I found the pictures of the Liquid Light cabin beautiful (looked them up on Airbnb as well as the…read morewebsite). I loved the idea of being able to hike around Hocking Hills without having to get in the car. Plus we wouldn't have to compete for solace in nature as the cabin sits on a good number of acres and is adjacent to the state forest. With it being a holiday weekend this access to hiking was a huge driver in our choosing to rent this cabin. I was sold and we rented the cabin from Marco for Easter weekend this year. Four of us stayed in the cabin and our dog Dudley was in tow as well. This cabin was beyond perfect. Was it the newest and most up to date cabin I have stayed in? No, but that was no bother. Did we have to walk down a relatively steep hill to get to the cabin from the parking area? Sure but that was no bother for us. The hospitality we received from Marco was wonderful. It was beyond welcoming and made us feel at ease. For example, there were bowls out for our dog for food and water. She had even placed out a dog towel- which was perfect as Dudley loved the creek that backed up to the cabin. Don't fret, there were plenty of towels for people too! There were welcome notes on the house doors as we arrived. On the table in the kitchen were these beautiful flowers that had been placed out for our enjoyment. It's like she knew that the weekend was a special one for us. The attention to detail on Marco's part was much appreciated. There were little notes scattered throughout that helped answer questions that you might have. Plenty of potable water provided for us, as the water in the house was cistern supplied. We had a chance to talk to Marco a few times during our visit and she is clearly a compassionate, caring, and thoughtful person. As another review mentioned, the line in the house is part of the main line, so it might ring on occasion. It only rang twice in the couple days and two nights that we were there. It was not a bother to us but rather more comforting as it did mean that we had a way to contact someone if we needed help. Don't expect to get cell service out there. :) Oh yeah, and there's no internet connection but hey, can't we all use a few unplugged days? All in all, we were not disappointed with the cabin nor the beauty we found surrounding it. It's an amazing place to take a break from the world. We will definitely the Liquid Light cabin from Marco again.

I stayed at the studio/suite this past weekend. The host was kind and easy to work with, even…read morethough we arrived ~midnight on Friday night. The suite is all tile floor which was cold but the place was clean. It was a little chilly and we could not figure out how to turn the heat on, but we did not ask. The bathroom was nice. Shower would cycle through hot water and warm water for the showers, which we didn't mind. There is a fridge and a microwave and dishes to use if need be. As the previous review mentioned, there is a shared sliding glass door with the owner's glass art gallery. Her studio was not open to the public or in use at the time of our stay. The phone was also shared and did ring a few times. We did not attempt to use any wifi during our stay. The location has no verizon signal, probably not any cell signal so if you need wifi I'd ask prior to booking. The bed has a topper that I thought was very comfortable, the bed was cute but a little crickety. I did not notice any sulfur smell as the previous review indicated. The place was nothing fancy, but we didn't mind it for the weekend since we spent a lot of time out doing activities. Located close to the region's state parks, down a hilly windy country road. The night sky was amazing. We chose to take one of the host's glass bead making classes. Which we thoroughly enjoyed. She was an awesome teacher/coach. I believe she gave us a discount on the class since we were guests.

Heads up: New location and new name!…read more Previously known throughout Columbus as Glass Axis, now the Columbus Glass Art Center, is a non-profit org offering glass blowing and glass art classes to the general public, no membership needed! I went to their Grand Opening of their new building and the space, and it's fantastic! Ample space for several different glass art technique classes. The teachers I met are absolutely wonderful, too! Willing to help/guide if necessary, creative minds, and just plain genuine and personable. I got the chance to make a glass mosaic (think glass art to hand in a window) and a simple smoking pipe (torch melting glass and all!), and it was phenomenal! I'm seriously looking into taking a few classes; and, besides, I know my money is going to an excellent org that's promoting art, culture, and creative partnerships throughout central Ohio!

Walking into Sherrie Gallerie is like going through the looking glass - sort of. There's always a…read moremix of whimsical/sardonic/wicked work there; it's what draws people through the doors. One of my favorite shows possibly ever in Columbus just ended at Sherrie Gallerie. I walked past one day to see these horridly fascinating human heads. In no time, I was inside, standing face-to-face with the creatures and studying the precision and craftsmanship of their teeth and skin. The heads, created by 'ceramicist' Tom Bartel, were dually nightmarish and comical. I have since become a huge fan of his macabre style. That's the beauty of Sherrie Gallerie. Sherrie brings the best work to Columbus, and people leave the gallery with curiosity. Sherrie leaves you wanting more. It's fantastic! Another awesome show from mid-summer: Problems in Sailing by John Balistreri. Seriously people, if you're the least bit into ceramics, check this place out. Balistreri had these huge pieces in the windows. They looked like planes that had crashed into the gallery floor. Oh, and the most alluring show of them all was a couple years ago. Sherrie had crayon installations by Christian Faur. They were large scale, and the premise was similar to that of a Lite-Brite but with a tinge of Holocaust sadness. The Christian Faur show was my deciding factor; right then, I knew I needed to move to Columbus.

It didn't take long and I was amazed at the efficiency. I highly recommend this company.
