Cabin was beautiful and very clean! Everything you need is there and was a short drive to the park. Definitely note the heads up about needing 4WD to get into the driveway! We would absolutely reccommend and stay again!

Great place! Nicely furnished, comfy beds, 2 separate bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. In addition, there was a half bath on the first floor. The loft had a couple of beds well suited to kids. The screened porch off the kitchen was so nice, with the grill close. The hot tube was clean and temp at 100 degrees, the fire pit was delightful and had decent chairs at the fire pit. We would come back again. It was thoughtfully furnished, well equipped, and was a great place to enjoy.

I was completely satisfied with all aspects of my stay!

I enjoyed the quietness and the views from the porch. The fully equipped kitchen was nice on the aspect that I didn't feel like I needed or had to go out for a meal.

This house was beautiful. We absolutely loved it. However the drive way to get into this house was horrendous. We all had sedan type cars and could have easily gotten flat tires. Other than the driveway we recommend this place.

Cabin was clean and spacious

The 3 levels of rooms easily provided space for all 7 of us. We all enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and grilling on the deck. The setting on top of the hill was private and the location was within 10-20 minutes of all the Hocking Hills trails and caves.

Peaceful, cozy and memorable!

The cabin all lit up at night was a beautiful view! There were games already there for us to play and plenty of space for everyone to feel included. We didn’t find the telescope in the booking photos but we could see the stars perfectly from the fire pit so that’s a win! We enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Wonderful location to relax and enjoy nature.

The cabin was clean, fully equipped, and provided a family-friendly location to vacation. The fire-pit and hot tub were a favorite for our family.
