The dogs and I had a very peaceful stay at Uncle Chuck's cabin! The highlights were the sunrises over the river, all the birds and birdcalls, the wood stove that kept the cabin very cozy at night and just all of the conveniences they provide! Anya gave me a mug before we drove down to the cabin that was such a nice gift. Chuck gave me instructions on how to use everything when I got there which was very much appreciated. Overall just a very peaceful stay with lots of beautiful scenery, wildlife and conveniences.

We needed a nice warm place to stay in late October & Chuck’s cabin was perfect! Chuck met us on arrival & showed us around the site. There is a generator for electricity to the microwave. The cabin was right by the river. Beautiful view! The wood burning stove was nice & toasty & Chuck has a nice dry supply of firewood behind cabin. The cabin is nicely decorated with fun fun & interesting signs. We left our fridge charger there & Anya was so kind as to mail it back to us! Highly recommend this place!!

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

We loved our stay at Uncle Chuck’s. The cabin had so many more amenities than expected, the bed was comfortable, and the property is beautiful. We caught lots of fish from the bank and enjoyed taking our kayaks out and building a fire. We went into the little town of Grand Rapids and found the cutest places! We are definitely going to share this property with our friends and can’t wait to make our way back!

Amazing clear views of the harvest moonrise

Chuck has a great place to relax and enjoy nature. We used it as a quick getaway from the city with our dog. It doesn’t take a lot of planning of packing to have a comfortable experience, Chuck provides pretty much anything you could need at the cabin. He’s a very thoughtful host and we will be coming back!

One of the most relaxing vacations I've ever had. We went on labor day weekend and it was so secluded we barely seen anyone else the whole trip. So relaxing just to sit by the fire looking over the river while hearing nothing but nature. They provide you with just about everything you need including firewood and propane. Highly recommended!

We visited again. It's always relaxing and the hosts responds whenever you text or call them. Chuck and his wife are friendly and even brought us fresh peaches from their trees! Our dogs loved the scenery and the swimming. You must go here! Everything you need is stocked. All you really need to bring is food and clothes. Thanks Chuck!

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

Uncle Chuck's cabin before the journey to it was already going to get a good review, how could it not? A private cabin with some essential comfort items next to a beautiful scene with ample recreation opportunity. Then we arrived and met Chuck. Chuck built an absolutely heavenly retreat. The craftsmanship of the cabin and outdoor utilities are beautiful and comfortable. We anticipated a traditional camping trip, except with a roof and four walls instead of a tent. We were wrong. The amenities provided on top of the comfortable setting really sealed the deal for what I'd interpret "glamping" to be. Ample firewood, charcoal, chairs, coffee, books, games, toiletries galore, and many more things I don't have enough characters to tell you about. The property offered splendid fishing opportunity, an excellent view, and perfect privacy. I could go on and on but let me tell you if youre considering a retreat to enjoy the Maumee River, look no further. A very kind, thoughtful, and skilled man will lead you to an awesome cabin for a trip you will surely enjoy. We will be back!
