About this property

Solar Eclipse Epic View! The treehouse guest house. Where the bison roam...

Monday, April 8th - experience the total solar eclipse at this country property with open sky views. We will provide 2 sets of eclipse viewing glasses to the 2 lucky guests who book with us Saturday - Monday April 8th.
According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, our location will be within the path for solar eclipse totality. https://ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/see-the-sights/solar-eclipse-2024.

A rustic yet luxurious hideout, 30 feet above the ground, nestled within the trees of an exquisite 150 acres of rolling hills and ever-changing meadows.

We call this property The Bird House. This is a one bedroom, one bath cottage nestled 30ft into the tree line. Large picture windows and a private porch that overlook the trees where this one room cottage rests. Picturesque views of the nearby meadows where you can often sight our family owned bison grazing in the nearby pastures. This well appointed cottage includes two twin beds, a coffee and tea bar, a stocked wine refrigerator stocked (available for additional purchase) as well as a small private bathroom with toilet, single sink and shower.

Guests of the property have access to the walking trails that wind along creeks, through forests, ponds, meadows and the bison pastures. Bison pastures are for viewing pleasure only and guests are restricted from entering these pastures for safety reasons. This is a wonderful getaway for wildlife fans who want to see bison roaming in their habitat as well as so many other Ohio native animals and birds.

The birdhouse guest house is ideal as a quiet couples getaway. We are not set up for families or people traveling with pets due to the serene environment we have created. The guesthouse is not wheelchair accessible, and this property is adjacent to our family home. Guests will enter through the back porch steps of our home and walk along the back porch and over a high walkway bridge to access the private cottage. 

Please note: there are no blinds or curtains, most guests prefer to wake up with the sunrise and enjoy the vast country views. Wifi is not reliable - this is a very rustic setting that sometimes includes visits from bugs and critters since the home is quite literally set within trees. 11pm to 8am is quiet time.

This is a truly unique experience, and one of the most beautiful views in all of Ohio. “To wake up to a sunrise, where are you enjoy your morning coffee and watch the sunrise from the porch that overlooks bison grazing in the field – it’s truly one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had “

We are centrally located 30 minutes west of downtown Columbus, and just 7.5 miles to downtown London where you will find antique and gift shops, bike trails and restaurants. 17 miles to Springfield, Oh where you can go antiquing, dining or visit Frank Lloyd Wrights Westcott House, and just 30 miles to Yellow Springs for great hiking and biking trails at John Bryant State Park, wonderful artisan shops and dining - a great day trip.

Amazing Getaway!
My hubby and I were in Ohio for a wedding. I am so glad I looked into a VRBO and found this adorable little 'treehouse'. Communication with Laura was fast and easy. It was such a treat to sit on the porch in the evenings listening to nature and sleeping with the windows open. We slept in til 11am one morning- that's a first! We loved the views of the rolling hills and the property. We took an evening walk and had a couple of surprise visitors join us...their adorable dogs! Seeing the Bison along our walk was a bonus. Thank you Laura and John for making this 'birdhouse' available for everyone to enjoy. Hopefully we can stay there again someday.

Perfect Little Bird House
This is the coziest little nest up in the trees! It was amazing to wake up to a lovely sunrise view and hear the birds and be one with nature! The Hardesty family was most welcoming, and I enjoyed seeing the herd of bison in their pasture. What unique creatures. Top quality linens and very comfy beds. There are two twin beds. I was attending a conference nearby so unfortunately didn't have the time to explore the trails but this would be a great place to relax and rejuvenate.
