Perfect Cabin for a Family Reunion
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.

Cabin getaway
Beautiful property and house. Very clean, lots of space and WELL equipped kitchen. Love the game room and the hot tub. A few minor issues that were resolved with communication with the owner. Nice short hiking path on the property.

Beautiful cabin!
Was a beautiful cabin, plenty of space and nice property. Only complaint is there were dead ladybugs everywhere (in all the beds, on the floors) but other than that nice place and responsive host.

Quick family getaway
We were looking for a quiet cabin to spend the weekend with our kids, their friends, and our pups. We found this gem and we are so happy we did. Extremely quiet and serene setting, especially in winter.. Beautiful trails and the dogs had a blast. More than enough space inside and very, very cozy!

Fall getaway
Had a amazing time. The property was well maintained, the house was cozy, nice bedrooms room large enough for our family of nine. The property owners allowed us to bring our two dogs which was a plus. The location was also perfert for us about 30 min. drive to Hocking Hills enough time for a scenic drive but far enough to avoid the crowds. I would recommend this cabin for any one considering to visit Hocking Hills.
