About this property

A-Frame Retreat | Secluded | Fire Pit I Nintendo

Constructed in 2012 and recently renovated in 2023, this space showcases a cozy first-floor layout encompassing a living room, kitchen, bathroom (shower), and a comfortable bedroom with a full-size bed. Upstairs, the loft beckons with a queen bed. Enjoy the blend of modern comfort and timeless charm.

If you've ever stayed in a cabin where you are surrounded by other cabins, the A-Frame at McArthur Ridge is the opposite of that. The A-Frame offers a secluded space to unwind and recharge as it shares 26 acres with just one other cabin (the log cabin at the lower end of the property).

While the winter months in Ohio lend a touch of cozy magic to the scene, just a heads up...During this time, the A-Frame might catch a few glances from the neighboring home towards the back of the property. But worry not! The front of the cabin will continue to provide you with privacy.

We do not offer any hiking trails on the property. Hike at your own risk.

Our booking minimum age requirement is 25 years old.

Pet Policy: For insurance reasons, there are certain dog breeds which we can not allow at the property. Prohibited dog breeds include – Akita, Chow, Pit Bull or Staffordshire Terrier, Presa Canario, Rottweiler, Shar-pei and Wolf Hybrid or a mix of any of the breeds mentioned.

Update: Just wanted to give you a heads up about a little update we've made to our A-frame. We've added some skirting to the bottom to make sure those pipes stay nice and toasty during the winter months. 🌨️

The only thing is, we'll have to wait a couple of months before we can stain the wood to match the rest of the place. But don't worry, this won't have any impact on your upcoming stay. We just wanted to keep you in the loop! 😊🏡

Relaxing Getaway

This was the most beautiful and cozy cabin for our girls getaway. We crafted, we read, we watched movies, we hiked. The cabin was easy to find and close to restaurants in town as well as just 25 mins from Hocking Hills hikes. I hope to come back!

Lovely, Secluded Cabin

We enjoyed three nights here with our son and dog. This house was spotless and had everything we needed! The kitchen was well appointed and we were able to cook all of our meals at home. The fire-pit was a lovely touch and we enjoyed it with s’mores on our last night there. Our son also enjoyed the old school video game console while we relaxed in the evenings. My only gripe is that it is about a 30 minute drive to Hocking Hills, but it wouldn’t prevent me from staying here again because we loved the place so much. As a side note, we did end up buying some bottled water because the well water was hard to drink. However, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

A Great Retreat Getaway

This was a wonderful place to stay for a few days. It was secluded and private and yet wasn't far from essentials like the grocery store, restaurants, etc. I would highly recommend.

Quiet Getaway

Everything was better than advertised, wonderful property. Plenty of privacy but not too far from town. Only quarrel with it is that we couldn’t log in to our accounts on the tv and counter space is a little slim. Very versatile and functional, loved our stay.

The A-frame was magical - clean, well made, beautiful - I got extra cool mom points for this pick!

The A-frame was very clean. Appreciated the extra touches of the linens, towels, campfire sticks, etc. The host made it very easy to stay there, even with a last minute trip like ours. My husband appreciated the workmanship and quality of the design and the fire pit area. My kids enjoyed the accommodations including the fire, yard and living area. What a superb find! Highly recommend!

Darling A-Frame

Cutest little house in a secluded location. We had what we needed for a quick weekend away from home. Everything was neat and clean. We were even able to prepare a breakfast and grill out steaks for a dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

Perfect tiny A-Frame in the woods.

Cute little house with everything needed for a comfortable stay. We used the kitchen for breakfast and a dinner with the BBQ grill on the deck. Weather did not cooperate for us to explore the area as we wanted but we would definitely book this place for future stays. We have a student at OU about half an hour away.

Good place

The location was great for our OU visit. The A frame was cool and clean with wildlife all around. Some spaces in the house are difficult for a tall person (only 6’1”) to navigate. Counter space limited and without a table inside, coffee table or end table it was difficult to find a place for things. A chair with a back would be a nice addition. The shower was small and the water pressure extreme. I admire what these owners are doing and the other unit we saw looks to be different and I would stay there. This unit just needs an interior designer to take a look to add comfort.

Grandma/mom/daughter getaway

Property is just as stated, clean, cozy and secluded. It was difficult to find but only bc I failed to read my inbox prior to going. The message left by the host is detailed enough to help one find the rode that leads to the house. The host called us back right away when we had difficulty finding it. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet weekend getaway that enjoys hiking and exploring hocking hills. The kitchen is stocked with basics. There were 4 waters in the fridge to start our stay which we really appreciated. Also some basic condiments. There are plenty of options for watching your favorite shows along with a movie selection of DVDs to help you unwind after a long day. We ate at a BBQ restaurant approximated 30 mins away that was delicious.
