Our cabin is located right on Apple Valley Lake just outside of Mt Vernon, OH. The house is a beautiful 3750ft. log cabin with 3 levels, 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 decks overlooking the lake. You can enjoy our dock that has comfy furniture, large table and chairs with umbrellas. Relax and have fun swimming, floating and fishing off of our dock while enjoying great views of the lake (Apple Valley lake is private and therefore only access from our dock is permitted). In the winter time it is a great place to getaway, SnowTrails is only 20 miles away where you can ski, snowboard and tube. Our favorite is night tubing! When weather permits you can ice skate at Malabar Farms, only 19 miles away. The house is decorated for the Holidays, each bedroom has a little touch of Christmas and warm comfy bedding.

On the main floor is a gourmet kitchen with everything you could need, a cozy great room, one bedroom with queen size bed and full bath The 2nd floor has the Master Bedroom with king size bed, and a bedroom with a twin over full size bunk bed and a full bath. The lower level has a bedroom with a queen size bed, and a bedroom that has 2 twins beds with pullout trundles for sleep for 4, we call it the kids bedroom, a full bath and 2nd family room with 65” TV, set up with cable, and options for Netflix, Hulu and more.

The lake is 511 acres and is known to be the cleanest lake in Ohio. It is a beautiful setting. Relax and have fun swimming, floating and fishing off of our dock while enjoying great views of the lake. In the summer you can watch the Osprey catch fish. In the fall and winter, American Bald Eagles are often seen.

While staying at our cabin there are so many fun outdoor activities in the Knox and Ashland Counties you will never be bored! Mohican State park is 15 miles away where you can enjoy hiking, canoeing, tubing, go-carts and more. If you like adventure, there is Tree Frog Canopy Tours https://www.treefrogcanopytours.com on Wally Road which is less than 25 mins away. Malabar Farm State Park is 20 miles away, and if you like shopping at quaint little shops, visit Berlin in Amish (36 miles)country for a full day, make sure you have breakfast or lunch at Boyd & Wurthmann Restaurant (cash only). There are also great shops on the way in Millersburg. Kokosing River Canoe is only 10 mins away, they offer canoeing, kayaking and tubing down the river, https://kokosingvalley.com/canoeing/canoe-and-kayak-rates. If you are a golfer you can’t get a nicer public course than Apple Valley Golf Course which is open to everyone.

PLEASE NOTE: Apple Valley Lake is privately owned and regulated, so while you can use our dock for swimming, floating and fishing you will not be able to boat or use the beaches/pools, those amenities are reserved for property owners only.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: We have an 8 person maximum for the fee listed. THIS POLICY IS STRICTLY ENFORCED. NO LARGE PARTIES, EVENTS OR GATHERINGS ARE ALLOWED.

    This was our second stay at the house. The first time was over a long weekend in October. This trip we stayed a full week in August. The view was great from the porch and the dock. We visited Malabar Farm and the grist mill- both were very interesting. The house is very spacious and accommodated all 8 of us. The registration and payment processes were easy. Mike and Tricia were responsive to questions and provided all instructions when they said they would.We hope to go back in 2026

    Just totally awesome. The house has everything you need, having the private dock is a game changer. Relaxing, swimming and fishing a few steps from the house. My family had a great time, one of the best places we have rented in years.

    Preseason lake neighborhood was quiet and private. House was really great, as was communication and coordination with the owners. They were so pleasant to deal with.

    Had a really great weekend here with family to celebrate Christmas. Loved all the Christmas decor. The house was good, plenty of room for everyone and had all the amenities we were looking for and the owners were really responsive. The only downside was would have been nice if the fireplace was working but they informed us before.

    A combination of family and friends stayed at this great home over a three day October weekend. We loved the hominess of the rental and the view of the lake from the deck was fantastic. We did some hiking, tackled the Aerial Park at Mohican State Park and relaxed. The house was close to a Wal Mart for shopping, along with some local restaurants. The owners were great to work with - their responses to our questions were timely and helpful. We are considering reserving time at this house during the summer months next year.

    This is the second time my group has stayed at this house and it was as amazing as the last. We are golfers and the amazing courses close by, the serene views from the porch, and the refreshing lake are as good as it gets.

    We had an amazing weekend for the Lake. The weather could not have been any more perfect. The location was perfect from the house to the water. Relaxing and it felt like home. My only complaint is you have to be a member in order to rent a boat being a private Lake. Everything you need is there.

    Beautiful house in the lake. Great kitchen living set up. Bathrooms were clean and somewhat updated. The closets were musty and lacked places to hang clothes. Overall a great location and space right on the lake.
