Perfect for our little family
This Little cottage had everything we needed to. Have a good weekend. There are tons of board games and cards, a pool table which my son loved, lots of places to play video games or watch TV, and the hot tub and fire pit area are so nice. The kitchen is well equipped to make dinners.

Nice Rustic Getaway
Wonderful little getaway. Rustic, but with all the modern conveniences. After a day of hiking the trails of Hocking Hills, unwind by the campfire and relax in the hot tub!

Relax in nature
Great gem of a place. Sitting out in the hot tub was just what we all needed. For us, we all lost cell signal on the way, so print a map just in case before going so if you loose your Waze you can find your way.

Thank you for a wonderful stay
Thank you! The home was perfect for us to hike at Hocking Hills. Also, super clean with everything we needed with a comfy bed. The hot tub (nicest and cleanest we have ever seen at other places we've stayed) and nice firepit in a secluded setting to enjoy. A perfect location to end our day hiking. We'll definitely be back.

Amazing property!
Everything was perfect. From the minute we stepped out of the car we were hit with how enchantingly calm the property is. A beautiful sunset greeted us and then we stepped inside to be blown away at how spacious and clean the house is. Tons of room to spread out, both inside and out. Plenty of towels to grab when you head out to the hot tub (which was so thoughtfully pre-warmed for us!). We had a blast playing billiards, we schooled our kids on the SNES games, and ended each night relaxing in the hot tub. The main Hocking Hills hike spots (Old Mans Cave, Rock House, Conkles Hollow) are about a 30min drive away. We liked Rock House the most! Took a breather by popping into the Visitors Center at Old Mans Cave (it's like a mini museum!) and wandered over to the Hocking Hills Lodge to grab a beer and see the snake talk a ranger was doing in the lobby. We drove into Logan for dinner at the Hungry Buffalo one night (20 mins away) and enjoyed mexican food at El Mariachi just down the road the second night (be warned, the "big margarita" is bigger than you expect! Super friendly staff and great food too). Winter in the area is definitely a best kept secret, we had the most magical snow-covered winter hike with the sun beaming down on us. Staying at this property was the icing on the cake! Quit searching and book it now!!

Great Getaway!
We stayed for ghe New Years weekend and absolutely loved the cottage. A fire and hot tub after a day of hiking was a great way to ring in the new year! I also appreciate the crockpot and airfryer in the kitchen!

We had a great time! The cottage was very welcoming and had lots of thought and care put in it. Very clean and cozy! It was great having not to make a run to the grocery right after getting there for necessary items. Loved the hot tub!
