it's a treasure trove of local history, stories and ourselves. We promise, you will remember Dancing Fox Cabin too.
What makes this property unique
One-of-kind cabin in Ohio and rated in the top 10 in the United States for being highly re-purposed utilizing salvaged materials, being eco-friendly while guests enjoy all the creature comforts. It may seem a little rustic, but you will soon find out it's one of the most unexpected comfortable accommodations that you will enjoy.
