POND IN THE PINES CABIN -COMPLETELY RENOVATED ON 27 ACRES - POND-HOCKING HILLS

This cabin was more than we expected! It had everything you needed and more. My sisters and I were there for a weekend getaway and could not have asked for a better place to stay. The fire pit was stocked with wood and enough chairs for all of us to enjoy. The kitchen was had everything you would need. Traci checked in a few times to make sure everything was OK, So thoughtful. Highly recommend staying at Pond in the Pines. We would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay (our second time staying here!) and could not have been happier with both the property and the hosts. It was immediately apparent how much care and attention has gone into creating such a special place. The cabin was beautifully maintained, exceptionally clean, and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need for a relaxing and enjoyable family getaway. From the awesome firepit to the fantastic grill, the open porch on one side and enclosed porch on the other, the beautiful kitchen, relaxing living room, comfy bedrooms, very handy washer and dryer, fun indoor and outdoor family games, beautiful property and fun fishing pond, there’s something for everyone and it’s like a perfect home away from home for our family. The hosts truly went above and beyond to make our family feel welcome and comfortable. Every detail seemed thoughtfully considered, from the amenities provided to the overall warmth and atmosphere of the property. Communication before and during our stay was excellent — they were responsive, helpful, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. Our first visit in 2025 was so positive we booked again for 2026 and both times were absolutely wonderful. It’s rare to find a property where you can tell the owners take such pride in both the home itself and the guest experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-appointed, and memorable cabin getaway.

I can't say enough about the Pond in the Woods. The place was immaculate when we got there and was stocked with everything we needed and much more.The place is secluded and peaceful. We walked down to the pond and sat on the bench and just enjoyed the peace and quiet.Watching the birds, raccoon and squirrels around the bird feeder in the early morning while drinking our first cup of coffee was a great start to our day. The fire pit was well stocked with firewood and had enough chairs for the six of us.It is near Hocking Hills State Park and other interesting places.The host went above and beyond to be sure our stay was comfortable. She checked with us the first morning we were there to make sure everything was okay and to see if we had everything we needed. She communicated with us quickly when we had questions.We take short vacations a couple times a year at different places and without a doubt this place was the best. We will come back.

We traveled from New York to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from OU and her commissioning into the Army, and this home made the entire experience even more special. It comfortably accommodated all six of us and was absolutely immaculate. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, making it easy to enjoy meals together.We spent many memorable hours around the fire pit and relaxing on the back deck, and there was more than enough firewood provided for our entire stay. The property itself was wonderful—peaceful trails to explore and even a pond where we caught a nice bass!The Weber grill was a great bonus and made for a perfect evening cookout. Inside, the living room was warm and cozy, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and there were plenty of towels provided for everyone.Traci, the host, was exceptional. She stayed in constant communication and truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. She helped make an already meaningful family celebration even more memorable.I highly recommend this home and would absolutely stay here again!

This home was the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed in! We appreciated the welcoming and cozy atmosphere, the stocked coffee bar, homey decor, updated bathrooms and kitchen. We loved everything about this house from the comfortable beds to the generous supply of towels. The pictures do not begin to do it justice! However, even this home is outshone by the property it sits on! The fire pit, stocked with wood (wow!) and Adirondack chairs made evenings together so memorable. The trails through the woods to the pond, where we saw deer and heard turkeys, was so peaceful and quiet. This house is truly like an island unto itself. You feel like you’re deep in a national forest even though it’s conveniently located near Logan and all of the top Hocking Hills trailheads. The pond is much like what I’d imagine Henry D. Thoreau’s Waldon Pond was like—serene and peaceful. Many of us took our books down to read in the Adirondack chairs while others fished and caught bass, bluegill and sunfish. The setting was perfect we hardly wanted to leave to go hiking! Each day we came back from our adventures and shared drinks and laughs by the fire. We will definitely return to this gem in the woods! Especially since we were able to bring our beagle mix along with us to enjoy the fun!

We had a fantastic stay! Traci was responsive and helpful in her communication, the cabin was so clean, very well thought out and supplied everything we needed! The property was beautiful- we spent a lot of time around the firepit, hiking on trails and fishing in the pond! Great getaway for our family of 5 and 2 dogs

We have stayed in VRBOs all over the country, and nothing comes as close to exceptional as this property. It was remarkably clean and comfortable, host Traci has truly thought of everything. From the quality of the beds and linens to the thoughtful games and firewood stacked outside, our family was able to relax and enjoy the solitude of the property, the gorgeous views, and the nearby State Park. We traveled with our dogs, and every need was anticipated. There were dog beds (both indoor and out), bowls and blankets, everything we could possibly need. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful property with well thought out amenities. Great for a fun family weekend!

A beautiful home and property, decorated for Christmas and fully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away with the dogs.Traci was fantastic at every step of the process and we can’t wait to come back!

