About this property

Enjoy a truly unique lodging experience in this relocated and resurrected c. 1820 log house and c. 1840 addition. Moved from Coshocton County, Ohio to our location in Tuscarawas County, the main structure recreates a pioneer atmosphere with authentic period furnishings and a romantic cooking fireplace. The adaptive reuse of the timber frame addition combines historic and contemporary aesthetics with modern conveniences.

Whatever your style or preference, we aim to make your stay at our cabin a truly unique and aesthetically pleasing experience.

Located within the heart of Amish country, just 9 miles from Sugarcreek, Ohio and 19 miles from Berlin, Ohio our 300-acre farm and cabin offers convenience to great area attractions, but most of all prized, private tranquility and seclusion. Come, get away to a different era or relax with modern amenities. Sit in the log house and feel what it may have been like to live on the Ohio frontier. Imagine the workings of an authentically reproduced stone cooking fireplace but use the well-equipped up-to-date kitchen. Experience sleeping on an authentic rope bed or spread out on a contemporary queen-sized mattress. We offer a great location to read, write, make art, hike, observe nature or just relax.

Whether you are looking for a getaway by yourself, as a couple or with your entire family, we can accommodate you. The air-conditioned log house provides sleeping arrangements for up to six people. The main room has a full-sized rope bed, and the second-floor bedroom contains a queen-sized bed. A fold down futon couch is located in the sleeping loft of the addition.

The timber frame addition has a fully equipped eat-in kitchen with solid wood counter tops, sitting area with comfortable reading chairs, a satellite TV with DVD player and a private bathroom with great corner shower. There is also a washer and dryer for your convenience.

The base price listed is for two people to make the cabin reasonable for couples. Additional fees apply for larger groups beyond two people. We do not charge any additional fees for cleaning or use of other outdoor recreational features of our property. Sorry to the hunting community, but we are unable to allow hunting privileges with the rental of the cabin.

Please check out our other vacation rental homes (VRBO 2131667 and 2213954) on the same property if traveling in larger groups or with extended family.

Old Fashion Christmas

This was our second stay at this unique and beautiful log home. At our first stay we knew this would be the place to celebrate our first Christmas away from home. The home gave us a quiet, peaceful, old fashion Christmas with our children and their spouses. This home transports you back in time where things were simpler and quieter. Doug and Jen are gracious hosts who make themselves available to make your stay comfortable and easy. The home was simply and tastefully decorated for Christmas which we very much enjoyed, and also the fresh muffins, eggs, fruit and morning beverages. I love this place!

Quiet gem in Ohio

Extraordinary property. The small and sometimes whimsical detail in restoration was a joy to discover. We stayed for our anniversary and will return. The owner clearly furnished the cabin with items that truly felt like being at home. Even had Band-Aids which I needed upon my arrival (another story).

About the host

Hosted by Doug McGlumphy and Jennifer Greer

Doug McGlumphy and Jennifer Greer have been married for over 30 years and enjoy working and developing our family farm. Doug works as an artist and educator while Jennifer works as an academic advisor. Both enjoy raising their two sons and passing on the property's history to the next generation.

Why they chose this property

Our cabin is located on 300 acres of rolling farmland in the Stucky Valley, of Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Originally settled in the 1830's by the Moomaw family, the farm was purchased in 1903 by Doug's great-grandparents, German farmers, Jacob and Emma Hisrich. It has remained in our family for over 110 years.

The farm subsequently passed down to Doug's grandparents, Laura and Vernon Hisrich who lived, raised a family and farmed the property for many decades. After their deaths the main house, outbuildings and land remained underutilized for many years and fell into decline until we purchased them, along with Doug's parents, Ed and Pat (Hisrich) McGlumphy in 1997.

In addition to the built environment, the farm consists of approximately 50% tillable land and 50% woods. In an effort to preserve the property as farmland, a local farmer uses the fields to plant crops for his dairy farm. The remainder acts as a bird sanctuary, as well as habitat for local wildlife.

We enjoy our farm and its family history and invite you to come and enjoy its peacefulness and tranquility with us. It is a labor of love and continues to be an ever-evolving endeavor. There is always something new to look at with each subsequent visit as we always have a new project in the works.

What makes this property unique

The property also includes an 1870s farmhouse (VRBO 2131667) and a contemporary log house (VRBO 2213954) available for rental through VRBO. If rented together all houses offer a great opportunity for extended family or friends to vacation with each other while maintaining social distancing but enjoying the great outdoors.

The cabin and rural setting offers a truly unique experience for couples, families or friends to get away and relax. We even have a baseball field, hiking trails and an art gallery right outside your front door. Come and enjoy!
