Wren Eagle Retreat is surrounded by forest, close to Chillicothe and very early Ohio history, and perfect for a quiet family weekend, a church group, scrapbooking or quilting group, corporate retreat, or any other getaway occasion. Wren Eagle Retreat offers many of the comforts of home albeit in a natural environment (with low-flow toilets, LED bulbs in most places, natural (and effective) cleaning solutions, recycling, and easy access to kayaking, biking, hiking, historical sites, and much more that Chillicothe and the surrounding area has to offer. Wren Eagle Retreat is also well-insulated so it uses less heating energy in the winter, and less AC in the summer. I do not use AC and you are not compelled to use it either although it is available! The multitude of trees ensure fresh air and cooler temperatures, and the windows and leafless trees allow winter sun to provide heat along with the wood stove insert, an easily renewable fuel. But, for those who want it, there is central heating , also. So whether you stay for a week or two or make it a long weekend you can experience history and nature, and engage in many other activities. Or simply relax on the expansive deck and enjoy birds (including owl and whippoorwill), deer, lizards, toads and other wildlife found on the 31+ acres. Cathedral windows flood the main floor with light including the great room with stone fireplace with efficient wood stove insert, dining (with seating for 12) and a fully equipped kitchen with many modern conveniences. The sofa pulls out to a full bed and the main bedroom boasts a king bed and sitting area. The loft, with its seven windows, looks out on the forest and makes you feel as though you are staying in a tree house. It has a queen bed, 2 twin beds, and a half bath. Through the loft double glass doors you have a forest view on three sides for a comfortable tree house experience. Outdoors, you can grill your steaks on charcoal grills under the covered deck when it's raining, or simply sit and rock and enjoy the peace. The open deck is mostly shaded during the summer for your comfort and has 3 tables that can seat 12+ along with patio furniture. If you get your fill of lazing on the deck, you can always take in local shopping, ride the Paint Creek Recreational Trail, or visit museums. You're only about 5 miles from anything you might do in a city: eat fast food, go roller skating or bowling, sit down at a local restaurant, or watch a movie. You can drive to the First Capital District and walk from there to Yoctangee Park and visit the art museum then walk along the flood wall. Or you can drive to Memorial Stadium and watch a very entertaining college summer league baseball game by the Chillicothe Paints or, for more entertainment, take in the outdoor drama Tecumseh. There are golf courses for golfers, kayak services for kayakers, and many good churches. There's so much to do that a week will not be sufficient to explore everything and you will want to return time and time again. If you start at the First Capital District and walk south you can explore the Ross County Museum district and some historic homes. Or you can drive to the Adena Mansion and visit the home of Ohio's first governor. There are many state parks and wildlife areas nearby. Among them are Great Seal State Park, Scioto Trail State Park, Ross Lake, and Buzzards Roost Nature Preserve where the tiny saw whet owls are banded each year and where you can see an exquisite cliff-side view above Paint Creek. NOTE: I have video doorbells, and security cameras in the great room and kitchen and outside on or around the deck. I do not monitor them during rentals unless something unusual is noted (eg. fire/smoke alarm, sustained outdoor noise) I also have glass break sensors in various places because there is so much glass at Wren Eagle Retreat. No cameras are located in private areas (bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, etc.). There's so much more to do and see. Contact me for more suggestions. And BTW, I often cannot accommodate last-minute rentals (may need 2 or 3 days or more) because I clean, launder, and make beds and equip bathrooms slowly and carefully. I cannot give you any direct way to contact me because VRBO does not allow it. You'll just have to send me a message through VRBO. And if you'd love to hike at Wren Eagle Retreat do stay on the marked trails. It's easy to get lost in the woods! And even I have gotten lost off-trail! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - No elevator - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: You may smoke outdoors only. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Recycling - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Unit size: 1,700 square feet - Water dispenser usage encouraged - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![2 bedrooms, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116880000/116870500/116870447/5e9b1130.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sleep 6+ adults, new 2 Br 1 Ba adjacent to Bell Manor.
