About this property

Stay in a truly unique, two story tiny home style cabin with a porch almost over looking a creek, and 24 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. However, please note that the staircase is narrow and the second floor has low ceilings which may not be suitable for some guests.

'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.

Hobgoblins, Lakes and Trees, oh my!

Personality, care and craftsmanship was poured into the entire property. From the superb woodworking and the beautiful trails, to the cutest little orange koi that we shared our breakfast with! The hostess with the mostest was so helpful, who upon our request, led us around the property and told us the most charming stories of hobgoblins and various town histories and then gave us some much needed directions (like where to find cell signal lol) We can’t wait to stay again!

Cozy and beautiful

Peaceful, beautiful cozy getaway for a couple that loves nature and each other. Sitting on the porch, you can listen to the serenade of bullfrogs, comfortably relax outside by the fire. Use Care on the staircase as the steps are steep.

Relaxing Night

We were looking for somewhere other than a hotel while touring Ohio on college visits for my daughter. This was the perfect “unplugged” relaxing night we were hoping for.

About the host

Hosted by Evan Binkley

My family and I are artists. I'm originally from Ohio, and my wife is from Hong Kong. We lived in NYC, Hong Kong, and now Ohio. We also spend a lot of time in Hokkaido, Japan. We love culture, travel and most of all creating things. These cabins on this land is one of our dreams. We've poured our souls into building them from nothing. We really hope you enjoy them and the beautiful forested land, hills and rock formations that surround them.

Why they chose this property

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.
