READ BEFORE BOOKING:Be sure the host will not be out of town during your stay, or communication with them will be almost nonexistent. Verification after booking may fail, but no one will bother to notify you of this. Cabin is infested with flies (not ladybugs or stink bugs) - see picture of just half the ones we killed ourselves within first 30 minutes. Maintenance attempted to help with this issue by placing used / dirty fly traps. Hot tub bleaches bathing suits - see picture. WiFi goes out completely every 3-5 minutes for at least 10-15 minutes, despite having two routers - take this into consideration if you have anyone back home who may need to get ahold of you. Kitchen window leaks - we woke up to wet shoes because of this. The water and the power depend on each other in some capacity, but you could completely lose access to water and still have power. If you’ve made it this far and are still considering - location was close to Hocking Hills entrance, which was nice. Sound machine was nice to have, since so close to a main road.

Quick Trip to Hocking Hills

Our host was very attentive. I couldn’t ask for better communication. Our cabin was super clean and well stocked with all the necessities, coffee, and toiletries. The bed was comfy too! I can’t always say that when we’re traveling. If you’re planning on being out and about this cabin is more than enough. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again

Cute and cozy!

This spot was perfect for my fiancé and I! It was very clean and the location was great for our weekend of hiking! The hot tub and jacuzzi bath were life savers after long days on the trails. Fire pit was nice to cuddle up around too! Owner was very helpful and responsive and made us feel welcome. All around a very cozy, romantic get-away!
