We loved our visit to Malabar Orchard! The grounds were extremely well kept and there were mowed pathways back to the well-stocked fishing pond. I caught five large bass in about an hour! It was peaceful and a great getaway for my wife and I. The owner tells you to bring drinking water, and that was great advice as the tapwater is well water and smells pretty poorly, but Mike has done a great job in putting together the rental property. I would recommend it highly for a getaway, especially if you like to fish.

Malabar Peach Orchard
Beautiful property. Very peaceful. A good spot for an artist retreat for me. My husband joined me on the weekend. Our dog was welcome. Cozy and laid back. Good working kitchen and bathroom. Close to Malabar farm. The restaurant has a pet friendly patio and exceptional food for the price. A lovely stay for my retreat.

Absolutely Peaceful and Beautiful
We definitely will be back! After a lil misunderstanding, Pam went above and beyond to rectify any issues. That in my book speaks volumes of integrity of Pam and staff. My lil family consists of me, my boyfriend and our fur baby ..and this was the perfect get-a-way we needed. The property is absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to see what it’ll look like in the fall. We stayed upstairs and everything was perfect! Definitely recommend booking here.

Stayed three nights, left one night early
The description did not match the property. Privacy was a concern-wall was blocked with boxes showing light that appeared to come from tenant below. Fire pit and property was poorly kept. Bed was comfortable and was satisfactory for our limited time in the rental.

Wonderful and peacful.
We enjoyed our fall stay at the Malabar Orchard. Our dogs were in 7th heaven with all the space to run around and explore, find a few moles. We also enjoyed walking the orchard and down around the lake. Having a few bon fires and a little corn hole and axe throwing. Saw a few deers in the evening along with the most beautiful star lit sky. This place has such a homey feel, just like vistiting family, every forgotten need was here, coffee filters, sugar etc. We will definatly be back!! Winter and Spring. Thank you guys much

Beautiful location!
It's very peaceful here, just lovely country. You'll see all kinds of wildlife right out the windows! Mike and Pam are wonderful, quick to respond, helpful with anything you need. Excellent local pizza and ice cream shop just a few miles away. There is so much to do nearby, this is a perfect location to call home base. We toured Ohio Reformatory, hit up Charles Mill Lake, and still relaxed with fire and s'mores at the house at night. We will be back, there's so much more we want to do. Oh and, the peaches are fabulous here too!

Casual, spacious setting near Mohican State Park
We picked this place to be near Mohican State Park, and we found it convenient as a base. Also for arrival and departure, it's a quick hop-skip to Interstate-71. The VRBO rental itself is casual with a big common room that has a studio, recreation vibe to it. All communication was via email and text with Pam, and it was beyond prompt. Her responses arrived less than minutes after I sent out my initial inqiury.

Great quiet place
My husband and I had a few days to call vacation, so we wanted a nice and cozy and farm feeling of stay. Looking through Vrbo I found this orchard kind of place. It was better that we needed, close to lots of things to do, places to visit...we had a wonderful time. Pam was very helpful and polite and made us feel right at home away from home. Thank you, Pam. We will be back, for sure!!

Wonderful stay out in the Country...
We had a great 5 days at this country place. Easy to get to for us to visit family. The wifi worked great and it was nice to have a tv. Full kitchen was nice to have meals. Lots of hot water for showers. The queen bed in bedroom was a bit hard for us so we slept in the bed in the living room with the nice pad on it. The 2 window unites worked well, plus the ceiling fans and box fans. Loved to sit on the deck and drink coffee. Saw a deer and her twins. Loved to walk in the orchard and to the pond.

Peaceful Getaway
Owners are friendly & helpful. Peaceful location close enough to other places of interest. Though it was a little difficult to get to a nice spot to fish, they were sure biting so the guys loved it. Having options of games & table tennis scored big as well. Timing a visit when the fruit is ready would be an added bonus in the future.

Relax with social distance
We loved the apartment. It was unusually hot for early June. The AC units in the upstairs apartment did the job of keeping us comfortable, especially for sleeping 6 people. We cooked most of our meals while there. Everything was in great condition & easy to use. The unit is far away enough from the more heavily used cabins in the area, that we felt safer health and safety-wise. We were just a short drive away from nice hiking trails and river tubing. We were very pleased with our stay. We highly recommend it.
