Amazing Property

This was an amazing property with great owners. Dallas and his wife were great and so was their dog Finn. The animals on the property were a plus and it was so much fun feeding them everyday. Cannot wait to go back.

Cutest little cabin.

Dallas was an amazing host! The cabin was super clean and had everything we needed! The added bonus was the "petting zoo" they have on the property. We will 100% be staying here again on our next trip!

Awesome Adventure

Over the last 5-7 years of coming to the great state of Ohio, I’ve stayed in many different places. Dallas and his Hospitality is by far the most welcoming experience I’ve had of any extended stay over the years. His Cabin and secluded retreat is not comparable to others. In coming years, I have no desire to stay anywhere other than there.

Best VRBO Stay in years

We stayed a few nights at Dallas’s cabin and it was genuinely one of the nicest places I’ve stayed in a long time. He’s incredibly kind and supplies everything you could need, exceptional cleanliness, and even offers kayak rentals. Getting to feed the farm animals was something I did not expect but was a very welcome addition, as was sitting outside with Finn the dog. If I could rate the stay over 5 stars I would. Genuinely incredible location.

Hiking-fishing

It’s a beautiful place. Very relaxing dock to hangout and fish from. There’s a creek as well. Fun watching the animals, and you can interact with some of them as well. Cozy little cabin and clean. Plenty of places near by to hike at, beautiful area all around. Very nice couple, treated us like family. Will definitely go back again.
