Cabin Borders Zaleski State Forest 40 Private Acres with Stocked Pond

Cabin is also used as guest house so it is close to the main house. We are an operating farm and have the usual farm noises. Private Full bath is located near cabin in Barn.

During your stay you can hunt or Fish on the private property. That is the only hunting allowed on the property. We are bordered on three sides with Zaleski State Forest. Also, depending on the time of year the fishing can be great on Raccoon Creek which we also border. Spring produces good sized Bass. The rest of the year you never know what you might catch. We rent Kayaks for use on Lake Hope Kayak or bring your fishing equipment for the sticked pond..

We have a small Stocked pond with Large Mouth Bass (catch and release only). Hiking trails nearby. Horse back riding, Hocking Hills attractions and Lake Hope are all within 20 minutes.

Also, 15 minutes from Gordon K. Bush Ohio University airport in Albany, OH. If you fly in we can make arrangements to pick you up.

Amazing Property
This was an amazing property with great owners. Dallas and his wife were great and so was their dog Finn. The animals on the property were a plus and it was so much fun feeding them everyday. Cannot wait to go back.

Beautiful Stay ay the Vance Guest House
We had a wonderful time during our stay, so much to do in the area and returning back at the Guest House was the icing on the cake. Vance and Susan were such a pleasure to get to know and they made us all feel right at home. Since I traveled there without my husband, I felt nice and safe being close to the main house. The animals brightened our day and kayaking at Hope Lake was so beautiful. Vance took the kayaks and got us all set up and held mine as I got in it and as soon as he turned, I rolled right over into the water. It was the perfect mishap to start the day. Let me show the grandkids not to get upset, and just laugh. Susan sent me home with some plant clippings also and I have them here with me at home as a perfect souvenir from our travel and a beautiful reminder of our stay at the Vance Guest House.

My son and I stayed here for our 2023 hunting trip. It was perfect for the two of us. Any more people may be tight as the place is small. Beware if you are tall, the doorway is low! Ask me how I found out.....twice! Owner Dallas was very helpful and met us each day to see if we needed anything. When my son was successful on his hunt, Dallas was ready to help any way he could. If we hunt the area again, this will be first on our list of places to stay.

Dallas was a great host and the cabin and grounds were immaculate. The cabin is nicely decorated with a good heater and includes nice touches like DVDs, a tv, a grill, fire pit and wi-fi. There aren’t many restaurants nearby so it is good to have an oven/stove, coffee pot, microwave, etc. I would suggest bringing slip on shoes to use when making a trip to the bathroom in the barn just to make life easier. The property has goats, ducks, a donkey, peacocks, and a cute dog named Finn. The place is located about 20-30 mins from Hocking Hills hiking destinations and about 10 minutes from Lake Hope, and down the street from Zaleski State Forest.

Best VRBO Stay in years
We stayed a few nights at Dallas’s cabin and it was genuinely one of the nicest places I’ve stayed in a long time. He’s incredibly kind and supplies everything you could need, exceptional cleanliness, and even offers kayak rentals. Getting to feed the farm animals was something I did not expect but was a very welcome addition, as was sitting outside with Finn the dog. If I could rate the stay over 5 stars I would. Genuinely incredible location.

Super cozy cabin with everything you could ever need. From plenty of dvds to choose from after a long day out, to animals off all sorts that love attention. The family dog Fin is a blast to play with and the hosts are down to earth people that are some of the most respectful company I’ve met in a while. I could not ask for anything more.

This place was pretty awesome! Very nice and clean cabin. Provided a lot of essentials needed for cooking and cleaning. We really enjoyed getting to play with Finn! Great dog! We also enjoyed the peacocks, goats, and donkeys. It was fun getting to feed and pet them. Caught quite a few fish in the pond! So peaceful walking around on the property. The owner Dallas and his wife were very hospitable and kind. We would definitely go back!

Hosts was very helpful and friendly. We loved all tge animals on the property. The only thing i didn't like was the bathroom was in another location and not in the cabin and this was hard on me because I get up so many times at night to go to the bathroom. Other than that it was nice and peaceful.
