The Flaum family cabin: "Abners' Woods"Our family cabin is located on 42 acres of rolling wooded land near Berrysville, Ohio.
It was purchased by Grandma and Grandpa Flaum in the late fall of 1999, for the enjoyment of our entire family and invited guests.

The cabin is a ranch style floor plan, with four bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen, dining room, family room and laundry, with a covered front porch and a rear deck. There are two fireplaces.

A remodeled horse barn, "hunters' cabin", garage, and shed are also to be found on the property.

There are many types of trees found in our forested lands: red and white oak, maple, sassafrass, tulip, beech, sycamore, white and yellow pine, eastern hemlock, blue spruce, buckeye, fir, dogwood, cedar, persimmon, hickory, red bud and even a Mimosa tree from NC!

Our 3/4 acre farm pond has catfish, crappie, bass, sunfish, and grass carp [to help control algae]. The catfish and bass are great fun to catch . . . and throw back. The pond has its own boat dock, row boat, and observation deck, and those fish;  Chris Flaum, our "Pond master" has stocked the pond - not with Swordfish, but with perch - catche'm this year!

We just received two WHITE catfish and a BLUE channel catfish from Craig; they are in our pond, and will hopefully reproduce.  Until further notice, remember to catch 'em, and then throw 'em back!

There are several marked paths and trails for hiking, with 15 bridges to be crossed. There are now four designated cookout areas, each with a grill and picnic table.

Three wooden deer stands have been built for use during deer and wild turkey hunting season.

When you come to visit, enjoy this special place, and do your part to help keep it that way!
