Escape the City • Weekend Getaway • Family Trips

This renovated 1900 farm house provides a fun, yet relaxing retreat perfect for busy families or groups of friends. Just a short drive to Hocking Hills, nestled on 3.5 acres wake up to the sights and sounds of nature. As the adults relax in the hot tub or back patio, the kids can explore the trails or chase bullfrogs in the pond! This getaway offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, w/d, a wrap around porch to watch the sunsets and so much more!



Inside, we welcome you to enjoy all the warmth and coziness of a traditional farmhouse with a modern flair. With luxury touches throughout including a large soaking tub that faces outdoors, this serene escape will leave you feeling at one with nature. And even enough for 10 at the dinner table, whether you’re looking for an escape alone or with family or friends, we’ve got you covered.

Outside, you have all 3.5 acres to yourself to hike and explore or simply enjoy the scenes of nature. After a day of hiking or fishing in our stocked pond, relax in the 6-person hot tub, enjoy the amber sunset from the porch swing or sit around the camp fire roasting s’mores.

Great place
Everything was nice and new. Outdoor area with hot tub was very nive and relaxing. There was woods on both sides hiding the yard away from neighbors. The pond was low but there were some fishies. Inside unfortunately there were quite a few bugs, stink bugs and harvest beetles. Other than that the place was very nice and I would book again.

Birthday in Lancaster
Spent a week at the property visiting and celebrating our grandson’s 4th birthday. We enjoyed everything about the house. The weather was cold and drizzly the whole week so we were inside a lot. Plenty of room and everything you need for a great stay. Beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the sectional in the living room. Kitchen had all the necessities. In the country but only about 10 minutes to town. Recommend this home to anyone visiting the area. The owners were wonderful, responding to all inquiries right away. We will certainly be staying here again.
