Great secluded spot with amazing sunsets! I’ve stayed here twice now and will be back!

2 nights at ROCK⭐️STAR

This is a regular stop for me when travelling through the area. It works great for my needs. The hosts have always been friendly, responsive, and attentive. Looking forward to joining musicians for a jam one day soon.

Weekend Trip to Appalachian Retreat

My partner is writing this review on my behalf since she has stayed at this cabin before and can compare trips: I was so excited to be able to come back and spend some more time in this cabin to see what a cold weather stay would be like, and it did not disappoint. In spite of the fact that the temperatures dropped to a chill factor of about 20, my partner and I stayed warm and cozy inside on account of the wood stove. It’s a small one, and if you start with a cold cabin it will take about an hour or two to reach a comfortable room temperature, but after that we only needed to feed it once in a while to keep the fire going. It burned all the way down overnight while we slept, but the cabin was still a little warm inside when we woke up the next morning. These are close quarters and perfect for a romantic getaway for two. Other than the small birds visiting the feeders, the area was extremely quiet and peaceful. We didn’t hear a soul. It was cold enough that we didn’t get a chance to walk about the property, but we were in the mood to stay cuddled up inside anyway. Just FYI, the composting toilet doesn’t work at these temperatures, so you have to improvise …we kept a bucket inside for #1 during the night.

If you’re looking for a spot to camp that is completely private and peaceful, this is your spot! The cabin itself is cozy and the compostable toilet is very easy to use. There are many amenities provided for cooking, both for cooking over the fire or on a propane stove. There is even firewood provided, but we brought some of our own to supplement as well so we wouldn’t exhaust J’s supply! When we arrived, J offered to help us take our wood and supplies to the cabin with his UTV, but he does also provide a wagon you can use if he isn’t there. The cabin is a short walk from where you park. I’m not sure how large the property is, but my partner and I went on a 2 hour hike on the trails that J mentioned and I’m sure we only saw a fraction of what was out there. I would say the trails are not for beginner hikers, as there are frequent inclines and declines. We did rent both cabins so we would have the space to ourselves, but the second, smaller cabin is somewhat tucked away up on a hill. We could only just see the top of it peeking through the trees. The foliage was beautiful out there, definitely worth a visit! We will absolutely camp here again!

We have a beautiful 20 acre lake. It's 60 ft deep with crystal clear water and is great for swimming and fishing. Kayaking welcome too. We also have a couple other ponds available for fishing as well. We raise fresh water prawn and bluegill in the summertime, so late september we have fresh shrimp available. Lots of waterfowl and deer here to see.

Appalachian Retreat

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents500 acres · Newport, OH

Located in the rolling Appalachian hills of Southeast Ohio. This farm has been in our family since 1869 when our relatives settled here from Germany. This particular location was originally a home site for my grandfather's sister, Lizzie. Originally farmed for cattle and sheep with many orchards over the years our property is now mostly mature forest. Southeast Ohio, including our property is known for its hilly topography and microclimates. Hills range from 400 to 1,000 feet. On our property you will find dry ridges with tree species like Chestnut Oak or humid valleys that resemble a moss-covered temperate rain forest from the pacific northwest. Much of our property has now reached late stage mature forests with an open understory. Nearly 500 acres of land with an additional 200+ acres of Wayne National Forest adjacent to our farm and close proximity to other Wayne areas for outdoor activities. We have nearly 10 miles of available trails for hiking. Many activities can be done at or centered around our property such as excellent and challenging road biking, mountain biking, horseback riding, hiking, fishing, kayaking and boating. We are about one mile from the Little Muskingum river. A great river for kayak trips. The Wayne Kinderhook horse and hiking trail is roughly 5 miles from our location. Hike to the Irish Run Natural Land bridge trail also a short drive to the trailhead from our property. Riding your motorcycle up Rt. 26 is great! A great Ohio byway for scenic driving. This is also a great home base for dual sport or adventure bike motorcycle riders to camp while adventuring along gravel roads through Appalachia. If motorcycles aren't your method of entertainment and travel. Bring your horse and ride on several of our trails. From steep ascents to long flat ridge lines, you will have lots of time to immerse yourself with nature while hiking. We're next to a section of the Wayne National Forest and a short drive to other similar Wayne activities. It's a great place to hear a whip-poor-will sing on a spring night while stargazing as you see a satellite zip past in the sky. If you like to camp, but don't want the busy public park experience then you will enjoy the privacy of our camping location. Camp at our main site along the forest edge near the country backroad with a fire ring and mowed grassy area or there are also several backwoods primitive camp sites available for someone who wants to rough it. We are also only about a 20-minute drive to downtown Marietta. Where you can find restaurants, bars, and many other fun activities.
