The cabin was beautiful, cozy, and well stocked. All the amenities you could need for glamping were peovided! Wifi in the cabin so you dont have to worry about cell service, Keith and Elta were amazing hosts, and it was perfect temperature the whole stay! Would highly recommend!
My son and I stayed for a weekend for a NICA race. Property was well maintained and fully stocked. Shower house had everything we would need and the owner did a great job of communicating throughout our stay. M
this cabin is such a gem! it’s environmental friendly, located in a peaceful area, with the kindest hosts! the shower house is well set up and not far at all! we had such a wonderful stay in this cabin! it was also only a 20 min drive to the OU campus which was very convenient for us!
Perfecr get away into the woods and cloae to trails /park
The cabin was very nice! We enjoyed nature with the many trails and parks cloae by. However, it was great to come back to the cabin a d relax by the firepit. We were impressed with the kitchen ammenties. Will book again soon. Thank you
Keith and his cabin were amazing. Comfy, private, and plenty of things to do around town. We were provided good eggs and wood for the fire and breakfast.We brought a sedan that is lower to the ground and it was a mistake. Getting to the cabin includes a lot of gravel / limestone roads, and a decent incline from guest parking to the cabin. We strongly recommend a tall clearance vehicle with AWD or 4x4.Besides the unpaved roads, this trip was amazing. We would like to come back when we have a truck.

While looking for a quick adventure away from home, my heart fell on this place. Keith was extremely accommodating and responsive throughout the whole process and his property was even better than the listing really seemed. We had a blast hiking on the nearby trails and playing the games inside the cabin. The beds were so comfortable, it was like sleeping on a cloud. I will definitely be keeping this listing saved for future trips out of town!
Benton's of the Baileys was a perfect place to stay for some mountain biking at Baileys. (Which are great trails!) V close to Athens for a drive or bike into town for dinner or whatever. The host was super welcoming and thoughtful. Cabin was clean and v comfortable.
Will definitely be staying again!
It was great to get away from the busy life and spend some time in this cozy cabin. My wife was super excited to see the stars without all the light pollution.
Were welcomed as soon as we arrived, along with a side by side tour of the property the cabin was on. Have never stayed at a rental with such great services and genuine people there to greet us and to look upon for any possible questions that we had. Would most definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice little Ohio getaway!
