Great weekend retreat
A fun, simply laid out, fairly private, well kept, up to date place that would be easy to spend alot of time at. The closed in porch and backyard made it easy to keep tabs on our dog. The hot tub was wonderful, the big firepit on the porch got plenty of use and the nice section of river behind the property I can see being tons of fun when its warmer. Excited to come back sometime

Great Property, near road
The property is really nice, great porch. The house is very close to route 36 so it can be quite loud on the porch with semis and farm equipment passing by. Political candidate signs stuck up at the entrance is also not a very welcoming start or a good look for a rental property. Otherwise, very clean and comfortable.

The Hidden Gem In Howard Ohio!
Our stay was from 09/07/24 to 09/10/24 This was a wonderful place to to get away from the stress of everyday life and enjoy some privacy and nature. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay and then some. My wife and I like to leave anywhere we stay as we found it , and everything was there and available to allow us to clean things as we went. We really enjoyed the swing by the river, and the fishing was excellent. Didn't get to try the kayaks due to it being a chillier than expected stay. But the hot tub and the fire pit, and the supplied board games filled our time. Great cabin, perfect setting and plenty to do. Just wanted to give a big "Thank You!" to Al and Sue for putting the time, money and effort into creating a space that allows people like us to reconnect with each other and enjoy nature. It was an excellent place for us to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. Thanks again, and we cant wait to return. Dave and Kim K.

We came to Ohio at the request of our son who chose that as his vacation spot. We really enjoyed the beauty of the state. The cabin was perfect. It had everything we needed and was exceptionally neat and clean. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and the kayaks. We found many things to do in the area and the weather was perfect. Many thanks to the hosts!!

Beautiful home & location.
The only thing which made us unhappy is the pictures of the water. Not current. We were prepared to fish but the area had overgrowth making casting and bringing in a if we caught one impossible.

This is the review you're looking for
The owners really went out of their way to think of the little things. They had relaxing music playing as we entered, firewood was layed out for us and all the little amenities provided so we needed minimal stuff from home. It was nice and clean and the property itself was amazing. We visited in March it was super cold and the heat wouldn't get up past 68 degrees inside the cottage which led to extra cooking and snuggling to help keep warm. We woke up every morning to 66 degrees inside. It's not quiet and is off a busy highway but those are the only downsides. I can imagine how beautiful this place would be in the spring/summer where you could really use the property for all that it has to offer. It's close to town but far enough away to feel like you're really in the middle of nowhere. No close neighbors and coming from the city we liked that very much. We do plan to return and we would recommend this when looking to stay in the area.
