Weekend Trip to Sawdust FarmCamp
Another great getaway at Adrienne and Morgan's tent. We brought our Mr. Heater in for the cold nights ...it was nice to sleep again on such a comfy foam mattress, with enough blankets to keep us both warm after shutting off the heater for the rest of the night. Just like last time, we found the area incredibly peaceful, aside from the occasional plane overhead and what sounds like farming equipment in the distance. We could hear the creek/small stream in the ravine more this month than we did in early April last year; it's very soothing. You don't hear or see any person while at the tent, even when people are staying at the cabin. The site feels secluded. The hosts were very responsive and made sure our stay was a comfortable one and that we had everything we needed. The composting toilet is super convenient; note that there is no outdoor shower yet. Be sure to message the hosts for updates on that. The one load of firewood included was enough for our two night stay as there's plenty of sticks and twigs around to use along with it. More than enough drinking water is provided. Cell service is really good, so no worries getting connected when you need to. This trip was during Memorial weekend and temperatures were fairly comfortable during the day with very few bugs. Pretty much all we saw and heard were birds. Enjoy the barred owls going back and forth at night and early in the morning. It's about a 15-minute trip if you need to leave the site to grab food, ice, etc.

Words can’t explain how perfect Cherry Valley Chill was for our family! Troy let us know everything we needed to know before arriving, and was great with communication during our stay. His wife Danelle welcomed us when we arrived, and she was so kind. We had a fire started and special touches throughout that made our trip better than we could have imagined.
There was plenty of space in the cabin area for two people and two dogs, and easily could fit more too. There is a platform that fit our queen size air mattress perfectly, as well as two bunks that can be used for additional sleeping space or storage. It was chilly and rainy for our first two days but with the wood fired stove we were warm, happy and dry. The provided wood was the perfect amount for our 3 night stay, and Troy reached out to ask if additional wood was needed so it’s nice to know the option is there! The counter space is great, and we also brought our camp kitchen that fit with plenty of room to spare by the door so we could vent while cooking. There is a cooler built into the countertop, as well as a black stone outside too, we didn’t use these as we brought our own as part of our usual set up. There also is a nicely sized hammock that we didn’t get a chance to break out, but it looks so comfy! They have solar hooked up to lighting inside and outside of the cabin as well as the toilet area and the short walk there. The toilet is simple but clean and spacious. You can tell this place was built with love.

Weekend Trip to Hemlock & Hobbit Forest
We absolutely loved our stay, it was the perfect weekend away from the city. The cabin was more spacious than I expected and very clean. The bed was surprisingly comfortable and cozy. Our host, Melissa was amazing! She greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the area and offered recommendations of things to do. She even stopped by the next day to make sure we had everything we needed.

Weekend Trip to Hemlock & Hobbit Forest
We had a great time in Melissa's cabin. She was able to switch our reservation to another building as the one I booked had storm damage. We enjoyed the fire pit and string lights she has set up on a crisp evening along with a visit from one of her cats. Loved the water gallon, kettle, mugs, tea, and chocolates, umbrella in the cabin along with queen bed and futon. In the morning, we went to see her chickens, pigs, and peacocks on the property. There is another tiny cabin being built next door that would be nice for group stays once it is available.
We enjoyed seeing all the unique homes nearby while heading over to CVNP for hikes at Kendall Lake, Salt Run, Brandywine Falls & Gorge. Also nearby tons of restaurants and shops. We enjoyed Seoul Garden.
Perfect for a little getaway. Melissa was very kind and responsive. We appreciated the video she sent to show what to expect before we headed there.

We loved staying at Troy's shelter (almost a cabin)! At a one hour drive from Cleveland, the shelter was well furnished with chairs, firewood, a blackstone (for rent), and sleeping platforms which made for an easy to set up weekend retreat. Troy and his family were so sweet and showed us their chickens, turkeys, and goats! We joked we need a monthly membership for a regular retreat! 10/10 recommend!

The tiny inn was a great find. It was spacious, had some furnishings including a bed.. we just needed our sleeping bags for the night.
We could listen to the frogs croaking and cows mooing.

