We have been raising our family & Grassfed Angus Beef here since 1984.Our cabin is $20 per person per night, but we have a minimum of 2 persons per night. This means that the fee for a single person is $40 per night, (a single person must make the reservation for 2 people). During fall deer hunting season, there is a minimum of 3 persons per nite, or $60 per night. Our secluded one room rustic cabin is in a grove of trees looking over our 1/2 acre bluegill & bass pond. It is well off the road in the Appalachian SE part of Ohio, and surrounded by the rolling hills of our grassfed cattle pasture. We consider it rustic or primitive because there is a wooden outhouse & no electricity and no WiFi and poor cell service. Expect to see chipmunks, squirrels, plenty of mice, and even deer. After all, the cabin is in the woods surrounded by our cow pasture. Please do not expect motel type conditions. Please clean up after yourselves, just as you would do on a camping trip. This is not a modern cabin with conveniences, it is a rough cabin in which you are camping out under a roof. There is low pressure gravity flow running hot and cold water for shower and kitchen sink, but after freezing weather arrives in November, we have to shut off the water to avoid freezing pipes, and THERE WILL BE NO RUNNING WATER. Our farm is bordered by 5000 acres of The State of Ohio's mostly wooded Wolf Creek Wildlife Area open to public access. Burr Oak State Park is 8 miles away, with boating, fishing, hiking and restaurant. The long distance Buckeye Trail passes through our farm. We frequently see deer, turkeys & over 120 species of birds on the farm. Nearby Chesterhill has Triple Nickle Restaurant offering our grassfed burgers & food from other local farmers. McConnelsville is 11 miles away with restaurants, movies, grocery stores, etc. Fresh frozen grass-fed beef available for sale at our on-farm store. Steaks, roasts, ground beef, and other cuts. Also 13 kinds of Marjie's homemade jams & jellies & homemade apple sauce & apple butter.

This campsite offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle. The rustic cabins provide a back-to-basics experience, where you can enjoy the solitude and natural scenery. Many guests appreciate the seclusion and peacefulness, though some mention that the cabins could use a bit more upkeep, especially regarding cleanliness and the water quality. Despite these drawbacks, the location is favored for its beauty and tranquility, making it an appealing choice for those seeking a simple, off-grid retreat.

We had the most relaxing stay and would definitely come back! As a bonus we got to stock up on some delicious beef!

Rustic and relaxing

With pets

The cabin was so rustic and cute, and the privacy was wonderful. We enjoyed the birdsong and frogs calling. We enjoyed being off grid and brought our yeti cooler and a string of battery powered LED lights for evenings. The propane cookstove worked great. We really enjoyed our stay although there were a few things that could be improved. We understand rustic, we do rustic, we love rustic. However rustic does not mean the grass shouldn't be mowed (it was a foot high in spots), or that the cabin shouldn't be clean (mouse droppings everywhere-especially 2nd floor which we didn't use), or that the cabin couldn't be made more comfortable (more than one screened window per floor would allow better airflow). And not sure what's up with the water. We've used cistern stored water before, but this water smelled like poop! If you ran the spigot awhile, the smell would dissipate somewhat. But next time you used it, back to the poop smell. But even so, the pros outweighed the cons, and we would stay again if in the area.

Great as always

Group trip

As always, I truly enjoyed our stay at your cabin. The simplicity of the space was exactly what I needed—a perfect retreat from the noise of everyday life. Waking up to the stillness, stepping outside to see the frozen pond glistening in the crisp air, and just soaking in the peace and quiet was an absolute gift. It’s rare to find a place where time seems to slow down, and this was one of those special places. Thank you for sharing this little slice of tranquility—I’m already looking forward to coming back!
