The Frog Cabin
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
The Frog Cabin is a historic log-cabin home in Clintonville, Ohio, originally built in 1840 in Wilkesville and relocated/restored on its current site in 1936. The cabin has been updated with new bathrooms, a new kitchen, and new appliances while preserving its original character and antique touches. It’s a smoke-free stay with practical in-home amenities including air conditioning, a full kitchen, and a washer, plus an outdoor patio area. Guests have use of the full property, including a grill, a garage for one car, and four bikes for riding nearby trails. Although in the city, the home sits set back from the street, offering a quieter, retreat-like feel. The neighborhood puts multiple restaurants within walking distance, including Olive & Lime Cafe, Habaneros Fresh Mexican Grill, Ray Ray's Hog Pit Clintonville, and Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern, and it’s a short trip to John Glenn Columbus International Airport.
