Relaxation by the River

The cabin is very cozy and inviting. It's in a beautiful location along the river and felt secluded, even though access to stores and restaurants was not far away. It felt like a nature retreat. I wish I could have enjoyed the deck, hot tub, and view more. Unfortunately, it rained the entire weekend. My arrival was very warm and welcoming. Low lights were on, instrumental music was playing, and the owners were kind enough to have some lovely complimentary items waiting for me. Communication was responsive and thorough. Everything is well stocked and easy to locate thanks to very thoughtful labeling and instructions throughout the cabin. It is very apparent that the hosts wanted their visitors to feel at home. I certainly did. I really loved my stay and found it very relaxing. I would be happy to return in the future and hopefully be able to enjoy everything it has to offer.

Nice stay along the river

Was clean and had everything you would need. Nice fire pit and hot tub, with a short walk to the water in the back yard. Was easy to get to, and a short drive to restaurants and stores. Everything is exactly as advertised.We were especially surprised at the complementary pumpkin bread and wine left for us to start the weekend. That was definitely a first for us of all places we've stayed throughout Ohio.

Short, serene getaway

Had a pretty amazing week here with the wife, kid, and dogs. Sunsets on the back porch from the hot tub were incredible. Fully enclosed back porch was very helpful with the dogs. Overall the place was very baby and dog friendly.

Very relaxing

The property was as advertised. It was on a lazy river which was a wonderful backdrop for our hot tub sessions. The cabin was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return in warmer weather in order to take advantage of the kayaks.

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.
