"Ridge Haus" tiny cabin of Waldbaden

Please check on our new listing, "Ulysses", if the cabin you are looking at is not available on the date you are desiring to visit.

Stay in a truly unique, two story tiny home style cabin with a porch almost over looking a creek, and 30 acres of woods, hills and wild life. Explore the trails and experience nature conveniently near the lively culture and arts town of Athens, Ohio, and Ohio University. However, please note that the staircase is narrow and the second floor has low ceilings which may not be suitable for some guests.

'Waldbaden', our name for the land where we have built cabins, is the German word(s) for 'forest bathing'. The concept behind 'forest bathing' is that the trees are therapeutic for mental and physical health. We are not experts in the practice of 'waldbaden' but we definitely find our bit of forest rejuvenating and we hope you do too.

Please feel free to walk the trails and see the nature, but also be aware that it is mostly untamed nature and that your exploration is at your own risk.

* Steps are narrow and a little steep inside the cabin.

** We keep our cabins clean and tidy. However, they are located in a forest, and occasionally, insects visit them. We do not use pesticides as the residual chemicals of using them are likely to cause harm to our guests and nature, where as the insects are not. Please be aware of this, as we do not offer refunds for the presence of nature.
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be close to Ohio University. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cabin.
  • Air-conditioned cabin with kitchen, fridges and microwaves
  • Free WiFi
  • On-site recreation includes a playground
  • 13 minutes by car from Ohio University and 11 minutes from Wayne National Forest Athens Unit

Happy little cabin

I loved my stay here! The cabin is cute, comfortable, and clean. The location is splendid. I came out for a couple days because I wanted to relax and spend some time in nature, and this was perfect - birds and frogs were singing all day, sitting on the porch and reading while the rain fell on the creek, trails nearby. It was just lovely. And, bonus, the owners didn’t leave a mile-long list of chores to be done by the guest at check-out, just a few basic courtesies that I was happy to do. I’ll absolutely be visiting again.

Clean Cabin

It was not what I thought, much smaller than imagined. Maybe since we are seniors, it was not ideal for us. We only stayed one night vs 2 that we planned.

Hobgoblins, Lakes and Trees, oh my!

Personality, care and craftsmanship was poured into the entire property. From the superb woodworking and the beautiful trails, to the cutest little orange koi that we shared our breakfast with! The hostess with the mostest was so helpful, who upon our request, led us around the property and told us the most charming stories of hobgoblins and various town histories and then gave us some much needed directions (like where to find cell signal lol) We can’t wait to stay again!

Cozy and beautiful

Peaceful, beautiful cozy getaway for a couple that loves nature and each other. Sitting on the porch, you can listen to the serenade of bullfrogs, comfortably relax outside by the fire. Use Care on the staircase as the steps are steep.

Relaxing Night

We were looking for somewhere other than a hotel while touring Ohio on college visits for my daughter. This was the perfect “unplugged” relaxing night we were hoping for.
