    Plenty of space for our Family getaway. Loved having a fire pit with seating and the onsite trail! Within 20-30 minutes to all major Hocking Hill trails. Beautiful time of year to visit!

    The hot tub was nice and clean and the property was very quiet... aside from the neighbors dogs barking a lot, but we are all animal lovers and it didn't bother us. There were 12 of us that stayed and plenty of space for us all to be together or go to a room to have some privacy. The kitchen had everything we needed and plenty of room for several to be cooking and preparing meals. The tables on the deck were wonderful and the firepit area was simply perfect. There is no bathroom in the basement so that was a little inconvenient for those two rooms but we made it work. Overall, this cabin was wonderful, we all had a fabulous time together and the host was very responsive and helpful when needed. We would definitely stay here again!

    Everything was great at the cabin! There were 13 of us from 9 months to 87 years old. We did not leave the cabin from Thursday night until Monday am. Everything you need in the kitchen is there including many spices. Games for all ages on the game shelf plus a game room in the lower level as well as games outside. Nice to have queen and king beds. There were 4 couples and many places we looked at had twin beds. It was also very clean! The outside yard was very big and flat with several trails to walk on. Very quiet whether swinging on the front porch or sitting on the back deck or in the hot tub. We’ll be back to stay, thank you !

    Nice place and it had accomodations for everyone in our family. The place was clean but lacking in some TLC and common maintenance. It had some damage and missing bath equipment that we had to find ourselves. Trees growing in the landscaping around the house, not small trees but years of growth. Owner was aware of some of the issues but not all.

    We had such a fun & relaxing get-together. There is so much space within the home, as well as outside. Thank you for letting us borrow it for a few. It was truly a mini vacay!

    Beautiful stay and great cabin location! Close to all of the hocking trails and far enough away to have peace and quiet. Lots of trails on the property to explore!

    The cabin is welcoming, spacious and private. We vacationed with extended family and everyone appreciated having their own bedroom and plenty of space to spread out. There is no bathroom for the two basement bedrooms, but there is tons of space down there! All of the bed mattresses are quite firm, so consider bringing a topper if that’s an issue for you. The upstairs and main floor bedroom do have a bathroom attached. All the appliances were in good working order and this property seems well cared for by the housekeeping staff and owners. The kids (and adults) loved the game room and the extra board games provided. We weren’t able to use the trail or the fire pit because of rain, but having logs ready to use was so thoughtful! The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. This was so helpful! We had no problem preparing meals there. The hot tub overlooking the backyard was fantastic after a long day of hiking. It comfortably fit 6 adults. There were also towels provided for anyone that forgot theirs. We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! One tip: Make sure to request the WiFi password BEFORE arrival because once you get close to the cabin, there is no internet signal at all.
