There is no TV though you'll need to spend time talking, playing games and just enjoying the beautiful peaceful surroundings.

This place is one of a kind. The cabin is super cozy while simultaneously feeling connected to nature with a ton of big windows that really bring in the outdoors. The amenities and little touches are first rate including a complete mini cook's kitchen, awesome lighting to fit any mood, a ton of games, great reading material, and stacked firewood for the charming indoor wood burner. The cabin is very charming and a great jumping off point for Eastern Ohio adventures! PS - Super clean and the hosts were very friendly.

Great location… very clean… remote enough to be disconnected, but close enough to a gas station/convenient store/highway in case you need anything. Has everything you need. Above all are the owners Tom and Melissa. We originally booked to stay a few months ago, we showed up on the first day, but had to leave within an hour of arriving due to an accident my son had at home. We left immediately and left all of our luggage, coolers, clothes, etc. Not only did they refund our money, but Tom also loaded up all of our stuff and found a way to meet my dad a few days later to give him our things which was a huge help given the situation we were in at the time. It was a 3 hour drive for us and they split the drive with my dad to help. We appreciate them more than they will ever know for helping us during the worst time of our lives.

Beautiful, spacious property with private secluded camp sites. Owen is an amazing host and was very helpful and provided great information for other things to do in the surrounding area as well. My son and I had an amazing time staying here and will definitely be back! I would highly recommend this site to anyone looking for a wonderful adventure in the beautiful Appalachian foothills of south-east Ohio!

This glamping set-up is PERFECT!
Tom and Melissa really know how to set up camp. Just bring yourself and whatever food you'd like to cook on the grill and camp stove, and you are set. Thank you again for such a great time! We will be back. ☺️

Firefly Forest was a great experience. Owen is very friendly and responsive, and they are doing some really cool things with their farm. The tent sites are roomy and spaced out. Good hiking and the swimming hole is amazing. Make sure to get eggs, not only are they pretty, they taste better than the store. Get the taxi service for your gear...this is the foothills after all and it's an uphill hike to the campsite. YOU CANNOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE no matter how confident you are. The road will not accommodate normal vehicles so you will have to hike in. It's totally worth it! The farm tour was amazing. We did it safari style with stops to see the grounds and the farm. Make sure to pet the goats, they're very sweet! We have found a new favorite spot and will be returning.

My partner and I stayed here for a couple of days and it didn't take long for the chats by the fire to turn to "oh, the next time we come here we should--".
It's equally obvious that Owen sincerely loves this place and wants you to enjoy your stay as it is that he respects campers ability to...camp. Meaning if you already camp often (and chances are if you read this review on this app, you do) than you will get the nesessary rundown and lay of the land from Owen and be left to just enjoy nature. There's ample wood available, compost toilets at every site, and fantastic trails full of love and attention to detail that I think only people that love the woods would appreciate.
Next time, I am definitely taking them up on the added "take your gear" offer so that I can focus on exploring those hills again. If you aren't experienced than Owen has you covered and if you are experienced, Owen has you covered. Dude clearly just wants you to have a good time regardless of your experience level. All in all this place is wonderful and I can't want to see it evolve because it's really doing something special.

Pine Cove is truly the most private and peaceful spot you could hope for. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Tom & Melissa have put so much thought, care, and attention into every detail of the property. Their directions were spot-on, making it easy to find, and the whole place feels beautifully planned out and well cared for. The setting is serene, with nature all around, and it’s only a short drive to Blue Rock State Park if you’re in the mood for a refreshing dip in the lake. The experience was incredibly calming from start to finish — the perfect escape to recharge and unwind.

Owen was extremely accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. We planned on camping at firefly forest and going to local attractions but everything we needed ended up being right there!! I don’t get a chance to spend time with all of my grown kids at once and this was a perfect place and made a perfect weekend. There are trails to hike, more than enough space at the campsite, kayaks to use and the swimming lake was awesome. I think our favorite thing was swimming.

A great little cabin to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It’s very remote and secluded but is accessible by a gravel road. I think we counted 3 trucks and 2 side by sides as traffic for the entire weekend!
The cabin was neat as a button and every question a guest could ever ask was already addressed either in their cabin manual or little notes adjacent to the items. It is SOOOO quiet! What a great place to relax and unwind. Many trails criss-cross the property so bring comfortable shoes. Thanks for the opportunity to share your little slice of heaven!

This was a very private, but comfortable spot. It was a unique experience that allowed us to "camp" without lugging everything in- and get a good nights sleep. We had everything we needed. We walked the property, in the woods, and even the road- we were totally alone. This is placed on top of a ridgeline, and when on the road, the views are unbelievable. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had such a wonderful and peaceful stay here on Owen's land. It was about a 5 minute hike from the parking lot to our campsite. Thank goodness Owen offers a ferry to help take your tent, coolers or any other heavy luggage from your car to your campsite and back for you for a small fee. It was super hot this weekend so our kids enjoyed jumping into the pond, swimming, kayaking, and our host Owen taught the kids how to catch tadpoles. The property is beautiful with plenty of tree coverage to keep you cool. My favorite part of the stay was at night when it was dark and the only lights were the stars and a few solar lights scattered throughout the property it felt like you were the fairies in the garden. It was beautiful. He has a petting zoo for a small fee that has peacocks, chickens, ducks, sheep, goats and the best thing ever PUPPIES. He let the kids help him collect eggs which made their whole day. Our only complaint is the weekend went by way too fast. The property is beautiful, campsite was secluded, swimming, hiking and the host is amazing. Thank you Owen for a wonderful weekend 😊. 10/10
