Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Jackson County

Great host and great property. Highly recommend.

Spacious, peaceful setting for a family gathering. Clean and comfortable with a well-stocked kitchen. Close to Old Man’s Cave and the wonderful beauty of the State Park. We would enjoy returning to this property again.

I have no bad words to describe my stay! The location was perfect for my work, very private, extremely clean and was exactly as described on the website. I definitely plan a return trip to stay at this property.

My daughter and I had a fabulous stay in Rio Grande! The home was perfect and exceeded our expectations! The online pictures didn’t truly capture the charm of the house. It was clean, comfortable and organized. I had the best sleep! Bed was perfect! Thank you Bobbi! Staying at your home was a wonderful experience! We will be back!

Ron and Karen communicated what we needed as tenants very well. When I was starting to think about checking out I already received detailed instructions. The amount of amenities that they provided was second to none. I have nothing but good things to say about staying at this place and working with Ron and Karen.

Jane and Mike ensured that the house was pristine and clean prior to our arrival! They were very communicative and made sure that they were there to greet us and check if we needed anything. Everything is clearly labeled with easy instructions and many recommendations for local places as well as activities to do on the property! It was an easy 15 minute trip to the OU campus! I highly recommend this house!

Overall, we really enjoyed the stay here. The hot tub worked amazingly and it was easy to use. The instructions and expectations were all laid out and nothing was overcomplicated. It really was a beautiful scenery and gorgeous interior. Perfect for “getting away from it all” to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature.

One of the most amazing and beautiful places I’ve ever stayed at! We had lots to do at the house when it was raining and more when it wasn’t. If you want amazing views and a cozy spot this is your perfect stay! Honestly I would have payed double for our experience. Our host was very friendly and responsive whenever we had questions! This is the place to stay and we can’t wait to come back what a wonderful experience! 10/10

Seth's place was perfect. We decided last minute to get away for a few days for the holiday weekend. His place was in the perfect location with several restaurants and bars within walking distance. One was right next door. I saw that some people mentioned they were concerned it might be loud at night - it wasn't at all. They had a festival going on in town too which we were not aware of so that was a bonus for us to get some fair food and listen to music on the street. Plus Seth's place was inside the Dora area so we were able to get a Dora Cup from the bar and sip our drinks while walking back to our room. The apartment was very clean, the beds were very comfortable, he supplied all the necessities like toilet paper, coffee pods, shampoo, conditioner, towels, etc. We would most definitely stay here again if we are back down that way.

The place was just has described. It was very cozy.

My husband and I stayed at Idyll Reserve 5 (The North) for two nights in January and had a fabulous stay! 🌲❄️ The cabin was thoughtfully designed, tastefully decorated, and very spacious for the two of us (& could accommodate a small family easily). It had all the amenities you’d need for a cozy stay — spacious, fully-stocked kitchen (with coffee & espresso maker! ☕️), comfy couch, living room with large windows & beautiful views of the surrounding woods, walk-in double shower & soaking tub, and our personal favorites — the outdoor hot tub and sauna! Laura was extremely responsive and communication regarding check-in was the best I’ve had with an Airbnb host. We could have easily stayed several more days. Hocking Hills State Park is just a ~10 minute drive away (we did some gorgeous hiking to Ash Cave, Old Man’s Cave, and Cedar Falls all within a half day). We’re already planning our next trip back with our kids! 🥰

Nice, small, relaxing place with a pond. Close to Downtown McArthur. Easy checkin. Nice people. Will definitely stay again.

What a wonderful retreat! I stayed by myself as a little momma get away and it was perfect. The Zucchini bread is as good as everyone says! The hot tub was wonderful! The hosts were extremely responsive whenever I needed anything and really helpful! There are even games and toys for kids/toddlers if that is what you’re doing. I of course was vacationing FROM the kids toys lol but I love that if we go back there are things for the kids. Be advised that this is a basement apartment so you’ll hear footsteps and sometimes muffled voices just like you would in any house. It didnt bother me at all! The views are spectacular and the property is just so peaceful. 10/10 would recommend for sure!!

Retire, traveled for 25 years, the bed was one of the top 5, I have enjoyed. For a century home the room was spotless, the original wood floors were beautiful. The neighbor hood is a series of century home on a quiet street. Walked to the local restaurants everything is 10 minutes close. We’re enjoyable visit.

I loved staying here! It was close to everything you would need and the accommodations were wonderful. Ben is a great host and very responsive. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

The property matched the description and the photos. It was very quiet and peaceful. Bed was comfortable and parking was right out front. Tonya was responsive to the one time I had a question. I will definitely stay here again when traveling to the area. I was there for work and will be back.

This property is exactly what we were looking for…secluded, private & breathtakingly beautiful. We spent our 4 days relaxing outside….we used the amazing pool, hot tub & cold plunge daily. We explored the wooded trails they have marked out. At night we built a fire & made s’mores. Prior to arriving I purchased add ons & Keith or Raya responded to all my questions quickly. They set up a couples massage & an in cabin chef…both were AMAZING. When we arrived, check in was easy peasy & Todd was delightful to chat with. Once settled in, anytime we needed anything we just sent a text to the office & had a reply ASAP. But the most important thing to me is that is was SUPER CLEAN. I am OCD about the places we stay & even though we have stayed at many “luxury” hotels & resorts…I have never been so impressed with the cleanliness as I was with The Observatory. It was by far better than expected, so peaceful & we felt right at home. We love it so much it will now be our yearly anniversary getaway❤️

Loved this spot. Close to all the great hiking spots, beautiful home, modern, yet fit right into the surroundings. Highly recommend!

We have stayed here twice and loved it both times. The house is secluded but still close enough to town. It’s very peaceful and comfortable. Having the pool is amazing.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The pictures online don’t do this place justice, it was gorgeous inside and out. It was kid friendly/ private and had everything we needed. Brian was great; let us get inside a few minutes early when we arrived. We will definitely be back!

Our family stayed at Villa Rock for a few nights, and it was fantastic. The shared living space and outdoor areas were perfect for hanging out together, and the bedrooms provided privacy when needed. The property was very peaceful and the trails were perfect for getting soaking in nature between trips into the park. We plan to stay here again the next time we are in the area.
