Beautiful fall
The house is layed out in such a way that is conducive to family gatherings and the setting is beautiful. Fire pit was well enjoyed as well as the decks. Only drawbacks were that shower water pressure was desirable and in the evenings there was a strong gas odor outdoors that prompted us to call.

Great family vacation spot
We loved staying here with our adult Children and a few friends. We took advantage of most of the amenities and cooked every night. The stove knobs were broken and the coffee maker is not a keurig so we had to go and get coffee at the gas station, but otherwise the kitchen was well stocked. I believe supplying extra towels for each room would be a good going forward since you Use them to shower and for the hot tub. We lost power a couple times but it was brief. We would absolutely stay here again.

Birthday Celebration
It was in the woods so the porches and decks were covered with debris and the tables were dirty. We only used the fire pit area and the hot tub. The front door lock would not work. The inside of the main cabin was clean, but the adjacent cabin was not. It advertised 2 king beds but there was only one in the small cabin.

Better than expected!
My wife and i rented this property for our wedding. At first we were hesitant, but when we arrived our conerns were settled. We had plenty of room for our guests. The property, house and cabin were beautiful. The owners even suprised us with a bottle of champagne. The day before our wedding, a strong storm blew through and left a mess. I reached out to the property manager, and she had landscapers promptly come out and clean up the deck and surrounding area. Highly reccomend if you're looking for a property near hocking hills.

Pretty Setting, Good Main House, Separate Cabin Not Ideal
We rented this property for a getaway for New Years with two families. The separate cabin was the biggest disappointment - 1) the water pressure is very bad which other reviewers have mentioned and 2) the smell was awful. It seems like it may have been musty and air fresheners were being used and were so strong, we all woke up feeling sick and then had to move to the main house which was unplanned. The main house is great for making meals and gathering around the large table (for eating, playing games/doing crafts, etc.). The bathroom set up isn't ideal for multiple families since three bedrooms are upstairs and share one full bath which shares space with the laundry area. And, then one half bath off the living room. The other bedroom is downstairs with a full bath. The bathroom doors are large sliders which we all commented didn't feel very private. For our situation, we knew we wanted a separate area where the kids could hang out and the downstairs with games and tv worked well. The main hang out space upstairs is surrounded by windows and was very cold during our stay. We made use of the hot tub and fire pit area. Unfortunately, two of the teens had "hot tub" rash following our stay. The alarm system requires some work to stop it from beeping. We have stayed in a lot of excellent properties and found this property was okay but not overwhelming. Our biggest frustration was poor communication from the property manager when we tried to offer feedback about our stay.

Fun Birthday Weekend
We stayed to celebrate a birthday with family. This place was amazing! We were able to enjoy the firepit and the outside grill. The number of bedrooms worked great for our large family and the bathrooms are nicely updated. The only issue was the water pressure in the back cottage. I would highly recommend this place!

Great place to stay!
We loved the property; scenic, spacious, lots of conveniences and peaceful. My husband and I stayed in the separate cabin to sleep while everyone else stayed in the main property. The bed was comfy and it was nice and spacious. We did have an issue with water pressure in the small cabin where the water dropped to a trickle in the shower mid-shower but that was the only issue there. In the main property friends mentioned the beds were a little too firm for them but everything else far outweighed it. Plenty of cookware, large table to eat or play games, though the chairs were not very comfortable. The kitchen was amazing! We made use the hot tub, which was nice as well as the fire pit. We would suggest putting tarps over the provided wood to help keep the wood dry, but we were able to dig through to find some dry wood to get things going. We also used the gas grill, but we’re a little concerned as there was a strong smell of gas while cooking. We were not certain if there was a leak somewhere or not but wanted to mention. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again in the future.

Reunion happiness
Our family reunion was in late September with beautiful sunny, warm fall weather. This allowed us to spend the majority of our time on the deck. Most of our party were in their 60’s. The two steps leading from the first floor hallway and dining room into the kitchen do not have a railing. Our first evening, a member of our family was wearing socks and fell on the hardwood floor after stepping down resulting in a bruised ego. Another injury occurred from hitting the sliding barn door. She suffered a black eye. Several more times during the visit, the door came off the track. There were no bath towels in the basement nor bath mats and no sheets on one of the beds. We called the next morning and staff profusely apologized and was told that the situation would be rectified, and it was. Also the deck area was covered with leaves and firewood was lacking by the fire pit. The amenities listed on the website did not list a hand mixer. It did not work. Only one beater could be inserted, the second kept falling out. The Cusinart coffeemaker was slow. A Bunn coffeemaker would be a better. In better accommodations, a Kuerig is standard. A four slice toaster makes more sense. Overall, kitchen ware should be of commercial grade in our opinion. We appreciated a full compliment of flatware and did not have to worry about running out of clean silverware. Overall enjoyed our stay. The weather made up for minor inconveniences. We will consider Sugar Grove in the future.

We had a great time here. It was a very calm and private area. The whole place was very clean and there were lots of places for us to gather—we had a group of 11 and it was perfect.

Lovely stay in Sugar Grove
We stayed here with extended family so that we could hike around Hocking Hills. There was plenty of space for all of us. I'd recommend bringing beach towels if you plan to use the hot tub as there aren't extra bath towels. You'll also need to bring your own paper towels, dish washing pods, toilet paper and laundry soap as they only give enough for the first 24-48 hours of your stay.

The property was clean. The cabin outside did have an odd smell to it but it was okay. It also had bad wifi out there. The kitchen was well-stocked, only noticed it was missing a cheese grater (mother's request). There were a couple of loose screws on the deck. Overall it was an very beautiful property with new updates and recommend.
