Peaceful historic log cabin getaway on 40 acres - NO cleaning fee!



Welcome to the Rebecca Behm antique log cabin. Named after the wife of Andrew Behm, the original 1864 owner of our private 40 acres. The 2000 square feet cabin is located on a dead-end road with very little traffic, it's the perfect spot to relax and getaway from the hustle and bustle of life. The logs in the cabin are antique, but don't worry, you will enjoy all modern amenities. There is central heat and air-conditioning, to keep you comfortable year round. Do you like to cook? The kitchen is fully stocked with bakeware and a refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher. The kitchen and dining area have an open floor plan. You can dine on the large custom made, reclaimed lumber farm table with plenty of seating for all your guests. Featured in the kitchen/dining area is an antique wood bar and large stone topped table. When the weather is nice you can step right outside the kitchen to the porch to use the gas grill and enjoy the forest scenery while dining at the outdoor table. The living room features a wood burning fireplace (we provide all firewood) and comfortable furniture with cozy blankets for those cool winter evenings. There is a unique antique walnut corner cabinet that contains the television connected to Dish network. There are 3 bedrooms each with queen size beds and pillowtop mattresses. The upstairs master suite has a cozy sitting area and connects to a spacious timber framed bathroom. We provide a full size washer and dryer in the laundry room. The 2 bathrooms have custom tiled showers and hand made vanities out of reclaimed materials. We enjoy collecting antiques and have incorporated several pieces of unique furniture throughout the house. One of of favorite features of this cabin are the large porches that surround the home. The outdoor fireplace (all wood is provided) is great for roasting smores and enjoying the star filled sky.

There are several attractions all located 30 minutes from the cabin. The world famous Serpent Mound, the Wheat Ridge Amish Shops, the Edge of Appalachia and Arc of Appalachia nature preserve hiking trails, Ohio Brush creek which is great for canoeing, kayaking and fishing, Adams Lake State park, Shawnee State Park, Mineral Springs Lake and the Adams County Quilt Barn trail.

We welcome you to the Rebecca Behm Cabin, please come and relax with us!
Our cleaning charges are included in the base price, so there is no additional added at check-out!!

This remote cabin was everything we hoped for. We stayed 4 nights to get away from our busy lives. The cabin was perfect for this de stress from everyday life. If you like the pictures then you will love it here. It was clean and it had everything we needed. I absolutely fell in love with this cabin. I hope to visit ago someday because it was just what I needed at this hectic time in my life. I came back home refreshed and sad at the some time. Sad because I missed this beautiful cabin.

Absolutely Fantastic!
Pictures do not do this house justice. We’ve stayed many places and this is by far our favorite! What a beautifully done home! Not just the build but the attention to detail. Serpell said her husband built this log cabin… he’s a genius to detail. They also had thought of everything we would or could need during our stay! And the on property prairie trails were so beautiful and well maintained! Wow! Just can’t say enough about what a wonderful stay this was. This was a romantic getaway for our 23rd anniversary, but now can’t wait to bring our whole family back to enjoy this wonderful place!

Peaceful Getaway
My husband and I were looking for a peaceful place to get away and unplug for a couple days and this cabin was amazing. It's secluded and surrounded by nature. The cabin was beautiful, very clean, and had great amenities. The fireplace outside was a wonderful spot to relax at night. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the porch and watching all the butterflies and dragonflies on the wildflower field. We even had a couple baby deer that came by each night to graze. It was great for just my husband and I, but would be a fun place for a family as well. I would highly recommend this cabin and would love to go back there someday.

Family had a wonderful time, will definitely stay again. It is off the beaten path and very cozy and rustic. The only downside was Tuesday we lost electric due to a storm but it was back on in matter of a few hours. The owners came to check on us to make sure we were ok and reminded us where everything was.

Great time with a few glitches
The property is beautiful and the pictures are a good representation of the cabin. The cabin was very clean and had plenty of kitchenware to support making meals which we did as restaurants were farther than we wanted to go. It was quiet, restful and exactly what we were looking for. The beds were comfortable and the linens good quality. There were plenty of inside and outside blankets, towels and pillows. Both of our cell phones had adequate reception. The glitches - I was not a fan of the water. It was fine to shower and wash dishes with but cooking or drinking just tasted off. The first night we made a fire in the outdoor fire place and after about 45 minutes we went inside and the cabin was full of smoke. We opened all the windows and the smoke cleared within an hour. That made us a little leery of having another fire the rest of the nights. The cabin still smelled smokey all weekend but we didn't mind that. The next day there were honey bees inside the cabin, but they soon left - it was just odd. Also be aware that you are in a woods and wildlife will come on the deck(s) if you leave goodies outside. We were sure to bring in everything but 3 racoons still visited every night. Oddly they didn't bother the compost bucket or the trash.

Perfect Cabin to Relax!
Our stay was wonderful! Just as expected with lots of quiet, plus being off the grid and all the amenities to relax! Cabin did not disappoint with all the little things the owners thought to include plus it is clean. Rent this cabin and slow down!! Our lives have been hectic since 2020. My business, covid shut down, breast cancer, sell business = run away here and total relax! We will be back!

Hidden Gem
My husband and I spent a long weekend here with our two teens. We had a wonderful stay. The cabin feels rustic and remote, but also clean, modern, and spacious at the same time. The rooms were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything that we needed. The porch overlooking the woods was so peaceful, and we had fun cooking hotdogs and s’mores in the outdoor fireplace. We enjoyed exploring the property - walking the paths, checking out the animals, and finding the geocache. It was a short drive to Serpent Mound, antique stores, and Amish shops. Rain and high winds prevented us from doing a lot of hiking, but we managed to squeeze in the Cedar Falls trail on our last day, just 10 minutes away. The hosts were very responsive and left us muffins as a welcome gift. We would definitely recommend this cabin and would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful Getaway
This is a beautifully constructed cabin, built with old materials, made into an amazingly modern home. Serpell had everything we needed in her beautifully stocked kitchen. It was nicely secluded but we were able to find a great pizza place in West Union, about 20 minutes away.. Bedrooms were very comfortable and easily accommodated our 5 guests. Definitely will be staying here again.

I am hesitant to write a glowing review because I’d hate to let such a wonderful secret out of the bag. What an amazing find! The cabin was much larger than we had expected or the pictures represent. The entire cabin was exceptionally clean and smelled wonderful. This was a great place to spend a winter weekend away from the normal hustle and bustle of our lives. It was so quite that all we could hear was the crackling of the fire and the hum of the refrigerator. The hosts are amazing and very thoughtful people. We only wished that we had a chance to meet. We can’t wait to come back!

This cabin is a little slice of Heaven on Earth - incredible sunset views, beautifully crafted cabin, indoor AND outdoor fireplace opportunities. Our hosts were exceptional. Our stay amassed wonderful family memories. We felt like we were in our own cabin in the woods. We loved being on each of the porches, llngering by either of the fireplaces, and gathering around the beautiful dining table. Exceptional.
