The cabin is just like the pictures. Very cozy and the view with the pond and woods is gorgeous. The cabin is small and simple with everything you need. Owners and property managers are quick to respond and very accommodating. Cabin is equipped with games, cards, smart TV with DVD player and a good selection of DVDs. Not much cell service out there, but wireless was great! Overall great stay. Would highly recommend!
My girlfriend and I were simply blown away. The cabin was as big as a large sweet that we would normally stay in at a Hilton hotel. Everything was perfectly organized clean and safe. The cabin had everything we could possibly want for a weekend getaway. Well working kitchenette with everything you would need to make and eat your own meal right in the cabin. The wood fireplace was easy to use and kept the cabin toasty and comfortable. Everything on the property looked new or in very good condition. From the furniture to the newer Weber Spirit grill on the deck. And small details were very appreciated! Brochures of surrounding attractions and restaurants along with contact information and snacks were left on the table! The entire property outside was beautiful and very well maintained. The walking trails were well marked and easy to navigate. We're only 10 to 15 minutes away from several local eateries pubs and wineries. The note on the pond cottage property details website said that there was a cellular hotspot for Wi-Fi and we were worried about how good the reception would be for video streaming... But we got a perfect signal the entire time were there and were able to stream videos on the Smart TV and continue our normal nighttime TikTok scrolling with no problem đ We are already talking about wanting to come back and spend a whole week next time! I cannot recommend this property enough.
We rented the cottage for our son who is a widower. He had not had a vacation for 5 years and he needed a quiet place to rest & relax. He had beautiful weather and other family could visit him for a few hours each day. He is from Bostdman, Ohio
My bucket list included a solo trip to just re-charge. When I came across the Pond Cottage in my search for where I would go, I was immediately drawn to it. Once I started researching things to do around Austinburg, OH, I booked!! The cabin was peaceful, nestled amongst the trees, the bull frogs serenaded me at night as I sat by the pond and reflected on the day. I adventured to zip lining, shopped at Geneva on the Lake, gemstone shopped at Noema Rock & Gem Shop and stone gathered at Geneva State Park, then took in Rosebella Winery, only minutes from Rustic River Resort. It was a wonderful time, and the cabin was the icing on the cake. It saddened me to leave, but as I shut the door behind me, I knew it wasn't going to be for the last time. I will be back.
Perfect for 2 people. We had everything we needed for our visit. We enjoyed the quiet country setting. A nice grocery store was a short drive and Ashtabula was an easy drive. The purpose of our trip was to observe the total solar eclipse, but we made time to do a covered bridges tour. The trails to the river were enjoyable. Recommend this cottage.
We had a wonderful stay. The place was amazing and felt like a home, not a rental. So many special details. And our host Susan treated us like friends coming for a visit, rather than vrbo renters. She is a gem, and so is the place.
We had an amazing time at the Pond Cottage. The property was clean, cozy, and quiet. Our host Brian was very responsive and helpful! The property is close to wineries and restaurants. The perfect relaxing weekend we needed!
After a crazy summer kitchen remodel and the start of school for my daughter and me (I'm a teacher), our family needed a peaceful getaway and that is exactly what we found at Quail Hollow. When you pull up to the gate of the property and see the amazing bluff, when you get out of the car and hear the rushing river, when you meet the delightful owner, Susan . . . you'll know you've made the right choice of property.
The entire area is incredibly beautiful with lots of hiking opportunities, and yet Markleeville with a great brewery and market is just a short drive away. As for the house and property, the pictures don't do it justice. The view is jaw-dropping and the house itself is gorgeous and incredibly cozy. A bedroom and bathroom are on each side of the house, with a wonderful living room with stunning fireplace and comfy reading nooks -- a great fit for our family! We hope to return, sooner rather than later!
We have stayed here numerous times now and every stay has been Quiet and enjoyable. The pond Cottage has been very clean and the owners have gone out of their way to make our stay enjoyable.
