About this property

Cabin rental near Cedar Point, Lake Erie, with Hot Tub, Campfire Pit, Gas Grill

Dancing Fox is in keeping with our circa 1842 farmstead home ambiance. Often early settlers would build a prairie style cabin on the same property prior to building a more permanent home and Dancing Fox Cabin is a reflection and our vision of one of those early structures, yet features the comforts we all enjoy.

With it’s rural locale setting, barn wood exterior, interior walls sheathed in white-washed with 1800s boards, wide-plank antique pine flooring, hand-made cabinetry with vintage chalkboard counter tops and barn beam framing…you will be enveloped by the subtle feelings of our pioneers, a sense of soothing well-being and one of a simpler more calmer lifestyle yet features all your modern amenities.

The Dancing Fox Cabin is your opportunity to experience what most lodging in Ohio doesn't offer. Imagine as you follow its pathway to your front porch, stepping across the threshold of an original swinging barn door and upon entry you'll begin feasting your eyes, spirit and senses upon … another time and another place.

Our settler-style cabin may become an unforgettable highlight during your visit to our area. Our initial goal was to utilize in the building process as many reclaimed, recycled, vintage and antique materials as possible in the construction of this self-built structure. To this end result, we were quite successful. Approximately 95% of its total materials have been salvaged and re-purposed from various sources. The blending of all these various components into a harmonious finished product is one that is memorable, soothing, and yet to many, exciting. As different as the exterior’s first impression may be, the cabin’s interior is where your visual senses will be captivated. Wherever your eyes and hands rove you will discover subtly aged textures, hand created items and coordinated color palettes that enhance the feelings of subtle rustic relaxation. These time worn nuances now re-shed their light from simpler by-gone days and are captured by our cabin’s cozy comfortable environment. The lasting effect is one you won't forget. “Memories are made at Dancing Fox Cabin.”

Our cabin resides behind our 1842 farm home on our “off the beaten path” farmland environment with plenty of privacy which removes you from both the heavy traffic and people congestion normally associated with other vacation rentals. Our centralized location is very convenient to the multitudes of attractions, events and activities found throughout the entire north central Ohio region. Lake Erie’s south shore, Cedar Point Amusement Park, fishing, boating, antique shops and flea markets, dining, golfing, historical attractions, wineries and festivals are all within quick and easy driving distances. Major highways such as the Ohio 80/90 Turnpike, U.S. State Rt. 20 and others are practically at your doorstep and conveniences for groceries and other necessities are only minutes away.

The Dancing Fox Cabin and property was very beautiful and very peaceful. The cabin was build from the ground up and is 95% recycled. An adventure and story around every corner of the cabin. If you stay be sure to read the building material sources and look around at all the details. Our stay was short, but we would have loved to stay longer to explore this amazing place. It was a wonderful place to come home to the area near where I grew up, so that we could visit with family, and now know there is a place to come back to for future visits. Gary our host, had so many small touches like fresh flowers and all the little and big things we needed for our stay. Miso, his sweet cat, greeted us, cuddled with us, and sent us off in the morning when we left. We look forward to future visits to come and relax, getting away from the big city to this cozy cabin for peace, quiet and restoration. Thank you Gary for your hospitality and taking care of us so well! We hope to come back again and enjoy your beautiful cabin! Highly recommended if you are in the area!

Amazing Experience

The property is immaculate! The cabin is even better in person than we thought it would be. The attention to detail is unmatched. The cabin is very clean, updated, and a perfect mix of old and new. MISO the cat is a bonus. He wont bother you, but will nap on the porch and keep an eye out for any wildlife. Gary is friendly and a great host. The hot tub is exclusively for cabin guests, and although we didnt use it (It was warm outside) it was surrounded by beautiful landscaping. The owners have spent a lot of time and money on the upkeep of their property and it shows. I would highly recommend to anyome looking for a relaxing and unique experience.

GREAT GET AWAY

My daughter and I wanted a quiet get away and that’s exactly what we got! It was close to own if you needed something, but a safe, quiet, country cabin. Very rustic which I love! The owners of this cabin have thought of everything from towels, linens, dishes, and coffee & tea with honey sticks to lighter fluid and roasting sticks for the fire pit. we loved every minute and the visit from Miso the friendly cat was just icing on the cake!! (i would recommend mosiquito repellant which is something i usually always take to a cabin but forgot,) I would definitely return to this cabin!!

