This is a great spot if you need a place to stay when visiting Ohio University...especially on homecoming weekend when the town is chaotic! After a day in the chaos, you come home to calm serenity. Would make a great location for a weekend reading getaway.

A Slice of Heaven

This was an impromptu weekend getaway, and the best choice ever for the beauty and break we needed! The owners were fantastic communicating with us, especially when we thought we might need to add an extra person. I know it’s cliche, but every little corner had a thoughtful touch! The setting was so quiet and the trails were beautiful and well-maintained -right out the back of the cabin. Such a charming place to stay!

Relaxing Night

We were looking for somewhere other than a hotel while touring Ohio on college visits for my daughter. This was the perfect “unplugged” relaxing night we were hoping for.

Happy little cabin

I loved my stay here! The cabin is cute, comfortable, and clean. The location is splendid. I came out for a couple days because I wanted to relax and spend some time in nature, and this was perfect - birds and frogs were singing all day, sitting on the porch and reading while the rain fell on the creek, trails nearby. It was just lovely. And, bonus, the owners didn’t leave a mile-long list of chores to be done by the guest at check-out, just a few basic courtesies that I was happy to do. I’ll absolutely be visiting again.

Cozy and beautiful

Peaceful, beautiful cozy getaway for a couple that loves nature and each other. Sitting on the porch, you can listen to the serenade of bullfrogs, comfortably relax outside by the fire. Use Care on the staircase as the steps are steep.

Clean Cabin

It was not what I thought, much smaller than imagined. Maybe since we are seniors, it was not ideal for us. We only stayed one night vs 2 that we planned.

Hobgoblins, Lakes and Trees, oh my!

Personality, care and craftsmanship was poured into the entire property. From the superb woodworking and the beautiful trails, to the cutest little orange koi that we shared our breakfast with! The hostess with the mostest was so helpful, who upon our request, led us around the property and told us the most charming stories of hobgoblins and various town histories and then gave us some much needed directions (like where to find cell signal lol) We can’t wait to stay again!

For transparency: The listing is accurate, but I made a mistake when I booked this cabin. I did not read it well enough so that's on me. We are seniors & the stairs were okay going up but not coming down - had to go sideways & hold on.This cabin is great for those who like to be off the grid/unplugged. It's in a beautiful setting and very quiet. The woodwork in it is beautiful. A/C worked great, both up & downstairs. Recommendations: Give a few more details in the check in book about what can be recycled - places have different rules for what can / can't be recycled. Also, note where extension cords are - I didn't find the one behind the radiator in bath until our last day.Shower: Install a small shelf for soap/shampoo, etc. It's about the size of a cruise ship cabin shower. The shower head is up high and it was a challenge to soap up while the water washed it off at the same time. Consider a removable shower head vs guest turning off the water completely.Internet: It's a desert. Could not make or receive phone calls except over FaceTime audio. That's a concern. Surprisingly, we could text. Not sure about cost, but maybe look into a starlink for those who do want to be plugged in.Kitchen: Provide a coffee scoop. Check sugar bowl for critters or provide other storage options.
