So close...yet so far from it all!

Whether it is the call of nature or the need to get away from the city, Glenking has what you need to rest and revitalize you and your family. This 1000 square foot log cabin lies in an opening next to a woods that teems with wildlife - both avian and mammal. It is located in Carroll County, Ohio near Minerva but within easy driving from nearby cities.

Glenking is fully weatherized with central heating and AC as well as paddle fans, and indoor entertainment ranges from TV to radio and DVDs, so if it should rain during your stay you can be entertained or entertain yourselves with board games and books that are available.

A one-acre pond serves for swimming and fishing, and rods and bait are available. The major feature is the woods - mostly pine and deciduous trees of wild cherry, maple, hickory and beech - which provides groomed trails and lots of chattering birds.

The cabin sleeps up to seven people in two bedrooms and a comfy loft, that kids love. All linens are furnished in the bath, and the rooms are made up when you arrive. Fresh linens are provided every fourth day. A Deluxe Continental Breakfast is provided and features Marilyn’s “killer” sour cream coffee cake and homemade granola. Recipes are on this site.

While there are restaurants available, you may wish to eat in. A full kitchen with microwave and outdoor gas grille are available and so is pure, filtered and tested well-water. You don’t need to bring bottled water.

Other outdoor entertainment includes badminton, volley ball, basketball, horseshoes or just watching the grass grow!

Glenking is very rural, but Minerva is a charming village of 3800 souls and is 10 minutes away. Nice shopping facilities including an IGA market, Scrapbooking shop and the usual assortment of drug and other stores will fulfill your needs. A well-equipped YMCA is available to our guests at no charge because we partner with them in fund-raising. The public library has a good WIFI system you may use without charge. Personnel are helpful and courteous.

Carroll County and the village of Carrollton provide interest and beauty, and Amish Country is about one hour and 15 minutes away.