Traci was an amazing host! She was super responsive to all of my questions and requests and even checked in after day 1 to see how everything was going. She left the sweetest note along with a bottle of wine and some delicious brownies. This personal touch transitioned into the adorable house as well. Not only was it super cute, she has thought of everything! The kitchen was well stocked and she’s gone above and beyond to provide extras throughout the home! The beds were super comfortable and there were plenty of towels, not often do I see this! I literally cannot think of one thing that she hasn’t thought of…thank you Traci:-)!

It was simply amazing! This will be our fourth year coming to Hocking Hills and by far the BEST accommodations we have experienced. Our pups came with us to and it was so very special to see dog bowls & beds all ready for them when we walked into the cabin. The trails on the property were beautiful! Communication with the host was perfect. We had not one issue or complaint during our stay. There is no doubt in our mind that we will come back here on our next stay and the stays after that. We so appreciate everything the hosts did to make their cabin a home away from home for us.

We returned to Pond in the Pines cabin to celebrate a birthday and fall break recently. Another amazing stay that exceeded our expectations once again! We were greeted by a super clean and stocked cabin with thoughtful birthday treats from Traci (owner). I staff by my review from last year, all you need to bring is the people and food…everything else is provided! We enjoyed fishing, hiking/exploring the property and off (we did 3 new to us hikes around the state park and forest this year), bonfires and a movies inside on a rain day. Soooo relaxing, we can’t wait to return again next fall!

Lovely property with everything you need for a relaxing weekend. The fire pit provided a beautiful star watching location. There was lots of firewood and the kitchen was really well stocked.

The location and the cabin were wonderful. Added amenities of necessary paper products, kitchen utensils, condiments, and various kitchen necessities added to making the stay the utmost relaxing trip. Would definitely recommend staying at this charming place.

The cabin was amazing. So clean and organized, the hosts thought of everything! My uncle caught lots of bass in the pond. We will definitely be back.

Such a great place for everyone in our group. Traci took care to provide amenities especially for our dogs as well as our grandkids , plus everything you can think of for enjoy the property inside and out! The cabin is located on a well manicured LARGE lawn and surrounded by forest so you feel like your in your own “private Idaho” (in Ohio:-)) plenty of place for the dogs to run! The pond is down a path and has been beautifully maintained. The water was lovely to swim and boat. We wish we had had time to try out the kayak and fishing!The house has three spacious bedrooms and a great room which was really nice for us all to gather. There are several outdoor seating areas to choose to gather from the screened in front porch, to the private back porch to the fire pit surrounded by adirondack chairs. We had lots of activities planned for our stay, but we all agreed that we could have had an even better vacation if we would have spent all our time right there on the land- hiking the trails, playing in the pond and star gazing under the dark dark skies.

The house & property were beautiful. The owners thought of everything, from extra batteries for the remote to plastic baggies for leftovers. The house was super clean & comfortable. Thanks for a great getaway!

This is a wonderful home. My daughter's is attending OU in the fall and we stayed at this property during her orientation. This is an amazing home within the Hocking Hills area. Wonderful amenities and the perfect size for our family of 5. If you are traveling with dogs i highly recommend. Traci provided leashes, tie outs, and beds. The hosts were extremely accommodating and provided excellent communication both prior to and during our stay!!

This is hands down one of the best properties that I have ever stayed in. It is beautiful, clean and they have thought of everything to make it so convenient to stay here. I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone. Traci was so informative and friendly!

This is our second time staying and just like our first time, we enjoyed every minute. This property is so peaceful and relaxing. Our dogs also enjoy staying here as much as we do

We had such a relaxing time and enjoyed this property so much. We loved going out to the pond in the evenings to sit and listen to the birds. The house was well stocked with everything you could possibly need and was super clean. Can't wait to come back!!

Really enjoyed our visit to the Hocking Hills State park area. The house we stayed at was very nice and very clean. Our host Traci was great to work with ! She was friendly and helpful! I will look forward to our next trip back!!

We spent spring break with our 4 school age children and this property was perfect! The home was so charming and CLEAN! The pond on the property was breathtaking and our favorite place to hang out. The extra accommodations like life vests, toys, tables for evenings around the fire, and so many more well thought out details were appreciated and enjoyed! Great place for families or a few adult couples to get away! Highly recommend!

The cabin was clean and well stocked - everything we needed for an enjoyable, relaxing stay was available. We enjoyed the trail and relaxing by the pond and it was only a 20 minute drive to Ash Cove in Hocking Hills State Park. Traci was very easy to reach when we had questions. Lovely cabin and location.

It was a really nice place and clean. Property manager checked in on us to make sure everything was okay. Nice location.

