Shady Owl Ranch is a 18 acre non-profit animal sanctuary with dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and turkeys. The cats and poultry are free range so if you are fearful of chickens, ducks or turkeys, you probably shouldn't stay here. 😁 Owners Chuck and Amanda moved from Northern California and re-established their rescue here in Central Ohio. We have two finished studio cabins. They are very close (2 miles) to the town of Mount Vernon, OH with hiking trails on the property. Pets are allowed but there are free range animals on the property so their safety is priority. We have added a 2 acre fenced in area for dogs off leash. It's our version of a Dog Park. Plenty of bike trails around town and only 20 miles to Mohican State Park. Farm fresh eggs from our rescued chickens and local honey are available for purchase. Money from our vacation rental helps with feeding our rescue animals and expanding our non-profit animal sanctuary.

Work your game at one of the courts or relax on the sands of a 1,700-ft beach, the choice is yours. Waterfowl hunting is a boon in this area, though you will have to win your hunting permit on a lottery basis. Whether you're looking to hook some spring saugeye or rev your boat with unlimited horsepower along the reservoir, we have a sneaking suspicion you won't get bored in this plush locale.

Listen for the chirp of native songbirds at Mt. Gilead State Park, where leafy canopies and forest floors covered with wildflowers may trick you into thinking you're Snow White. This charming 181-acre park is small, but all the more welcoming for it. Lap your rowboat around the 32-acre lake, then cast a line for some delicious bass or bluegill. Seven bridle trails cater to you and your horse's needs in mind, and a surprising number of sport courts will definitely keep you in shape. With a smile and a song, we have a feeling these park grounds will feel simply magical.

What an amazing spot & amazing time. Robert & Maria do such an awesome time taking care of the spot, it really is an oasis in Bellefontaine, even the bathroom situation is spotless. I 100% recommend! I went solo this time, but I'll definitely be back with my kids! My only gripe is that Robert didn't invite to come hunting with him on the property. 😆 I documented my time at Grey Oaks on YouTube, you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1bmq5Od9hs

Love this place. So quiet but close to many activities in the area. The cabin is so adorable and the hosts are wonderful people. So nice that they established this rescue for animals with their property. Their farm fresh eggs they offer are so good. Definitely will plan a trip or 2 back. More to explore. Thank you Chuck and Amanda for sharing

The cabin was perfect! Highly recommend it. The host did a great job with the place. Gives a good detailed layout of the property and places to visit in a book. Also fun with all the different animals on the property the host owns.

Host/hostess are very helpful and nice. I recommend you read pre-arrival instructions before arriving. If it’s going to be dark when you’re arriving, make sure you have a big flashlight to use when you’re going to the cabin. The stovetop is manually lit without the “clicking” of a pilot. I suggest putting the burner on low. The surrounding area has a full service grocery store and a few fast and fast casual restaurants within 2 miles. Finally, beware of the free range Turkey. They will lounge behind your vehicle and will not leave. We just drove around them to get out. Overall, we enjoyed the quiet and peaceful setting of the cabin. We would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a good retreat or recharge trip. The honey and eggs were delicious and worth adding to the trip. The unlimited firewood would be great for a longer stay, but wasn’t valuable for what was a little more than one night stay because of our last minute trip.

Host were quick to respond to requests and questions. Cabin was Soo cute and perfect amount of space for us (2 adults and 1 older kid). Having the option for AC and a real bed is what I needed to relax and get away from "life" but also cook on the fire and sit by the water. Turkeys do get close and that was awesome. Would love to go back in every season! Thanks for a cool unique stay!

A lil overnight getaway in the Conifer Cabin was just what we needed. We fished the pond, had a small fire, listened to the sounds of nature, played card games, and most of all enjoyed the peacefulness. Cabin is private and serene with surrounding woods and best of all…it’s in total privacy. We loved it! Can’t wait to book again in the future! The animals were definitely an added bonus! ☺️

Absolutely LOVELY place to stay. There's various farm animals to watch and interact with, along with some eggs and honey for sale. Both the eggs and honey are so tasty. The hosts are wonderful people and very easy to talk to. We've stayed two summers in a row and absolutely will be staying there again in the future. Can't recommend them enough if you're staying in the area 💕
