A charming place at a magical time

We enjoyed the trip immensely, as it had everything that we were looking for and so much more. The lake was beautiful, the swings were fun, the campfires were relaxing, the wood stove was delightful (and hot!), the cave was magical, the woods were mysterious, and the cabin itself was just so comfortable. The entire area was practically perfect, as if we had imagined it ourselves. The caretakers provided us with everything that we could possible want: firewood, eggs, WiFi, soap, and more firewood; they were very pleasant and accommodating, while not being intrusive. We spent much of our time checking out the local attractions and exploring the environs, but we could have just huddled up at the cabin all day, every day, it was that cozy and enjoyable. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a similar experience.

Loves this place !

The property is absolutely beautiful, we truly enjoyed our short stay. Nestled in the hilly woods , very peaceful and quiet , owners on site and very helpful. This place is truly a hidden gem. You can make a fire , enjoy the scenery of the woods/hills, go on a hike and it feels like you have the whole place to yourself. We will definitely come back when it’s warmer with the kids to enjoy the canoeing and lake. We love this place ! Thanks Doug and Jenn!

Peaceful time in a beautiful place

This is a stunning property hosted by some great people. I have no complaints and it was very difficult for us to leave. Romantic setting with no other houses/cabins within view which is exactly what we wanted. The wood stove provided cozy vibes. Nothing about this place felt run down and was very clean and well kept

About the host

Hosted by Doug McGlumphy and Jennifer Greer

Doug McGlumphy and Jennifer Greer have been married for 30 years and enjoy working and developing our family farm. Doug works as an artist and educator while Jennifer works as an academic advisor. Both enjoy raising their two sons and passing on the property's history to the next generation.

Why they chose this property

Our farm is located on 300 acres of rolling farmland in the Stucky Valley, of Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Originally settled in the 1830's by the Moomaw family, the farm was purchased in 1903 by Doug's great-grandparents, German farmers, Jacob and Emma Hisrich. It has remained in our family for over 117 years.

The farm subsequently passed down to Doug's grandparents, Laura and Vernon Hisrich who lived, raised a family and farmed the property for many decades. After their deaths the main house, outbuildings and land remained underutilized for many years and fell into decline until we purchased them, along with Doug's parents, Ed and Pat (Hisrich) McGlumphy in 1997.

In addition to the built environment, the farm consists of approximately 50% tillable land and 50% woods. In an effort to preserve the property as farmland, a local farmer uses the fields to plant crops for his dairy farm. The remainder acts as a bird sanctuary, as well as habitat for local wildlife.

We enjoy our farm and its family history and invite you to come and enjoy its peacefulness and tranquility with us. It is a labor of love and continues to be an ever-evolving endeavor. There is always something new to look at with each subsequent visit as we always have a new project in the works.

What makes this property unique

The property also includes a historic 1825 log house (VRBO 489786), contemporary log house (VRBO 2213954), and farmhouse (VRBO 2131667) available for rental through VRBO. If rented together all houses offer a great opportunity for extended family or friends to vacation with each other while maintaining social distancing but enjoying the great outdoors.

The cabin and rural setting offers a truly unique experience for couples or a family to get away and relax. We even have a baseball field, hiking trails and an art gallery nearby. Come and enjoy!
