McArthur, Ohio
Feel the magic as you walk in the door and are calmed by the beautiful features of this luxury home with 3 gas fireplaces, huge bedrooms and ample space to spread out.

In the evening, relax under the stars while enjoying the hot tub, porch swing, fire pit or dinner at the huge outdoor dining area.
Book this place! You'll want to come back every year.
This is a huge home, custom built for a large family with ample space for large groups to spread out and an amazing pool! (Note: the pool closed Oct 5th 2022 due to unusually cold Fall temperatures. We hope to have it open in early May 2023.)
Unlike many cabins in the area, this place was built to the highest quality standards-- you won't hear every sound from the next room or hear people snoring in the bedroom beneath you.
The dining table comfortably seats 10-12 and we provide a large folding table that can be set up in the same area for a large group to eat together.
The house has enough dishes and silverware for 20.
The bedrooms are set up with families in mind.
- The enormous master suite has a King bed with a twin trundle bed on the other side of the room (two single mattresses) and a rocking chair for getting little ones to sleep!
- A second King bedroom has a chaise lounge where a child could sleep
- The Queen bedroom also has a chaise lounge where a child could sleep
- The first floor enormous King bedroom/second master bedroom has a gas fireplace and full size couch with chaise (big enough for two kids if needed, but also great for private relaxing)
- The second first floor King bedroom has a gorgeous bay window overlooking an amazing view of the beautiful Hocking Hills area
- The huge finished basement has an enormous couch, including a pull-out double sleeper sofa/bad, plus two foldup futon single mattress/chairs perfect for a sleepover for older kids.
There is one full bathroom in the basement, one on the first floor (which has two bedrooms) and two full bathrooms on the second floor (which has three bedrooms), offering plenty of bathroom options for large groups to have privacy. One bathroom has a tub, making bath-time with kids easier.
We also have a pack-n-play in the closet in the basement, with a mattress and sheets.
The hot tub is a brand new 7-person Hot Spring Salt Water Grandee, the largest size available. The jets are ridiculously powerful (adjustable for people who like lower pressure). Sitting under the stars in the hot tub is a real treat.
The heated pool is incredible. There's plenty of seating for large groups to hang out around the pool. The slide and diving board are super fun. The space is almost too beautiful to describe. The pool has a large stairway area where younger kids can play, and also has two jetted seats for guests who prefer to relax in the pool but not swim.
The house has so many extra touches that will delight you and your group.
- a porch swing
- a private disc golf course on the 35-acre hiking trail behind the house
- a beautiful covered wooden swing in the front yard with an amazing view
- two cute little ponds that kids love throwing rocks into
- a cabin behind the house (no heat or water) that some say is "haunted" and makes a fun little playhouse
- awesome hiking trails
- a beautiful covered outdoor dining area
- a fire pit
- a screened porch (for those of us who prefer to avoid bugs)
- a fully-stocked kitchen, so you can comfortably cook for a large group
- coffee, tea, decaf, cream, sugar, etc
- a nice array of spices
- tons of amenities so you won't have to pack as much
You can walk down the driveway to the General Store, which has a liquor store on site.
The house is also just two minutes from a Dollar General, which has a huge inventory, including basic groceries, toiletries, kids' toys, etc.
A full grocery store is ten minutes away in the city of McArthur, with produce, meats, cheeses, etc.
The house is about a 30-minute drive from Old Man's Cave and Waterfall.
You might not want to leave the house at all, given all the options on-site, but if you're looking for activities, you can find ziplining, canoeing, fishing, a beach, hunting, hiking, horse-back riding, and more within a ~15 minute drive.
The property is 35 private acres. The trails through the woods make a large loop that's relatively easy to follow, with a wire fence indicating the property boundaries. The pool and hot tub are private for guests of this house, but there are two houses nearby that you can see from this house.
We don't live in McArthur, but we have a handyman and cleaning crew who are available for assistance if needed.
The house is on US 50, behind the Cross Creek General Store/Gas Station/ Liquor Store. There's a Dollar General three minutes away where you can buy basic supplies and groceries.
- Use bug spray when you're in nature. Where there are deer, there are ticks.
- The Dollar General, which is a 2-minute drive from the house, has a pretty impressive inventory. If you forgot anything, you can probably find it there.
- The house doesn't have much carpet. If you're used to carpet, we encourage you to bring slippers or house shoes. We provide disposable slippers in the laundry room for guests who forgot theirs, but we encourage you to bring a more cushioned pair if you have some.
- Bathrobes are nice for the hot tub. We really wanted to provide bathrobes, but unfortunately due to the size of the house and number of towels people use, our cleaning crew doesn't have capacity to wash bathrobes between guests, so you'll have to bring your own.
- We would appreciate it if you would be mindful of the number of towels that you use. Between showers, pool and hot tub, they can add up for large groups. We want you to enjoy yourself. If you use a lot of towels during your stay, we'd appreciate it if you have time to wash some of them before you leave, but you are not required to do any laundry.
- Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the house. $500 fee for smoking inside.
- Smoking outside is allowed only if all cigarettes are properly disposed of.
- No parties.
- No pets.
- All guests must be identified on registration. No unregistered guests on property.

- No glass in pool area or in hot tub. Plastic glasses provided. If guests break glass in pool area or hot tub, guest is responsible for full cost of repair plus $500 fine.
