Escape to this modern mountain cabin, surrounded by sweeping mountains filled with natural light , wrapped in stunning peak views and sunlight through a gorgeous wall of windows. Enjoy crackling nights by the fire pit, movie-style evenings in the home theater, and pure relaxation in the outdoor hot tub beneath the stars -all while being just minutes from town conveniences with smooth, easy road access.
Nestled among towering pine and oak trees, this stunning mountain retreat offers breathtaking views of the surrounding range through a wall of windows — providing an unobstructed panorama of nature’s beauty.
With over 4,000 sq. ft. of living space, there’s room for everyone to relax and unwind. Enjoy movie nights in the dedicated theater, challenge friends in the game room, or simply lounge by the wet bar.
Families with children will love the kids’ room featuring three bunk beds, perfect for sleepovers and laughter-filled nights. After a day of adventure, unwind in the hot tub, fire up the grill, or gather around one of two firepits for cozy evenings under the stars.
The first firepit, located under a covered gazebo, can be enjoyed rain or shine. For a truly scenic experience, take a short 100-ft hike uphill to the second firepit, where you can share stories and create lifelong memories surrounded by mountain views.
Just 5 minutes away, Strouds Run State Park offers endless outdoor activities — boating, swimming, fishing, or hiking along its beautiful 10-mile lakeview trail.

It is a wonderful property, and accommodated our large family reunion very well. All family members agreed that they thoroughly enjoyed the property during our stay, and would certainly be open to a repeat stay.

Dennis and his family were wonderful guests! They were a pleasure to host and are welcome anytime!
We felt the hot tub didn’t get as hot and bubbly as we like. There was a Tupperware container of leftovers in the fridge when we arrived. We couldn’t get the French doors to screened in porch to lock completely. Otherwise, it was a beautiful house in a beautiful setting. I loved being surrounded by blooming dogwood trees! Used the grill, stove, oven and new firepit and all worked great.

Thank you for your feedback. We will certainly look into the hot tub temperature to ensure it’s set appropriately for future guests.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the leftovers in the fridge. We work with a professional cleaning company, and we will be addressing this issue with them to ensure it does not happen again.
Regarding the French door, it does lock a bit differently. We truly wish we had been able to assist you with this during your stay, and we’re sorry that this information wasn’t shared prior to your check-in. To improve the experience for future guests, we will be creating a short video demonstrating how to properly lock it.
Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention, we appreciate it and hope to have the opportunity to host you again.
Beautiful property close to Strouds Run State Park. Property is well kept, clean, and has all the extra amenities that make it so easy and enjoyable to stay here. Was great to enjoy the scenery, the hot tub, and quality time with friends!

About the host
Hosted by Dran
We are from columbus ohio , this mountain cabin is our weekend retreat , by seeing our guests enjoy the property and its features ,our happiness gets doubled.
Why they chose this property
Athens is at the foothills of Appalachian mountains , it is a historic college town where you can get all the modern amenities within few miles at the same time it has beautiful hilly terrain and abundance of nature, it is closer to hocking hills area as well . So it is a perfect blend of nature and amenities , that is why we chose this area.
What makes this property unique
Our hillside cabin has beautiful rock formations and with the wall of windows you get a closer look at the mountain , which we believe is very unique. It is a perfect blend of nature and amenities , you can stay amidst nature , at the same time get a pizza or shop what you want in less than 10 minutes.
