Perfect Thanksgiving home away from home

Hidden gem tucked away in Etna, Ohio! we stayed for Thanksgiving to be close to family and it was the perfect home base. while we did not do any cooking, the kitchen was fully stocked. Hot tub was a super fun addition to the visit and the view of the cute pond was perfect.

About the host

Host profile image
This property holds a special place in our hearts, as it’s been a cherished part of our family for three generations. Our grandmother Arminta, who lovingly cared for and raised our mom and uncles here, would be so happy to know it’s back in our hands.

After a bit of an interlude, during which the property was away from our family for about twenty years, my brother Josh and I had the incredible opportunity to reclaim it in 2022. Renovating this place has been a labor of love, and we’ve had the joy of reliving the experiences we had as kids with our own children. The fishing, creek adventures, and hard work have been just as magical as ever.
Before she passed, Grammy Arminta set out to write a book about her life and her childhood here. To illustrate it, she asked each of us grandkids to draw pictures, though at the time, we didn’t quite understand the significance. She had the book, titled "Featherbeds & Haystacks," beautifully bound and printed for the family. So, when we had the chance to name our company "Featherbeds & Haystacks," we wanted to honor her legacy and share this hidden paradise with you.

Our hope is that you’ll find as much joy and create as many wonderful memories here as we have over the years. Welcome to a place that means so much to us—may it become a special part of your life as well.

What makes this property unique

What truly sets this property apart is its rare combination of total seclusion and unbeatable convenience. Nestled on a private 9-acre wooded lot with a pond, this home gives you the feel of a peaceful nature retreat—complete with walking trails, a wooden bridge, and wildlife—while still being just minutes from local shops, restaurants, and attractions.

Guests love the thoughtfully designed layout: two cozy family/game rooms, and an outdoor setup that includes a hot tub under the stars, a volleyball net, a fire pit, and a deck overlooking the water. It’s the kind of place that invites you to both unplug and reconnect—with nature, with family, and with yourself.

Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck as deer pass by, enjoying a quiet soak in the hot tub after a hike, or gathering by the firepit under the trees, every corner of this home offers a chance to slow down and savor the moment.

Add in meticulous attention to cleanliness, clear communication, and a setting that feels like your own private park—and you’ve found a stay that’s truly unforgettable.
