Om overnatningsstedet

Hjemme i skoven

Wren Eagle Retreat er unikt omgivet af skov, tæt på Chillicothe og meget tidligt Ohio-historie, og perfekt til en rolig familieweekend, en kirkegruppe, scrapbooking eller quiltningsgruppe, forretningsretreat eller enhver anden getaway-lejlighed. Wren Eagle Retreat tilbyder mange af hjemmets bekvemmeligheder, omend i et naturligt miljø, plus nem adgang til kajaksejlads, cykling, historiske steder og meget mere, som Chillicothe og det omkringliggende område har at tilbyde. Så uanset om du bliver i en uge eller to eller gør det til en lang weekend, kan du opleve historie og natur og deltage i mange andre aktiviteter. Eller slap af på det ekspansive dæk og nyd fugle (inklusive ugle og whippoorwill), hjort, firben, padder og andet dyreliv. Eller vandre den 23+ acres.-

Katedralvinduer oversvømmer stueetagen med lys, inklusive det store værelse med pejs med effektiv brændeovnindsats, spisestue (med plads til 12) og et fuldt udstyret køkken med alle moderne bekvemmeligheder. Sofaen trækker ud til en fuld seng, og soveværelset i det store soveværelse har en kingsize-seng og opholdsområde. Loftet med sine syv vinduer kigger ud på hovedspor og skov og indeholder en queensize-seng, 2 enkeltsenge og et halvt bad. Gennem loftet dobbelt glasdøre har du en skovudsigt på tre sider for en behagelig træhusoplevelse.

Udendørs kan du grille dine bøffer på kulgriller under det overdækkede dæk, når det regner, eller bare sidde og rocke og nyde freden. Det åbne dæk er for det meste skyggefuldt om sommeren for din komfort og har 3 borde, der har plads til 12+ sammen med havemøbler.

Hvis du får dit fyld af lat på dækket, kan du altid indtaste lokale indkøb, køre Tri-County cykelsti eller besøge museer. Du er kun ca. 5 miles fra alt, hvad du måske gør i en by: spis fastfood, gå rulleskøjteløb eller bowling, sæt dig ned på en lokal restaurant eller se en film. Du kan køre til First Capital District og gå derfra til Yoctangee Park og besøge kunstmuseet og derefter gå langs oversvømmelsesmuren. Eller du kan køre til Memorial Stadium og se et meget underholdende baseballkamp i college i sommerligaen ved Chillicothe Paints eller, for mere underholdning, tage det udendørs drama Tecumseh ind. Der er golfbaner for golfspillere, kajak-tjenester til kajakere og mange gode kirker. Der er så meget at gøre, at en uge ikke vil være tilstrækkelig til at udforske alt, og du vil gerne vende tilbage gang på gang.

Hvis du starter ved First Capital District og går sydpå, kan du udforske Ross County Museum District og nogle historiske hjem. Eller du kan køre til Adena Mansion og besøge hjemmet til Ohio's første guvernør.

Der er mange statsparker og dyrelivsområder i nærheden. Blandt dem er Great Seal State Park, Scioto Trail State Park, Ross Lake og Buzzards Roost Nature Preserve, hvor de små savet ugler bindes hvert år, og hvor du kan se en udsøgt klippeside ned til Paint Creek.

Der er så meget mere at gøre og se. Kontakt mig for flere forslag. Jeg kan ikke give dig nogen direkte måde at kontakte mig på, fordi VRBO ikke tillader det. Du bliver bare nødt til at sende mig en besked gennem VRBO eller på enhver anden måde, du kan tænke på.

This house seemed like a nice place in the woods but in reality there were too many downsides. The bedroom/loft was not advertised accurately. All three beds were in the same room but the pictures made it look like separate spaces.The porch was very dirty and things didn't work very well. The picnic table was barely staying upright because it was so rotten and then the we got blamed for 'breaking the table'. The driveway is barely passable and the gate which is required to be shut dragged the ground making it impossible to shut all the way.The washer/dryer was the same unit, but that was a joke, the clothes just came out hot but wet, not dryThere were cameras all over the house making us feel uncomfortable. The upside is the surrounding outdoors but enter the house at own risk!

Thank you, but the main door was left open and unlocked which I would not have known had I not tried to set the security alarm. Main bedroom window on the deck side was unlocked. Neighbors complained that the vehicles were driven too fast on the residential street where there are children and pets. I am glad you enjoyed your stay but it's important to look out for others and to follow the clear rules I provided in the email and posted on the refrigerator.

