Welcome to Lock 8 Lodge!

Nestled between the rolling hills of the Muskingum River valley, just north of the Rokeby Lock Dam, this home has a unique charm.

Kick off mornings on the front porch with a coffee and unwind in the evenings next to the fireplace with a glass of wine. This is the perfect spot to relax with family, friends, or enjoy a romantic retreat.

This house provides nearly 2000 square feet of space adorned with beautiful Amish trim work and fresh paint. It features a gas fireplace along with central heating and cooling.

On the first floor, there is a living room with a cozy reading nook that can also be used to sleep the night away, a dining area, kitchen, laundry room, half-bath, covered porch, and master bedroom (queen) with a master bath.

Upstairs you’ll find a full bath with a tub/shower combo, a designated office space, and two bedrooms (one with a queen and the other with two double beds), each opening to its own private balcony.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you should need for your stay including a 4-burner electric range and oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, coffee maker with filters, air fryer, blender, toaster, pots/pans, baking sheets, plates, cups, flatware, cooking utensils and more.

My work: Organizing Chaos
Hi, I’m Hayley. My husband John and I love to travel, camp, boat, and spend time with our family and friends. We’ve been in the rental business for several years, and we decided it was time to open our own Airbnb. It’s been such a rewarding experience, and we truly enjoy sharing this special place with others so they may create great memories of their own.
