About this property

The Hideaway at Buck Ridge. Pet friendly.

The Hideaway is a cozy 2 story home tucked into a the hills of south eastern Ohio. A full kitchen and living area combine to make a comfortable place for your group to gather. Porches running the full length of both upper and lower level give you lots of room to enjoy outdoor living. There are 5 bedrooms and 2 baths to accommodate 12 persons.
WiFi and TV, with a DVD player. Washer and dryer. Gas grill on the porch, as well as a porch swing, and 12 comfortable deck chairs and a table. Fire ring, firewood provided.
The driveway is gravel and a bit steep. Fine for cars unless there is snow or ice. We strongly suggest 4 wheel drive in winter months. Not suitable for cycles. Not handicap accessible, must go stairs to get to the main level where the kitchen and main living room are located.

Pet friendly. $50 per stay.
The area is quiet and has very low traffic. You can walk the road to the small creek or to the Amish neighbors.

The place is gorgeous. My only complaint was that the water ran out, It is fed from a spring into a sisters. That did not detract from my experience.

Thank you for being so gracious. We have had plenty of water all along until the morning you left. So very sorry! We are thinking the prior guests must’ve used a lot of water. We appreciate that you forgive us. We had water hauled in to fill the cistern totally.

Nice, Peaceful Getaway

Nice property with all the emenities of home. We were there on particularly hot days so the AC struggled a bit but was not uncomfortable in the living room. Property was clean, spacious, and had a nice hidden wooded view from the second floor balcony.

Great cabin to enjoy the outdoors

My friends and I hike in different parts of the Tri-State every year so we stay in a lot of cabins. This by far was one of the best. Five clean bedrooms, great common areas, and an awesome fire pit (fire wood included!). I would highly recommend this to others looking for a nice get-away.....

Beautiful home !

We had a wonderful stay. My mom is in a wheelchair and the lower level was pretty accessible, including the back cement patio ! The area is very scenic and the home is beautiful! The only challenge is that verizon cell service in that area doesn’t work, so satellite car maps were all that could guide us. The home wifi worked well and allowed us to call / connect once there. A bit far from Athens but overall great stay.

Sweet getaway to the hills of Ohio

Great property! Clean and well stocked! We were comfortable immediately and enjoyed the fire pit and porch/balcony. We cooked most of our meals and had everything we needed. Plenty of space for me, my husband, and my in-laws, with room to spare! Could sleep many more comfortably. It was clean and peaceful! Cannot say enough good things about this rental!

The house was clean and well furnished. Very private and quiet. This was our second time renting this house and we will rent again. The only thing I would change about the house is the windows. Difficult to open.

Thanks for being such great guests. Yes, those windows are not my favorite either. Sure wish it wasn’t so expensive to change them.

Everything was amazing! The only downfall was only one ac unit upstairs but they provided fans for every room so that helped a ton! Despite only having 1 AC unit, the house stayed fairly cool! The amount of stuff they provided for the stay was great as well (such as toilet paper, pillows, blankets, paper towels, dish pods, laundry soap, etc). 10/10 stay!

About the host

Hosted by Celesta Gingerich

Host profile image
We enjoy the outdoors and meeting people, so having vacation rentals is a fun project for us. Lee is a retired mechanic and Celesta loves gardening and sewing. The Hideaway is our third property. You may want to check out Antler Ridge Cabin and The Cottage at Antler Ridge.

Why they chose this property

The area is great for deer and turkey hunting, so we purchased some acreage for hunting privileges and then the house became available also. A win-win!

What makes this property unique

Where can you find a nice house in the middle of the boonies and feel so secure and refreshed? The clip clop of a horse and buggy going past just adds to the romance of the secluded area. Just a half mile away you can order Amish made pies, breads, rolls, cookies, crafts, hickory rockers, soaps, and fresh produce. Takes you back in time...
