Large but cozy! Plenty of places to exist, large table for games and eating with a group. Great indoor and outdoor activities. The fire pit was cool, the hot tub is large. The mattresses were soft (firm needers take note!) but were still comfortable! Would absolutely stay again.
This cabin is AMAZING!! Had everything you could possibly need and so cozy. Kept the adult children entertained with the pool table and pac man machine and the hot tub was awesome! We will definitely be back. A great family vacation for sure.

Host was very responsive and helpful both before and during our stay. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. House was super clean. I wouldn’t hesitate booking this cabin. They had just put in a new fireplace and it was not quite working the way it should, however hosts were out ASAP in attempts to fix it which was appreciated.

Thank you! Happy you enjoyed your stay and would love to have you back!
This is our second stay at the Merlot in six months… We are in love with this cabin. Our kids love to play in the hot tub and the awesome basement. It is always so clean and we can’t get enough of it. Its proximity to everything Hocking Hills has to offer is wonderful. We also highly recommend trying the Laurelville pizza at the little shop in the town Square not far away. We will be back again soon.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was lovely and exactly as described. Super clean and all amenities. Peaceful, beautiful view. Thank you!
We loved everything about our stay at the Merlot! The property was only about 15-20 minutes from hikes, very clean and cozy, our kids loved all the outdoor space and hot tub! Kate responded very quickly and was so kind. We will definitely stay here again!

What a wonderful time for our family. We booked last minute to get away for Memorial Day Weekend. The cabin was perfect in every way. We loved the hot tub, having fires out back, playing inside and outside the property, taking walks down to the creek and more. We already can’t wait to come back!
