Weekend getaway

We had a wonderful weekend getaway! The house was beautifully furnished with all the essentials, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The hot tub was exactly what we needed to relax, and we loved the little bar area and outdoor TV. The only downside was that the hot tub lacked privacy, as people could walk or drive by, which felt a bit awkward. Other than that, everything was perfect, and we would definitely stay again!

Lakeview cabin

The cabin did meet most of our needs. The beds where pretty comfortable. The roads where horrible, but it did rain a lot during our stay. Speaking of that. We really couldn't enjoy the porch or hot tub much because they are not covered. And right above the hot tub is a power line. That is kinda scary. They said the cabin was fully stocked and for the most part it was. But we had to go to the store many times to get things. So I will tell you what you need to bring. Because a store is 20-30 minutes away. They said to bring your own charcoal for the grill, but you Also need to bring a lighter. No batteries in TV remote. They have a washer and dryer but so not provide any laundry soap. They left us 4 k cups for 6 people for the week. So bring your own coffee also creamer and sugar. I am used to vacation homes providing all of these things so that was disappointing that we had to purchase all of those items. Had we known we would have packed them. Hopefully this helps someone else or they start providing all of this.

Peaceful but not

Initially when we arrived it was peaceful. Then came the gatherings and parties down at the beach / swimming area, not to mention a few days worth of late night fireworks. There were several individuals doing donuts on 4wheelers all evening long. The quiet hours after 10pm does not exist. I would highly suggest that if you are going to advertise your house to look a certain way then it should be what we expect. There are no blankets in the house. It can get cold downstairs and you have these very thin bed covers on the beds. I am not sure if they even qualify as comforters. This is a six person max house, however your sitting area in the living room allows for four. The remote in the living room did not work due to no batteries. The fire pit only had two chairs (which were from the patio table on the deck) and two benches to sit on. If you're like me and like to relax around the fire, the benches were not comfortable for that. Please make sure to have blankets, everything works and maybe some window coverings for that early morning sun. Overall it wasn't bad. I just felt a little misled by the description and pictures.

Hiking trip

The cleanliness and location of the cabin were great! My only recommendation would be to add a dish washer and blinds on the windows. The host said there was a camera facing door, but it was located on the side of the house at the fire pit which made us slightly uncomfortable. Overall, we had a fantastic weekend and would definitely go back.

Lovely weekend

We really enjoyed our stay here. The kayaks were really fun and the setting was beautiful. It would be so amazing if they had firewood available for sale at the site but it was a minor inconvenience and we knew we should have picked it up earlier. This cottage is simple and does not come with many amenities but that was clear from the description. As long as you come prepared, it is a really wonderful spot. We definitely plan to visit again.

Girls trip

The place was perfect, the view from the porch was spectacular, Hocking Hills was very close. The road in was a bit treacherous and the upstairs loft was a bit warm compared to the lower level. Very clean. Hot tub wasn’t as clean as expected but we used it. Fire pit was wonderful.

Several cleanliness, maintenance and accommodation issues

The home was cozy but there were several issues that we had. There is not enough kitchen attire to accommodate a family making meals. There is no Tupperware for food storage, they barely provide enough dishes to serve a meal outside 1 of the 3 pot/pans you cooked it in. If you’re staying a few/several days you will want to bring Tupperware and dishes to prepare meals in. There were lots & lots of cob webs throughout the hom. Our bathroom hand soap was watered down! I went to use it and it literally sprayed all over my top! Under the couch and beds were debris/ dirt, m&m’s and chip crumbs from the last guests. The “bar” room off of the hot tub area was not even cleaned after previous guests. There was empty ice bags left in freezer, chips, straw wrappers and candy wrappers on floor, counter had dried drink spills and glass ring marks all over. The last group must of had a celebration there was confetti pieces all over the floor. The washer does NOT work. I am assuming because all the hoses are so jammed and kinked behind the washer/dryer in the very small laundry closet and the dryer vent is so pinched off that it vents into the house. Almost every kitchen chair was very wobbly, unfortunately we did not have an Allen wrench on us but we could hand tighten them so we could eat as a family at the table. Ceiling fan, exhaust fans pretty full of accumulated dust. The dvd player was broken along with the table top record player. The views were amazing and the pond was enjoyable.
