Welcome to our peaceful, rustic cabin in the Hocking Hills Area

Perfect For Us
This was the perfect spot for my wife and our six-year old. In full disclosure, I didn't realize where we were in relation to Hocking Hills which was our main destination for our getaway but the 40-min drive to and from was scenic and easy to make. The cabin itself was beautiful and we got to experience it during warm weather and fairly cold weather thanks to an ever-changing Ohio fall. Highly recommended!
Cozy cabin. Quiet area.
Perfect getaway spot for a family that needs to disconnect from the outside world to connect with each other.

Not what expected
The property is located in between two other cabins one being the owners and the other rentals . The cabin in the back had a old man that kept staring at me and my friend when we went outside so we could only play in the front yard . The owners didn’t really bother us just didn’t know they was going to be that close watching . The fire pit is far away from the cabin it’s by the other cabin in the back so we felt like the other cabin was watching us bc their window was next to the fire pit . Pictures are deceiving .It did smell good and was clean with a nice tub lol just not what we expected from the pictures

Perfect Property
Cabin was very nice, and exactly as pictured. The loft area beds were perfect for our children, and everyone enjoyed the jetted tub. Quiet property within a modest drive to the state parks (45 minutes to Hocking Hills State Park). We would definitely stay again.

Wonderful vacation spot
The cabin was very clean and absolutely beautiful. Property was very quiet even with two other cabins near by. I would most definitely stay here again. Cabin was big enough for my family of 5 but would be good as well for a couple.

Great Cabin and Location
The cabin was well equipped with everything we could need for the week. It was easy access to Wellston, with good choices of restaurants when we wanted to eat out. The property was very quiet, very few cars traveled on the road in front of the cabin, so it was nice to sit on the front porch enjoying the evenings. Ruth was very responsive when we needed her. We hope to be back again!
