"Such a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. It's not far from all the popular hiking areas. The design is awesome and very unique! The hot tub is right outside and placed to see the water, beautiful forest and all the stars. I have never seen so many stars in my life! It was truly a one of a kind experience for my boyfriend and I. It is a perfect romantic getaway. I definitely recommend 10/10!"
"Its was a beautiful place to get away and just relax with one another. My husband and I enjoyed the scenic view watching the birds while playing a game of Scrabble. We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary and we could not have picked a better place. Thank you Dustin and Raven for a memorable stay. We hope to come back!🫶🏻"
"This was one of the most amazing and unique properties I have ever stayed in. Hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive; it truly is a work of art; spotless in every nook, and felt so far removed from everything. View from the inside is so peaceful and beautiful, it really inspires you to unwind and unplug from everything. The bed was sooooooo comfortable, hot tub was pristine, and watching the bees was a delight. I can't say enough good things, and can't wait to go back again. Raven & Dustin have curated a beautiful space and property. I would give 10 stars if I could. 💜"
"Stayed at "The Pollinator " and it was the perfect cozy little getaway.Very quiet and private. The host are very attentive and nice. We were greeted with many different bird throughout the day especially mornings back patio overlooks a cute little pond,10 mins from local restaurants, 30mins to downtown Logan and around 20 mins to hocking hills. And if you don't wanna leave the property they have trails on the property to hike. Would recommend to any couple looking for a private getaway!"
"We cannot say enough amazing things about this one of a kind, peaceful, private, serene, spotless work of art of a property. Views from the indoor space are so stunning, hot tub was pristine, bed was sooooo incredibly comfortable, unwinding and unplugging from a very busy career was seamless. My boyfriend really enjoyed spending time with the bees. I cannot wait to come back again, & stay longer. Getting lost in nature and this incredible property was such an organic experience. If you are considering booking with them, do it! I can tell that the designers/owners/curators of this property have put their heart and soul into every single aspect, & they are so responsive and attentive to their guests. 10 stars!!!!"
"Wow! What a place. Like staying in an art gallery in the middle of beautiful woods. Loads of genius touches — all hand made by a lovely artist couple who created the place. The fireplace is incredible, with a metal sculpted eagle’s wing across the surround. A stunning infinity lamp made from a tree trunk. And too many gorgeous pieces to describe. Pictures don’t begin to do it justice. Heck, even kitchen cabinets and bath vanities are handmade by them. All surrounded by woods with a hot tub! I can’t recommend this highly enough! Incredible bedding, pillows, and mattresses for the best night sleep ever and it’s spotlessly clean."
