About this property

Come Enjoy Our Rural Setting And Fresh Local Food.

Perfect for a family get together, workshop retreat, or just a group of friends. We work with other farms and local producers to provide fresh and healthy farm to table meals and other handmade products, including complimentary soaps. We are 15-20 minutes from Athens and Ohio University. The house features two master bedrooms with private entrances, and two spacious lofts. All four rooms have queen or double beds with fresh linens, blankets, and fluffy towels. The west bedroom has an additional pull-out futon. The east side has an extra single bed. We can accommodate up to 10 people. Any additional visitors requires our pre approval. You will enjoy the large bathrooms with walk-in showers. Seasonally, there are chickens, pigs, cows and always the dogs to view on your hikes through our wooded trails. We offer a large grill on the back deck with a hot tub, and a fire pit for campfires. The house has a large common area with a fully stocked open kitchen, and laundry facilities including an ironing board. The wrap around deck is perfect for bird watching or just enjoying nature. You are invited to prepare your own breakfast with our eggs, pork products, and local dairy and baked goods provided for your enjoyment. The table seats up to 12. We will also cater events using fresh local food as much as possible.

Host profile image
We have been working toward providing a comfortable space for individuals or groups to come enjoy this rural setting from the onset. We provide facilities for groups, workshops and family gatherings, as well as the solo traveler. We have been in the Athens area for over 25 years, and enjoy meeting travelers, as well as getting out to see the country ourselves.

Why they chose this property

The property is at the end of a county road about 9 country miles, or about 20 minutes, from the city of Athens. We love the seclusion and quiet. The farm is a work in progress, with various projects going on all through the year. We are happy to show you what we are up to, or just leave you alone, as you wish.

What makes this property unique

This is an off grid property, where we believe in sovereign living. It's nestled in a wonderful community with adventures at your fingertips including artist studios, wineries, and great local music venues.
