This place was a little piece of heaven. Very remote but close enough to towns if you need supplies. Very relaxing and amazing scenery. If you’re looking for a little getaway to relax and feel away from the world this is the place. Highly recommend and already talking about going back.

If there is anything missing from this property visitors are missing the point of this property. My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend here. It was quiet, relaxing, so peaceful the perfect place to unplug, un wind and recharge. We arrived on Friday and didn't leave until we had to Sunday didn't even turn on the TV, spent all of our time enjoying the view from the deck! Would highly recommend and will be going back!

About the host

Host profile image
Like to fish and hunt. Love the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

This property is our dream come true. It is the perfect getaway for relaxing, recharging, and enjoying the best nature has to offer. It's been such an amazing place for us, we wanted to give others an opportunity to enjoy it.

What makes this property unique

The entrance to the property is a beautiful path through the center of the woods, which opens up into a breathtaking meadow in the back. It's a picture-perfect setting for the cabin, overlooking the lake for a gorgeous sunset. It's also very close to many attractions, including wineries, Tunnel Hill Bike Trail, Ohio River, Mermet Springs Scuba Diving, and a other state nature areas like Mermet Lake. There is much to do nearby or you can bring your fishing pole and fish the lake for a nice catfish cook-it-up-on-the-grill dinner. If you prefer you can also sit by the fire or relax in the hot tub under the stars for the rest of the night. Don't forget to watch for the amazing wildlife. There is something for everyone here.
