25mi from Parkersburg · 1 site · Lodging

Dogwood Cabin is an off grid experience. Think glamping. It is set on 25 acres in the rolling hills of Morgan County in southeast OH, close to the village of Chesterhill. Hidden in the woods, back a gravel driveway. No electricity, no running water, no central heat, no WiFi, no cell service. Truly getting out into nature without distractions. Hang your hammock between trees. Build a fire to grill your meals. Relax on the porch swing or by the fire. Hike the property, play in the creek. Dogwood Cabin has a small kitchenette. There is a propane camping stove and some pots, pans, coffee maker, and dishes. We have a grill to place over the fire pit. There are 4 mattresses in the loft. No linens. Bring sleeping bags, etc. No running water. Bring water in jugs for drinking, cleaning up and dousing the fire. Buddy propane heater to take off the chill inside, but not make it cozy. Bring a flashlight or lantern. We have several battery lanterns. On low, the lights should work for 6-8 hours. On high, much less. An outhouse (think wooden porta potty) is not far from the cabin. No cell service or internet. Chesterhill is about 2 miles and has service in numerous places on Main St. We have gone up the hill at the church in Todds - right on Goshen Run, left on St Rt 377, about 2 miles. Firewood is not provided. You can bring your own or scrounge the woods for dead branches and twigs. Please douse the fire before leaving. Rake leaves away from the fire pit. Dry materials could easily start a forest fire. 8 plastic deck chairs are stacked on the porch. Please put them back and secure the cover before you leave. We encourage you to get groceries on your way to the cabin, since it is 30 minutes to a decent grocery store. Chesterhill has Ron's Convenience and Restaurant where you can buy subs, pizza, burgers, fries, and groceries. Triple Nickel Diner in Chesterhill is another neat place to eat. No motorcycles on the driveway. You may enjoy hiking the 25 acres on the property. Nature is awesome, but check yourselves and your pet for ticks. 24 hours before your arrival, you should receive a message with the code to get in at the digital entry door, plus a bit more information that you may enjoy.

Weekend Trip to Dogwood Cabin

This is a really well thought out little off grid cabin. Clean and cozy, and the stove and lamps they leave for you are really nice. At night we slept in the loft with the window open and listened to the owls all night. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Dogwood Cabin

Dogwood cabin was delightful and remote. My two dogs and I loved the surrounding countryside. At night, it was so cozy! I would highly recommend, however, a few observations: Watch your head on the steps! It is dark inside, even mid-day. You will need a light source if cooking or cleaning or to see into the cupboards. I brought several camp lights that charge via USB anf a power pack. They were almost essential. There were no matches or lighters. I had to make a trip to Stockport. The camp stove is useful, but the directions on the lid are outdated - there is no longer a pump to prime. It is also not really adjustable. My morning water for coffee took almost an hour to heat up enough for my French press. It's a really nice feature but you might prefer your own. The only working solar light was on the outhouse. The others didn't light up. There was no firewood at all. Check in time was 4pm; by the time I got unloaded and settled in, it was too dark in the woods to scrounge for firewood. The creek is down at the bottom of the very narrow and steep road. My dogs loved it! Best access is down by the entrance gate. There was quite a bit of activity on Goshen Run Rd. Use caution if walking it. It winds quite a bit and speed limit is 55. It was super hot, muggy, and buggy, so we didn't do as much outside exploring as I would have liked, but overall Dogwood Cabin was a sweet little abode in the woods on a hilltop.

3 nights at Dogwood Cabin

We enjoyed out weekend staying at the dogwood cabin. The cabin was clean and looked exactly as advertised. I loved how when you walked in the house smelled like wood. If you're looking for a rustic place to stay I'd highly recommend.

2 nights at Bunny Bungalow Secluded Geodome

We loved the geo dome. It was our first experience staying in one. The space had everything, including wine/chocolates waiting for us. The space was very cozy and clean. We stayed for 2 nights, enjoyed the view from inside. There is a wonderful hot tub which we loved after a long hike at near by Hocking Hills State Park. I would highly recommend coming and staying at this unique and romantic site. Brent was an excellent host. It was as though we were in a 5 star hotel. He thought of everything and it is decorated so cute!
