A Historic 1800s Log Cabin Escape in Blue Creek, Ohio
If you feel like life has been moving a little too fast lately, I’ve found the perfect place to hit the pause button. Tucked away in the rolling foothills of Adams County is the Andrew Behm cabin—a stunning, restored 1800s log home sitting on 40 private acres. And the best part? There is no cleaning fee. You rarely see that anymore!
This isn’t your average cookie-cutter rental. The cabin was reconstructed using original hand-hewn logs and stones from historical structures built over a century ago. It’s got that authentic, rugged soul, but with the modern comforts you need to actually relax.
A Cozy, Low-Tech Sanctuary
The Behm cabin is “intentionally low-tech,” which makes it the ultimate spot for a digital detox. While there is a TV with Dish Network and a DVD player, the real entertainment is the wood-burning fireplace and the breathtaking views of the Ohio wilderness. It’s the kind of place where you actually talk to each other, play games, or finally finish that book you’ve been carrying around.
With 1,400 square feet of space, it’s surprisingly roomy. The cabin features:
- Sleeping for 6: Three queen beds with pillow-top mattresses for a perfect night’s sleep.
- Handcrafted Details: The kitchen features unique concrete and antique counters, and the master bath has a cool rock counter and antique sink.
- Two Full Baths: No fighting over the shower here! Both bathrooms are updated with beautiful tile work.
40 Acres of Pure Nature
Outside, the property is a dream for anyone who loves the outdoors. You’ve got 40 acres of woods to explore with abundant wildlife and walking paths. My personal favorite feature? The timber-framed gazebo with a picnic table and grill—perfect for an afternoon BBQ. There’s also a fire pit for stargazing (and yes, they even provide complimentary firewood for both the indoor fireplace and the outdoor pit!).
Explore Adams County
While you could easily spend your whole trip on the porch, you’re less than 30 minutes away from some of Ohio’s best-kept secrets. You can visit the world-famous Serpent Mound, explore the Wheat Ridge Amish Community, or go kayaking and fishing at Ohio Brush Creek. If you’re a hiker, you’re right near the Edge of Appalachia and Shawnee State Park.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet family retreat or a peaceful solo getaway, this cabin offers a slice of history that’s hard to find elsewhere. It’s time to trade the screen glare for the glow of a firefly.
