Very nice, our family had a great time. We especially enjoyed fishing and peddle boating. Hanging around the fire seeing all the stars in the sky was an added bonus. The house had everything we needed, we plan to make this a yearly trip.

Our host was very responsive to questions and requests that we made. As for the fishing, I can’t say that I caught a lot of bass, but I did catch one that was 3 pounds, 18 inches using a spinner bait. The home was very comfortable for all of us. We would gladly return for another stay at this great property.

The cabin is spacious with lots of room for a girls weekend. The property is large and allowed us to sit outside by the fire late at night without worrying that we were keeping the neighbors up.

60th Birthday Celebration

We recently stayed at the Lodge to celebrate our friends 60th Birthday and we were not disappointed! The accommodations were better than advertised and the host was easy to work with. The property has a pond on site and the bass fishing was great. Deer Ridge golf course is also close by and is a fun and challenging course to play. We look forward to going back again soon!

Peaceful 2 nights

We had a great stay, the property was beautitul and the house was cozy. Tried checking in early but was never really given a straight answer. 4pm check in is quite late in my opinion. We caught bass in the pond andnenjoyed some fresh air, Mohican State Forest was nearby and Loudonville was fun to explore. Overall, the house was way too big for our family of five but we would definitely come back with more family this summer. Thanks for the quick trip!

Great Family Friendly Experience

Wonderful cabin with plenty of space! The down stairs pool table, bar and open area gave plenty of room for the glow-in-the-dark dance party. The fire pit is perfect for s’mores, roasting hotdogs and socializing. My children love the two toy closets and the board games they find while visiting. The stocked pond remains a family favorite no matter when we visit!

A Quiet Piece Of Heaven

The seclusion of this location was what sold us.This was the perfect place to get away for our family. The weather did not cooperate for us to enjoy the fish however that didn’t stop the kids from bundling up and hanging out on the paddle boat for hours. We lost track of time sitting on the porch just laughing and talking. The fire pit area was so nice. There was no shortage of blankets to wrap up in. Our only “issue” when traveling with our parents was the fact there was no bathroom on the top floor, however we all got in our exercise. The cabin was stocked with everything our kids needed to play with! Great memories were made which made for a great trip.

Relaxing private cabin

The cabin is extremely private. With tree cover no Nahbor houses can be seen . It feels like you are on the wild frontier but just minutes from town . The landscape is nicely kept . The pond has plenty of blue gill and bass to watch swim. Canadian geese and ducks land in it with the sun rise . The deck faces east and sun rise is a major bonus to property. Martin nests nearby make mosquito population almost non existent. Rabbits , humming birds and wild life all share the joy of the property with you and are fun to watch. Stove is commercial grade for entertaining guests. All beds in cabin are decent quality mattress . Basement is a nice cool hangout area with pool table , tv and couches . Patio with fireplace is very cozy and functional space . Can’t wait to come back .

Family vacation

The Mason family ( Oma and Grandps, 4 adult children and 5 yr old twin grands stayed for 4 nights. The grandchildren caught their fitst fish! The pond was a hig snd the huge front porch with swings and rockers was awesome. Since pictures from when first bookec a paved patio and firepit were added...and well used! We had a wonderful time. The AC was super cold on basement lrvdl and no vents ontop level, but doors were left open at top, and there was a space heater to warm up room in basemrnt before putting 5 yr olds to bed. In future improvements it would help to insulate between the floors. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Annual getaway

We've used this host twice, but outgrew the farmhouse. I found this larger cabin, then was pleased to find that it was the same host. This space was huge for our growing family (14 of us from 10 months to 71 years). We happened to be there during a cold snap, so didn't use the generous outdoor space, other than to admire the beauty of the landscape in the snow. The pool table got a lot of use. We found everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare our meals. Other than missing the animals at the farmhouse, the consensus was that they liked this one better. This trip was our annual getaway during the long MLK weekend. It's hard to predict a year out, coordinating 4 households, but I suspect we'll be back.

About the host

Hosted by Shane Bocock: Owner / Property Manager

Host profile image
Ever since they were kids, both Shane and Melissa spent a lot of time outdoor in the woods on family camping trips, hiking, canoeing and fishing. It was always their dream to do the same with their kids. In 2006, Shane and Melissa had their first child, a beautiful baby boy. They decided that Shane would quit teaching high school chemistry and stay at home to take care of their son. About the same time, Shane and Melissa purchased a 42 acre plot of land near Warsaw, Ohio. During the next three years, the Bocock Family grew with the addition of two daughters and they spent a lot of time hiking, fishing, picking berries, camping, relaxing and saving money. During this time, they also thought how nice it would be to build a cabin that Shane--while still staying home with the kids--could rent out, allowing others to enjoy the beauty of the property. With the state of the economy, the idea was both exciting and scary. However, in the spring of 2011, Shane and Melissa felt the time was right. They wanted to build something special that would add to the already unique property. The Woodbury Cabin was started in June of 2011 and finished by the end of October the same year. Within days of listing the cabin rental online, calls started coming in. By 2014, with all dates filling up yearly at the Woodbury Cabin, Shane and Melissa decided it was time to add another rental. They came across a farmhouse that bordered the Mohican Forest in early 2015. They immediately fell in love with it, bought it, and turned it into a nightly vacation rental called the Mohican Farmhouse. In 2017, The lodge at Babble Brook was purchased near Mohican State Park as the third secluded vacation rental with a private pond!

Why they chose this property

Once you arrive at the Lodge at Babble Brook, you will experience the country charm of this rural gem. With a private pond, barns and pastures, in the heart of Mohican Country, the Lodge at Babble Brook is a unique opportunity to experience the peace and quiet of country life while enjoying all the nearby attractions and activities!

What makes this property unique

There are so many favorites with the Lodge, it's hard to decide what to do when you get there. The 40ft covered front porch has rockers and a relaxing swing overlooking the pond. The pond always seems to sparkle in the sunlight. The great room is so open and tall and the giant stone fireplace and huge mantle is such a nice place to gather with family and friends. The loft is a comfy spot to sit and read. The kitchen is spacious and the bar makes it easy to lay out a "buffet."
