This cabin is beautifully renovated and exceptionally clean. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed to cook meals. The bed was very comfortable, and the thick towels were a nice touch. The view from the porch overlooking the wetlands is very pretty, and we enjoyed seeing a lot of wildlife. The water is actually the tip of Choctaw Lake. Excellent host. Know before you go!A few things to know before booking: the photos make the setting appear more serene than it felt in person. While it is true that it’s about one mile from the freeway by car, it’s only about 0.3–0.35 miles away as the crow flies (verified by Google Gemini uploading Google maps and Chat GPT), and traffic noise was very loud. Semis and cars could also be seen through the trees on the right side of the view. Directly behind the cabin is a row of houses; across the road is a Marathon station and the entrance to the Choctaw Lake community. The photos also make the backyard look larger than it actually is.Overall, we would definitely stay here again as a stop while traveling—the cabin itself was perfect for that. We had booked two nights hoping for a peaceful, quiet getaway. Unfortunately, because of the traffic noise we ended up spending much of our time in the Yellow Springs area about 30 minutes away. If you’re looking for a convenient and very clean place to stay while traveling, this is a great option. If your priority is a quiet retreat, it may not be the best fit.
