About this property

Rusty’s Loft w/pond views! 70 plus positive reviews!

Rusty's Loft is a second story chalet style one room apartment, with 360 degree views of Farm fields, pond and woods. We kept the walls to a minimum to preserve the views. There is a large wrap around deck with views of the pond. The 900 sf space includes a full bath and full kitchen with all appliances and accessories. The full bathroom is fully furnished with lots of towels and most bathroom necessities including soap, shampoo, conditioner, tissues and tp. The space includes a unique queen size bed made of Texas cypress. The new couch folds out and there is a queen air mattress for the third bed. Linens are included. This is just one room, so there is little privacy, but it is very cozy. A nice sitting area allows for games or conversation and the bar has four swivel bar stools for dining. Gliders are available for viewing the animals grazing across the road. Behind the loft is a campsite with two rockers and a double person swing with a view of the pond. A fire ring and firewood is provided for your campsite enjoyment. Rusty, the steer and Lexi and Little Bits, the mini horses are fun to watch and meet. The barn across the road is available to explore and also see our barn kitty, Brindle, and the chickens. The creek on the property runs 1200 feet to the south branch of the Portage River. Hiking trails cover the property and the pond is available to kayak, or swim. Sunsets are amazing here and the limited light makes star gazing possible. Quiet and remote, Rusty's Loft is the place you've been looking for to unwind and de-stress.
We use an ozone generator after the loft is thoroughly cleaned to purify and sanitize the space leaving a fresh, clean space for each guest. Pets are welcome with an additional fee.
We have only rented for a couple of years and everything in the space is nearly new. We have a new hearth with simulated fire. A faux sheepskin rug makes the space comfy and warm. Fostoria is a short 6 miles away with dining and shopping including a full Kroger with liquor.

Another great stay with Rusty

This is the second “Rusty’s” property hosted by Jay and Heather that I’ve stayed at. Both were great. The loft is clean, comfortable and well stocked. The location is bucolic and serene. Jay and Heather are helpful, responsive, hospitable and truly want their guests to have an excellent experience — which I did.

Just a nice little spot to relax for a couple of days. It's exactly ad advertised!

We wanted a pleasant place to stay and relax for a few days. It was potentially. Great setting, close enough to town to go, secluded enough to not care. Our hosts were excellent, the apartment was perfect, the property was lovely...

Beautiful property!

We had a short but sweet stay. We really appreciated being allowed to stay just one night as many places need at least a two or three night minimum. We felt welcomed and very comfortable. I wish we’d had more time to enjoy the gorgeous scenery! We definitely recommend!

I booked this property for a week-long writing retreat, and it was perfect for my dog and me. The place is lovely, the hosts are warm and friendly, and the natural beauty refreshed my soul. I can't wait for an excuse to come back for a visit to this home-away-from-home.

We loved the property! There was plenty of space for our family and 2 Corgis. We enjoyed the paddle boat on the pond. We bought their fresh eggs and honey to bring home with us. The hosts were great!! We'll definitely be back!! Thank you.
