Heaven on Earth

This place was absolutely perfect in every way! From the moment we pulled into the drive we were in love. The drive to the cabin displayed a tree canopy, the cabin had everything we needed and in great, clean condition. I definitely over packed. The inside was little, but perfect for us. The outside view was breathtaking and we could view it from the entire back of the cabin. Sliding glass doors with screens even in the bedroom over looked the private lake. We was able to paddle the boat across the lake to the swim area where we enjoyed the Pavillion and swing. We fished and caught a huge catfish and a few sun fish. I should warn you not to hang your fish on a stringer because the ginormous turtles will eat them lol. The beavers visited every evening and entertained us. Every corner of the land had a different view and wildlife to keep us in awe. We never left the cabin because there was so much to do there. Hiking, hot tub, fire pit, grill, fishing, bird watching, nature watching, and best of all..no bugs! We definitely didn't want to leave. Thank you Andy for allowing us to experience this little piece of heaven. My mom had just passed in December and my husband has medical issues that prevent him from enjoying much in life these days. It's the first time in a very long time that I saw him smile and be at peace. We hope to visit again.

Secluded nice get away

We had a great time at the cabin. My husband and I stayed for 5 days. We didnt leave the property and didnt see a single person the whole time. The view is amazing and the property had plenty to do with the water and all the wooded trails. The only negative is the biggest bed at the cabin is a full size bed. If that doesnt bother you I would definitely book this cabin if you want aome peace and quiet.

Beautiful property, not easy with motorcycle

We loved this property! But the drive in was difficult on a motorcycle because of loose gravel and narrow lanes. Also, we could not carry firewood on the bike back to the cabin and wished there was firewood available at the cabin to use. Otherwise, the property is perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway. Highly recommend!

Small cabin by a Gorgeous lake

We enjoyed our summer weekend getaway by the lake. The cabin is set near the most beautiful lake, has a huge deck overlooking the lake, but the cabin itself is rather small. Pros: Beautiful, private lake all to yourself. Nice picnic area on the other side, great fishing and boating. Huge deck overlooking the lake. Outdoor grill is fairly new. Nice fire pit area near the lake. The cabin feels secluded, but is actually very close to the town in case you need supplies. It was a clean property, well maintained. Internet was fast and TV had all the channels one would want. Cons: The cabin is very small. The deck is probably larger than the cabin itself. Kitchen appliances are definitely compact-sized, was challenging to cook anything. I assume one can sleep 6 there, but it would be a tight fit for sure. We were lucky to have very nice weather as we would have not enjoyed being stuck inside. Also, both propane tanks provided were at least 75% used, barely made it work.

Like having our own private lake and park!

This was our first truly secluded vacation. It was utterly peaceful and fun. The trails were great for an activity. The firepit was great by the water and we all enjoyed cruising around in the boat. The property was very clean and everything was in good working order. We brought lots of food and had ourselves some great meals at the outdoor dining table. And best o of all, they're were very few bugs to bother our picnic and literally no mosquitoes. Quite a lot of butterflies and dragonflies! Super place. We'd stay again!

Peaceful and secluded cabin

This is such a perfect little cabin tucked away in the woods, with 2 nice decks overlooking a beautiful pond with turtles and fish swimming about. I loved sipping my coffee in the morning, all awhile listening to the birds and frogs.My boys stayed with me and they said it was definately one of their favorite cabins we had booked. We didn't use the hot tub, because it was hot and humid outside. The cabin came with a paddleboat and canoe also, but we didn't end up using the paddleboat. We did try the canoe, which was in need of some repairs. There was screws coming out, and one of the middle benches was coming off, and canoe had a small hole at the top, but it was high enough to where no water could get in. We canoed across the lake, but was not great with the rowing, and the humidity just wore us out, so we didnt stay out long. We were able to catch a few crappies in the pond. This cabin is not far from grocery stores, dining, and just about 25 minutes away from HockingHills Ohio. Thank you for letting us stay at your cabin, we loved the stay!!

Place is awesome!

Fishing was pretty good for bass and crappie, place has everything you need or want. Hot tub and your own private trails were fantastic. The peddle boat was good for fishing and cruising around. We did not see a single person while staying there and only heard the birds chirp and the owls hoot.

True to relaxation as promised!

Such a sweet cabin backed up to a beautiful lake. Very serene, we loved the place. Could use a little freshening up, i.e. area carpets, curtains, some attention to cooking pans, boat. The hot tub was such an enjoyable experience, well kept, clean. So nice to have some provisions, coffee, tea, flour, sugar, etc. Very, very thoughtful. Just 3 miles to small town for pizza or supplies. Otherwise felt like we were pleasantly secluded, which was the plan. Great instructions, no need to contact Andy with issues. Thank you for a great stay!

The best weekend getaway

My partner and I took a trip here for the weekend close to Christmas. The area is so quiet and secluded. We stopped for pizza on the way at mamma renies and it was 10/10. Watched the sunrise through our bedroom window and got coffee up town. The trails were an added bonus even though hocking hill is only 25 min away. The weekend was perfect for us and will definitely stay again!
