Weekend Trip to Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

The host is so hospitable! They don’t come any nicer! There are trails to hike, animals to pet, and a creek to enjoy.

Weekend Trip to Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

Some friends and I took tent sites 1, 2, and 3 along the river with our sons, and it was great! We had a fantastic time, fishing and exploring the river. The hosts were attentive and accommodating. We would definitely go back.

3 nights at Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

We had a great time at Rusty's retreat. The hosts are fantastic people! The land is beautiful and peaceful. Listening to the creek at night is the best. My kids had a great time. Loved the dogs and all the animals. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again! Thank you for sharing your land!

Weekend Trip to Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

The property was beautiful and secluded. Our boys had so much fun!

2 nights at Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

We stayed on site 3 with our one year old and our dog for our first camping adventure since our baby was born. It was exactly what we needed—beautiful, peaceful, and also very convenient. Jay and Heather’s hospitality for a campsite was better than most Airbnbs I’ve stayed! If you’re daunted by lugging your camping gear into a spot marked “secluded”—don’t be. They helped us move everything we needed in a golf cart (and we brought a lot because of our baby). I loved birdwatching and listening. My husband loved fishing and walking in the river. Our baby loved to the ponies and Rusty. Our dog loved meeting another dog friend! We cannot wait to come back! Even if site 3 isn’t right for your family or setup, I guarantee you one of the other spots will be!

Fantastic hosts and location! So peaceful and relaxing! Great trails and waterfront property.

1 night at Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

This is a very nice location, and the hosts were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The camp sites are well thought out and designed as camp sites. This is not just parking in someone's back yard like some locations are. The hosts have put real effort into making a pleasant location. Highly recommend.

Had a great and peaceful time out here would recommend a friend. Very relaxing.

1 night at Barefoot Retreat

My stay was just a quick sleep and depart, but for the few hours I was there, I felt safe and my dogs had plenty of room to run around in. Although it was dark, it seemed very clean and peaceful. Would definitely stay again if given the opportunity.

Weekend Trip to Indian Lake Adventures

We had a great time glamping in our adorable Indian Lake tiny house! The grounds are well maintained and lovely, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. On the edge of the property is a brew pub with games, cozy seating indoors and out, fire pits, and sometimes even live music and food trucks, which was a pleasant surprise. House was well equipped with many essentials, too. Would definitely stay again!!

Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

13 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · West Millgrove, OH

We bought this 125+ year old farm in 2010 with the hope of bringing it back to life. Overgrown and neglected, we have worked hard to make it a nice place for hiking, kayaking, fishing or any number of other activities. Peaceful and remote, the property has a beautiful brook that leads you to the South branch of the Portage river. Deer, turkey, geese, herons, mink and fox are just a few of our natural animal friends. Rusty the steer and his pony friends Lexi and Little Bits can be visited while they graze in the pasture. There are chickens and Brindle the barn kitty. We have the perfect place for dogs as well. We have four dogs that get along great with others and our fenced pond keeps them safe.
