Frequently Asked Questions

  • A private, one-of-a-kind 20-acre country getaway centered around a fully renovated short-term rental home available through Airbnb and VRBO.

    Surrounded by peaceful wooded acreage, open grassy areas, a stocked pond, wooded trails, a hot tub, wildlife, and true seclusion.
    The property is designed for guests who want space, privacy, and a real escape from the everyday — while still being within reach of Cincinnati and surrounding areas.

    The home is ideal for quiet weekends, couples’ getaways, family trips, birthday escapes, peaceful retreats, and small groups looking to relax, reconnect, and enjoy nature in a more private setting.

    While Fender Acres is primarily operated as a private overnight stay, it can also be a great location for small private events, intimate gatherings, photography sessions, and exclusive use of the property on a case-by-case basis.

    Any event-style use must be approved in advance to make sure the property is the right fit.

  • Fishing is welcome in the pond—guests usually bring their own gear.
    It’s maintained year-round to keep the fishery healthy and thriving.
    You’ll find plenty of largemouth bass, a strong bluegill/panfish population, and (for the patient ones) some big catfish worth the wait.

  • Just your typical rural gravel driveway. However in Southern Ohios winter weather, AWD/4x4 is recommended.
    There is plenty of parking available to accommodate events.

  • Yes — there are several walking trails throughout the property, plus a creek that winds through the land.

    The paths take you through a mix of open areas and wooded sections, with both flatter stretches and more rugged terrain with hills. They’re great for a quiet walk, exploring, and wildlife watching without leaving the property.

    Because it’s natural land, parts of the trail system can be uneven or muddy after rain, so we recommend sturdy shoes. For everyone’s safety and to protect the property, the trails are for walking only (no ATVs/UTVs).
