Ridge Haus tiny cabin on the creek

Cabin · Sleeps 2

Stay in a truly unique, two story tiny home style cabin with a porch almost over looking a creek, and 30 acres of woods, hills and wild life. Explore the trails and experience nature conveniently near the lively culture and arts town of Athens, Ohio, and Ohio University. The space Our location is a 10 minute drive from OU and uptown Athens, but it feels like you are far out in the wilderness. Quite unusually for Appalachian Ohio, there are all kinds of shopping, restaurants, and other amenities in town and around it. Biking, hiking, parks and cultural happenings are nearby. Live music happens in a variety of venues on an almost nightly basis. Athens has three micro breweries and the brewery Little Fish is almost at the end of our road. The Plains, which is also quite close, has some of the above as well. 'Waldbaden', our name for the land where we have built cabins, is the German word(s) for 'forest bathing'. The concept behind 'forest bathing' is that the trees are therapeutic for mental and physical health. We are not experts in the practice of 'waldbaden' but we definitely find our bit of forest rejuvenating and we hope you do too. Please feel free to walk the trails and see the nature, but also be aware that it is mostly untamed nature and that your exploration is at your own risk. This cabin is cozy and comfortable with great nature views, especially from the porch. However, please note that the staircase is narrow and the second floor has low ceilings which may not be suitable for some guests. People with pets should consult with us before bringing to the cabin. A fee maybe charged for pets that are not service animals. If you wish to share this space with additional guests, or would like a rollout bed, please consult with us first. The space is limited and there will be a fee charged for additional guests. * Steps are narrow and a little steep inside the cabin. ** Cabins are located in a forest, and occasionally, insects visit them. We do not use pesticides as the residual chemicals of using them are likely to cause harm to our guests and nature, where as the insects are not. Please be aware of this, as we do not offer refunds for the presence of nature.