Thank you, Stephanie. It was my pleasure. Just a reminder to all when filling out your forms on VRBO, please let me know if there will be dogs. Also, when reading my Short Term Rental Agreement, when it states that if pets are coming a Pet Addendum and Pet Fee must be paid. Both of these will let me know and give you more information about bringing your dogs to Wren Eagle Retreat. You are welcome to come back anytime if you just let me know in advance that you will be bringing dogs.

Christy, Thank you. And there are many historical things to see in the county as well as great parks and a few good restaurants and unique shops. It would take about a week to see everything so you are welcome to return again! Some other fine activities would be to ride the bike path from Chillicothe to Washington Courthouse (visit the Hopewell Culture Historical Park along the way), the Pump House Center for the Arts, and pick up some cake or bubble tea at High Five Cakes.

Pleasant host. Good communication. Clean suite, quiet area at night. Located centrally to a number of attractions. Our new GPS cud not find the address as it is a very new area. Aim close & you can find, as we did. Bed pillows need replacing. A couple of larger pans would be welcome. We enjoyed our stay. Netflix appreciated.

Thank you for the kind words. The driving directions I send are the best way to find Wren Eagle Retreat. A GPS will never get you there because all GPS devices don't do well with remote areas. In addition, I have soft bed pillows and harder ones because people have a variety of preferences. I have king pillows and standard pillows for the same reason. I sleep with 2 pillows at all times and there are a total of 11 bed pillows in the home. I also have a large stock pot and large cooking pans in the cupboard under the cooktop. Just a note for those who use Netflix or other apps, erase your user name and password before you leave or someone else may use it.

Wonderful Getaway

We had a wonderful stay. The location is isolated enough for peace and quiet and the enjoyment of nature, but close enough to Chillicothe for other needs. My daughter and I enjoyed the mountain biking trails that were about 20 minutes away. We also enjoyed a couple fires with smore cooking in the evening. There is a kayak place just up the road.

Thankful for a nice clean place to lay my head

The owner of this property was very kind to my family. We were evacuating from hurricane Florence. She allowed us to rent with very little notice. The place was very clean and in great order. She was meticulous with her instructions and description of the house and area. I would recommend staying here and enjoy the wildlife and awesome porch.

I've never rented to people fleeing a hurricane before and it brought the situation close to home. I hope that the damage to your property was non-existent or minimal and am joyful that Wren Eagle Retreat met your needs and preserved your lives.

Nice getaway

My husband and I loved it. We love being out in the middle of nowhere which is just what this place is, so you'll need that mentality to enjoy it. It was great to just be able to let the dogs out for them to run around and not worry about any roads or neighbors. It's nearly an hour from Hocking Hills, but it was such a gorgeous drive, I'm glad we stayed on this side of the park. The place was "farm house clean." Counters and kitchen, etc. were clean but baseboards, etc were dirty. Very roomy so the kids were able to play around.

I have trouble keeping the windows sills clean...I will clean them1 week and by the next week they are dirty again--I have never even noticed the baseboards. I just ran my fingers over the ones in the main bedroom and halll bathroom and found no dust. Thank you for the review. . .

Weekend getaway

Nice location only 10 minutes from downtown Chillicothe which is such a cute and fun town! We drove our truck there and thankful for that because the driveway was steep and slick. Very private house / large property. How decor was a little “tired” but the deck was great along with the outdoor furniture. Kitchen had most cooking essentials which we were thankful for since we did a lot of cooking. Check in and check out was smooth process and owner was very quick and easy to communicate with. Her food / shopping / hiking recommendations were great!

Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves. If you'd come a little earlier you could have seen the beautiful fall leaves, but the varying browns of the hillside oaks are still beautiful. The gravel on the drive was still a little loose when you were there because I'd just had it regraded before you arrived. I have eaten at the restaurants, shopped the stores, and hiked almost everywhere in the area. The Ross County Park system and the state of Ohio both have great hiking trails and scenic vistas. You really cannot experience it all in a weekend and a week's stay would have been better!

Love the woods

The house is a little older but had great amenities. Not really comfortable with the cameras inside the living room and kitchen areas with only one able to be unplugged but we dealt with it. The woods surrounding the house was amazing though. Very peaceful. Wish the trails would have been clear and it wouldn’t have rained so much so we could have hiked with our dog. Other than that we had a good stay.

