Our Story

The Art Park Legacy

Our property sits on part of what was the original Art Park—a creative community drawn to the beauty and remoteness of this Athens County valley.

The cabin is surrounded by woods, boulder formations and a natural pond with bamboo grove. Trails wind through 24 acres of woods, surrounded by hundreds of undeveloped acres. In spring, morel mushrooms emerge along the hillsides. Year-round, you're likely to spot deer, wild turkey, and a variety of birds.

We're 15 minutes from Dow Lake, 20 minutes to Wayne National Forest trailheads, and 35 minutes to Hocking Hills State Park. Local favorites like Jackie O's Brewery and Little Fish Brewing Company are less than 10 minutes away.

Come enjoy the peacefulness of the valley that keeps us coming back!
