Beautiful cabin but needs a little extra effort
Posted Jul. 7, 2024 on HomeAwayGood place but no little extras for the price. Small issues needed fixed for the amount paid: cabin at 78 degrees at height of the hot and humid summer and my asthmatic husband wheezing for 12 hours until it finally cooled down and needing fans at full blast to make it bearable; shower in main suite didn’t drain well; tub in main suite didn’t stay stoppered; right, front stove burner didn’t work. Beautiful property and cabin but for the price, they need to maintain the small things better. I have stayed at higher priced places previously and it is the small, extra things that make the stay special and worth it. They need to put the extra effort to make it worth it.

Family trip to Hocking Hills
Posted Apr. 16, 2024 on HomeAwayWe enjoyed our stay at black bear lodge. The cabin was very secluded and quiet. We enjoyed using the hot tub in the evening after a long hike. The cabin was very spacious and clean. We would stay here again!

Nice Place

More than I expected
Posted Apr. 1, 2024 on HomeAwayEverything from location, the fact that we were 20 mins or less to stores (Antique Mall), the hot tub, and being able to sit with family and cook for family was even better. We needed to bring nothing but food.

Really nice stay
Posted Jan. 20, 2024 on HomeAwayThis home is very nice and had everything needed to make our stay enjoyable, comfortable and convenient. We had a small family gathering for the holidays and enjoyed family meals, visiting and card playing each evening. We had our two dogs with us and there was plenty of yard space for them to explore. The location is great, very peaceful and quiet but close enough to both Nelsonville and Athens. The check in was fast and easy, but you have to stop in their local store/office to get checked in prior to going to the home and again to drop off the home key after your stay, a minor inconvenience. The home was very clean inside throughout and had all the needed amenities. The interior is well updated and all the wood work gives it a rustic cabin feel and it’s well furnished. It was decorated for Christmas time. The hot tub was functional but has wear and tear, we didn’t use it because it didn’t appear recently well cleaned. Not a big disappointment because we weren’t counting on using it. There were some dog piles between the pool and hot tub that had been missed or ignored by previous visitors. Overall we enjoyed our time at the home and would recommend it for a stay in the area, we would stay here again.
Thank you First Choice

Beautiful
Posted Dec. 31, 2023 on HomeAwayBeautiful house and property. Little disappointed the fireplace wasn’t operational but no big deal. One bench in dining room was broke when we arrived but I notified the host and received a quick response. Our family had a fabulous time! Would highly recommend.
