Host was wonderful
Had a great time with my family in what we called ā€œthe cabin in the woodsā€. When we were not at our tournament, we were able to relax and have fun family time there. They have many indoor and outdoor games and we enjoyed marshmallows at the fire pit. The host was very attentive and a pleasure to deal with.

Great place to stay.
Very clean and well taken care of, excellent location, quiet and peaceful. Great place to stay. Janel was very personable and helpful. This cabin has great history and is in a beautiful location. We enjoyed the area-Galion, Mt Gilead, and Marion as well as all the little towns in between. Our dogs were very happy with the fenced in area-very dog friendly. Thank you Janel! Hope to visit the cabin again.

Best Getaway Cabin
The pictures of this property do not do it justice. It was very peaceful. The host allowed us to bring our dog, and had snacks for us left out for when we arrived. There was outdoor games (I didn't know Yardtze was a thing, and not I want one!), indoor games, books and magazines. It was secluded enough to be peaceful, but still close to things in case you needed it (like Dollar General and Kroger). Also close to Mt. Gilead State Park. I would stay here again for SURE and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a cabin in this area.

Cabin in the woods
Very clean cabin. Was just what we needed and the owners were very responsive. Came down for a wedding and had plenty of room for all of us to get ready. Was a little chilly at night but we were all able to stat warn around the fire pit. Owners offered free firewood which was a pleasant surprise so we didn't have to pack it with us in an already crowded car. Would be staying here anytime we come in the area to see family.

Beautiful Setting
Nice setting with all the trees. We were not able to get it this year, but we prefer a cabin by the water. There was a smell in the cabin that stayed with us even when we got home from our trip. We like to open the windows and let the fresh air in, however not all the windows had screens on them. The 3 season porch was nice, but there again we would have preferred to open some windows. However, when we looked at the porch, from the pictures, we figured it did not have any screens on the windows. So we kind of knew this ahead of time when we booked. Enjoyed the fire pit and the supply of firewood.

Sisters' Getaway
Two of my sisters and I stayed at this amazing cabin for 3 nights. The cabin is so very clean, with an "open" floor plan and raised ceilings, which makes it seem airy and large...windows everywhere to let in lots of light...an amazing kitchen to cook in...beautiful flowers on the property...fenced-in yard for dogs (although our dog stayed home for this trip.) We went to the state park on our last day to walk around the lake by the dam -- the trails were lovely, and if you stayed on the paved path, not too hard. Other than that, we just stayed at the cabin, making new memories, recalling old ones--talking and laughing into the wee hours of the morning...It was a trip that we will remember always...

Quiet Retreat
The host was amazing and checked in on us during our stay. He was accommodating when I asked if my in laws could stay with us, made sure we had enough blankets! There were tons of inside and outside games for our enjoyment. Sitting outside by the fire pit was quiet, even though we didnā€™t build a fire. The only reason the cleanliness didnā€™t get 5 stars was due to spiderwebs, but it is that time of year.

Amazing Relaxing Cabin in the Woods...
I don't think I can find the right words to describe this place and do it justice. If you are looking for a peaceful, beautiful place to just chill out, or to unwind from stress in your life, I would highly recommend this cabin. It is beautifully decorated - and there are so many "homey" touches. When you first walk in, you enter through a sunroom with lights all around the ceiling. The two outside walls are windows, and you are surrounded by trees. This was my favorite place to read and to just unwind. And I can't say enough about the peace I felt, especially in the evenings with those little lights on. The "living area" is very large and spacious, the kitchen is modern and fully equipped, and the bedrooms are decorated beautifully. Outside there is a fountain, with a family of frogs living in the rocks. You can sit in the front, fenced-in yard (in case you have a dog) under the huge tree and hear the water from the fountain. There is also a fire circle - you can build a fire, sit under the trees, make s'mores and make so many amazing memories to take back home with you. The hostess is totally AWESOME!! She wanted to make sure that we had everything we wanted and/or needed. There are indoor and outdoor games - lots of stuff to do. Even if you bring kids along, there are so many things you can do, and everyone can have a vacation to remember. We will definitely be going back...

Cute little cabin-like house.
We didn't spend much time in the cabin, just slept. The place was cute, even though there wasn't much privacy with the bedrooms. Sheer curtains for doors and no ceiling in bedrooms. Had to tell others if getting dressed and no personal time with husband. A few of us had also never showered with sulfur water, that one was new for me... But overall was a really good experience, outside was beautiful and every morning we had a doe and her two babies in the yard playing and foraging.

A Little Slice of Heaven
This cottage was very clean, with a very modern kitchen. We had a peaceful vacation, which was just what we were looking for. It was decorated beautifully -- and had a lot of really homey touches. There was also cable tv and wi-fi. Not only was this cottage very roomy, but the hosts also provided DVD's, books, board games for the inside, plus multiple games for outdoors. There was also a hammock, if you should choose to relax that way, and a firepit. The property was surrounded by trees--it was very private. There was even a fenced-in yard for our dog. They have the most beautiful 3-seasons room (I call it a sunroom) that is decorated beautifully with lights all along the ceiling, with a beautiful chandelier -- and all the outside walls are windows, with trees right outside. (I don't even have words to describe the feeling of peace that I got from sitting in that sunroom! To me, it was the best part of our stay.) There is even a pond with a small fountain on the property, with a resident frog. The hosts live nearby and were very accommodating - we were told that if we needed anything at all to just ask. We were very comfortable staying there. We highly recommend this place, and plan to return again and again...
