You won`t run out of things to do. Then relax and unwind with a seasonal heated outdoor shower and peaceful patio to watch the sunsets and the abundant wildlife.

Located directly on the Kokosing River. One neighbor within view but are seasonal. Very quiet peaceful place.

Eagles are abundant in the winter and if you`re a birdwatcher this is the place for you.

Very comfortable Queen size Serta bed.

The double sliding doors offer a beautiful view of the river even from the bed and can be opened in the summer to offer the relaxing and calming sounds of the river.

Enjoy a movie or your favorite music on the outdoor tv or bluetooth speakers on the deck or enjoy a fire while watching the river.

You`ll have the whole place and property to yourself.

Honey Run Falls is within 5 mins and Kenyon college in Gambier is a short distance from the cottage.

This place was perfection for my husband and I. It was close to hiking and biking trails, right on the river with amazing fishing in the backyard, plenty of nearby dining, and peace and quiet. We will be back!
