    Lovely, isolated cabin getaway, conveniently nestled between multiple state parks and recreation areas. Well stocked kitchen/laundry for easy functionality. Very clean and comfortable interior environment. Would return in a heartbeat if the following shortcomings were addressed: 1) safety concerns with lack of sufficient ballister spacing on staircase; 2) deficient, non-commercial grade gas grill difficult to light and in need of cleaning/repair/replacement; 3) poor and insufficient landscaping around the perimeter of the cabin made the immediate surroundings impassible, wet (almost drain swampy around hot tub decking), and messy (very limited access for pet potty breaks apart from gravel driveway). A small investment in professional landscaping would pay huge dividends in aesthetic appeal and functionality -- some better drainage, stone terracing, and some shrub/flower beds to create an inviting and functional 15' perimeter.

    Property was beautifully laid out: lovely decor, well thought-out. Fave things include: tiny upstairs bathroom and balcony, well-stocked kitchen, great hot tub, nice nature trail, very secluded. Comfy furniture, tv with streaming options, wifi, gas and charcoal grills, plus sweet wood burning fireplace. Dug the place so much we rebooked!

    This cabin was superb! It was not too close, but not too far from the great locations of Hiking, Shopping, and finding general needs. My favorite part about this cabin is that it was very secluded. You could hear an occasional car going by if you're outside, but inside you couldn't hear the anything. In the mornings you wake up to the cutie birds singing away. The hot tub was a nice touch to when you hit that boredom you slide into the hot tub and were able to relax with the cupholders, lights, and jets. This place had everything you need for an extended stay, from soap, toothbrushes and paste, to plenty of towels and provided washer and dryer. The only thing that wasn't too hot for me was that the fridge filter was red meaning it wasn't filtering the ice dropping in the bucket. There also wasn't a lot of toilet paper, be prepared that you might need to stop somewhere nearby for extra, but be sure it's septic safe! The stunning views from the main bedroom and deck, just beautiful peace. There is a large front deck with a table, chairs, and grille. There is also a smaller second story deck on the back, directly off the sleeping area, with two chairs. Nice place to come when you need a reset. The host provided all necessary property information for check-in and check-out well in advance of our arrival date.Highly, highly recommend a visit!

    This was a wonderful place that we enjoyed staying at. The driveway can be fun, but we have a 4wd truck, so it was not an issue. The cabin itself is very cozy. The only negative I could say would be that both the couch and bed have seen better days. They are both completely functional, just seem a little worn out.

    We love the location in relation to the area attractions and dining options. If you prefer to cook for yourself, the kitchen is incredible and well equipped. The best we have ever seen. Several grilling options are available. Bedroom is upstairs but the bathroom with walk-in shower is downstairs and very accessible. Well maintained hot tub just outside the main entrance. Too much to like and list.

    The cabin was lovely, but the deck/hot tub configuration has been changed since these photos were taken. The fire ring is also different and located on a gravel extension of the driveway. It was missing some of the niceties that we have come to expect from other cabins we have rented: robes, water bottles, snacks, and fire wood. Our biggest issue was that there was a power outage for most of our only full day there. We realize that this was out of the host's control, but when we alerted her to the situation, she did not offer any assistance. So we were stuck in a cold, dark cabin. We tried to use the wood burning stove, but there were no operating instructions, and the vents did not seem to be working, so the fire kept going out. If the power had not gone out, our experience would have been different, and we would have been mostly satisfied. Just don't expect any extras or assistance from the host while you are there.

    We were very pleased with the property. There are a few maintenance issues that should be addressed, but nothing that affected the enjoy of our stay. The cabin was very clean and cutely decorated. Some of the wall decor were actually functional games. We really enjoyed the wood burning stove, hot tub and grilled out (yes, in the winter). Our host placed Valentine surprises in different areas. We would definitely stay here again!

    As someone who has stayed at many short term rentals all over the world, and many cabins in the Hocking area, the Red Hickory cabin stands out. Everthing you could ever need is provided. The little things like labels on lights, abundant blankets, and hooks everywhere are so appreciated as a guest. Add to this the perfectly cozy and well laid out cabin and you have a 10/10. As a bonus, wall decor that doubles as playable board games was so fun!

    An amazing secluded property. It was very hot when we stayed but the cabin was shaded by all the mature trees. We were able to sit on the deck and enjoy nature. The cabin is beautiful and the owners thought of everything. The only issue we had was the internet kept rebooting one evening, but it wasn’t really a bother as we weren’t there for technology, it was more about being disconnected and relaxing. The owner is very responsive. Would highly recommend this to friends and family. We would definitely rent this cabin again.

    The house was perfect! Great location, far enough but not too far. I love that it was tucked in the trees up a hill from the main road. We took our dog and 2 year old, so distance from traffic was ideal. I was worried about my son on the stairs, but found the owner had a baby gate in the storage room! I love they were prepared!The deck has been adjusted, it caught me off guard at first, but the huge flight of stairs was removed, it only has two steps with the hot tub right outside the door. I really liked that adjustment, again because we had our 2 years old who still hasn't mastered stairs. Ideally it's a couples cottage as listed, but we don't need much space, we liked the coziness for our little family. More than enough kitchen amenities, two types of grilling, large hot tub, towels and blankets were all provided. The sofa had a pull out sofa which was perfect for movie night in the living room. There's a trail behind the house, unfortunately we didn't get to venture out much due to the weather. Really loved this place, highly recommend!!! (Forgot to take more photos before we left) Other than the deck adjustment, exactly as photos show in listing!I had a few questions while there, and the owner was very quick to respond and very helpful!
