We are very clear in our description about the steep driveway and we also have the word "hill" in the name of our cabin. The nature of the area in Hocking Hills region is steep, cliffy, and hilly. This is why I am so descriptive in the listing so people understand this.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The property was in great shape clean and as advertised. Very quiet and secluded. The driveway is very steep abut manageable. Would stay here again if I returned to Hocking Hills. There is plenty of hiking and things to see. Would be especially nice with fall colors and when the waterfalls are bigger. Great communication from the host.

Only problem is the upstairs has poor ventilation, it gets 10 degrees warmer than the main level, and first level gets 6 degrees cooler. Beds are on the top level and first level, so either someone is freezing or overheating.
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 13 July 2026
Thank you for your feedback. Your stay happened to coincide with an unusually intense heat wave, often referred to as a "heat dome," when heat index values in Ohio reached around 110°F. While the upstairs bedrooms are typically comfortable, those extreme outdoor temperatures can make it more challenging to keep second-floor spaces as cool as usual. To help during periods of excessive heat, we had ceiling fans installed in the bedrooms as well as additional portable fans for guests' comfort. We appreciate you sharing your experience.

My husband and I stayed at Heart Haus to explore Hocking Hills and relax. The house was exactly as stated. It is a nice sized house with plenty of room especially if you have 4 or 5 people staying there. It had everything we could need and I especially liked that the kitchen cupboards /drawers are labeled showing where things are located. Tara also has a book with a lot of information on things to do / where to eat and maps. We appreciated that very much. The house was clean and inviting. Tara checked in with me to make sure we were settling in. The driveway is steep but she had made that known in advance so we weren’t surprised just a little nervous about parking the car. But it was honestly no big deal. We did see a deer running down the hill. And some chipmunks. The woods are beautiful around there. And sitting on the upper deck was pretty cool. I’m not sure when we will be back to the area but we do want to come back. There’s a lot to explore. I would definitely stay here again.
