Marion was soooo great! We had so much fun, place was perfect! The horses were incredible. Breakfast was AMAZING! We would recommend eating at the Alcove for dinner about 10 minutes away!
Such a lovely spot, quiet and everything you need in the room for a comfortable stay! Marion a perfect hostess and responds quickly to any questions you may have.
Great host, wonderful room, spacious, with lots of windows to watch the birds, butterflies, deer, etc. Relaxing getaway, exactly what we needed! Penny, the horse, was very sweet and friendly.
Marion is the best hostess! She made us feel welcome and at home. She went above-and-beyond to ensure my daughter was able to help with the horses. It was truly a treasure and I'm certain the memory with last a life-time!
Charming, beautiful room in a separate part of a house in a rural setting. 15 minutes from Kenyon College. Nice home owner making everything easy and comfortable! Highly recommend.
Simultaneously luxurious and rustic, Marion's little equine corner of the world is singular. The suite is well appointed and the ever changing pond view through the wall of windows would be difficult to tire of. A walk around the grounds to see the wide variety of avian life is recommended. Marion invited us to a meet and greet with four of her pretty horses and it was a swell party.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Marion. The property is beautiful with window views to the trees and pond and to the amazing stars at night. The chairs and bed allowed such spectacular views of the stars and the property. We really enjoyed talking with Marion and sharing our joint love of nature.

Anniversary Getaway
Marion is a wonderful host. This place was exactly what we needed to have a quiet weekend away from our hectic lives. Sitting and watching the birds was very peaceful and the soaking tub is exquisite.
Transformational Idyllic refuge from the quotidian
Marion is blessed with a phenomenal piece of property and keeps the place sparkling clean! She is a kind, thoughtful, considerate and generous host! Charlie (the cat) and Marion facilitate the most amazing getaway if you love nature, and the horses are warm and affectionate too. This is a very special place we look forward to returning to again to admire the seasonal change.
My girlfriend and I just spent this weekend here, can’t say enough good about it. Marion is a wonderful person and is a fantastic hostess who makes you feel right at home. The property is very private, quiet, and peaceful. The room is very nice, comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom (huge bathtub), lots of windows to enjoy the scenery. Marion brought us jars of sweet tasting well water, a nice breakfast and coffee each morning, and even sent me home with some catnip for the cat. Got to visit and pet the horses. If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful retreat, this is your place! You won’t want to leave
Very nice and accommodating host. The room was very comfortable and clean. We seen so many birds and the most amazing firefly show at night. The flower beds could use some weeding. We would love to return and stay again.
