About the host
Hosted by Marley
My fiancé and I are from Ohio, we love nature, hiking, bike riding and spending time outdoors. The idea of becoming hosts came from one of our own mountain vacations, where we stayed in a cozy little cabin and absolutely loved the experience! We wanted to create that same feeling for others, while adding our own personal touches to make every stay feel special.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the peaceful mountain scenery and the feeling of being surrounded by nature. The area is close to plenty of hiking, outdoor adventures, and beautiful places to explore, while still giving you the perfect setting to slow down, relax and enjoy some quiet time away.
What makes this property unique
Our cabin is tucked away on top of a large hill, giving guests a peaceful and secluded feeling while still being close to everything the area has to offer. We wanted the cabin to feel cozy and comfortable, especially after a long day of exploring. Guests can enjoy amenities like the hot tub, fire pit, complimentary snacks, and plenty little touches designed to make the stay relaxing and memorable.
