Photos and Description of the Brush Creek State Forest vacation house rental
Full 3-Level House (not a cabin!), 4 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 11)

Escape to your own luxury hideaway, The ''Sanctuary of Adams County'' -- just a short drive from Cincinnati, Columbus & Dayton. An easy drive from Lexington, KY, Charleston, WV or Indianapolis, IN. This is NOT just another 'cookie-cutter' cabin. This is a 3-FLOOR, FULL-SIZED CUSTOM HOME situated on 13+ acres of total privacy. Just 60 feet off your front porch is beautiful Brush Creek Forest, comprising over 12,000 acres! Don't be hasseled by owners that live on site like other properties.

The main floor features a custom kitchen, hardwood floors, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, arched windows & king-sized bedroom. A private rear deck stretches the length of the home, overlooks the winding creek & on-site stocked fishing pond, & features both charcoal & gas grills.

The loft, with its full-sized bed, features its own Jacuzzi tub plus a double futon.

The lower level features 2 bedrooms, full bath, washer/dryer, & lounge area complete with TV, Wii, games & books

Bring the entire family or just a friend for your home-away-from-home ''Staycation'' or a romantic weekend escape! You can stay in touch with hi-speed internet/FREE Wi-fi.

You'll feel hundreds of miles away but you're really only minutes away. Just a short drive leads you to Miller's Amish Market. Homemade doughnuts and mouth-watering turnovers and other sweet treats await you. Enjoy them there and bring some back with you. Or, visit famous Serpent Mound or Ft. Hill Indian Earth Works, then head back to your home in the hardwoods and relax on the covered front porch. Or just stay indoors, light a fire, relax and do nothing! We have just added an awesome 20'x20' firepit in the woods surrounded by boulders, and a 24'x20' concrete patio complete with a wood stove!

Stay for two nights or as long as you wish. We are priced right (as low as $16 per person per night) so you can afford to come back time and time again. You are always welcome here!

Total privacy - not another home in sight! House located right next to the forest at the foot of Tener Mountain, unlike any other place! Full-size 3-level home - not just another 'cookie-cutter' cabin. Day trips include famous Serpent Mound and Fort Hill to solve their mysteries of Indian culture. Visit Long's Retreat and Mineral Springs for swimming, slides, gamerooms, and other family fun! Miller's Amish and Kliem's Amish stores offer sweet treats and the best-built furniture around. Keep an eye out for horse-drawn buggies! For more culture, visit The Rankin House...one of the most famous underground railroad sites in Ohio. Harriet Beecher Stowe based the character 'Elisa' on a female slave who escaped from Kentucky across a frozen Ohio river to the Rankin House with her child in her arms. Also the Infamous Morgan's Raiders terrorized locals with their quest to round-up slaves who had fled to this area. HISTORY--WE GOT IT!

WOW! Talk about secluded.

5 of 5
Submitted: March 4, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My women's group takes a trip every year. We try to find a nice house out, away from town where we can relax and not be bothered by the every day. This house totally filled the bill. It may be set in the middle of no where, but it is a beautiful no where. The house was clean when we arrived. The beds were comfortable. Most everything worked for us. (The outside grill didn't have any gas.) All in all it was a great experience. We try to go different places each year, but this house is one we would come back to visit.
Recommended for:  Girls Getaway, Sightseeing
Owner's Response: We're sorry the gas grill was out of gas! There is an extra tank there and we will switch them out immediately. We're very glad you enjoyed your stay and the peace and quiet. We'd love to have you back anytime!

BETTER THAN A MASSAGE!

5 of 5
Submitted: October 12, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
A quick 90 minutes from downtown Cincinnati, the Sanctuary lived up to it's name for a girlfriends getaway. Just riding up the driveway into the woods we felt our cares melting away. The trees surrounding the property were awash in autumn glory. The sunlight dappled through the canopy and we were snug in front of the fire. We each had a freshly cleaned bedroom & a bathroom to ourselves- bliss! Deb & Lee's home made us feel so welcome and at ease, and the reservation process was a breeze. (A relief for working moms!) The absolute quiet was a gift. We all left talking about when we will return; together & with our families in tow. A day at the spa could not have compared to how therapeutic a weekend in the forest at the Sanctuary can be!

The Sanctuary was magnificent

5 of 5
Submitted: July 14, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Words cant describe the house and property of The Sanctuary. My family consits of myself,wife and five kids ranging from two thru eighteen and nobody wanted to leave id buy the property in a second. To see the deer,raccons ,wild turkey,and to go fish in your own backyard was amazing. Roasting marsmallows in the three firepits to grilling on the back patio completed every night. I would
Of never guessed this would be in ohio let alone at such a resonable price. Id advise anybody wanting peace in the woods to rent the sanctuary its worth it.

Owner's Response: We are glad everyone enjoys The Sanctuary so much. When we were told we rated right up there with Gatlinburg, that made us very happy. We love the deer and turkeys also.

We had a fantastic time. Lee and Deb have made this a great family place. They are the best property owners I have ever rented from. The firepit is amazing. We sat there till one in the morning because we enjoyed it so much. The house was clean when we arrived. The forest next door is great for riding and hiking. Thank you Lee and Deb!

third timer

5 of 5
Submitted: June 3, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
This was my third time of staying at this cottage/house. Once with couples, once with family and once for a girls getaway. Each time was an extreme pleasure. The solitude, being surrounded by nature and the comfort of the house cannot be beat. The house is very well cared for and each time I returned there were even more improvements inside and out. The owners, too, were a pleasure to work with. I hope to return for a 4th time. PS-The teenagers in the family sought solace and WiFi at the local McDonalds. They have asked about when we were going back!!!
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Girls Getaway, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Carol We're glad you enjoyed your time at The Sanctuary. We've improved yet again; we just installed WiFi, so the teenagers in your family won't have to go to McDonald's unless it's for a cheeseburger! We'll be looking forward to seeing you again!
