Great stay
Great stay in a relaxed place. Beautiful remote home made for a great weekend retreat away from busy Cincinnati for my wife and me. Only hiccup was not having the check in code upon arrival. Possible I missed the email. After 10 to 15 minutes of trying to contact host and call Vrbo, I got the code, and all was fine.

Second time
We found this place three weeks ago and stayed there for a four day extended weekend. We like it so much we came back for another four days. The place is beautiful very clean comfortable and extremely secluded. My only regret is that we didn’t wait a couple more weeks for the leaves to change more. Who knows, maybe will go back in another three weeks!

Tranquility
The cottage is one of the most serene and tranquil places I imagine I’ll ever have the chance to visit. My wife and I have stayed on five separate occasions…and we keep coming back because of the calm and peace we have when visiting. If you are in need of unplugging and relaxation, you will not find a better location.

Wonderful Nature Getaway
I just took a quick 24 hour respite from Cincinnati to be in nature and I was not disappointed. It's like the whole house is the screened in porch to watch a meadow and woods. I walked to the Inn referenced in the right up and it was phenomenal, and I just really enjoyed the simplicity of it.

This cottage is simply incredible. The home itself is so nice and well appointed inside, and the property it sits on is amazing. Beautiful scenery, wildlife, the most gorgeous sunset, couldn’t ask for much more. We walked in and immediately said we will be coming back for more relaxation. So glad we found this property :)

The property was outstanding. Sitting on deck we saw lots of wildlife. Highly recommend this property for a nice getaway. My only negative is not having a contact number for the owner in case something happened . We did have email but responses were slow. We would definitely come back.

2nd Time
2nd time in a year we've stayed here. Wonderfully clean and bright and quiet, which was what we were looking for. Though it was not a fault of the property, next time we will choose a time of the year when walnuts weren't falling off the trees overnight, onto the metal roof, and then rolling off. A little disconcerting until we figured out what the noise was. A gem of a property. We'll be back.

Our stay was relaxing and the setting was pristine! Kudos to the owner/property manager for delivering a first-class experience for travelers to the area! We went to Serpent Mound, Miller’s complex, Adams Lake State Park, Blake’s Pharmacy and Meranda-Nixon Winery. Our favorite was sitting on the deck, rain and shine!
