About this property
Laurentius' Cabin on a Koi Pond
Escape to this lovely cabin in picturesque Athens. This adorable retreat features a cozy living room with 1 queen bed and 2 twin loft beds, perfect for a small group of guests. Relax with the whole family at this peaceful cabin overlooking a koi pond. Stay in a truly unique, small home style with a porch view of 30 acres of forest creeks, hills and wildlife. Explore the trails and experience nature conveniently near the lively culture and arts town of Athens, Ohio, and Ohio University.
Please feel free to walk the trails and see the nature, but also be aware that it is mostly untamed nature and that your exploration is at your own risk.
This cabin is cozy and comfortable with great nature views, especially from the porch.
** We keep our cabins clean and tidy. However, they are located in a forest, and occasionally, insects visit them. We do not use pesticides as the residual chemicals of using them are likely to cause harm to our guests and nature, where as the insects are not. Please be aware of this, as we do not offer refunds for the presence of nature.
*** Because of the surrounding geography the wifi connection is unpredictable.

About the host
Hosted by Evan Binkley
My family and I are artists. I'm originally from Ohio, and my wife is from Hong Kong. We lived in NYC, Hong Kong, and now Ohio. We also spend a lot of time in Hokkaido, Japan. We love culture, travel and most of all creating things. These cabins on this land is one of our dreams. We've poured our souls into building them from nothing. We really hope you enjoy them and the beautiful forested land, hills and rock formations that surround them.
Why they chose this property
Our location is a 10 minute drive from OU and uptown Athens, but it feels like you are far out in the wilderness. Quite unusually for Appalachian Ohio, there are all kinds of shopping, restaurants, and other amenities in town and around it. Biking, hiking, parks and cultural happenings are nearby. Live music happens in a variety of venues on an almost nightly basis. Athens has three micro breweries and the brewery Little Fish is almost at the end of our road. The Plains, which is also quite close, has some of the above as well.
What makes this property unique
Nature, comfort and unique design. This cabin is cozy and comfortable with great nature views, especially from the porch.