Unique cabin

We enjoyed our stay at the homestead cabin. The setting is peaceful and the furnishings comfortable. The foldout couch was nice for an extra place to sleep. Gary was very accommodating. We liked reading about the cabin construction in the extensive guest binder. It was a nice place to rest after a long day at Cedar Point. The Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve is great for nature lovers.

Perfect Cabin Escape

This was our second stay at Dancing Fox Cabin and everything was exactly as expected. Rustic, homey, private, and exactly what we were hoping for. The wifi was spotty at times - this was not the case during our first visit - but when it worked, it was perfect. Otherwise, we’re looking forward to another visit, hopefully soon. Thank you Gary, Miso, et al!

Cozy and quaint

The rustic setting of this cabin was wonderful. Secluded and very comfortable. Coffee maker is a keurig so you can bring your own kcups if you like. Easy access. Stayed there during the Ames Tri-Power Nationals that were held at Summit Motorsport Raceway. 20 minutes from the track. Very nice out door fire pit and chairs outside to enjoy nature. Recommend the local golf course and restaurant that has excellent food and service!

Not horrible

Hot tub is NOT near the cabin, nor is it private. It is by the main house, and anyone there can see you. Neighbors are ridiculously loud ( we were aware there might be noise from engines and such) but the 60 minute long fireworks ( no we did not stay on 07/04) and then the dirt bikes or what not at 11:00 was not for us. There are also groundhogs that live under the cabin and they were digging all night so that was great. Cabin was very nice and furnished and felt “clean” for the most part I will say that. Lots of games, dishes, ect. It was secluded and you felt like you were out in the woods which was nice.

Good for one night. This place is a studio. No rooms.

Nice location to Cedar point and Put in Bay.The place itself was cool with all the decor and the explanation of where they got all the materials was super neat. I hate leaving bad reviews because not everyone has the same taste and expectations as others,but we didnt enjoy our stay much.You are definelty in someones back yard butted up to a corn field.Its what I would describe as a child's playhouse in the backyard behind the house.The neighbors are the biggest downfall for me even with the critters.The music bumping all three nights and a non stop barking dog is not peaceful.There was a mouse that would pop out of the fireplace and say hello when it was bedtime each night.It is expected I suppose with the location, but I couldn't sleep knowing it was looking at me.A weasel of some sort living under the porch that woke us up each morning killing his breakfast.Im fine with the circle of life but not hearing it.The hot tub is on the main houses back porch so it was kind of uncomfortable to use.A man came out to smoke on the porch while we were in it.We did use it though and it was very clean.If you're a huge coffee drinker like us,bring a pot.The one they have is a like Hotel one and it only brews 2 cups at a time.The fridge is a camper style one so dont get groceries first.It doesn't fit much.It also didnt cool very well.Also, bring your own toilet paper if you dont like one ply.The nightly rate is a little high for what you get.

Fantastic Rustic Cabin

This place is an absolute gem. The rustic cabin has the ambience of a pioneer Village but yet all the comforts of home. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, grilling out on the side patio and sitting on the front porch drinking coffee. Gary and his team do a fantastic job. From the flowers I asked him to have from my girlfriend right down to the coffee cake for breakfast or first morning.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Pendleton

Host profile image
One of life’s most exciting pleasures is creating unique lasting memories for our guests. As travelers ourselves, we seek out the creative and unique lodging experiences, one that will be remembered, talked about and shared with others for years to come. Knowing the history of our 1842 home and understanding how families lived while building their main family home such as ours, we decided to share and offer an experience to others. For over a year, we scoured, gathered and tore down a building here and there to locate salvaged materials, re-purposed items, and gently used pieces and parts from various locations throughout our 4+ county area and some items as far as south in Florida. After we felt we had enough materials gathered, the challenging process of building began. After 1.5 years of non-stop hard work, not to mention the creative thinking that had to go into the building process to make all the parts and pieces fit and come together, Dancing Fox was born and we absolutely love it! To us, it's a treasure trove of local history, stories and ourselves. We promise, you will remember Dancing Fox Cabin too.

What makes this property unique

One-of-kind cabin in Ohio and rated in the top 10 in the United States for being highly re-purposed utilizing salvaged materials, being eco-friendly while guests enjoy all the creature comforts. It may seem a little rustic, but you will soon find out it's one of the most unexpected comfortable accommodations that you will enjoy.
