Maynard's Retreat | Hocking Hills, Modern, Hot Tub

Stay at Maynard’s Retreat was wonderful. It was beautifully decorated and had all the supplies that we needed. Very clean and centay located to all of the Hocking Hills activities. Loved the floor to ceiling windows in the living room overlooking the backyard wooded area. Great rental for a couple with their dog. Looking forward to returning soon.

Clean and a great view

Exclusive space for a quick getaway and cleanliness.

Very clean and loved the aesthetic! Loved the peacefulness and how you feel like no one else is around.

Beautiful property! Inside the cabin was very well done with all the amenities needed. It was very clean, well maintained, and loved the neutral tones. Perfect view that overlooked a wooded lot and you felt secluded even though there were a few cabins in the area.

The cabin was very clean. I loved the updated and modern look. I liked that the bedrooms were on separate sides of the cabin and that they each had their own bathroom. We had enough towels for showers and the hot tub. My only complaint is that I wish the check in time was a little earlier and check out time a little later. Overall we had a wonderful experience.

We stayed at Maynards Retreat in Hocking Hills in July 2025. The modern, clean cabin had enough kitchen supplies for four people. We spent a week there and enjoyed hiking the nearby trails.We rated the house 4 stars due to challenging access: a 2-mile narrow gravel road (Rocky Fork) leads to a steep, winding half-mile drive with sharp turns. The host says all-wheel drive is recommended but I would go as far as to say it is required. Minivans or Honda Civics may have difficulty accessing those roads. It is advisable to avoid arriving after dark. The place advertises Wi-Fi, but it's unreliable. Do not expect to stream shows, send pictures or download large excel documents for work. In Hocking Hills (not just this property) you are mostly off the grid.Our stay would have been more enjoyable if there were games to play for rainy days. There are supplies for a long weekend (trash bags, dish soap and paper towels) but not enough for longer. The small fridge does not contain ice or water, so I recommend you bring your own supplies.With some adjustments, this could be a 5-star experience. Additional storage is needed due to lack of space. The house lacks shelves entirely, including in the kitchen, and the bathrooms have only two hooks for wet towels. Installation of a shelf for hangers in the main closet, also blankets and extra pillows would be helpful. A 30 Walmart coat rack by the front door would be a practical improvement. The main shower door leaks.

Our goal was to get away for a bit, enjoy daily hikes at Hocking Hills State Park, and relax in nature. This property made it super easy to accomplish all of our goals for this vacation!

The cleanliness of our cabin was very good. Our 4 digits to unlock the door did not work, we were able to get immediate assistance when we called and had the lock reset. However, the door never locked / unlocked again using either code. My main issue was there was no where to hang up or put coats/ clothes anywhere. Our coats where hanging on the barstools. My suitcase was on the floor, so I lived out of the suitcase for 4 days would have appreciated some hooks for coats clothes. It was winter time the driveway was a mudpuddle with only a welcome mat at the door to wipe boots on. Jets in the hot tub only worked on half the hot tub. But the water was hot!!It was a beautiful scene looking out the windows. We had a relaxing time.
