About this property

Log Cabin on the Water - Free Kayaks!

Small waterfront cabin with a private queen-sized bedroom with a sofa bed in the living room. A 2 person hot tub overlooks the Maumee River and an undeveloped state-owned island.

There is a full kitchen and bathroom. There are small Smart TV's in both the living room and bedroom.

Everything you'll need for the most part is furnished, including linens, bedding, silverware, dishes, pots, pans, cooking utensils, hand soap, paper towels, bathroom tissue, and hand towels.

There is a Circle K gas station with all the necessities that is open 24/7 just 2 1/2 miles away. There is a large Kroger grocery store about 5 miles from the cabin that is open until 10 pm.

Enjoy the free use of our kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, and fishing boat to navigate between the beautiful islands across from your cabin. While the river is usually no higher than deep, life vests for both adults and children are provided.

There is a 10-mile-long hiking and biking trail that abuts our property and runs through the woods along the river. There are usually a few bikes laying around to use.

My husband and I live in one of the 10 cottages (Brown "A" frame) that we have so we are available should you need anything.

You are responsible for bringing, or gathering, your own firewood.

Pets are always welcome and smoking is only permitted outdoors. Pets must be on a leash when outside and cleaned up after. There is a $50.00 fee.

To meet Cathy & Parker go to youtube and put in WTOL Classic Car Guy.

My family stayed in this cabin over the weekend and had a great time. The owners are so kind and thoughtful, offering supplies, suggestions, and even to light our fire for us. The spot on the river is beautiful and being so close to Metroparks and trails was a big plus. The cabin was cute and thoughtfully supplied with snacks and games.

Rested and Relaxed family

Our stay at Riverwood was great. It’s a nice place to just relax and enjoy the scenery. Parker and Kathy are great hosts and made sure our stay was fun and relaxing. We took a boat out and utilized the complementary bikes. We will definitely be back. Having just a little phone service helped us to detach as well but the WiFi was still available.

Revitalizing

Needed a place to stay while house hunting and this was the perfect spot to unwind after a long day (and gear up for the one ahead). Just relaxed in the hot tub and watched the river flow by and then off to the comfy bed. Can’t wait to come back for a longer stay soon.

Birthday Getaway!

Loved this small rustic cabin for a girl’s weekend. Perfect if you want close quarters and a cozy atmosphere. The jacuzzi was clean and already turned on and warmed for us on arrival! ❤️ The hosts were very friendly and were quick to respond when we had questions.

Pleasant short stay

We didn't stay near long enough! My husband and i were in the area for a short visit to buy a vehicle and found this gem. Clean, tidy cabin that was equipped with everything you could possibly need to be comfortable. The owner/host is very accommodating and friendly! We will definitely be back!
