Welcome to Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Tipi Stay Our farm has been in our family for more than 50 years. It was lovingly purchased by my Cherokee grandmother with the intention of gifting each of her children a piece of land. In 2008, we began raising bison here, and we chose the name Cherokee Valley to honor my heritage and the extraordinary gift passed down from my grandmother and mother. We created this tipi experience to share that gift with you. Your Tipi Stay Spend the night in our spacious 22-foot tipi, thoughtfully placed to immerse you in the sights and sounds of the ranch. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable queen platform bed provided for your convenience. Guests should bring their own sleeping bags, linens, pillows, and blankets. The tipi comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests—two on the provided queen bed, with ample room for additional cots or air mattresses you bring. Cots are available to rent as an add-on. You’re also welcome to pitch additional tents or hang hammocks in the surrounding trees, allowing space for up to 10 guests total.

Nature lovers will delight in the abundance of birds, butterflies, and wildlife throughout the property. After your hike, cool off in the clear, pristine creek bordering the ranch (water shoes recommended).

Weekend Trip to Altenbrauch Farm

The small cabin made it very enjoyable. The 2 of us along with a dog managed well. The AC worked well, the Keurig and Microwave we didn't use. We had planned on cooking over the firepit though by the time the day was done we were too exhausted to start the fire and let the dog run in the soaked muddy ground from all the rain over the past 2 weeks. The self-checkin made it easy along with the colored map to find the cabin. The solar shower I didn't get a chance to use. Only once did I hear the neighbors and that was when I let the dog out late at night. To avoid the rain, the small cabin made it worth it.

I had a lovely stay at Honeysuckle Cottage at Altenbrauch Farm. The location was beautiful and peaceful, and it was a great place to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. I really enjoyed my time here and would happily recommend it to friends. I’d definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to Geo-dome Glamping

While we don’t live far away our family of 4 was in need of a short getaway to unplug before the hectic schedule of another school year. This place fit the bill wonderfully. Fresh cut flowers in the dome, swinging by the fire while devouring s'mores, and waking up to the faint sounds of a snoring pig named Red... all priceless memories! Susan is a great communicator via the app and Jeff is so hospitable—at our request he gladly showed us around the farm and taught us about their animals. When a storm rolled in during our stay they made sure we were safe—we couldn’t ask for better hosts! We will be recommending our friends make a visit for a peaceful reset.

The yurt was beautiful, clean and well-maintained. The grounds were wonderful and the back patio with hot tub was a perfect touch.

This was our second time staying at this little piece of Heaven. So peaceful and quiet - and fun! We loved floating in the little pond and listening to the nature sounds (because that is all you could hear up there) The little cabin had everything we needed and everything was very clean. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Creekside Retreat

We had a great experience at Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch! The campsite was very nice and clean, and the tepee was so cool! Such a unique experience! The bison were in the field when we arrived, we didn’t have to wait at all to see them. There were several young calves as well, very cute. Highly recommend for a fun, relaxing trip

Weekend Trip to Geo-dome Glamping

Our time at the dome could not have been any better! My fiancé and I had a MUCH needed, one night get away to the dome and we are already anxiously awaiting our next visit. The hosts are absolutely incredible with all of their amenities and you simply cannot beat the scenery. Perfect for the out of town feel, but close enough for anything you’d like to visit! From the fire pit to the surprise recliners, we only went inside to sleep and with a light rain, I’ve never slept better. Cannot speak highly enough of the dome and its hosts! We will absolutely be back, SOON.

Directions were clear. Close to Athens. Very communicative with questions/messages. Helpful to have a headlamp or flashlight for night to find your way. Clean linens.

The Bear Cabin was superb. Very comfortable, they had already set the AC before we got there. They had firewood available, if we wanted it. This is our second time here and the owners are amazingly friendly and helpful.

Weekend Trip to Woody Acres

We had an amazing stay at Woody Acres. We stayed in the Hickory Hut while our friends stayed in the Peppermint Patty Wagon, and both accommodations were thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. From comfortable bedding and extra linens to cooking supplies, serving ware, and other little incidentals, it was clear the hosts put a lot of care into anticipating guests' needs. The property is absolutely beautiful and truly feels like an immersive nature retreat. The nature-inspired décor is intentionally curated, with so many personal touches that make each space feel warm and unique. We also appreciated that Woody Acres is dog-friendly, making it easy to bring our pups along for the adventure. Kate and Austin were wonderful hosts—kind, communicative, and available whenever we needed them while still giving guests plenty of privacy. One of the highlights of our trip was joining them for a plant identification walk. It was incredibly informative, engaging, and gave us an even greater appreciation for the property and the surrounding landscape. The mowed walking trails throughout the property were perfect for exploring, and the beautifully landscaped sites offer plenty of privacy between campers. The outdoor composting toilet and shower were both very clean and only a short walk from our hut. We also loved how close Woody Acres is to the Hocking Hills attractions, making it easy to enjoy the area's hiking options.

4 nights at Birdhouse Farm Camp And Cabin

My wife and I returned from July 22–26, 2026, and once again had an absolutely wonderful experience. The pond-side A-frame cabin and surrounding campsite are truly special. The property is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by nature. The cabin offers the perfect balance of comfortable camping and an authentic outdoor experience, especially with the screened opening that lets you enjoy the fresh air and nighttime sounds without dealing with the bugs. Jenny and Logan are exceptional hosts. They are friendly, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely want their guests to have a great stay. Their hospitality is one of the biggest reasons this place stands out. They are always available when needed and make you feel completely welcome from the moment you arrive. The entire site is clean, organized, and thoughtfully arranged. It is obvious how much work and care they have put into the cabin, campsite, farm, and surrounding land. This is the kind of place where you can truly slow down, unwind, and enjoy time together. We loved our stay and will absolutely return again. Jenny and Logan, you continue to impress us—y’all rock! We highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable camping getaway.

This camp site is THE place! Beautiful, quiet, and the host has thought of everything. The cooking supplies, food prep surface, toilet setup, and amenities inside the tipi are wonderful. Communication was top notch. A mom and girls felt very safe. We would love to come back!
