Definitely a hideaway

A cute cabin in the woods, has some quirks from a few creative DIY projects. Google Maps will not take you directly to the location of the cabin so it took some adventuring to find where we were supposed to be staying. It was an overall good experience .

French Bulldog row

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Rather than staying at a boring hotel I looked and found my first air b and b. We were in Ohio to attend the national French Bulldog show. Two other cabins also were there for the same reason. It was wonderful to be able to cook our own meals and “get away from it all” The kitchen was well appointed, with a lot of cooking essentials- a cariety of spices, utensils and even olive oil and cooking sprays. Next time I won’t have to bring so much! We could have used some instructions on using certain things- the fireplace , the Keurig. The queen sized pull out bed in living room? Never did figure that one out. I just assumed that “sleeps 4” meant 2 adults in the bedroom and two children on the living room couch we noted that there was no fire extinguisher and did not see any smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors a slat on the vertical blinds at the patio door fell off soon after our arrival. I could tell it had been repaired before as there was tape on the slat. I did not try to fix it again The overhead fan in the living room did not work. We trued the remote we found on the wall with no luck The spotlights outside for the patio area appeared to be burned out. We tried multiple switches and never could get those lights on. It would have been nice to have the whole backyard illuminated, as the surface was not level. we tried to use the gas grill, but it never heated up sufficiently Bottom line- we loved our stay

Cute cottage

Just what I needed for myself & my 2 dogs to relax. My unfamilarity with the streaming service prompted me to disconnect from my TV "addiction". The cabin's location was a perfect inbetween spot between Cincinnati & Springfield.

Visiting Ohio

Our trip was focused on Indian mounds in Ohio. This cabin was the perfect location for that trip. Easy to get around the area and an easy trip to Dayton. Cabin was clean with nice amenities. We loved the bottled water provided for coffee/tea and the fabulous fire pit in the yard. Made for lovely evenings by the fire.

Beautiful, clean and comfortable

We visited the area with our dog for a winter weekend R&R. The cabin was clean and very comfortable. We had a distant view of the lake. It was a short drive to the lake where we took our dog for walks. Really great communication with the owners. Highly recommended!

Cozy and welcoming

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It's very hidden, but we enjoyed that. It was clean and had everything we needed, plus a fenced yard for our dog. The trash panda is so cute and just hangs out on the tree in the back. There's no real view of the lake, too many trees. We did wish there would of been a path down but other wise we loved our stay.

This was a great place to hang out. Nice woodsy setting, quiet, easy to access and just a real homey cabin with everything you need. You could visit the nearby small towns and restaurants or were within 30 minutes of larger city amenities. Recommend a stay highly
