About this property

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!

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.

Tiny cabin nestled in the woods

We really enjoyed this little cabin. Not super fancy but had everything we needed. We appreciated that the AC was on prior to our arrival. Apartment size fridge was plenty spacious. Would suggest adding some hooks on the wall in main room. Birds singing first thing in the morning was amazing!!

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!!

Not what expected!

The sink faucet almost overshot the basin. Sink is way too small, to wash any dish, or even brush one's teeth; being the only one in the unit. Not even a sink in the bath area. No mirror in bath, except for a real low one by the tub. The floors were unswept; we swept a pile out before moving in. The weeds outside close to the cabin were uncut, not like the picture. There was no couch or easy chair in the place, but two cheap metal folding chairs. There were no clothes hanging area, or even hooks for our garmets. The main window blind was not wide enough to cover the glass. Changing numerous times, it felt like we were exposed. We came here for a wedding. With noplace to hang our duds, no usable mirrors for makeup, no comfortable place to sit, no privacy, was discouraging. Having to supply our own bedding, towels, and cleanup, the price was too high.

Not what we expected for the price.

While we expected a rustic experience, we were disappointed with the lack of care taken to make the property what we know it could be. There were a number of cabins on the property and most were not labeled (including ours), so it was difficult to find. A can of cigarette butts welcomed us at the front door, which was covered in wasp mud. We quickly covered up the multiple stained bed cover with our own bedding. We pulled up the paint-splattered folding chairs to the tiny table for supper, then took extra time taking all the cinder blocks out of the fire pit that had been piled up (why?) since we wanted a fire. The AC was covered in dirt, and the inside of the toilet hadn't been cleaned. There is a gap under the door large enough to allow small critters and cold breezes inside. Positives: internet worked great, AC was nice and cold, and there's a fabulous winery just down the road. Maybe our standards are too high, but when you pay that much per night (don't forget the taxes and fees!), I expected better. This could have been a cool place and still can be if more care is taken for the property.
