Description of the Brush Creek Forest vacation home rental

Escape to your own luxury hideaway, The "Sanctuary of Adams County" - just a short drive from Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton or an easy drive from Lexington, KY, Charleston, WV and Indianapolis, IN. This is NOT just a cabin. This is a 3-level home with over 2800 square feet, 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. It is your own private paradise, unlike any other! All for as low as $16 per person per day! Nothing compares to The Sanctuary for price, location, and accommodations. We also offer hi-speed Internet and FREE Wi-fi.

The main floor features a custom kitchen, hardwood floors, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, arched windows and a bedroom with a king-sized bed, flat-screen TV and DVD player. A private rear deck stretches the length of the home and overlooks the winding creek and on-site private stocked fishing pond (catch and release only). The rear deck also features both a charcoal grill & a gas grill.

The loft, with its full-sized bed, plus full-sized futon, features its own full bathroom with Jacuzzi tub!

The lower level features 2 bedrooms (1 queen & 1 full), 1 bath, full-size washer & dryer, and lounge area with 55" TV, DVD and Wii gaming system, a wide selection of books and board games, plus a wood stove for chilly nights.
Bring the entire family or just a friend for your home-away-from-home "Staycation" or a romantic weekend escape!

You'll feel hundreds of miles away but you're really only minutes away. 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.

Area Information

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 or bring some back with you. Or, you may prefer to visit world-famous Serpent Mound or Ft. Hill Indian Earth Works, then head back to your home in the hardwoods and relax on the front porch. Or stay indoors, light a fire, sit back and do nothing!

Also nearby, you can enjoy boating and fishing at Rocky Fork Lake and Paint Creek State Park. Explore caves at Highlands Nature Center, then have dinner at Moyer's Winery overlooking the Ohio river.

Long's Retreat offers a beach, swimming, paddle-boats, canoeing, water slides, game room, horseshoes - major family fun, at a very low cost!

COOL waters await at Mineral Springs Resort all summer long. Fish, swim, relax. Call for details. Close by is Davis Memorial Forest Nature Preserve, home of the Ohio beaver and complete with nature trails.

FULL 3-LEVEL HOUSE (not a cabin!); Amish country; private on-site stocked fishing pond (catch and release only); 2 fishing poles on property; 3 bicycles on property; Satellite TV provided; Wii gaming system; FREE Wi-Fi; FREE long-distance telephone; corn hole; horseshoe pit; fire-ring with free firewood; swimming nearby at spring-fed lake. The Sanctuary borders 12,000 acres of forest--step right off the property and take a leisurely stroll through the woods. Or stay inside, light a fire, relax, and do nothing! The Sanctuary is one of the last remote places on God's green earth, so cell phone usage is "spotty" but we offer a landline with FREE long distance so you can stay in contact with friends and family the whole time you're there! Our property is supplied with clean, pure county water unlike other rural properties. If you wish, please bring your own adult beverages since Adams County is a "dry" county.

Top Notch Family Getaway

May 11, 2013

We stayed here for the first of what we hope will be many years of vacations with our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter (and one on the way!). The grounds are beautiful, the house is incredible and the owners are so easy to work with. They have thought of everything to help you have a good time. From the hammocks hanging between the trees, to the patio where I listened to the birds while reading a book, to the fire pit area with the cozy circle of chairs, this property says "come on in, relax and forget about whatever was stressing you out". The house is beautiful and spacious for those rainy days and the property is wooded and beautiful to explore on sunny days.

Excellent Stay!! Wonderful Owners!!

July 17, 2012

First of all the owners of this property have gone out of their way to provide for about every detail. We have rented homes before but none have gone to the extent they have to provide so much. (All we needed to bring were our clothes and regular weekly groceries.) Plus we were so pleased with the owners going the extra mile to provide extra bikes for our family. Thank you!! The house is very nice and set in a beautiful mountain setting. It is well kept and well maintained. It was so relaxing to just sit out on the front porch or the deck and catch up with the other family that stayed with us. Sitting in the spacious family room provided a comfortable atmosphere to visit in as well. My oldest daughter enjoyed laying in the hammock to read. There is a beautiful fire ring area and also a patio. Going for walks or bike rides on the seldom traveled road as it winds through part of Brush Creek State Forest was great. There are also a few hiking trails within a short drive. The kids loved the fishing. I could go on and on. It was just a great time to spend with our friends and family at such a great place. I boast about this place every time the topic of vacation comes up.

Awesome Place to Stay!

May 24, 2012

We were a group of athletes who stayed at the home to participate in the endurance triathlon event in Portsmouth. We wanted a "home away from home" where we could stay as a group instead of being cramped in a dingy hotel room. This property lived up to all of the positive reviews and much more. We had more than enough room for all of us (7) and our equipment. It was true what Debbie told me "just bring yourself and your food" and everything else is provided. Although we didn't have too much down time, it was great to have a comfortable home to relax in. The kitchen was very well equipped and the perfect place to make dinner in, and the downstairs area was so comfy to chill and watch tv and just hang out in. Cell reception was pretty null; however, of all of the rooms, we sometimes got a bar or two of reception standing in the main floor bathroom. Having the home phone to use was also great to be able to get in touch with our families. When we first walked in to a note from Lee & Debbie welcoming us, we knew it would be a great time, and it definetly was a great time had by all of us. We hope to be back again next year and maybe stay an extra day so we can enjoy that fire pit that we didn't have the time to enjoy.

What a find!

April 20, 2012

This place was an amazing escape from our everyday craziness! Close enough to home to prevent us from losing half our trip driving, but far enough away (and remote enough!) that easy access to daily life wasn't a factor. The house was welcoming, stocked with amenities, and the owners were incredibly accommodating. I will definitely rent this property again!

Beautiful!

I hesitate to say what I really thought of the home because everyone will want to rent it and it may not be available next time we want to go! It is a beautiful home in a beautiful setting. We fell in love with the porches and the sound of the creek in the back. The kitchen had everything you might need (except maybe ice... the fridge dispenser wasn't working). We took some lovely drives around the area and visited Miller's and Serpent Mound. We had a wonderful time!

A very Serene Sanctuary

March 25, 2011

The place is called The Sanctuary and it lived up to it's name.The house was awesome and very well kept. I enjoyed the covered porches immensely. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It was a very peaceful setting and everything anyone would need was available, the only things you would need are food and clothes. the rest is provided for you. The kitchen was very well equipped. The jacuzzi tub was very inviting and relaxing after hiking around the property too. I have recommended the house to many of my friends and some of them are looking into staying there as well.

Fantastic view. Fantastic home.

November 16, 2010

My three friends and I stayed at The Sanctuary for a scrapbook retreat. The home was perfectly accommodating to our needs. The only thing we did not have here that we have had at other rentals is internet. It was close enough to drive to the outlet mall a day, drive in to eat at El Charro's, run to Walmart if you need to. Lovely home. We will definitely be back.
