It was very remote and so not convenient, but would be great for someone wanting a remote, quiet stay. We were visiting Marietta to visit a relative in a nursing home, so the commute was a little challenging.

Secluded Weekend Away

If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is the place! The only sounds we heard all weekend were sounds of nature. This cabin is located on a scenic ridge in Wayne National Forest. There were multiple hiking trails in the nearby area that we explored. GPS made it very easy to find anything we needed. We attended the New Martinsville Back Home Festival on Friday and Saturday evening which was not far from this cabin. Very spacious and could accommodate many more people. We would definitely consider staying here again!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Litten

Host profile image

Retriever Ridge is 40 acres of haven inspired by the beauty of Ohio's seasons and the cherished memories of our beloved Labrador Retrievers, AJ, and Tyson. Founded by Ohio natives (Sherri and Chris Litten) who ventured away but longed for the vibrant landscapes and changing seasons of their home state, Retriever Ridge is a tribute to the joy and connection we found in nature.

The vision for this property blossomed during family hikes, where every trail and vista sparked a desire to create a space that could be shared with others. Here, we celebrate the outdoors, inviting families, friends, and fellow nature enthusiasts to explore, relax, and create their own lasting memories.

At Retriever Ridge, we honor the spirit of AJ and Tyson, whose companionship enriched our lives and inspired us to build a place of warmth and welcome. Our mission is to foster a sense of community and connection through shared experiences in nature, reminding us of life's simple joys.

Join us in embracing the beauty of each season at Retriever Ridge, where every visit is a chance to reconnect with nature, loved ones, and the enduring spirit of our beloved retrievers.
