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.

We had quick and easy response with the host. Clean accommodations and quiet surroundings. The grill was new and clean which we enjoyed using. The hot tub cover should be replaced. It made the hot tub uninviting. Also the pans could be replaced. Normally we bring our own electric griddle but we unfortunately forgot this trip. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at The Cardinal’s Nest. It was comfortable and a very nice place to stay. We hope to stay there again!

First of all it’s adorable and well equipped with everything we needed. Plenty of hooks and blankets and towels! Hot tub was clean. The location is a 20-30 min drive to things BUT beautifully remote and the roads and driveway after a light snow the night before were perfectly kept. We will be back.

It was so much fun!

I liked that the place was clean and I loved the games that were provided such as corn hole, hookey, and the arcade game. The screened in porch was nice and the extra chiller for drinks downstairs.

This place was perfect! Arriving late in the evening, the lights were on and it felt like we were arriving at home. Large, spacious rooms exactly as pictured with lots of furnishings and utensils for cooking and baking. We had our Thanksgiving dinner here and the views and location couldn't have been better. It was discussed to celebrate other holidays here as well. Thank you!

The property did not disappoint. It was just as pictured. The beds were comfortable, the location is secluded so you canenjot the deck and hot tub. The driveway is steep and curvy , we missed it at first but figured it out.

It was an amazing place to stay that we cannot wait to book again!

Honestly, everything. It was a beautiful place inside and out! Amazing views! We enjoyed the privacy and comfortability the entire property provided! It was a great escape with nature, we even got to see two baby deer one morning! Again, honestly enjoyed every aspect of it!

Adorable cabin close to all of the hiking spots around Hocking Hills. Updated and modern. Kids loved the loft with the PAC-MAN machine. Hot tub was great after a long day of hiking, however, the lid is in need of repair and was hard to take on and off. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash were provided which was a nice touch! Would recommend this cabin. Thanks!
