Quiet cottage nestled in the woods

Feel far away while not going far. This cozy quiet cottage is located on the edge of a 41 acre Certified tree farm. This cabin is one of 2 cabins available for rent. Beautiful serene wooded view with lots of Maples, massive Oaks, and beautiful Buckeye trees. Feel free to collect Buckeye nuts to take home with you. Lots of wildflowers and native plants. Spacious 3-season sunroom to enjoy the view. Pet friendly with a large fenced-in dog area. Tons of wildlife include whitetail deer, wild turkey, birds, fox, and more. Come get away from the hustle and bustle and relax in our serene woods. You can also enjoy an outdoor fire pit, indoor/outdoor seating, a huge yard, outdoor games, board games, and more. Come reconnect with nature. Grab a good book, relax, write or just watch the local wildlife.

This country cabin has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a full kitchen, a large sunroom, and can sleep 6 people (1 Queen bed, a twin trundle bed, a futon couch, a hideaway bed, and a couch). The home is 1100 square feet. It has a massive fireplace with built-in bookshelves. The bedroom walls do not go to the ceiling and noise may carry. A fan has been placed in the bedrooms to help with white noise. At this time there are no doors on the bedroom doors- coming soon. Curtains have been placed to help with privacy.

Enjoy the fire pit with s’mores and hot dogs. Take in nature while reading a book in the hammock. Listen to the water feature while relaxing outdoors. A dog fenced-in area is located in the front of the home. Wood is provided for the firepit. Please do not use the fireplace in the home.

About the host

Hosted by Janel Scarbrough

Host profile image
We are a family that is excited to share our farm with you. We live on the farm and have been here for over 7 years. Our goal is to teach our kids to love nature as much as we do. We strive to protect our woods and nature. Our property is a certified tree farm. We have planted hundreds of trees and plants over the years. We also live on the farm and have 2 cabins for rent. We have 2 kids and several animals (don't worry- none of the animals are near the cabins).

Why they chose this property

This little piece of heaven was built in 1940. It has tons of charm and was initially called the Indian Mound Lodge. It is quiet, calm, and serene. The water feature will put you to sleep in the hammock as you watch the birds play outside. This is where you can come and relax. The cabin is tucked into the woods with nothing but large mature trees surrounding most of the cabin. It does have a large grass front yard for games and room to run.
My favorite part of the cottage is the large sunroom with vaulted ceilings and old wood beams. There are large antique windows that protect you from the elements throughout the year. There is nothing like listening to the rain on the roof while relaxing inside the three-season room.