Weekend Trip to CHERRY VALLEY CHILL
I loved everything about this stay. The cabin was very roomy with the addition of sliding barn doors which were my favorite part besides the wood burning stove. The property has a nicely maintained yard that my dog really enjoyed playing in. There were tractors working in the fields on the left and right of the property so at times it could be a bit noisy. The bathroom was very spacious and clean as well. There are lights inside and outside of the barn powered by solar so it was nice not to have to use a flashlight or lantern after dark. Friendly host as well, stopped by when I arrived to show me around and she ensured I was taken care of during my stay. Would highly recommend!

It is a very special, sweet space to unwind. The pot belly stove keeps the little cabin very warm. The land is beautiful and I wish I had more time to spend at this oasis.

Weekend Trip to CHERRY VALLEY CHILL
This property and the structures that Troy and his family have built are amazing. So quiet and pristine, it was just the change of scenery that my friends and I needed. It’s only a short drive to a little town, but you may not ever want to leave this piece of land. Thanks for having us! ❤️

Weekend Trip to CHERRY VALLEY CHILL
I would highly recommend Troy’s cabin for an extremely pleasant “get away from it all” great camping experience!!! The cabin is spacious, very very clean, cozy and it has such a special ambiance with the soft lighting and the wood burning fireplace!
We brought our own portable mattresses which fit perfect on the beds and even though it rained almost the whole day we were able to stay nice and dry and warm and with the sliding doors open we could see all of the beautiful countryside around us.
Also loved how we were welcomed by Troy who had even started our first fire for us!
It was nice to have the gas grill right outside and we made some great meals and enjoyed them sitting at the picnic table and the great wooden countertop with the high bar stools.
We had lots of privacy all around us and yet it was nice being close to Andover for a quick grocery run or a bite to eat in town.
Looking forward to our next stay there!
Definitely recommend Cherryhill Chill!!!
Thank you Troy for your hospitality!

Weekend Trip to Hemlock & Hobbit Forest
A perfect cozy spot for those spending time in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. It was 10-15 minutes away from the trailheads we wanted to visit and from downtown Penisula. The bed was comfortable, and the whole cabin was welcoming and beautiful.

Had a amazing getaway for a few days! Cabin is awesome and it was great to unplug and leave worries at home. Hike directly downhill from the cabin led to a small waterfall and the Grand River. Stars at night framed by the trees were gorgeous. Highly recommended and look forward to returning!

I didn't stay in the cedar cabin, it was too cold and the roof was leaking when I scheduled so the wonderful host graciously offered me her much cozier "hobbit" house, which was essentially the same size but warmer.
I have to say it was one if the coolest eco friendly houses I've ever stayed in! Really thoughtful attention to details such as the assymetric construction based on the layout of the slope and hillside. An inspiring example of how human structures can interact organically with, and even be enhanced by the natural world.
All of this is only to say the host is a really welcoming, and vibrant individual and such a wonderful property is surely an extension of their warm artistry.

I can't say enough about Troy, his family, and this modded style cabin which I was amazed on the hardwork and craftsmanship. They gave me the 5 star treatment.Your in the country side surrounded by endless acres of farm land and trees. Wood was supplied which is nice and if you need more you can always purchase more from Troy. I plan to come back in much warmer conditions so I can take advantage of those opening outter walls!

I loved staying at Lisa and Patrick’s Hemlock heaven! The cabin is perfectly cozy, with just enough amenities for avid campers. The wood-burning stove kept me and the doggo I brought perfectly warm; compost outhouse is also super neat! The background story and history of the property is really cool too. Highly, highly recommend checking out Bridge St. and the Harpersfield Covered Bridge Metropark!
Lisa was an incredible host - answering all of my questions and concerns with the utmost kindness. I can’t wait to go back!

I loved this primitive cabin in the woods. Lisa's instructions and descriptions are well written and accurately describe the location. She responds quickly to messages. If you need further help, she's a message away and is ready to help. The hand rake was my favorite tool to help clear the leaves as I hiked into the ravine. The space is clean and not cramped. The property is close to a covered bridge park on the Grand River. There are many wineries minutes away from the cabin. I highly recommend this location!
