Ideal for larger groups, the historic Cantwell Lodge sleeps up to 18 guests. Find yourself surrounded by Ohio’s most beautiful natural features, including a waterfall with a natural swimming hole.
On the first level of the lodge you’ll find a large living room that includes an extra large sectional, 65” TV, and a dining room table for 12 that easily converts into a ping pong table. Additionally there is a kitchen, a den, master bedroom and bathroom, a queen bedroom, two additional full bathrooms, and a half bathroom attached to the living room. There is an open loft on top of the den with four additional twin beds and a queen bed.
On the second level you’ll find a king bedroom and a queen bedroom as well as a shared full bathroom. The glamping bunker/basement is home to a room with a queen bed, another room with a full bed, a sitting area, and a full bathroom. The Glamping Bunker has concrete floors, painted cinder block walls, and painted wood ceilings. It’s very cozy with plenty of rugs and comfortable bedding, but it is much more industrial than the rest of the lodge and not for everyone. There are no windows in either bedroom. There is an emergency exit door through the full bedroom and utility room.
The game room is a converted garage and contains some arcade games, foosball, air hockey, and a sitting area. This is a great place for kids or teenagers. The primary entrance/exit for the game room is through the glass garage door. However the living room end table slides out to reveal a secret entrance into the game room. Kids will love this. Think of it more as a ladder than a staircase as it’s a tight fit.
Outside the Cantwell Lodge is a beautiful setting, perfect for gatherings! There are two beautiful waterfalls and a gorgeous swimming hole on the property! The swimming hole is open for swimming from May 1 through October 31. The swimming area is heated which makes swimming in summer months more comfortable. The water reaches 4.5’ deep at its deepest point.
Other outdoor amenities include expansive decks, an 8 person hot-tub, a Weber Grill, and corn-hole boards! There is also a fire-pit, picnic tables, ample seating and incredible forest views! Pictures used in this article are owned by The Cantwell Lodge.
