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.

Started right off when we arrived, the grass was tall. There was pet hair on the couch and beds. We had to go get new sheets and pillow cases at walmart to sleep on. We had to wipe down the couch. The coffee pot glass was broke on the bottom. The shower head needs replaced, sprays everywhere. We stayed Monday-Friday. They finally mowed the grass on Wednesday and we got to use the firepit Wednesday and Thursday night. This is by far the worst place we've stayed.

Great place to stay

Great place to stay. House was very clean and well furnished with everything needed for our short visit. Our family of 5 had enough space and my older sons enjoyed the Nintendo games. Hot tub was very nice after a long day of hiking at Hocking Hills. We had to contact the owners and they promptly replied and fixed a minor issue. Would definitely go back if the opportunity arises.

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!

Great little vrbo

We stayed here for 3 nights while hiking at all the Hocking hills properties. It was a little farther from the hiking than we thought - about a 40 minute drive, but was worth it. Our kids loved this place with the super Nintendo and hot tub especially! Our first night when we arrived, there were some issues with the hot tub and the owners were very quick to respond and came out the next morning and had everything taken care of that day. They even refunded us a portion of our stay for the inconvenience. We would definitely stay here again if visiting the area!

We didn't stay at the property. When we arrived there, around 5pm, the code that was provide by email didn't work. We tried for many times to open the front the door, also tried to reach out to the owners, but no answers. Ww contacted VRBO and they sent us to a local hotel only for a one night even thought we have bought our stay at the cottage for 2 nights. Until now the owners hadn't contact us at least for an apologies. The whole situation was a real scam and now we are waiting for our refund.

This house had everything we needed for a nice family weekend. Pots, pans, plates, bowls and utensils were all there for use. Hot tub was nice and clean. I will say this, this house has VERY low ceilings. If you are over 6’ 2” I would not recommend this house. I am 5’3” and was able to touch the ceiling. My husband is 6’ and on his tippy toes his head touched the ceiling. Overall very nice stay. We had everything we needed and am very happy we stayed there.