- No fireworks of any kind.
This house and property is amazing. There is so much to do, the yard, and trails are massive, and the whole place is just beautiful! We had a wonderful fun-filled weekend celebrating my wife's 30th birthday!
The trip started off a little bumpy with us not receiving the initial email with with information needed for getting in, but that was soon resolved. The pool was a great hit, along with the disc golf course, and zip line! The property was beautiful. The screened in porch was great for the evenings to take in the night and sit and talk with family. We thought there would be a little more room from what we saw in the pictures, but overall, no complaints!
Our family had a wonderful time. The pool was big with a slide and diving board. We used the zip line, swings and disc golf. We had plenty of room for our family. The outside area could use some sprucing up.
Every one had such a great time and swimming pool was great for our grandkids!
Everything was as advertised! Beautiful home and setting! Sparkling clean salt water pool was the highlight for the kids.
We had 7 adults, and 6 young children. Place was a bit smaller than we anticipated from the pix. Screened in porch was very nice. Large back yard where the kids romped. The conveneince store being close was just that - convenient. The pool was a big hit with our crowd and really made the place for us. Clean, heated and large. The slide was loads of fun. A deep end and a shallow end were both great.
Convenient location for visiting Hocking Hills parks yet with private pool, hot tub, hiking path and spacious yard most of us stayed home most of the time and all had fun.
Awesome place for a fairly large group to get together and spend time at the pool, playing yard games, or relaxing in the house
We had a long Memorial Day Weekend visit with all of our children and grandchildren. We had SO much fun. They especially loved the pool, the hot tub and the HUGE yard for sack races, wuffle ball and water balloon fights. We will be returning!
What a beautiful home, just what my friends and I needed to unwind and spend some time together. The home is beautiful, the pool and hot tub was a lot of fun as well. We will ab be beach!
Our family of 11 had a wonderful weekend. The property was clean and secluded. The kids had a great time exploring the grounds and the extra large hot tub was excellent for everyone. Communication was fast and easy. We’d love to come back for another family getaway! Thank you so much for hosting us.
A beautiful property that is clean and had amazing views with nice activities in the house and outside
This was a family Thanksgiving getaway... time for my kids to meet his kids. Two things: 1)Owner depended on a 3rd party to clean and it was not done well. Owner immediatly responded to my messages and we came to a compromise on this issue. 2) Small kitchen (although it did ha ve 2 ovens) to prep a Thanksgiving meal for so many people. Best part for the boys was the kid's zipline. We were not there dujring pool weather.
Beautiful home, comfortable beds and linens, best appointed kitchen of all the rental houses we've used. Kitchen is tight though. If you're planning on doing a lot of cooking (but why?) with a large group, be prepared to be chummy. Was great to have access thru garage. It made unloading super easy and gave a place for coolers and extra gear. The caretakers live next door and couldn't have been better. It was raining, a lot, and the bridge was under water. We were concerned about our children driving across when they arrived after dark, and they offered to take them across in their truck. I was glad to know there was a plan B if we needed it! We were 11 adults but had the 5 grandchildren came there would have been room. All of the bedrooms had somewhere for at least one child to bunk and the basement rec room would be perfect for a kids hangout.
Everything was fantastic could not have asked for a better stay! Would recommend this property to family and friends!!
Great experience. Thanks!
Everyone had a wonderful weekend getaway at this beautiful home. Had everything we needed and more. Best stocked place I have ever stayed. Owner was great to work with. Definitely hope to go again!
From the moment we saw the pictures my group knew we had to stay here! We came for a combined bachelorette/ bachelor party and this house was perfect!! Kate was phenomenal to work with and was so prompt in her responses it made the whole process stress free! Before we even checked out our group was already talking about coming here annually to stay at this place! I would recommend this house to anyone looking for an amazing getaway!
Beautiful home, pool, and hot tub. More than enough space for 11 adults and 3 teenagers. Everyone had their own space and slept very comfortably. Kate was very responsive. We would definitely stay again when in area. We had a really nice stay. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.
Great property, clean, and very responsive. Pool was amazing and clean, home was comfy.
Great location, nice pool, decent hiking trails and disk golf . Big house and great beds
The owner was excellent to work with. We had a couple tiny snags at the beginning of our trip, but corrected immediately. The communication was excellent and easy. The property was great for a family get away. There was room for everyone and enough activities to keep even our teens entertained. Thank you for sharing your home.
This house was very nice and the pool was amazing, I do have to say though that in the pictures the house looks bigger than it was, especially the kitchen, when there are four people trying to cook we were constantly bumping into each other, but everyone enjoyed it and it was such a great vacation for the whole family. I would stay again if we are ever back in the area. Thank you for sharing your house.
great place to stay for the extended family. The pool was really nice. It has everything you would need and extras. Plenty of storage in kitchen and all the utensils and dishes you will need. Beds are comfortable . My grandkids are 1-4. They had games and toys and a large TV in the downstairs level. Awesome outdoor area with firepit and hot tub. There is a nice grocery store and pizza place right in McAuthur. I would recommend the place and I am very particular where I stay.
We had a wonderful stay! Property is beautiful and it was SO nice to have the pool! It's about 25 minute drive to some of the hikes but for us the pool and house was worth the farther location. Great place for families to gather! Would definitely stay again.
