CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

The Magnolia Dome is the first of several exciting and unique projects we are developing at Whimsical Woods. Because of this, we like to inform guests that the area is in active development, so some building work may be taking place in the vicinity. It should not be very disruptive to your visit as much of the development is reasonably spaced out!

We assure you that we are doing all we can to make sure that your experience at Whimsical Woods is magical, relaxing and everything you expected and more. We want our guests to be aware of this in case you encounter any of it over the course of your stay. Working hours are typically (9:00-5:00).

We are projected to be completed on our second Dome addition this Fall.

Please exercise caution as you might come across deer, squirrels, snakes, sugar glides, salamanders, mosquitos, turtles, crayfish, ticks and other bugs and animals who are part of the ecosystem of the region. If bugs and wildlife are not your thing, this might not be the place for you!

Health, safety and the well-being of our guests are of upmost importance.. For this reason, we use a through cleaning process after each check-out.

    Ana was amazing, the heaters had clogged filters and she had someone out so quick to take care of it. Checkes on us to ensure everything was okay and offering additional electric fire places if we wanted them. The dome itself is beautiful and you can see every detail was carefully thought out. Of all the cabins and rentals we have been in this was definitely our favorite stay!

    This place was so relaxing, unique, awesome host and will be in the top 3 of the best places I have stayed in the last 20 years. My best friend and I came down to Dad's weekend to hang out with his son and 2 friends. We watched the OSU game together and laughed so much and then everyone took a nap before we went outside to cook some dinner. Just a magical place, I would have given it a 6 star, but they would not let me. MUST STAY! Thank you again Ana for being such a great host and we will be back!

    It was our first time staying in a yurt and it was fabulous! It was very clean and well thought out, even providing slippers and robes which were very handy for the hot tub! The outside was perfect for hanging out, very private and peaceful (we even saw a deer come up pretty close). I have already recommended this place to family and friends and would definitely come back again!

    Can’t say enough about how amazing this little spot is. I booked it for me, my daughter and her two best friends to celebrate her 20th birthday. You should have heard them gushing about how beautiful and amazing it was even from the time we pulled into the driveway.Very cute signage outside. Adorable patio, fire pit and hot tub area. We really appreciated the hot tub area being covered as it rained for our entire stay. Since it was covered we still got to enjoy it! And the rain was actually a bonus because the sound from inside the dome was like being in a tent while it’s raining (but WAY more comfortable with air-conditioning and cozy queen beds!)The decorating was over the top cute and so beautiful. Very bohemian style with loads of cute details everywhere. Very clean and inviting. We all said we wished we could stay forever, and we’re already thinking of how to get back!Smooth transaction and excellent stay! No notes. We will definitely be back!

    Our family loved our time at the Magnolia Magical dome after a college tour of Ohio University. The dome was such a fun change of pace from a boring hotel room. The decor is charming and all the little details were appreciated from the night sky projector to the slippers for the hot tub. The guys enjoyed mountain biking at Baileys ridge just 15 minutes down the road. If we end up with Bobcat in the family, we will be back! Thank you.

    This place is truly magical! The check in process was incredibly easy, Ana is very responsive, the dome was spotless and surrounding property were spotless. Unfortunately, the time we spent there was a very rainy weekend, but we were still able to spend a lot of time together inside as a family. Although kid friendly, I would say more for older children. Our 18 month old was very interested in the various decorative trinkets and the upstairs balcony for the two queen beds plus the stairs made for a bit of anxiety. Otherwise, a wonderful experience and I hope to return to stay with Ana once her second dome is completed!

    Beautiful property with all the amenities. Really amazed by the thought and detail put into the home and contents. Two friends and I spent the weekend, and despite rain and horrible weather were able to enjoy the property and community immensely. Extremely peaceful surroundings and wonderful set up!

    The Magnolia was an amazing and unique place to stay. We had the best time playing games, sitting in the hot tub and soaking in everything there was to offer. We all would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and peaceful weekend.
