Blue Creek Hunting Retreat 3BR/2BA Near Shawnee State Forest
Welcome to Blue Creek Hunting Retreat, a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in rural Blue Creek, Ohio. Located in Adams County and convenient to Shawnee State Forest and other public hunting and recreation areas, the home is an ideal base camp for hunters, hikers, fishermen, outdoor enthusiasts and families looking to explore this beautiful corner of Ohio.
*A Comfortable Place to Come Home To*
This isn't a bare-bones hunting cabin or a cramped motel room. You'll have an entire home where your group can spread out, cook meals and relax together.
The heart of the house is the large, open living area. Settle into the comfortable sectional after a long day outdoors, catch the game on TV, plan tomorrow's adventure or simply enjoy some downtime with your group.
The living room flows directly into the kitchen and dining area, creating one large gathering space where everyone can spend time together.
The full kitchen offers plenty of counter and cabinet space along with a large island and bar seating. Make a hearty breakfast before heading out at daylight, pack lunches for the day or come home and cook dinner without having to find a restaurant.
It's an especially nice feature for longer stays and groups traveling together.
*Room for Everyone to Recharge*
With 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, there's plenty of room to settle in.
The spacious primary bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, TV and sitting area — a quiet place to relax at the end of the day.
A second bedroom features two separate twin beds, an ideal arrangement for hunting buddies, friends or kids who want their own sleeping space.
The third bedroom provides another private and comfortable place to recharge for the next day's adventure.
Having two full bathrooms makes traveling with a group much easier, especially when everyone is trying to get moving early in the morning.
The roomy primary bathroom includes double sinks, a large vanity, separate walk-in shower and deep soaking tub. After a long day hiking or sitting in the woods, you may find that soaking tub becomes one of your favorite amenities.
The second full bathroom features a tub/shower combination and provides convenient access for guests staying in the additional bedrooms.
*Made for a Southern Ohio Hunting Trip*
Hunters will feel right at home here.
Blue Creek sits among the wooded ridges, hollows, creek bottoms and rolling Appalachian terrain that make Southern Ohio such a popular hunting destination.
The home provides a convenient base for exploring Shawnee State Forest and other public hunting opportunities throughout Adams County and the surrounding region, including Brush Creek State Forest and Tranquility Wildlife Area.
Come for archery season, deer gun season, spring turkey or simply a weekend in the woods with friends.
Get up before daylight, make coffee and breakfast in your own kitchen and head out for the day. When you're finished, come back to the house, get cleaned up, make dinner, stretch out in the living room and swap stories about the day's hunt.
Then get a good night's sleep and do it all over again.
Please note: Hunting is not offered on the rental property itself. Guests are responsible for verifying current seasons, licenses, regulations, boundaries and public-land access with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
*There's Plenty to Do Beyond Hunting*
Blue Creek is a great destination even when hunting isn't on the agenda.
Spend your days hiking through the hills of Southern Ohio, fishing, paddling, wildlife watching or taking a scenic drive through Adams County.
Explore the forests and trails around Shawnee, discover the area's nature preserves and overlooks, visit Ohio Brush Creek or take a drive through the surrounding Amish countryside.
This part of Ohio moves at a different pace. You'll find winding country roads, wooded hills, farms, small communities and plenty of opportunities to simply get outside.
It's a wonderful home base for a hiking weekend, fishing trip, family getaway, outdoor adventure or a few quiet days away from the noise and crowds of everyday life.
Better Than a Motel. More Comfortable Than Camp.
That's really what makes Blue Creek Hunting Retreat special.
Your whole group can stay together. You have room to spread out, a full kitchen for your meals, two bathrooms for busy mornings and comfortable spaces to relax when the day is done.
Whether you're chasing a Southern Ohio whitetail, heading out for spring turkey, exploring Shawnee State Forest or simply looking for a peaceful getaway in the hills, you'll have a comfortable place waiting for you at the end of the day.
Come explore Southern Ohio — and make Blue Creek your home base.
