“We’ve cruised Alaska, Skinny Dipped the desolate beaches of Molokai Hawaii, driven Route 66 and the pacific coast hwy. We’ve been to the Colorado and Canadian Rockies, visited the Frontenac in Quebec City and the Chateau in Lake Louise, Alberta. Swam the ocean at Prince Edward Island, Camped from Nova Scotia to California and from Canada to Florida and to think a place this unique and relaxing is right here in our home state – 250 miles from home! As McArthur said “We shall Return!”

“Peace, quiet, and serenity. All good medicines to rejuvenate the soul & spirit. Sitting on top of the Rock watching the morning fog over the lake, or watching the glowing embers of the campfire, so very soothing…….You have carved out a little paradise. The cabin was warm and cozy, the hot tub relaxing, and the woods peaceful. Thanks for providing us city folks a place to hide!”
Steve & Pat | Columbus, Ohio
“If I’d had more time, I’d have melted into the fabric of this fabulous cabin & little piece of beauty & peace on earth! Love it, Love it, Love it!!!”
Cindy | Bowling Green, Ohio
“Thank you so much for a wonderful three day weekend. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and all the details are amazing. Even in January weather, the hike up to Big Rock was great and we’re glad we ventured out. On our next visit, we’ll be sure to bring enough food for the whole stay. I figured we’d enjoy a night out, but we didn’t want to leave! We ended up getting a pizza to bring back to eat while snuggled up in front of the fire. While we didn’t want to leave, we’ll return to the world refreshed, relaxed, and ready to face whatever life throws our way.”
Brad & Cindy | Galloway, Ohio
“I would write some long wonderful message about the cabin, but I’m too relaxed right now to think and I don’t want to interrupt this wonderful, peaceful feeling. We debating getting a gun and holding up hostage in here for a week or two (ha ha). Best Wishes on continued success with the cabin!! We will be back!”
Paul & Kelley
“We had a wonderful time celebrating our 22nd anniversary. Our favorite part was sitting in the hot tub watching the humming birds. Can’t wait to come back!!”
Roger & Lisa | Blanchester, Ohio
“We were impressed with every detail! You thought of everything!! Your little oasis washed away the everyday grind and brought back the truly important things in life. From the cozy atmosphere of the cabin to the tranquility of the outdoors. It has been everything we hoped for and more. Your labor of love and the touch of family history made our visit even more special..”
Jeff & Terri | Beavercreek, Ohio
“We had a terrific time here at Big Rock Cabin! Can’t think of a single thing that you guys haven’t thought of to make your guest’s stay a wonderful experience. We came to enjoy a few days of horseback riding, which is always a thrill up in these beautiful hills. But to come back each day to enjoy this cabin afterward was the icing on the cake! Thanks for doing such a great job!”
-Larry & Lori | Cincinnati, Ohio
“Three words…Details….Details… Details!! We loved it! It was a very great thing to get away from phones, kids and clocks for a while. We really enjoyed this little lover’s getaway that is not far from home. We both had a wonderful 4-year wedding anniversary. Can’t wait to come back and stay in Glen Erin.
“P.S.…loved the hot tub so much that we want one at home.”
Tom & Lauren | Minford, Ohio
“Thanks for your wonderful hospitality & such an awesome cabin! We were able to unwind after two long hectic days of wedding preparation and we become like jelly! The view from Big Rock was amazing. Being up so high, listening to the birds and nature….truly a blessing. I felt like Old Raridan’s spirit was watching us. We plan on returning as soon as we can.”
Kathy & Andy | Delaware, Ohio
“What a special place! Trails and outcroppings were a sight to see. Hot tub was wonderful. I gathered nuts and acorns along the trails and brought them back to feed the squirrels but they preferred the sunflower seeds out of the birdfeeder. Try the steak and onions rings at the Tavern. Loved the outdoor speaker to listen to music while in hot tub, grilling, or out by the fire! We will be back!”
Amy & D.J.
“The cabin is beautiful and peaceful…We will be back for sure for another getaway…..Thanks to both of you, for the wonderful memories we will have about this place”
Audrey & Sean | Columbus, Ohio
“Just what we needed! You can see the attention to details as well as the heart and soul you have poured into your property and cabins. We will absolutely be back. We loved all of the little touches of Gobbler’s Knob and got such a kick out of the turkeys! The window wall was beautiful to wake up to each morning We didn’t venture into town much but loved the grill. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your little piece of paradise for a short time!
“P.S. Best cabin rental we have ever stayed in…hands down!”
Nancy & Erik | St. Mary’s OH
“Best weekend getaway we have ever had. This is our 31st anniversary. This place is just amazing. Wish we had found it sooner. We will be back.”
Barb & Tom
“Erin and Val, we absolutely love this place and look forward to it every year! This year, however, we decided we love it here so much that we wanted to come twice. We have never been in the winter so, this was definitely new and exciting! From the fireplace to crunchy snow walks and hot tub relaxing time (especially funny when our hair had icicles on it because it was so cold). We never Sir Snarles though on this trip. We missed him as our tour guide. Thank you for always giving us the most relaxing and enjoyable getaway ever. And we think the cardinal might have a slight attraction to the disco ball. Haha. So funny to watch. See you soon!”
Luke & Heidi | N. Canton, Ohio
“We came here 5 years ago for our honeymoon and we’ve been back every since. I can’t imagine spending our anniversary weekend anywhere else. See you next year!
“Our 13th Wedding Anniversary has been memorable because of our stay here. We have enjoyed Erin & Val’s creative approach to the building and decorating of this cabin. The privacy and beauty here is unrivaled. Upon checkout we will schedule our next check-in!”
-V & T | Columbus, OH
“This is our second stay in 10 weeks! We loved our first stay so much we decided to come right back. This time we had lunch in Jackson at Arch and Eddies. The mushroom appetizer is the best we’ve ever had. Love hiking the trails and watching the buds from the hot tub. All was perfect!”
Eileen & Jim | Michigan
“This place has turned out to be our perfect romantic getaway. It puts the “r” back in romance and after 31 years of marriage and three kids later, this “diamond in the rough” inspired us! The hot tub was great on a damp rainy day while having a drink & listening to the Moody Blues. Having no agenda does a person good. Thanks for sharing this amazing place! Good luck with your next cabin. We can’t wait to see how creative you get with that one. We’ll be back, hopefully for a longer stay!”
Tom & Nancy
“Thanks again for a great weekend. Thank you even more for the champagne and glasses on top of Big Rock. It was even better when Todd got down on one knee & asked me to marry him up there. I got a “big rock” on “Big Rock”! We are in love with your cabin and everything that comes along with it. We can’t wait to come back in the Spring. Thanks again for making this weekend so special. I will never forget.”
Haley & Todd
“By far the nicest cabin we’ve ever stayed in and we’ve stayed in MANY! The cabin couldn’t have been designed better. It is a piece of art. Yep, we “get it”!!! The sound system Rocks! We’ll be back and will send more N.E. Ohio friends!”
