The cabin was so peaceful and secluded. It was everything that we needed. The cleanliness and the amenities were excellent also. Even though we were unable to use the grill or the fireplace, Shannon and Nick had everything ready for us to do so. We did take advantage of the kitchen amenities and everything that we needed was available. The cabin was very tidy and super spacious. We loved it!

It was amazing. Eveything was better than they described. The bed was so comfortable. The hot tub before each night gave us the best sleep. But the thing that made it extra special was the hand written personal note that was left on the table that will make it in our scrapbook was the chefs kiss. Also internet was not amazing but adequate to snuggle up and watch movies with.

Loved staying at this cabin in the woods. Very private, quiet and relaxing. Despite all the attractions in Hocking Hills we spent a lot of time just hanging out with our 2 dogs. Nice trails right out the door. Would love to go back! Kick Back cabin is a very appropriate name.
