This is our second time staying here! The site is very close to multiple mountain biking trailheads and the host is very responsive and helpful.

We loved camping here on top of the ridge! The site was beautiful, private, and with the UTV service was easy to access and transport our gear. The host was very responsive and kind, and was an excellent host. He got us more firewood when we needed it and even offered us farm fresh eggs. The bike trails near by were also excellent and provided a very fun weekend.

We really enjoyed our stay! The land was beautiful, the spot was private, and we liked having the restrooms down the hill. The two bathrooms were clean and there were showers/towels provided and heaters on, we were surprised at how nice they were. Keith was friendly and carried our stuff up the hill in an ATV even though we had been expecting to do it ourself. The wood is a great deal for $5 and we had a ton of firewood including the deadwood on the ground. We brought our two dogs and it was nice being able to let them run around at the campsite, that was one of the reasons we didn't stay at a standard campground. This place is not too far away from the Hocking Hills trails (about 40 min), and next time we will have to check out the Bailey's trails as they are so convenient to this spot. We didn't have an issues with bugs or wildlife.

Elaina's property is gorgeous. My stay there was just what I needed. I had chosen the site that was a short drive past the pond and through the woods. The meadow, stream and wooded area provided just the kind of peace and quiet I was looking for.
There is a fire ring and a table at the site and plenty of level options for renting or carcamping. Deer and turkeys were nearby keeping me company.
I would absolutely go back to this spot. Elaina and her family have a hidden gem here. Two thumbs up!

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

Perfect spot to camp if you want to be close to Baileys for biking or the Nelsonville Music Festival. It was easy to park our pop up camper here. Keith was super kind and helpful.

This campsite is perfect for access to the bike trails. We camped with young kids and were able to go on rides with them. They could then hang out at the campsite while some of the group went on bigger rides that ended at the campsite.

Weekend Trip to Shady Owl Ranch
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.

I loved the tent camping on Elaina's land. Elaina and her mother are very nice and friendly people. The camping site is a quiet and pleasant spot. We asked for grilling setup and they provided one for us. Their place is highly recommended and I will definitely go there again.

Great little campsite - perfect for a small camper or truck/car camping. It’s right on the main road with several direct access points to the Bailey’s trails, but was really pretty quiet and peaceful. The bathroom was nice, clean and spacious and a very short walk. The host, Keith, was very friendly and responsive. We will definitely be back!

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.