Thanks for the review, Anita. In the email I send out to all my renters I mention how to unplug the greatroom camera and take down the other one and also that the kitchen camera is only showing the tops of the windows so I can tell remotely if they are left open or if there's smoke caused by something burning. (I've had people set off the fire alarm by burning food and it's a volunteer fire department so I don't want them coming unnecessarily). The trails have been blocked by some fallen trees in places but can be climbed over and I also state in the email that I leave marking tape in a drawer for people so they can walk and mark their route so they don't get lost! You're welcome to come back at any time in warmer weather and experience the serenity of the woods.

Relaxing stay in a quiet secluded home.

Had an extra long weekend stay with some friends and the house was exactly what we needed. Working with the owner was fast and easy, and she was super helpful. House was set back from the road a bit, but the instructions given by Diana were spot on. Overall very comfy, maybe a bit run down in spots (as others have mentioned stove top and other minor things) but it was in now way detrimental to our comfort, or impacted our stay. It was a tad muggy during our stay and the thermostat is locked at 76, so if you're sensitive to heat that may be something to consider, but it didn't really bother any of us on our stay. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a quiet getaway with lots of wildlife!

I'm so glad you had a great time. I always enjoy sharing Wren Eagle Retreat with others who can enjoy it, too. The government recommends AC set at 78. I lock the thermostat at to keep kids from putting it too low but lock it at76 for people's convenience and set it to come on as needed to keep the humidity down. I don't use AC for myself because I prefer to have the windows open and fresh air coming in. But, if anyone has a breathing or other problems they need only let me know and I'll remove the lock. Please feel free to return and enjoy the forest, the birds, and the butterflies!

A little disapointed for the price

To be honest we were disappointed, a fairly expensive night rental for the condition of the rental. Two days prior to our stay I received a note stating they were remodeling the master bath but it would be operating. It was operating but was completely a mess, drywall stacked outside front door, boards leaning in an unusable closet that lead into a bathroom with holes in drywall and mudding incomplete and unpainted. This condition may have been okay if it were at a discounted rate not full price. A second concern was the basement area, on our finial day we realized there was an occupant below us. There was no prior indication another person would be around, but we discovered this was not the case when we smelt smoke and happened to see lights late at night from what seemed to be a television glowing from below. This creeped us out! It was a nice retreat in all, but we were uncomfortable with the current accommodations.

Svar fra VrboOwner den 30. jun. 2023
I am sorry you were disappointed. I have kept my price low ($209/night base for a weekend night) due to the construction of the master bath which was to be finished in the spring but ran into problems. I have not raised my price with the addition of the fully functioning bathroom with washer/dryer. I didn't think my contractor would need to move the 2 sheets of drywall on the deck because they were not interfering with anything. I mentioned in my welcome email the ongoing construction and that the bathrooms are usable, which they are. The only hole in the drywall is a small rectangular one which is waiting on the move of an electric switch. And I provided extra luggage racks because much of the closet is not usable. As I told you in my welcome email, I did not paint. The reason I did not is because the last time I painted the fumes were annoying and did not dissipate for 3 weeks. I did not want to subject you to that. If you compare prices $209 is what you might pay for a nice hotel room and you would not get the space, the cathedral ceiling, or the wooded ambiance. More importantly, you were mistaken to think that I had rented the lower level of Wren Eagle Retreat. There was no one below you. I do not rent that area because it is not finished. The only people that have a code to enter are the current renter, myself, and my handyman and he will never appear unless the renter notifies me of a problem and I call him. I don't even have a working TV in the lower level (basement)--although I always leave a light on for security reasons, and sometimes more than one when I forget to turn one off! I am sorry that you thought someone was down there but the only thing you might have heard running downstairs was the dehumidifier.

Beautiful location

The house is quite spacious and the view and privacy are stunning. Diana is extremely responsive. The kitchen had everything you need but stovetop dials are worn and difficult to read. Diana had informed me the day before that mice chewed thru all the dishcloths. There were 2 dish towels available; 1 had mice poop on it. I also found mice poop on the counter and plenty under the sink cabinet. This bothered me and made cooking there not so nice. One mouse trap doesn't seem sufficient(and I speak from experience). The only other difficulty was with laundry. The combination washer/dryer is smaller and it took between 3 to 4 hours to wash and completely dry a load. Also, a laundry basket might be helpful. The house had enough towels and washcloths for our family of 8 but no extras to be found. Combine that with the laundry situation and it was challenging if we needed to wash a towel. I think some of these issues could easily be resolved or might not matter to other guests. Overall, it is a nice house.

