Secluded 5-Acre Oberlin Escape · Saltwater Pool & 6-Person Hot Tub

  • Oberlin Getaway — Private 5-Acre Forest Retreat with Heated Saltwater Pool, 6-Person Hot Tub & EV Charging
    Welcome to Oberlin Getaway.
    This isn't a cookie-cutter rental. It's a fully renovated 4-bedroom retreat on 5 private wooded acres where the nearest neighbor feels miles away and the loudest thing you'll hear is birdsong in the morning and fire crackling at night. Genuine seclusion. Resort-quality amenities. Zero compromise.
    Whether you're here to completely unplug, host a family reunion, celebrate a milestone, recover from a grind, or base camp for the best of Northeast Ohio — this property delivers at a level most rentals simply can't match.

    THE OUTDOOR SETUP IS THE MAIN EVENT
    Most properties have a patio. This one has a resort.

    Heated 20'x40' saltwater pool — open April through September. Saltwater is easier on your eyes, skin, and hair, and this pool is kept in immaculate condition year-round
    6-person hot tub — open year-round. Cool Ohio evenings hit different from a hot tub with the tree line overhead
    Breeo Smokeless Fire Pit with sear plate for cooking over the fire — firewood included. Pull up the chairs and let the night run long
    Completely private outdoor space — no shared amenities, no neighbors peering over fences, just your group and 5 wooded acres


    FIVE ACRES OF WOODED SECLUSION
    This isn't a subdivision lot dressed up with landscaping. It's a genuine forest retreat.

    Complete privacy from neighbors on all sides
    Mature wooded acreage ideal for morning walks, birdwatching, or simply breathing
    Abundant space for families and groups to spread out and decompress
    A setting that makes you forget you have a phone


    THE HOUSE — SPACIOUS, RENOVATED, AND READY
    Fully updated raised ranch with modern finishes throughout. Four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and enough common space for a group of 8 to coexist without anyone feeling crowded.
    Bedrooms — all queen beds:

    Bedroom 1: Main level, easy access to primary living areas
    Bedroom 2: Main level, shares floor with primary bath
    Bedroom 3: Lower level, quiet and private — ideal for light sleepers
    Bedroom 4: Lower level, great for families wanting a separate kids' zone

    The rest:

    Living room with flat-screen Smart TV and comfortable seating for movie nights or game day
    Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances — plenty of space for group cooking
    In-unit washer and dryer
    Central AC and heat throughout
    Two full bathrooms


    REMOTE WORK READY

    435 Mbps Wi-Fi throughout the home
    Dedicated workspace for productive stays
    Forest seclusion plus reliable connectivity — a combination that's genuinely hard to find


    ECO-FRIENDLY AND EV-READY
    One of the few vacation rentals in Northeast Ohio built for the way forward.

    Solar powered home — stay comfortably and tread lightly
    On-site EV charging — arrive, plug in, wake up to a full charge every morning


    LOCATION — NORTHEAST OHIO'S BEST HOME BASE
    Oberlin is a charming college town anchored by the world-renowned Oberlin College and Conservatory — walkable, cultural, and worth exploring. From the property you're also perfectly positioned for everything Northeast Ohio offers:

    Downtown Cleveland & Hopkins Airport — 45 minutes
    Cedar Point, Sandusky — 45 minutes (roller coaster capital of the world)
    Cuyahoga Valley National Park — 50 minutes
    Lake Erie shoreline — short drive to beaches and lakefront towns
    Oberlin College campus and town center — minutes away, ideal for campus visits and alumni weekends

    Parking: Ample free driveway parking for multiple vehicles — no street parking, no permits, no hassle.

    PET FRIENDLY
    Five acres of wooded property is basically a dog's paradise. Pets are welcome — simply add your pet when booking so we can prepare the home for everyone's comfort.
    Pet fee: $100

We stayed in this secluded 5-acre getaway - 4 adults and one 3 year old. The place is in a great location, close to the center of Oberlin as well as North Ridgeville. Plenty of nice breakfast places in Oberlin. The house has a large, open family/living area which is perfectly suited for children and family conversation. Plenty of space for everyone. The host was extremely accommodating and responsive - very easy to work with. Would stay in this location again.

perfect family getaway

This property was the perfect family getaway! The pool was so much fun and my daughter who is still learning to swim just loved it. The fire pit and hot tub were great for the evenings. Not a far drive to town, stocked with all the essentials and we could bring our pets-exactly what we needed. Host (Steve) was great to work with and communicate with. I’d recommend this place to anyone!

Oberlin trip

We booked the house for a weekend trip to visit our son at Oberlin. We had a full crew with us, including our other son and his girlfriend, my parents, and even our dogs. The house worked great for the crew, with plenty of space for everyone. The yard and outdoor space, especially, are phenomenal for hanging out on warm, late summer evenings. While it's not in Oberlin proper, it's an easy 5 minute drive to downtown and campus. Loved our stay at the house!

Beautiful home.

The house is beautiful and in a great location. We enjoyed our stay. Steve was easy to communicate with prior to the stay. The only negative comments I can make are the kitchen can use a few other pieces of dishes and a cutting board. The cleanliness of the house needed some attention. Unfortunately that left a bad impression on us.

Perfect private paradise!

Steve is awesome! Responds to questions immediately. The yard and landscape are so peaceful and beautiful. Recurrent visits from bunnies and deer. Tons of birds. The fireflies at night are amazing. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. Outdoor speakers made it easy to connect your playlists to. The firepit on the deck made for a perfect conversation spot. Inside had lots of rooms to offer friends and family to stay overnite. The large table housed many game nights. Definitely one of the best VRBOs I have ever stayed. Already talking about rebooking.

Great family house and property close to Oberlin College

Our family from Washington and California traveled out to Oberlin for our nephew/son’s recital at Oberlin. This house was great! Very close to the college and so easy get to not only enjoy the recital but also to pop over to visit when his schedule allowed. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. We all said we could picture staying here when it was warmer, enjoying the fire pit and hanging out around the pool. Inside was very clean and had everything we needed. The large kitchen was the central hub when we were there but everyone also had their own spaces as needed. The house itself is a little bit older but has been remodeled in the bathrooms and kitchen in ways that make it both comfortable but also like going to stay at a home that has been in the family and that still has its own personality. I would definitely recommend this house and very responsive host. We talked about maybe booking it again for graduation next year and it is already reserved so you know it is a great find!

Nice place, even in winter

We were in town in winter, for a funeral, so not the usual vacation rental. It took us a bit to find it because Google Maps shows a different property a few houses down the street. Follow the host directions and you'll be ok. The internet was recently changed, so the sheet in the house was not accurate, but the Vrbo instructions worked. The listing is slightly misleading in that, with 4 bedrooms (2 up, 2 down) I assumed one bathroom on each floor (the listing does not say where they are). Both bathrooms are on the main floor, so those staying in the lower level need to come upstairs for a bathroom. There was an unexpected snowfall, so we appreciated the obvious snow shovel on the deck. The location is very convenient to both Oberlin and Cleveland airport. As a host, Steve was in touch and very responsive.
