About this property

Liberty Retreat No Added Fees!

ARE YOU SEARCHING for the perfect getaway? Search no farther than Liberty Retreat. Everybody needs to get away from the daily hustle once in a while. Spend some time relaxing or curl up with a good book. Enjoy hiking, bird watching or exploring. We are located in the Appalachian Foothills of Southern Ohio. Our 70 acre property offers high rock cliffs, deep gorges, caves, a small stream and trickling waterfall. View picturesque nature, colorful birds and native wildlife from two miles of clearly marked, scenic trails, available all year. It's all part of the experience at Liberty Retreat.
OUR COTTAGE is a totally refurbished, 1960s era Jim Walter home, known as Caretaker's Cottage. Updated in 2021 with comfort and relaxation in mind, Caretaker's Cottage displays rustic charm with all the modern conveniences.
THE LIVING AREA provides comfortable seating and is open to the nicely equipped, full kitchen with peninsula that seats four. There's also a smart tv, a ton of family friendly DVDs and a good selection of books and board games.
ACCOMMODATIONS include two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, adjustable reading lamps, convenient outlets for phones & chargers and a full "Jack & Jill" bathroom (shower, sink, toilet). If you forget something, we keep a small supply of toiletries on hand.
An ample supply of fresh towels and extra blankets always available. All dishes, silverware, pots, pans, blender, coffee pot, coffee & filters are also provided. Our Keurig coffee maker is a dual feature machine, allowing drip coffee or K-pods.
IN THE EVENING, start with a crackling fire. Listen to the soothing sounds of owls, tree frogs and whippoorwills as you view the innumerable stars in the night sky.
You'll have the whole cottage to yourself. You will love the secluded, paver patio with fire pit and a variety of seating options. The firewood, fire starters and a lighter all provided. Guests may need to gather a little kindling. There's plenty right around the cottage. Get up a game of Cornhole or Hookey. Cook your meals on our Blackstone grill. How about an invigorating experience in the outdoor shower? (normally available May-Oct). See if you can identify all the different types of birds at the feeders. We love it here. We know you will too.
AFTER A DAY of harmonious nature walks, interacting with the great outdoors and enjoying all the beautiful scenery, indulge by soaking your cares away in our new hot tub. Perfect for romantic escapes, anniversaries, honeymoons, birthdays or any other reason to just ... getaway.
COMPARING PRICES - Be sure to search total price. AT LIBERTY RETREAT our nightly rate includes all we offer. We don't nickel & dime you with additional fees. We don't charge a cleaning fee, no additional guest fee, no linen fee, credit card fees or any other fees that many listings impose. It's all included at Liberty Retreat. Everyone really seems to like it. We know you will too.
WE LIVE HERE on the property. Our home is located about 250' from the cottage. The cottage is semi secluded & due to the foliage we can barely see it, but we're close enough to help if you need something. We may be a couple miles off the beaten path, but that gives you an opportunity to explore the area and see things you've never seen before. It will be worth the drive.
PLEASE READ our Liberty Retreat Policies/Rental Agreement. If you can't find it, please ask. We'll send a copy. You will be required to acknowledge our policies, complete and sign our liability waiver at check in.
** We are currently under construction adding a few amenities. We will only be performing the work when the cottage is unoccupied. It should not disrupt your stay or create any inconvenience for our guests. The back yard is a little muddy, so please avoid. Thank you

Cozy home away from home

A cozy cabin, with a kitchen to cook our dinners, and a hot tub to relax in! We just wanted to get away for a few days. We drove into Jackson a couple times to go to their brewery and coffee shop. We also said hi to the owners dog and cat! Thanks for a great stay.

Comfy and clean getaway cottage!

We really enjoyed our stay at Liberty Retreat. With my wife being a house cleaner, cleanliness is huge for us and we were very happy with everything. The kitchen had all the utensils, pots, pans and seasonings for us to cook all of our meals there. Loved the hot tub and the trails were cool to walk through. We would definitely stay again, especially when the weather is a little warmer!

The house is very beautiful. The layout is simple which gives it the home away from home feeling. Very comfortable beds and a few nice companions that come by to say hello and let you pet them. Definitely coming back here again.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Murray

Host profile image
We are Mark & Sandy Murray. We own and manage every aspect of our vacation rental. We did all the remodeling and building. We do all the cleaning, laundry and maintenance too. It's a lot of work. But we really enjoy sharing our property with others and helping our guests have a pleasant experience while they are away from home. If you need help with planning, directions, places to eat, recreation, sights, events, please feel free to ask. We strive to provide clean, comfortable accommodations at an affordable price. We hope to exceed your expectations.

What makes this property unique

We are Mark & Sandy Murray. Mark is a native Buckeye (useless nut). Sandy is a sweet South Carolina girl. We met in Berlin, Germany in 1983, when the east was divided from the west. For a long time, we desired to move to the country and live on a few acres, to enjoy all nature has to offer. Once we decided what we wanted, we diligently searched for property for about three years, maybe longer. One day, totally by chance, we drove past a For Sale sign posted near the road. 70 acres was definitely more property than we thought we could afford, but we fell in love during our first walk in the woods. We moved into the cottage in 2015. It was in much worse condition than what you see now.
Our property is located on what once was part of the White Farm. Mr. White is a descendent of group of families that moved here from Virginia in the 1800’s. Story has it, that a Virginia slave owner, named William Ragland, decided to free his enslaved persons and had the families brought here to Ohio. He purchased an entire township of land (one square mile) and gave it to the families. White, Ragland, Carter and Fox, are a few of the family names. Descendants still own much of the land in this area. Our property surrounds the Ragland Family Cemetery. Some markers date back to the Civil War era.
Bordering our property to the northeast, is 146 acres known as the Liberty Wildlife Area. The state-owned property was a gift from the Central Ohio Hunters Club in 1956. There is no access to the wildlife area from the cemetery. Only our registered guests can easily access the wildlife area from our property.
We have traveled quite a bit throughout the lower 48 and overseas. Germany, France, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Badlands, all have stunning landscapes. While they all have their special qualities, there are few places that are as beautiful as it is right here in southern Ohio. We may seem a little bias, but we believe it is a gorgeous place to live or visit.