This place is not only gorgeous but absolute serenity. If you are looking to relax and enjoy the beautiful outdoor this is just the place for you. Our family had an amazing time and will definitely be back!! Can't wait to book our next trip to this little piece of heaven. There is everything you can think of in the cabin, all you need to bring is your clothes and the rest is taken care of. Traci is absolutely amazing and was so informative and helpful the entire trip. Thanks so much for sharing your happy place with us!!

Great home! Great Hostess! The home was very clean and tidy with many items that travelers may forget including a very well stocked kitchen and pet friendly! My family and I would definitely book again and would definitely recommend that others go!

The property and house were both beautiful. It was wonderful not having to worry about bringing a ton of baby stuff since the house had it all (especially the big ticket items). The owners were very easy to contact and quick to respond. We all had an amazing time there!

We enjoyed our stay at POND IN THE PINES CABIN! The host has done a fabulous job in decor and ambiance at the cabin that made it feel like home away from home. Views are beautiful, and hiking paths to the pond were enjoyable to walk. The house is well stocked with items you may need, very clean and beds were comfortable. We felt very secure at the location. Would recommend this cabin to anyone who seeks peace and guiet and to enjoy nature. This would be a good place for families with children who would like to give them an experience with nature. Hope to stay again sometime. Lillian

What a great property and location..... We visit the area multiple times per year and have rented many different cabins. Some good, some not so good. No need to search for anything different now. The cabin was extremely clean and exactly as promised in the listing and photos. The 27 acre property is very well maintained, with an established trail system and pond to hike and explore. Plenty of time can be spent on the property, in addition to being in close proximity (but not too close!) to the usual (popular) hiking locations. Little details matter, and we appreciated that everything was well thought of in advance. Traci was a great host, with clear instructions and communication. No complaints here! We will be back....

Best way to describe this property, all you need to do is insert people and food, everything else has been provided! The property is so unique and beautiful, the owners have taken so much care in renovating the house and caring for the land and pond. A few tips/notes, the trail to the pond is off the backyard and is very well established and not too far of a walk, halfway to the pond is a well marked split with signs to continue to the pond or veer off to a trail path. Note, the walk back up to the house gets a bit steep, great workout! We enjoyed so much time at the pond fishing, paddle boarding and boating. My husband was the big winner with catching 26 over our 3 days! We purchased worms/bait from a gas station about 10 miles down the road on the way to Hocking Hills State Park to hike. We brought our own fishing poles but the owners do provide a couple fishing poles and lures as well. Our three kids really enjoyed the paddle boats and the fishing boat that were provided as well. We also really enjoyed the well established trails throughout the property, lots of different trails…very calm and serene. My husband and I enjoyed morning coffee, walking the trails or sitting by the pond each morning! We didn’t get to go to JimBo’s restaurant because they were closed Monday-Wednesday, but did check out Mains in McArthur for burgers/ice cream, yum! we are looking very forward to rebooking this property for fall break next year and extending our stay! Jump on this unique find!

Before we even got to the house, I was in contact with Traci the owner with a few questions. She was the most helpful hostess I have ever communicated with! When I say the house was clean, it was spotless! You could take a white glove and not find one speck of dust anywhere! Even the globes on the ceiling fans were spotless. They provide everything, dish and dishwasher soap, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, TONS of nice fluffy towels, laundry soap and dryer sheets. They even have cleaning supplies in case of spills or whatever! The furniture was clean, new and comfortable, the beds, sheets and mattresses were wonderful, I even asked about the mattresses to see about buying for my own home, Traci sent me the link right away! They have just about every appliance you would want to use in the kitchen. Besides your clothes and food, you don't need to bring anything else. The TV has Roku and Netflix and other apps the WIFI was fast, there are games and books to read. The property is nice with a fun pond and walking trails. I like to bird and there was a wide variety of birds everywhere, with a feeder and a bird bath outside to watch feeder birds also. There is a very nice fire pit, but due to ban on fires in the state we were not able to use. We had a great time! We went to Kindred Spirits for dinner one night and it was great! Their brown butter cake is so good!

We had a wonderful stay at Pond in the Pines cabin! The cabin was very clean, beautiful, and looked even nicer than the pictures. Traci’s communication was excellent the entire time from the check in process, checking in throughout our stay, and the check out process. She even left us a bottle of wine and chocolate on check in! For anyone with dogs, we brought our fur baby with us and he probably enjoyed himself the most! The property is completely secluded and he enjoyed being able to run around and visit the pond. We had a wonderful time! Highly recommend if you are looking for a cozy retreat in Hocking Hills!

We enjoyed our stay immensely! So much so that we ended up cooking at the home rather than going out to eat. Pond in the Pines Cabin sits on a beautiful property with fun trails to explore and the pond to enjoy. The home is truly beautiful with many nice touches, very clean, and very relaxing! Traci is a great host!! We will come back for sure!
