    Salt Creek Retreats - Kebabs!

    Salt Creek Retreats

    (4 reviews)

    Salt Creek Retreats is a 40 acre camping retreat, with only two rentable sites; a cabin and a yurt…read more Recently, my friends and I stayed at the yurt. A Yurt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yurt), if you're wondering, is traditionally a Mongolian tent. But the type at Salt Creek is of the more modern North American variety, made with parquet floors and plastic coverings. It has sleeping room for four, with a double bed and a set of bunk beds. There's also a folded up futon underneath the bunk beds if needed. The yurt also has a gas space heater, large kitchen trash can, table, and a cabinet fully stocked with a variety of camping essentials like matches, first aid, baby wipes and instant coffee. Outside, the spacious camp is just as well set up. As you drive up the dirt path to the site, you'll first see solar showers that are usable during the summer, then an outhouse. Ten feet down from that is the main site. On the right side of the road is a hammock, a wood picnic table, the yurt, and then an air chair. On the left, a huge hutch of fire wood, a big steel fire pit, a barbecue, then two more camp tables under a big canopy. Behind the yurt side structures is a thick woods, while behind the fire pit side is a medium-size creek. There is a large supply of pots and pans, hanging spoons and tongs left for the campers, although much of this is rusting pretty badly, unfortunately. The double pointed hot dog skewers were great, however. This is a truly beautiful camp site, well stocked and designed. A few of the cooking implements being in less that useful shape doesn't take away from all the wonderful stuff that is provided, and doesn't impact the peace and pristine nature around you. A wonderful spot to go relax and get away from it all.

    The BEST place to camp in the central Ohio area!…read more I've been coming to the yurt every year for about 5 years. Its fantastic because its: 1) Amazingly Private - secluded in beautiful hocking hills with several miles of private trails, a fishing pond, a scenic overlook, and a river to swim in. No pesky state park rules. Phones don't work here. Leave your crackberry at home!! 2) Doggie Friendly - They love it here! 3) Great for Groups - Sleeps up to 6, with room for many many more in tents. Bring all the kids! 4) Easy as Pie - comes fully stocked with dishes and cooking supplies, pillows, chairs, grills, etc. There's a little store in Laurelville (about 15 min drive) if you need anything (like pie!), and there are some houses nearby if you have an emergency. Consider coming here in the winter - the yurt has a heater, and there's a roof over your head. Or in the spring - to hunt for morels and wild ramp. Or in the summer - to go swimming and use the solar shower. Or fall - to sit under a canopy of color. Thanks Kim for keeping up such a wonderful place!

    EXTREMELY DANGEROUS trails for beginners -I am a complete beginner, I filled out the waiver which…read moreexplicitly has boxes to check, with your riding skill. I checked beginner, and told them I had no experience riding a horse I HIGHLY recommend beginners stay away from this location. This type of negligence could cause serious harm. I was told that my horse "June" had ADHD and got distracted very easily. This was a complete understatement. The gentleman who was giving the "safety " talk seemed bothered and completely put out that he had to be there. If I would have known I needed to be an equestrian to ride here, I would have went somewhere else. But we didnt know, I let them know I was inexperienced and they ignored that fact even after the waiver we filled out and not once, but twice I asked to get down and that I was not in contol of this 900-2,200 lbs beast. I stressed to the handlers this. They told me I'd be fine and reshowed me how to "control" June. See, I was with June for about an hour and I realized real quick that she needs a more experienced and firmer handler than what they put on her. (Me) The problems started early, pretty much as soon as I got on. During our beginner two hour ride my horse June, decided to show me how much she truly did not give and ounce of care that I was doing all the things they showed me to control her. She was in charge and I was just there for the ride. Which was the most frightening experience of my life, and I served in the army. I am also a registered nurse and have been in some really frightening situations. The trails we were on were poorly kept. It wasn't her fault, the trails were just so unsafe. If this had been a young child i worry the day would have ended much worse. The trails were very very poorly kept, entire trees were down on the trail. There were ditches of mud which we were warned about but this definitely was not a trail for a bunch of beginners. June would not stay on the trail no matter what I did and the trail guide just kept yelling to kick her or pull the reins (WHICH I WAS DOING). very aggressively I might add. Then I was seriously worried she would just get spooked and bolt. I didnt trust myself, june or the ranch hands not one bit. This caused a lot of small injuries, at one point my horse decided to freak out and started to scramble backwards on a steep slope, by doing this, she pushed my sister who was behind me on the horse named Elsa into a tree which subsequently pinned her knee between the very large horse and a very unforgiving tree. I was struggling to "force" June back on the trail and not get taken out by trees as she forged their own path due to her "adhd" I just held close to her and tried to avoid the worst of the branches and tree trunks. I'm very surprised by the large amount of positive reviews here, I'm never one to complain about a service but I feel obligated because I really do feel like this is an unsafe environment. I dont want a refund, I am not asking for anything, I just want to know how a business is ran this unsafely and are still able to operate without any governance. I also want people to be warned. Our group unfortunately didnt do their due diligence and scour the reviews, but again not our fault completely, this place should not have been able to have 10+years of tormenting unsuspecting novice riders with their incompetence. This place has a waiver, I appreciate this, but when a customer explicitly says they are not good at something as dangerous as this could be, it is the businesses responsibility to be transparent about what said customer are getting themselves into. Like I said, I hate to complain, I really never make posts like this. However, if I help avoid one serious injury caused by this locations negligence then it is worth it in this case. Don't risk injury at this location, go somewhere else.
