Liberty Retreat No Added Fees!

Everybody needs to get away from the daily hustle once in a while. Spend some time relaxing or curl up with a good book. Enjoy hiking, bird watching, exploring or hunting. We are located in the Appalachian Foothills of Southern Ohio. Our 70 acre property offers high rock cliffs, deep gorges, caves, a small stream and waterfall. View picturesque nature, colorful birds and native wildlife from two miles of clearly marked, scenic trails, available all year.

We have a totally refurbished cabin known as Caretaker’s Cottage. Updated in 2021 with cozy, comfortable features and relaxation in mind, Caretaker’s Cottage displays rustic charm with all the modern conveniences. The barn wood, used as accent walls, was repurposed from an old barn on our property.

Accommodations include two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, adjustable reading lamps, convenient outlets for phones & chargers and a full "Jack & Jill" bathroom (shower, sink, toilet). If you forget something, we keep a small supply of toiletries on hand.

The living area provides comfortable seating and is open to the nicely equipped, full kitchen with peninsula that seats four. There's also a smart tv, a ton of family friendly DVDs and a good selection of books and board games.

An ample supply of fresh towels and extra blankets always on hand. All dishes, silverware, pots, pans, blender, coffee pot, coffee & filters are also provided. Our Keurig coffee maker is a dual feature machine, allowing for drip coffee or K-pods. You will need to bring your own pods.

You'll have the whole cottage to yourself. You will love the large, secluded, paver patio with fire pit and a variety of seating options. The firewood, fire starters and a lighter all provided. Guests may need to gather a little kindling. There's plenty right around the cottage. Get up a game of Cornhole or Hookey. Cook your meals on our Blackstone grill. How about an invigorating experience in the outdoor shower. See if you can identify all the different types of birds at the feeders.

In the evening start with a crackling fire, listen to the soothing sounds of the owls & tree frogs as you view the innumerable stars in the night sky. After a day of nature walks & admiring the beautiful scenery, indulge with a relaxing soak in our new hot tub. Perfect for romantic evenings, anniversaries, honeymoons, or any other reason to just ... getaway.

The information provided by Expedia, under "About the Area", is inaccurate and out- dated. Please disregard.

We are located six (6) miles north of Beaver, OH, on the Pike County - Jackson County Line. Just thirty-eight (38) miles to the Hocking Hills Visitor Center & Old Man's Cave. Hocking Hills was rated by USA Today as the number one best place in the country for hiking. We are also surrounded by thirteen other State Parks and Wildlife Areas, all within 30 miles. Plenty of outdoor activities nearby. There's a small lake across the road and two more nearby. Lake Katherine & Hammertown Lake are a few miles away. Please find "What makes our property unique", under "Host", for more information, accurate mileage and things to see & do. We also have a guest book at the cottage that provides our favorite places to eat, events, activities, etc.

Hunters- We offer in season archery hunting on our 70 private acres, as well as easy access to the Liberty Wildlife Area with 146 acres of untamed woodland, which sits adjacent to our property. There is no additional cost to hunt at Liberty Retreat, however there are some rules to follow & a couple documents you must sign. For full details, send us an inquiry. We'll respond shortly.

When you book with Liberty Retreat, we do not add any additional fees. The nightly rate includes everything we offer. There's no cleaning fee, linen fee, or additional guest fees that most listings impose. It's all included at Liberty Retreat. VRBO does charge a Guest Service Fee for use of their platform. The Guest Service Fee is retained by VRBO.

We believe we have something special here at Liberty Retreat, and we love sharing it with others. We hope you will find it special too and come visit as often as you can.

We are currently under construction. Between now & the end of the year, we will be adding a few amenities. We will only be performing the work when the cottage is unoccupied. It should not disrupt your stay or create any inconvenience for our guests. The back yard is a little muddy, so please avoid. Thank you.

Wonderful Stay!
We stayed at Liberty Retreat for the weekend of my goddaughter’s wedding. It was the perfect place to be able to relax and also prepare for the wedding. We did a bit of hiking the trails, they are well marked. The outdoor shower is a must! We had never tried one before. Everything was as described and better. Pack dog treats for Ellie as she will come and visit you. Wednesday, the cat, was sweet and friendly. Thank you, Mark and Sandy for sharing your home with us!

Absolutely Perfect!
I cannot say enough positive about Liberty Retreat! I only hesitate to post my honest opinion because I want to keep it for myself. So cute, exceptionally clean and the host has thought of every detail. Snacks for my kids, supplies to paint rock, toiletries in case you forgot something, and more. Communication was splendid and the host was SO helpful. A wonderful place to unwind and relax!

Peaceful Retreat
We had a wonderful stay! We hiked around the forest property, went to hocking hills, found a few local restaurants within 30 minutes, and felt very safe here. The kitchen was fully stocked, and they even left some snacks for our hungry teenagers! The hosts were very welcoming as we drove by, and very responsive when we used the app. I would definitely recommend!!!

Awesome Place to Stay!
The cabin was exceptionally clean and so nicely designed. Sandy and Mark provide so many little extras to make you feel right at home. My sister and I came for a weekend get away. We enjoyed a nice fire in the fire pit the first night. They provide the firewood and all the fixings for S’mores. We had asked prior to our trip about visiting a winery so they provided us with a bottle of wine from their favorite winery and directions on how to get there. We went to Chillicothe on Saturday and visited Brick Haven Spa for massages (I highly recommend!). It’s only about an hour to Hocking Hills, but there are trails and caves right on the property. Very well appointed kitchen, Blackstone grill, comfortable beds, plush towels. Such a great place and we are looking forward to making this an annual trip and will stay at Liberty Retreat again.

Liberty Retreat was a really nice, clean home in a quiet and peaceful area of Ohio. The owners go out their way to prepare for their guests with ample towels, candy bars, firewood and kindling. The house is perfect for four people. The driveway is not long but consists of larger gravel so if you plan to ride motorcycles in, just be prepared to maneuver carefully on the driveway. We are looking forward to staying at Liberty Retreat in the future.
