Birthday Weekend Getaway

We spent three nights at the cabin and had a great time. It snowed on one of the days we were there and we had such a great view from the front porch watching the snow come down. We also enjoyed a nice walk on the property trudging through the snow.Thank you Shane for sharing your cabin!

Annual MLK weekend getaway.

We stayed at this cabin last year, and the kids wanted to go back. There was plenty of room for 3 families and me, Grandma. The kitchen was large and fully equiped as we took turns cooking meals.

Peaceful 2 nights

We had a great stay, the property was beautitul and the house was cozy. Tried checking in early but was never really given a straight answer. 4pm check in is quite late in my opinion. We caught bass in the pond andnenjoyed some fresh air, Mohican State Forest was nearby and Loudonville was fun to explore. Overall, the house was way too big for our family of five but we would definitely come back with more family this summer. Thanks for the quick trip!

Nice getaway

The property was remote and spacious. Loved the location. It would have been helpful to know we needed to purchase wood on the property if we wanted to have an indoor fire so we could have brought cash or check but we made it work. Thanks for a wonderful place to get away to

Friends weekend

We had a great weekend at Babble Brook! A very spacious cabin, each family took a floor! We were pleasantly surprised by how well stocked the kitchen was and the kids enjoyed the many toys available and running around on the beautiful lot. The *only* downside is how squeaky the floorboards are on the main floor-if your group isn’t trying to avoid disturbing overtired toddlers at bedtime then it probably won’t bother anyone.

A Quiet Piece Of Heaven

The seclusion of this location was what sold us.This was the perfect place to get away for our family. The weather did not cooperate for us to enjoy the fish however that didn’t stop the kids from bundling up and hanging out on the paddle boat for hours. We lost track of time sitting on the porch just laughing and talking. The fire pit area was so nice. There was no shortage of blankets to wrap up in. Our only “issue” when traveling with our parents was the fact there was no bathroom on the top floor, however we all got in our exercise. The cabin was stocked with everything our kids needed to play with! Great memories were made which made for a great trip.

About the host

Hosted by Shane Bocock: Owner / Property Manager

Host profile image
Ever since they were kids, both Shane and Melissa spent a lot of time outdoor in the woods on family camping trips, hiking, canoeing and fishing. It was always their dream to do the same with their kids. In 2006, Shane and Melissa had their first child, a beautiful baby boy. They decided that Shane would quit teaching high school chemistry and stay at home to take care of their son. About the same time, Shane and Melissa purchased a 42 acre plot of land near Warsaw, Ohio. During the next three years, the Bocock Family grew with the addition of two daughters and they spent a lot of time hiking, fishing, picking berries, camping, relaxing and saving money. During this time, they also thought how nice it would be to build a cabin that Shane--while still staying home with the kids--could rent out, allowing others to enjoy the beauty of the property. With the state of the economy, the idea was both exciting and scary. However, in the spring of 2011, Shane and Melissa felt the time was right. They wanted to build something special that would add to the already unique property. The Woodbury Cabin was started in June of 2011 and finished by the end of October the same year. Within days of listing the cabin rental online, calls started coming in. By 2014, with all dates filling up yearly at the Woodbury Cabin, Shane and Melissa decided it was time to add another rental. They came across a farmhouse that bordered the Mohican Forest in early 2015. They immediately fell in love with it, bought it, and turned it into a nightly vacation rental called the Mohican Farmhouse. In 2017, The lodge at Babble Brook was purchased near Mohican State Park as the third secluded vacation rental with a private pond!

Why they chose this property

Once you arrive at the Lodge at Babble Brook, you will experience the country charm of this rural gem. With a private pond, barns and pastures, in the heart of Mohican Country, the Lodge at Babble Brook is a unique opportunity to experience the peace and quiet of country life while enjoying all the nearby attractions and activities!

What makes this property unique

There are so many favorites with the Lodge, it's hard to decide what to do when you get there. The 40ft covered front porch has rockers and a relaxing swing overlooking the pond. The pond always seems to sparkle in the sunlight. The great room is so open and tall and the giant stone fireplace and huge mantle is such a nice place to gather with family and friends. The loft is a comfy spot to sit and read. The kitchen is spacious and the bar makes it easy to lay out a "buffet."
