My husband and I enjoyed our quick stay for our anniversary in this cabin on a working ranch. The owners were fast in communicating back and forth. You can ask to tour the ranch during their chore time at which time you can get up close with the highlanders and see their goats and chickens. Margot and her husband were very nice and we enjoyed our conversations with them. This is a cute place to stay and perfect location. We definitely will stay here again if out this way.

Farm stay

We had a fantastic time. Margot and John were wonderful hosts and my 5 yr old loved helping out with the chores. The cabin is as described and the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked. Margot dropped off her homemade goat cheese and bread and it was a real treat. We absolutely plan to return again next year!

Lovely Remote Ranch

It’s a lovely ranch, the property is stunning and the hosts were kind enough to show us around. It had everything you need, my only caution would be that the beds in the room with the bunk were definitely not made for two adults

A sweet farm get away

The small house where we stayed was humble, clean, and nicely decorated with great books on the shelves. It was lovely to be by a pasture with wide skies and green rolling hills all around. At night we opened the windows to hear the peepers and farm animals quietly living alongside us. Margot and John were gracious hosts. We loved joining Margot for morning chores and meeting all the animals, especially the dogs.

Very kind owners

Margot and John were incredibly kind and welcoming. My partner and I stayed over the weekend, and got welcomed with brownies and shown around the farm for chores. Completely optional but completely worth it to see the animals and get to know both of them! We had our car get stuck due to weather at the end of our stay, and they offered us food and helped us move our car. Incredible kindness and we will be back!

Perfect cozy cabin for our short vacay after Christmas! Super clean, perfectly situated for enjoying Lake Hope State Park, the Lake Hope Furnace and other local attractions. Lots of board games, books, a fire pit, a grill and a well stocked kitchen. Will definitely return!

Best place we have ever stayed!

John and Margot have a jewel of a cabin and are wonderful people. The cabin is cozy, the animals are adorable, and getting to be part of the help even in freezing weather was a treat for me and the family. Couldnt have asked for anything better, it was perfect. If you get the chance do yourself a favor and come visit the ranch!

Wonderful relaxing stay

We had a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing stay. John and Margot were excellent and gracious hosts! My daughter and I chose to help with morning chores so we got to be up close to the animals which was great! They taught us a lot about the animals. The cabin was clean and comfortable. I definitely recommend staying here. We will most certainly stay here again when we are down that way.

Peaceful Weekend Away

We loved our stay at Homecoming. The property owners John and Margot were lovely! They took us out to see the cattle and showed us around the property. We were also able to assist and watch feeding the animals the morning of our last day. They also left us a sweet treat in the cabin when we arrived. The property is easily accessible on the corner of two main roads and a quiet retreat. We would definitely stay here again!

Cute little cabin on a gated farm.

Cute little cabin on a gated farm in a quiet location. It had a picnic table and propane grill we used daily. One of our favorite things to do was to visit around the camp fire nightly and visit with friends. Daily we talked to the owners, that lived next door. They were very friendly and helpful with information on the area. Great location for hiking all the Hocking Hills trails.
