Perfect for our little family
This Little cottage had everything we needed to. Have a good weekend. There are tons of board games and cards, a pool table which my son loved, lots of places to play video games or watch TV, and the hot tub and fire pit area are so nice. The kitchen is well equipped to make dinners.
This was a great getaway! had everything we needed. except password to wifi. all still good! was all peaceful and quiet and had everything we needed. we had a great 3 days!
Thank you
Could use some Aluminum Foil and salifane
wrap. but we had or own at most part.
Plenty of food places around and the shower had great pressure! My husband loved. Thank you and we are planning to come back to same cabin if Available.

Nice Rustic Getaway
Wonderful little getaway. Rustic, but with all the modern conveniences. After a day of hiking the trails of Hocking Hills, unwind by the campfire and relax in the hot tub!

Relax in nature
Great gem of a place. Sitting out in the hot tub was just what we all needed. For us, we all lost cell signal on the way, so print a map just in case before going so if you loose your Waze you can find your way.

Thank you for a wonderful stay
Thank you! The home was perfect for us to hike at Hocking Hills. Also, super clean with everything we needed with a comfy bed. The hot tub (nicest and cleanest we have ever seen at other places we've stayed) and nice firepit in a secluded setting to enjoy. A perfect location to end our day hiking. We'll definitely be back.
