Secluded and private but needs some work
The property was very secluded and private which was wonderful and the main reason we picked this cabin. The outdoor hot tub was really nice. There were a few cleanliness issues, dirt and fur in the corners, ripped up living room rug corners, broken end table leg, ants in the kitchen and bathroom, broken end table lamps. Nothing major that made us not want to stay, just things noticed. The next day a wasp had somehow gotten in and promptly stung my wife at breakfast right in her face. We used the supplied wasp spray and killed it. There were lots of wood boring bees eating the edges of the porch and a wasps nest in the electrical box right near the stairs at the property. The picnic table was a disaster and did not seem safe to sit on, it was literally falling apart as were the supplied chairs- the seat of one was completely cracked. Thankfully we used our own chairs we had brought. The bed was not very comfortable, it didn't seem to have a real mattress just a foam mattress which was not at all breathable. The kitchen had everything we needed and the T.V. was awesome. The shower was very tight and the only two mirrors in the cabin were very very small, and only showed your face not you full body. Small changes would really help spruce this cabin right up. Not trying to pick the cabin apart just sharing about our stay. We would love to come back again sometime.

Fantastic Place!!!
To start to say this place was great is an understatement! Was the perfect place for my wife and I’s first wedding anniversary. Check in and check out were very simple. The evenings and mornings were relaxing as could be with the location being very secluded. Cabin was very very clean and comfy all the way around. We look forward to making this a tradition and going back every year. I seen some negative comments leading up to our stay which is generally just a year say. To say those comments were the furthest from the truth would be an understatement!! If your looking for that perfect cabin tucked back in the woods experience. This is the place to be!

Perfect Romantic Weekend Getaway
Enough room to have some fun and not feel cramped, but not overwhelmingly large. Lovely wood everywhere, with a comfy couch and TV. Hot tub is A+, and using the lawn chairs to stargaze ruled! Only bummer is crummy cell service / no internet, but we wanted to get away anyway! Would stay again for sure.

Not anything we expected
Location and exterior of cabin was amazing! You enter and it smelled of wet blankets. The couch is broken and old, no more cushion on the sofa, just material. It was so uncomfortable trying to sit and watch tv. The bed linens were extremely old, pillows were completely flat, and sheets, blanket were not clean or comfortable. The towels in the bathroom had no threaded material and were more like used wash cloths. Rules said you could not sure off AC wall unit, it constantly turned on and off and it was bedside on the wall! Who can sleep like that???? The hot tube, location and exterior was nice. I rent cabins, me and my husband and we have never been this disappointed!

First time in a cabin.
Everything was clean, except for the couch was covered in pet hair. Our clothing was covered and it was transferred to the vehicle, now I have to have the vehicle cleaned of pet hair. The place did have the smell of animal and my wife noticed it more than I did. The toilet was too low to the floor. The only board game we wanted to play was missing a piece and it was cold in there for a while. Last, but not least, the driveway was snow covered and luckily we didn’t get stuck. All in all, I’d rent it again, if everything was remedied. Thank you!

Great secluded place
We loved this little cabin. It is far enough away from everything to feel like no one is nearby, but close enough to the main sights that you can still enjoy them. It is quiet and restful. The bed is comfortable. The shower is small, and they should hire a good exterminator. Overall it was a wonderful experience to stay here. We would recommend it.

The cabin was cute, clean and a good size for two. It was peaceful and relaxing sitting on the porch. We were disappointed there were no defined trails on the property - that was a selling point for us! The pots / pans need to be updated, and the bed was very uncomfortable.

Leave the world behind
This is a beautiful cabin for a couples getaway. No internet or social media distractions. Just a beautiful cabin where you can watch the birds, squirrels, baby deer and whatever else decides to walk through. No you are right in Hocking Hills but a nice country ride for 15-20 minutes gets you the caves. I advise going in the morning as afternoons get crowded in the main areas. 15 minutes south the town of MacArther has a grocery store to grab things for the grill. Or there is a stove and microwave. We didn’t eat out so can not advise of what is near. After hiking and having your meal, the hot tub is perfect for those sore muscles. There is DirecTV but we decided to disconnect completely. If you go this route, there is a variety of games to play in the coffee table. To sum this up, I would definitely stay here again.
