This was the perfect bday spot for just relaxing. Fishing at the pond in the morning, then hiking and the hot tub at night. This would be a great spot for a family trip as well. Will definitely come back and bring the kids.

Rained almost the whole time so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoors much, couldn't go hiking through the woods because all the paths were covered in grass and high weeds, and all the rooms were smaller than they look on line. It's a cute little place but it's not made for large group who has to stay inside because of rain

Response from VrboOwner on 5 October 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the weather limited your ability to enjoy the outdoors and understand how that can be especially challenging for a larger group. The owners have been actively working throughout the month to improve the outdoor areas and address the overgrown paths. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.

We had a wonderful quick stay at this property in Hocking Hills. The pond on site was a real highlight, we spent time fishing right from the property, which made for a relaxing addition to the trip. The home itself had plenty of space for us, and it never felt cramped even with everyone coming and going between activities.The location was quiet and peaceful, perfect for unwinding after a day out exploring the area's sights, hiking trails, and kayaking. Hocking Hills has so much natural beauty nearby, and having a home base like this made it easy to get out and explore while still having a comfortable, low key place to return to.Overall, a great spot for anyone looking to combine some outdoor adventure with a relaxing home away from home. We'd definitely consider staying here again.

It was a blessing to gather together for our annual fishing trip.

The pond was a gift after a day of fishing to fish a bit more. We enjoyed fishing Lake Hope, Dow Lake, Logan Lake, and the Hocking river. This location provided us a central means of travel; 30 minutes or less. The grounds were well groomed, the house clean, and a surprise visit from a raccoon as we sat around the fire-stand at night gave us something to talk about. We all enjoyed the house and the location.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad our property could be part of your annual fishing trip and that you enjoyed the pond, convenient location, and peaceful setting. It sounds like the raccoon made for a memorable campfire story as well! We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome your group back for many fishing trips to come.

My husband and I came here for a long weekend to escape how busy life can get and just relax. This was the perfect place for that. Morning coffee by the pond, breakfast on the patio, the hot tub after a long hike, and a fire to end the night. We also loved the arcade games in the basement getting to channel our inner child. We will definitely be coming back!

We needed to buy toilet paper because there were seven men. The pond provided a relaxing opportunity too fish. The evening visit from a raccoon was a surprise. We were there to fish; Lake Hope, Dow Lake, Logan Lake, and the Hocking River. All were within 30 minutes away. We will visit there again. Many blessings

Wonderful place for family gathering

This house has it all. From the pond, fire pit and the amazing game room there is something for everyone. We loved the spacious porch with swing and large table. I would highly recommend this cabin. It had a very well stocked kitchen and the hosts thought of everything.

Place was just ok. Kitchen is severely under supplied with pots/pans and no basic spices, oil or sugar. No Kleenex. Basement doesn’t have lights to get into the basement bedroom. No video games as pictured. House is extremely remote without cell phone service and no gas station or grocery store for at least 20 mins drive away. We felt we overpaid for the Memorial Day weekend for what we got.

The place could’ve been a little cleaner. It doesn’t look like the cleaning company mopped any of the living room or dining room room. The basement room carpet didn’t look like it had been vacuumed. There was dust all over the bathroom, vanity cabinet doors and the bathroom closet door.The coffee cups three out of the five had chips in them around the drinking surface.
