ONLINE ONLY REAL ESTATE AUCTION only at OhioRealEstateAuctions dotcom. Bidding will start at $475,000. Bidding Ends: Thursday December 17th @ Noon. Here's your chance to own Weyrich Woods Lodge, an established short-term rental in the quiet hills of Knox County. It's about an hour from Columbus and two hours from Cleveland. Since opening in 2010, the Lodge has rented nearly every weekend of the year. Future reservations convey with the sale, so a new owner can step right in with bookings on the calendar. This lodge is truly handcrafted, not a kit home. The owner studied log building under a well-known expert, then felled, milled and seasoned the logs himself. The walls are 6x6 decay-resistant red pine, the framing is 8x10 hemlock beams, and the trim is sassafras. Inside are hard maple floors and hickory and walnut cabinetry, with accents of cherry, red oak, white oak and honeysuckle. Many of the furnishings were hand-crafted from 29 species of wood harvested on the property. There's approx. 3,000 sq ft over three levels, with three bedrooms, a large sleeping loft and three full baths, and it comfortably hosts groups of up to 18. The fun is built right in. Guests love the heated indoor swimming pool, a feature fewer than 7% of Ohio short-term rentals can offer. There's also a rec room with shuffleboard and darts, and a patio with a hot tub, fire pit and grill. Recent updates include a new high-efficiency boiler for the pool, a new refrigerator and range, and a freshly graveled driveway. A pole barn, plus a three-stall barn with hay loft and run-in shed beside a 2.5-acre pasture, offers room for animals or added guest lodging. The Lodge sits on 5.2± wooded acres close to Honey Run Park, the Kokosing Gap Trail, Mohican State Park and Ohio's Amish Country. Family reunions, church groups, college visitors and out-of-state deer hunters keep it busy year-round. Keep it running as a vacation rental, use it as your own retreat, or both! Looking for more? Next door at 28091 McKee Rd, a custom 4-bedroom, 3-bath home on 6.91± acres with an inground pool, pool house, stocked pond and 1,200 sq ft workshop is also being offered for sale. Buy the lodge, the home, or both!
