A short distance to Kenyon college, Honey Run waterfalls, hunting, fishing, Apple Valley Lake, Kokosing bike trail and Ohio Amish country. You won't run out of things to do. Then relax and unwind with a seasonal heated outdoor shower and peaceful patio to watch the sunsets and the abundant wildlife. Located directly on the Kokosing River. One neighbor within view but are seasonal. Very quiet peaceful place. Eagles are abundant in the winter and if you're a birdwatcher this is the place for you. Very comfortable Queen size Serta bed. The double sliding doors offer a beautiful view of the river even from the bed and can be opened in the summer to offer the relaxing and calming sounds of the river. Enjoy a movie or your favorite music on the outdoor tv or bluetooth speakers on the deck or enjoy a fire while watching the river. You'll have the whole place and property to yourself. Honey Run Falls is within 5 mins and Kenyon college in Gambier is a short distance from the cottage. The 30 mile paved Kokosing gap trail runs along an old railroad bed and is a short 2 mile bike ride from the cottage. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83680000/83671400/83671359/3ddb68aa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Duff St. Farmhouse at Kenyon College Gambier - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 26 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-28&endDate=2025-12-29&selected=83671359&PinnedHotelID=83671359&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76990000/76981100/76981068/cf309a2a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Renovated Bunkhouse on 12-Acre Horse Farm!
