Cute Cabin

We had a really nice weekend get away with our family. We appreciated the small touches (muffins, eggs, chips, coffee, etc.), that made us feel very welcome :). The area is beautiful, scenic views and peaceful environment. We would love to go back in the future.

A Well-Curated, Quiet, Gem

The property, communication, check in process and location of this property are all fantastic! We had a nice, quiet weekend away at the property which perfectly fit our needs! The attention to detail/hospitality is something you don’t find in many vacation rentals nowadays! We’ll be back, we loved it! PS - there are ZERO issues with the shower pressure as others have noted in the past!

Quiet Tranquility

Second extended stay at the comfortable A-frame cabin. Had everything I needed. Total sense of privacy. Jennifer and Doug are gracious and experienced hosts. Responsive, available yet not intrusive. Thank you for breakfast, fruit and snacks. So thoughtful and appreciated. The ideal secluded property to escape the noise of the big city.

True Treasure!!

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights to celebrate our anniversary. It was PERFECT! We loved everything about the cottage. We slept so well in the comfy bed upstairs with the amazing fans and open windows. We explored the trails on the property and had a picnic under the trees. The pizza at Park Pizza is top notch. Can’t say enough lovely things about this place. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you to the fantastic hosts!

Weekend getaway

I used to visit the property before when it was part of APS. I remember very fond memories of the property in my early childhood of the 70’s. I am very happy the property found a smooth transition and is still being taken excellent care of. I was very pleased with my stay as we try once a year to get to it.

Quiet and peaceful getaway

This property was quiet and peaceful. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. There was breakfast in the fridge and snacks left for us. We really enjoyed the walking trials, walking the property and having camp fires. It really felt like a home away from home.

Consummate Hosts!

The Hisrich Hills Farm is one very special place. Quiet. Secluded. No! neighbors. I found the A-frame rustic yet comfortable with a lovely direct lake view. Agree with last guest comment that shower head could be replaced. The hosts, Jennifer and Doug, are friendly, available (live on property) and very responsive. At Doug's suggestion I printed out directions to property since phone service can be spotty and GPS takes you out of your way. His directions were specific and exact. Found the A-frame with ease. Did not expect breakfast, fruit and snacks on the house. So thoughtful and appreciated. Thank you! Found the ideal location to just sit in silence. Beautiful property. First visit. Will return.

Nice getaway

GPS didn't quite get us there but they provided detailed instructions that got us to the A frame without issues. The place was clean and we had a bunch of nice surprises in the fridge waiting for us. The muffins were amazing! The pond had canoes and paddleboats to use which was awesome and relaxing. The hosts were responsive and checked in to see if we needed anything. The only minor things were the shower head could be replaced and the wifi speed was very slow. Overall we enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend the place.

A charming place at a magical time

We enjoyed the trip immensely, as it had everything that we were looking for and so much more. The lake was beautiful, the swings were fun, the campfires were relaxing, the wood stove was delightful (and hot!), the cave was magical, the woods were mysterious, and the cabin itself was just so comfortable. The entire area was practically perfect, as if we had imagined it ourselves. The caretakers provided us with everything that we could possible want: firewood, eggs, WiFi, soap, and more firewood; they were very pleasant and accommodating, while not being intrusive. We spent much of our time checking out the local attractions and exploring the environs, but we could have just huddled up at the cabin all day, every day, it was that cozy and enjoyable. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a similar experience.

Loves this place !

The property is absolutely beautiful, we truly enjoyed our short stay. Nestled in the hilly woods , very peaceful and quiet , owners on site and very helpful. This place is truly a hidden gem. You can make a fire , enjoy the scenery of the woods/hills, go on a hike and it feels like you have the whole place to yourself. We will definitely come back when it’s warmer with the kids to enjoy the canoeing and lake. We love this place ! Thanks Doug and Jenn!

Peaceful time in a beautiful place

This is a stunning property hosted by some great people. I have no complaints and it was very difficult for us to leave. Romantic setting with no other houses/cabins within view which is exactly what we wanted. The wood stove provided cozy vibes. Nothing about this place felt run down and was very clean and well kept

Womderful getaway in Amish Country

This is a wonderful cabin with lots of local ammenities and activities. It is still just a short drive from several towns that have more sites and things to do as well. Spring and fall are the ideal times to go as summer means its a tad hot.

About the host

Hosted by Doug McGlumphy and Jennifer Greer

Host profile image
Doug McGlumphy and Jennifer Greer have been married for 30 years and enjoy working and developing our family farm. Doug works as an artist and educator while Jennifer works as an academic advisor. Both enjoy raising their two sons and passing on the property's history to the next generation.

Why they chose this property

Our farm is located on 300 acres of rolling farmland in the Stucky Valley, of Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Originally settled in the 1830's by the Moomaw family, the farm was purchased in 1903 by Doug's great-grandparents, German farmers, Jacob and Emma Hisrich. It has remained in our family for over 117 years.

The farm subsequently passed down to Doug's grandparents, Laura and Vernon Hisrich who lived, raised a family and farmed the property for many decades. After their deaths the main house, outbuildings and land remained underutilized for many years and fell into decline until we purchased them, along with Doug's parents, Ed and Pat (Hisrich) McGlumphy in 1997.

In addition to the built environment, the farm consists of approximately 50% tillable land and 50% woods. In an effort to preserve the property as farmland, a local farmer uses the fields to plant crops for his dairy farm. The remainder acts as a bird sanctuary, as well as habitat for local wildlife.

We enjoy our farm and its family history and invite you to come and enjoy its peacefulness and tranquility with us. It is a labor of love and continues to be an ever-evolving endeavor. There is always something new to look at with each subsequent visit as we always have a new project in the works.

What makes this property unique

The property also includes a historic 1825 log house (VRBO 489786), contemporary log house (VRBO 2213954), and farmhouse (VRBO 2131667) available for rental through VRBO. If rented together all houses offer a great opportunity for extended family or friends to vacation with each other while maintaining social distancing but enjoying the great outdoors.

The cabin and rural setting offers a truly unique experience for couples or a family to get away and relax. We even have a baseball field, hiking trails and an art gallery nearby. Come and enjoy!
