Forget your worries in this spacious & serene space. Watch rabbits & deer from the lit patio or have a cup of coffee on the front porch. The large sunroom has a dining table that doubles as a poker table for evening fun (chips & cards provided), a breakfast nook & roku TV. Try yoga in the quiet backyard or enjoy a movie on the roku TV in the comfortable living room. Cook dinner in full kitchen or throw burgers on the propane grill. Large driveway is U shaped for trailers or boats. Black Hand Gorge is 4 miles for hiking. Close to hunting areas in Frazeysburg or Dresden. Denison University is 20 miles west.

About the host
Hosted by Barbara Mix
My husband, Tom & I are just down the road. We have several vacation properties & enjoy it a lot. Feel free to contact us anytime.
Why they chose this property
We have chickens next door so leave a message if you want fresh eggs left for you. The area is very peaceful & relaxing. Most people in the area enjoy hiking at Black Hand Gorge (4 miles) or kayaking in the Licking River (at end of Brushy Fork Rd & Brownsville Rd) is best spot or Staddens Bridge Road to leave vehicles.
What makes this property unique
There is a fold up poker table top that fits the dining table. Cards & chips are also available. Large checker board on back porch along with small dart boards. If pulling a trailer or boat, the driveway does make a U turn shape so you don't have to back out. Fifteen minute drive to Dillon State Park for boating or fishing. Flintridge park with Indian artifacts is also ten minutes away.
