Many positives - location, privacy, shaded, cozyFew negatives - directions could be better, not many kitchen amenities, several things around the house could have used a little updating but that will not keep us from returning. For the price - it was well worth it!

Late August family trop

Cabin was everything we needed. Great for kids, I liked the secluded location however my kids did not like the added driving to hocking hills that came with that. Benefit however was being close to lake Hope which has lots to offer.

Quiet place in the woods

Enjoyed our time here! Communication was good, property was as expected, lovely secluded setting- just what we like. Very easy access and comfortable digs. It’s a 40 minute drive to the Hocking Hills Visitor Center but it’s a pretty drive- lots to see in between.

Quiet, clean, cute cabin

Cute, comfortable cabin for family of 5 with older children. Loved having so much privacy when out by the fire at night- just the sounds of nature. Great price and totally worth it if you don’t mind having to drive 30 minutes to all the tourist attractions. Would definitely stay again!

Would rate a 5 BUT

So to start, if you are an outdoors person this cabin is great! this Cabin is amazing, gorgeous and the inside is well cleaned! ….BUT if you HATE spiders, I would book else where. Spiders all over the doors, the outdoor chairs, windows just everywhere. we couldn’t walk in and out of the door without another spider hanging or crawling.

Raging storms didn’t stop the show

Everything as advertised. I went with a few old college buddies to hike Ash Cave to Old Man’s Cave, arriving in the throes of some crazy rain and wind. We lost power that night and while we were away half a day hiking on Saturday. A third of the county lost it. Can only chalk that up to chance and the owner was gracious enough to look into it and get updates. It did not impact the fun we had in any major way. We made do with headlamps as a little lighting and it ironically we may have had better conversation all the more for it. As for the property, it is about a thirty minute drive to those caves priorly mentioned, but there are also so many attractions along the way in all directions. McArthur town is quaint but also has a good restaurant for us to visit Saturday. Local, good and cheap. Sleeping arrangements worked out well for four bigger dudes. It has tons of entertainment choices but we stuck to good ole fun and a fire on Saturday night in a nice pit a dozen steps from the house. Highly recommended.

Getaway to the Woods

The check-in process and the kitchen facilities were great. We had everything that we needed. It was a little bit difficult to get to the cabin with the GPS at night, but we did find it. It was a basic cabin with no special amenities, but we did have everything that we needed. The only thing I could say really is that the beds weren’t the most comfortable but overall it was a comfortable stay. We loved how we had a secluded little spot, but we’re still close enough to a supermarket less than 15 minutes away. The outdoor chairs are worn and broken, but you can always bring your own camp chairs and there is furniture on the front porch and a picnic table. We would stay here again, but we would probably upgrade our cabin due to wanting to go with a bigger party next time and have more amenities. I would look to rent from these owners again though.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin.It was a bit out of the way for hiking at Hocking hills… the trails are 30-50 minutes drive away, but definitely worth the drive and stay.

You get what you pay for

While the cabin served our needs as a place to stay for the Hocking Hills Winter Hike, the 2 biggest issues for us were filthy blinds and broken blind on the ground level bedroom so anyone driving down the road or walking up to the cabin had a clear view into the bedroom. And the septic system bangs so loud any time you flush or use a sink, it sounds like King Kong approaching.
