"Laurentius" cozy one room cabin on a Koi Pond

Relax with this peaceful cabin overlooking a koi pond. Stay in a truly unique, small home style with a porch view of 30 acres of forest creeks, hills and wildlife. Explore the trails and experience nature conveniently near the lively culture and arts town of Athens, Ohio, and Ohio University. PLEASE NOTE If you have challenges relating to mobility, we may not be the right place for you. The ground is often not level, and some of our steps are narrow to accommodate tight spaces. The space 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. READ THIS BEFORE booking our cabin. The name of our campground is Waldbaden Acres. Waldbaden is German for 'forest bathing'. These cabins are in the forest and surrounded by trees, ponds, and all kinds of nature. If you want a cabin that is surrounded by a wide path of manicured lawn and large paved parking spaces, DO NOT choose us! There are many guests who really appreciate our rustic, and creative aesthetic that is nature immersive, but occasionally there are those who rent our place and realize too late that they have chosen to be closer to nature than they are comfortable with. It is really in everyone's best interest that people who are uncomfortable with sleeping in a cabin where nature is not an arm's length away, not book our accommodations. 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. This cabin is cozy and comfortable with great nature views. Guest access Special Event Notice: On September 12th, a music festival will be taking place on the property featuring live, loud music. Guests staying that night are invited to join in, but please ensure you are comfortable with the noise before reserving! You may explore the trails on our land, but please pay attention to the signs and realize you are doing so at your own risk.
