Our property is a short 2 miles to both mountain-bike trailheads for the Baileys Trail System (Chauncey and Doanville) and backs up to Wayne National Forest. This is a great location to get away and still be close to all the adventurous opportunities Southeast Ohio has to offer! We welcome you to bring your own mountain bikes and fishing poles! Firewood is included with your stay. Additional firewood and fishing bait can be purchased at the local Marathon gas station, which is only 2 miles from the property. We do not allow swimming in the pond or use of ATVs anywhere on the property.
