Wonderful vacation spot

The cabin was very clean and absolutely beautiful. Property was very quiet even with two other cabins near by. I would most definitely stay here again. Cabin was big enough for my family of 5 but would be good as well for a couple.

Wonderful Week Away

Perfectly located between Hocking Hills area and Jackson. Great places for hiking, including Lake Katharine. Loved the Amish bakery (thank you to the host for recommending 4-Mile Bakery) and relaxing in the hot tub. Sitting on the front porch, we heard no less than 40 different types of birds on our phone app. The host was very gracious and even brought over lanterns before a storm hit in case the electricity went out (it did not). Highly recommended.
