Welcome to Clay Oaks Cabin!

** PLEASE NOTE - I no longer have access to a laundry service that is able to take care of providing clean towels and linens. Please understand that I would like to provide this service, but I am unable to. Thus, you’ll need to plan on bringing your own. I do apologize for this.

*** Please read this entire description before booking, and feel free to ask me any questions you might have! ***

I have had some recent complaints regarding a few items so please read the following info prior to booking. Your booking this cabin acknowledges that you have read and understand the information contained in this ad.

This RUSTIC cabin is located in a wooded and grassy area. There are bugs and there are spiders and there are other furry critters in the area. The cabin is typically cleaned on a Monday after folks check out. The cleaning service has an hour round trip travel time, so it is likely it won’t be “freshened up” immediately prior to your arrival if you come later in the week. Please expect there to be a sign of activity of these bugs and spiders and other pests in this natural wooded area.

The lawn service might not always be able to mow or trim weeds directly prior to your arrival. Many factors such as rain, wooded property access, and land topology play into this. This is not a metropolitan or town location. If you are expecting that, understand you might be disappointed and won’t receive a refund.

Sometimes, a window might fail to lock. However, all main entry doors are secure and have locks on them. We have never had a security incident since we began cabin rentals in 2012. I have had many, many very happy customers. Many folks come back to each of my locations each and every season. However, a few have not been happy due to the items listed above. Please be sure you understand the above information before choosing to stay here.

This simple cabin is located on 5 scenic acres to allow hiking, campfires, grilling out, and just relaxing while overlooking the scenic view of the serene woods. It is located near South Bloomingville, OH, just minutes from Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Conkle's Hollow, and many other local attractions. Plates, bowls, pots, pans, utensils, coffee maker, and trash bags are included. The cabin has air conditioning, an electric furnace heater, and a large fire pit! It has a bed to sleep 2, a kitchen with cooktop plate, refrigerator, and microwave. Outside, there is a propane grill on the porch. There is also ample space for a nice campfire to roast hot dogs and S’Mores! Although the images may show a stack of firewood, please plan to bring your own as it is not provided. Also, there are other cabins located on this wooded property.

Please note: I have very good feedback at my cabins, and I pride myself in trying to make sure folks enjoy their time here. I will do my best to make sure your stay is a pleasant one. In order to achieve that, I want to make sure you are aware of a few items: At times an item within the cabin might not be functional. Items such as these will be addressed ASAP by the property managers, and I will always do my best to make sure you are notified prior to booking.

Also note: The tub might take the water heater a bit to regen to fill it with water. But it’s about the best we could do to maximize the space! There is no conventional oven in the cabin, just a double burner cook plate, sink and compact refrigerator/freezer. If you’d like to bring a crock pot along please feel free to do so; or the propane grill can be used to cook as well as the microwave oven. Please remember that the refrigerator and freezer are compact models.

The cabin packs MANY items into a small area; if you have any additional questions please feel free to ask!

Don't delay! Get out to the Hocking Hills! PLEASE

NOTE - this property is located in a rural setting with open grassy areas and woods nearby. We do our best to keep pesky rodents away but at times there could be a rodent that was just caught in a trap. We have tried poison, traps, and using nothing at all; we have landed on continuing to use mousetraps. Poison causes them to die in the most inopportune places and having no traps at all just leads to larger issues. If you happen to find a mouse in a trap we apologize - we truly are doing the best to can to make the pests disappear. Just please be prepared to place all food in sealable containers or in the refrigerator so you don’t attract them even more! In addition to small furry pests, an occasional wood roach might be wandering around a cabin. I assure you these are NOT a cock roach. Please google “wood roach”. They feed on moist damp wood. They don’t really want to be inside but they might have been carried in on firewood or wandered in looking for a mate. They don’t eat human food and they don’t want to be inside. If you find one, please either dispose of it or simply throw it outside. Thanks for your patience as you venture in to the rural wooded areas of Hocking Hills!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and a microwave. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment.
This smoke-free cabin features rock climbing nearby and kayaking nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Just what I needed… but towels
I needed a quiet place in Hocking Hills that was clean. That’s what I got. Unfortunately I needed to bring my own bedding and towels. It was an inconvenience but not a tragedy. Overall, a good experience.

Great cabin for getaway
The cabin was great for my needs for a planning getaway from the office. The cabin is located at the back of a large piece of property and was quite secluded mid-week - I saw no other people in the other cabins on the property. Close enough to grab a coffee at the gas station in South Bloomingfield or to hop over to Logan to play golf. The simplicity of the cabin enhanced my experience. I would love to stay here again.

Short getaway for my husband and I
The cabin was super small and compact, however worked out perfect for us. We both loved just sitting on the porch enjoying the sounds of nature, and away from the city!! Nice wooded area surrounding us. The only complaint we have honestly there are wasps all over the porch boring into the wood, and nats everywhere due to the water under the porch from the drain pipe or just retaing water. However it did rain so im sure that played a factor. But property manager and owner are extremely pleasant to deal with!!! Over all we would of loved to stay longer and look forward to renting one of these cabins that are avallable in the future. Thank you for hospitality!!

Cute Cozy Getaway
Pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness (basically spotless) and just how cute the cabin was. Has all of the essentials (A/C worked especially well which was appreciated as we stayed during a heat wave). More importantly it’s extremely well situated. Felt secluded and peaceful but just a short 15/20 min drive to the major attractions. Also, the host should mention that it’s just a 2 minute drive from a local vineyard & winery that has tastings and beautiful grounds! We seriously enjoyed our stay here, highly recommended.

Peaceful & Quiet
We had an amazing stay. The location is perfectly secluded and peaceful. The cabin is very livable but needs some TLC. The only true complaint - the mattress is VERY uncomfortable. If they don't upgrade the quality, we would recommend taking a topper or air mattress. The frame is made from standard lumber and is loose and shaky (and we are not large people). Overall, it's a great place for the price. We would recommend taking the mattress topper, good pillows and a few over the door hooks if you want to hang anything up.

Great Little Cabin
Cabin was great value for the price. Location was perfect close to everything. The cabin was spotless and had the essentials. Communication was great with owner. Lots of privacy for a quiet getaway. Owner did an exceptional job making efficient use of the given space. If I had to make any suggestion it would be to replace mattress with better quality for comfort and maybe add a two post handrail on front step, but I have bad knees younger folk likely wouldn’t notice. Would definitely come back and definitely recommend.

Wonderful family stay
We used the cabin as a base camp and were able to take day trips to surrounding attractions including the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway, AHa children’s museum & Columbus Zoo. The perfect secluded spot for our 2 & 4 year olds to explore nature, ride bikes and play in the dirt. We had a great time and the kids loved the oversized tub at bath time.