I do my best against the mice, but they avoid every trap and they are usually only a problem in winter/early spring. I'm surprised that the counter was not clean because we had just cleaned. We stayed at a place in the forest years ago. It was as clean as I try to keep my place. During the night we were awakened by a mouse rolling an acorn across the floor! It was so cute! We stay up and watched it for awhile. I generally always put out 10 towels/washcloths and thought that was sufficient for 8. If you needed more, you could have just let me know and I would have had my handyman get some out of storage. Yes, the washer is not quick, but it is efficient! And it's the type of washer/dryer combo in use all over Europe. You and your family are welcome to return any time and I'll know what your needs are next time!

Property was great, just a couple suggestions

The setting a seclusion were just what we were looking for, and the property was large enough to accommodate my family of seven. Furniture was great and the beds comfortable. The property was clean, bathrooms and cooking/eating amenities great. We had a few detractions: The thermostat locked in at 72. It was very rainy and warm during our stay which made the humidity high. It was hard to get comfortable in the main parts of the house without being able to adjust the A/C lower to remove the moisture form the air. We keep out thermostat at home 65 at night and 68 during the day, even in the snowy winter. The grates for the Weber Grills were rusty. No amount of cleaning could get them to shine again. Guests might want to bring grill sheets from the grocery store (in the grilling aisle they look like aluminum screens) we use them on public park grills . We have a garbage disposal in our sink at home, without thinking my wife used this one for small vegetable scraps. But then we couldn't figure out how to turn it on or if it worked. I used the break loose tool to manually grind things up and the toilet plunger to move things along. Maybe, repair/replace/remove the kitchen sink garbage disposal. There were a lot of instructions for cleaning recyclables, but no instruction on what to do with them. I tried to guess based on the neighbors if they went in one of the cans at the end of the driveway or not. Some neighbors had brown and green cans, some had one or the other and some had black, but they were all empty. Rather than do the wrong thing we left them in the big container next to the kitchen. There weren't any additional kitchen garbage bags. I was thinking we could get all the trash out in one bag. To conserve space in the one bag, I tossed the grill ashes off the balcony into the woods. I regretted it immediately after. Well rain will take care of it, and I still had to go buy bags the morning we were leaving. The thermostat was an area of discomfort. We were very thankful for the portable A/C unit upstairs. The other items were minor inconveniences, but I stressed our work-a-rounds would result in a negative guest review or keeping the deposit.

I am glad you had a good time and enjoyed Wren Eagle Retreat. I checked the garbage disposal (as I usually do when people leave, but sometimes forget) and it did need to be turned by hand to loosen and then I noticed the internal breaker had popped (red button on bottom). I pushed it and the disposal worked. I had forgotten to check it before you arrived, and for that I am sorry. The AC will not remove humidity well because the furnace through which the air travels is outside the house and is itself humid when it is raining. There's nothing I can do about that and no changes in the temperature will do much more than freeze the AC from trying to get to a temperature it cannot achieve. The house was constructed without AC and I have added it because people seem to expect it. I have plenty of bags both for trash and recyclables and as, your instructions said, recyclables (if you have too many) can be left in the furnace room and I will dispose of them (I take them to a recycler whether they are in the furnace room or left in the recycle bin by the kitchen.) I ask that they be rinsed because that's what the recyclers want. The extra bags for the trash and recycling containers are clearly labelled and are in the drawer closest to them along with extra tablecloths. The trash cans at the beginning/end of my lane are only for trash regardless of the color. My trash company does not pick up recyclables. Thanks for your comments, and just as a note to others, if something doesn't work or you can't figure it out, please contact me immediately. I can either recommend a fix, send my handyman, or at least have the knowledge/tool/parts to take care of it after you leave. And please read everything I send you (including attachments). I want you to be informed before you arrive! I welcome families who want to explore nature or just get out and observe small town life without too many inconveniences. Just arrive and do what you want without too much of the work you would be doing at home.

Beautiful and serene

We had a wonderful stay here. Diana was very accommodating and quick to respond. Beautiful outdoor setting with plenty of small wildlife and birds. House was well stocked with cooking and cleaning products.

Thanks, Jeanett. I try to make everything available for my renters that I would want if I was there. You are welcome to return any time! There is larger wildlife also, but you must be very quiet for a long time in order to see it. The deer are much more timid than city deer.

