A sweet farm get away

The small house where we stayed was humble, clean, and nicely decorated with great books on the shelves. It was lovely to be by a pasture with wide skies and green rolling hills all around. At night we opened the windows to hear the peepers and farm animals quietly living alongside us. Margot and John were gracious hosts. We loved joining Margot for morning chores and meeting all the animals, especially the dogs.

Very kind owners

Margot and John were incredibly kind and welcoming. My partner and I stayed over the weekend, and got welcomed with brownies and shown around the farm for chores. Completely optional but completely worth it to see the animals and get to know both of them! We had our car get stuck due to weather at the end of our stay, and they offered us food and helped us move our car. Incredible kindness and we will be back!

Perfect little getaway

Perfect cozy cabin for our short vacay after Christmas! Super clean, perfectly situated for enjoying Lake Hope State Park, the Lake Hope Furnace and other local attractions. Lots of board games, books, a fire pit, a grill and a well stocked kitchen. Will definitely return!

Best place we have ever stayed!

John and Margot have a jewel of a cabin and are wonderful people. The cabin is cozy, the animals are adorable, and getting to be part of the help even in freezing weather was a treat for me and the family. Couldnt have asked for anything better, it was perfect. If you get the chance do yourself a favor and come visit the ranch!

Wonderful relaxing stay

We had a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing stay. John and Margot were excellent and gracious hosts! My daughter and I chose to help with morning chores so we got to be up close to the animals which was great! They taught us a lot about the animals. The cabin was clean and comfortable. I definitely recommend staying here. We will most certainly stay here again when we are down that way.

Peaceful Weekend Away

We loved our stay at Homecoming. The property owners John and Margot were lovely! They took us out to see the cattle and showed us around the property. We were also able to assist and watch feeding the animals the morning of our last day. They also left us a sweet treat in the cabin when we arrived. The property is easily accessible on the corner of two main roads and a quiet retreat. We would definitely stay here again!

Cute little cabin on a gated farm.

Cute little cabin on a gated farm in a quiet location. It had a picnic table and propane grill we used daily. One of our favorite things to do was to visit around the camp fire nightly and visit with friends. Daily we talked to the owners, that lived next door. They were very friendly and helpful with information on the area. Great location for hiking all the Hocking Hills trails.

Cozy trailer in a rural farm setting

A couple of us had a weekend girls trip to Hocking Hills and stayed here. The 2 bedroom place is very cozy and well equipped. The host is charming. We hope to return there on a future visit.

Farm tinyhouse

Was only at the property overnight because most of our time was spent at an off property event. Cabin was clean and the host and hostess were very nice. Loved the loaf of bread she gave us from a local bakery.

GREAT STAY

We had a great stay at the cabin. Margot was extremely friendly and brought over some pears fresh picked from her pear tree...enough to bring a few home. The cabin was clean and exactly like the pictures. We got to see horses and goats, but the cows were in a different pasture. We did get to wake up at 5am when the smoke alarm went off. Still not sure why, but it got us up and ready for a day of hiking and driving home.

Perfect; wish we’d been there longer!

The site was beautiful; very homey. The hosts so kind and accommodating. This was our home away from home while we explored hiking hills and my only wish was that we had been able to stay longer! While we were grilling the horses came out and were just on the other side of the fence; the girls had a blast watching the animals and learning about the farm.

Perfect get away

This was EXACTLY what we needed for a place to relax and sleep in between hiking. The ranch is beautiful, Margot and John were absolutely lovely. The kids haven’t stopped talking about getting to see all the animals.

Relaxing stay

We couldn't be happier with our stay. Everything was ready for us. Margot and John were attentive and gracious. A week long stay would have been perfect, but life sometimes dictates what you can and can't do. With that said, our two day stay was a delight. Thank you Margot and John.

Relaxing getaway

Such a sweet, peaceful spot. I loved sitting at the picnic table in the AM with my coffee watching the sun come up over the hill as the mist burned off and the baby goats frolicked in the field. Just as relaxing was the night time cup of tea on the front porch watching the sun set.

The cabin was perfect for our spring break trip. The hosts showed us around the ranch and even treated us to fresh locally made bread and eggs from their own hens. I would absolutely stay here again!

Not exactly as described

The owners were absolutely fantastic and downed earth people. But the expectation of the place and being able to be closer to the animals was a little bit less than described. They were nice enough to let us go and view the animals the day we arrived with them on site unfortunately they couldn't be there Sunday so we were not allowed to go out and view the Animals on those days. The cabin itself was very poorly insulated and was very cold and the smoke alarm kept going off every time we used the oven. Lol However I do want to make sure I call out that they were very kind to us but would recommend staying during the warmer months.

Cousin get away

This cabin was perfect!! The listing was accurate. I’ve never had a fully stocked kitchen like this one was. Im usually needing something that’s not in kitchens when I rent, however, not this time. They had everything! Even coffee, hot tea and hot coco. When I asked about firewood to have a fire in the pit, not only did I get firewood, but also roasting sticks and marshmallows. The owners left us homemade jam and bread for our stay. The beds were comfortable, pillows perfectly comfy. We had plenty of towels for 5 adults and 2 children. My daughters especially enjoyed the farm animals and kitties. I’d highly recommend this cabin and will be staying here again the next time I visit the area!

The cabin is lovely and the property is beautiful. The animals are so well cared for by the owners, they have a wonderful thing going and they are sharing it with others. Go and stay a while, you won’t regret it.
