Secluded 5-Acre Oberlin Escape · Saltwater Pool & 6-Person Hot Tub

Oberlin Getaway — Private 5-Acre Forest Retreat with Heated Saltwater Pool, 6-Person Hot Tub & EV Charging
Welcome to Oberlin Getaway.
This isn't a cookie-cutter rental. It's a fully renovated 4-bedroom retreat on 5 private wooded acres where the nearest neighbor feels miles away and the loudest thing you'll hear is birdsong in the morning and fire crackling at night. Genuine seclusion. Resort-quality amenities. Zero compromise.
Whether you're here to completely unplug, host a family reunion, celebrate a milestone, recover from a grind, or base camp for the best of Northeast Ohio — this property delivers at a level most rentals simply can't match.

THE OUTDOOR SETUP IS THE MAIN EVENT
Most properties have a patio. This one has a resort.

Heated 20'x40' saltwater pool — open April through September. Saltwater is easier on your eyes, skin, and hair, and this pool is kept in immaculate condition year-round
6-person hot tub — open year-round. Cool Ohio evenings hit different from a hot tub with the tree line overhead
Breeo Smokeless Fire Pit with sear plate for cooking over the fire — firewood included. Pull up the chairs and let the night run long
Completely private outdoor space — no shared amenities, no neighbors peering over fences, just your group and 5 wooded acres


FIVE ACRES OF WOODED SECLUSION
This isn't a subdivision lot dressed up with landscaping. It's a genuine forest retreat.

Complete privacy from neighbors on all sides
Mature wooded acreage ideal for morning walks, birdwatching, or simply breathing
Abundant space for families and groups to spread out and decompress
A setting that makes you forget you have a phone


THE HOUSE — SPACIOUS, RENOVATED, AND READY
Fully updated raised ranch with modern finishes throughout. Four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and enough common space for a group of 8 to coexist without anyone feeling crowded.
Bedrooms — all queen beds:

Bedroom 1: Main level, easy access to primary living areas
Bedroom 2: Main level, shares floor with primary bath
Bedroom 3: Lower level, quiet and private — ideal for light sleepers
Bedroom 4: Lower level, great for families wanting a separate kids' zone

The rest:

Living room with flat-screen Smart TV and comfortable seating for movie nights or game day
Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances — plenty of space for group cooking
In-unit washer and dryer
Central AC and heat throughout
Two full bathrooms


REMOTE WORK READY

435 Mbps Wi-Fi throughout the home
Dedicated workspace for productive stays
Forest seclusion plus reliable connectivity — a combination that's genuinely hard to find


ECO-FRIENDLY AND EV-READY
One of the few vacation rentals in Northeast Ohio built for the way forward.

Solar powered home — stay comfortably and tread lightly
On-site EV charging — arrive, plug in, wake up to a full charge every morning


LOCATION — NORTHEAST OHIO'S BEST HOME BASE
Oberlin is a charming college town anchored by the world-renowned Oberlin College and Conservatory — walkable, cultural, and worth exploring. From the property you're also perfectly positioned for everything Northeast Ohio offers:

Downtown Cleveland & Hopkins Airport — 45 minutes
Cedar Point, Sandusky — 45 minutes (roller coaster capital of the world)
Cuyahoga Valley National Park — 50 minutes
Lake Erie shoreline — short drive to beaches and lakefront towns
Oberlin College campus and town center — minutes away, ideal for campus visits and alumni weekends

Parking: Ample free driveway parking for multiple vehicles — no street parking, no permits, no hassle.

PET FRIENDLY
Five acres of wooded property is basically a dog's paradise. Pets are welcome — simply add your pet when booking so we can prepare the home for everyone's comfort.
Pet fee: $100

ABOUT YOUR HOST — STEVE
I'm Steve, a Cleveland-area Superhost with five years of hosting experience across multiple Northeast Ohio properties. I stop by discreetly twice a week — Monday and Friday mornings — to check pool and hot tub chemicals. You won't be interrupted. You won't even know I was there.
I respond within the hour. If something comes up before or during your stay, just message me. My goal is a seamless, memorable experience from booking to checkout.
This property books fast. If the dates work, don't wait.

We stayed in this secluded 5-acre getaway - 4 adults and one 3 year old. The place is in a great location, close to the center of Oberlin as well as North Ridgeville. Plenty of nice breakfast places in Oberlin. The house has a large, open family/living area which is perfectly suited for children and family conversation. Plenty of space for everyone. The host was extremely accommodating and responsive - very easy to work with. Would stay in this location again.

The home was absolutely beautiful and the property as well.

The property is also dog friendly and our beagle was in her glory! I highly recommend this property, we cannot wait to go back!