Fantastic Birthday getaway with my husband and one of our favorite couples and their furr babies

We had a great stay at the Wren retreat. The place was spacious enough for the four of us and their dogs to not feel cramped. The deck was great, it’s closed in so we were able to have the dogs outside without worry. We all really enjoyed the beautiful wood burning indoor fireplace. They left us plenty of wood I did buy some at Kroger as well just so we could keep the fire going all day on our rainy day. I wish it wouldn’t have rained because the outdoor fire pit we would have used. My husband and I stayed on the main floor the king sized bed it was super comfy and I found the same blanket I have at home in the closet so that was nice to keep cozy with . The shower was nice and hot . The upstairs was great for our friends and their dogs. It’s huge upstairs and I was thankful it looks misleading in the photos but it’s closed off by a door. There is a bathroom upstairs as well. It’s about an hour drive from Hocking Hills but the drive is nice. If you haven’t been in the area Chillicothe is bigger than I expected and only a 15 minute drive. We ended up going to the flea market then hiked Old Mans Cave. Gorgeous scenery. I just wish we had another day to explore . We used their charcoal grill on Sunday and made a shmorgasborg of food , played cards, learned dominos, played with a vintage set of circus old maid cards and the men played cribbage. They have everything you need here. I would recommend bringing Tupperware or zip locks because there wasn’t a ton of things to store leftovers, but I always make too much food . Also if you have dogs or your walking on the property bring tick spray . We found one on our buddy but was able to get him off with no problem. One thing to mention if stink bugs freak you out there were a ton in the house. Just keep the lights off in the areas where you are at and they will do their own thing . It’s to be expected of some sort of critters or bugs in the woods though . Overall I would definitely recommend this place, no neighbors or worries just beautiful trees and peace. Thank you to the owners for having us so I could get away for my 41st birthday since the big 40 was when the whole pandemic started and we couldn’t go anywhere. We had an amazing time!

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes stink bugs can be a problem in the spring, but at least they don't bite! There are less crowded parks at which to hike nearby and some cool views both at Scioto Trial State Park and Buzzards Roost county park. Personally, I prefer parks with few hikers so I stay away from Old Mans Cave! You and your friends are welcome to return any time and if you'd been able to stay a week you would have had better weather for much of the time.

Cozy hideaway

This was a nice quiet woodsy spot, perfect for a family gathering place and meal. House was cozy with a nice view of the valley from the deck. I really appreciated being able to find a clean place to stay with my dog, since that is always difficult to do. My family members loved it and my dog loved walking through the woods! The owner was extremely responsive and gave detailed instructions so that we had no problems finding anything. Would come back again.

Forest home

Peaceful! Totally quiet and relaxing. Amazing deck. We loved the woods and the walks over lightly treaded paths. One of the few VRBO rentals I have experienced with a nicely apppinted kitchen. Thank you!

Thank you! I try to think of whatever people might like in the kitchen from garlic press to cheese grater to crock pot, coffee maker, mixer, and blender. And of course, coffee and tea and sugar and creamer and the common spices and spice mixes that you would never think of brining with you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Om værten

Vært: Diana K Harkness

Værtens profilbillede
I have been hiking in Ohio's Appalachian foothills for years. I love listening to the birds, hearing the wind in the trees, and searching for butterflies, insects, and lichens. This is a true vacation spot where I can sit, relax, read and write, photograph and research, and unwind from the stresses of daily life and work.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

I had finally found a place where insecticides and other toxins were not part of the environment. Where nature was not crowded by houses and cars, and where we could experience flora and fauna that would not survive in a city. This is a forest environment of woods, creek, quiet, and light. We saw this property and my husband said 'You have to get this.' Those were certainly unexpected words because my husband has never said that about anything. But where else could we find a perfectly sited (for winter sun and summer breezes) hillside chalet surrounded by acres of woods, on a private road near the end of a dead-end road. Six months and many attorney fees later, I took possession of this fixer-upper. From the cathedral ceiling full of windows with the view of nothing other than trees and sky, to the quiet, to the haunting cry of the pileated woodpecker and at night, owls. I is a place so unlike our house in the Columbus suburbs. A place where we can sit on the deck and quietly observe birds, insects, lizards, and other flora and fauna. We can meander through the woods, he can target shoot, I can read and bird watch and photograph, and when we're tired of relaxing we can go into town for a meal at Old Canal Smokehouse or Garcia's or enjoy one of the many festivals. This is a place where nature abounds but Chillicothe is close enough for the necessities.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

No other vacation rental in the area is so close to the benefits of Chillicothe (restaurants, festivals, etc.), but so far from city life and noise. None is surrounded by woods with no views of roads or other houses. There's not another with so much open space or cathedral ceilings and windows or both open and covered decks. This is a truly unique environment. And yes, you may hear the sound of far-away traffic from time to time, depending on the wind direction, but it's nothing like the constant hum of traffic around the city. At home we may hear 3-4 types of birds during the day; At Wren Eagle Retreat we can hear 8-10.
