About this property

Ethan's Retreat: Cozy cabin getaway w/hot tub, private & pet-friendly!

Located in the heart of Amish Country, this peaceful, country cabin is located on a small farm between Killbuck and Glenmont, Ohio. The retreat is surrounded by 30 wooded acres complete with nearly 2 miles of hiking trails. Located on the edge of the property, this cabin provides privacy and the chance to take a break from life's hectic pace and challenges! Guests have reflected that the peace and quiet of being "unplugged" actually allows them to "digitally detox," to hear their own thoughts, and reconnect with themselves and each other!!

This delightful cabin boasts 1 bedroom plus a loft, 2 bathrooms, and cozy living areas for you to relax in. When not exploring the trails, relaxing around the firepit, soaking in the hot tub, or out shopping/dining, you may enjoy cooking in the quaint kitchen or unwinding in front of the fireplace or soaking in the peaceful surroundings on the deck overlooking the native forest in all its majesty. While here, take time to breathe deeply of God's fresh, country air and relish the opportunity to unplug yourself and loved ones while staying at Ethan's Retreat.

Family Getaway

Ethan’s retreat is a country setting that’s great for family time and relaxation. We had a wonderful time ! Property is clean and comfortable. My only negative would be that the couch is very low to the ground and has staples on the back cover to keep the fabric from coming loose. For the price I think an upgrade is needed . I’m only mentioning because I recently had knee replacement surgery and it would be difficult for an older person to get up. Despite the couch, we would definitely return ! Our grand littles had a blast ! We had hot tub time, had breakfast at the picnic table with farm fresh eggs and Amish bread and bacon, played games, made a fairy garden and bee bath. Walked the trail and had some delightful family time ! Plenty of wildlife to enjoy and a great location for star gazing !
