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.
