Girls weekend

This is my second time staying at this cabin and we very much enjoyed it! The location is great, we felt secluded but close enough to the hiking trails. I highly recommend staying here!

Gorgeous, clean and quiet

This property was so pristine, warm and cozy. It was a girls getaway which was perfect for our small group. Hiked Hocking Hills during the day and went back for quiet evenings with a bonus ...a clean relaxing hot tub overlooking nature. Beds comfortable, kitchen stocked with what we needed and the complimentary snacks and wine were a golden touch. We all agreed that we HIGHLY recommend this property!

Amazing Hocking Hills cabin

This property was perfect for a girls trip! The windows viewing the woods were such a show piece and made every day feel really special. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary equipment for cooking and the house had plenty of blankets to snuggle up with in the cold evenings.

Clean and well thought out cabin. It had everything we needed. It was kind of a dreary weekend so the wall to ceiling windows made us feel like we were outside and made the indoors brighter. Nice propane indoor fireplace as well, that made the indoor atmosphere so cozy. Beds were comfortable. Nice clean hot tub. We even used the outdoor fire pit, which had a really nice patio set-up with plenty of fold-up chairs from the master closet that were available for use. Close to many of hikes! We would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful getaway

We rented the cabin for the weekend to celebrate my daughter’s 20th birthday. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and very spacious. We were so appreciative of all the amenities and extras that the cabin had so we only had to venture out once to get the few items that we forgot to bring. I loved sitting by the fire in the morning and loved watching the snow fall from the hot tub. The check in and out process was incredibly simple. I’d love to come back and spend more time here during the warmer months!

Beautiful and Private Cabin

Our family of five adults stayed here for 3 nights. The cabin was so bright and comfortable and very clean. The deck and patio area are private and peaceful. The caves and other activities we enjoyed were within 20-25 minutes drive. There is a lovely winery down the street which we visited twice. We are already looking forward to staying here again next year. We highly recommend Fern Woods!!

This cabin is immaculate. It has everything you need to cook, nice bathrooms and bedrooms. It’s the cleanest place we have ever stayed and I am pretty particular with rentals. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub was relaxing and very very clean. Communication with the owner was easy as well.
