Nice, Quiet, and Peaceful
Exactly what we were looking for, to wake up and have our coffee looking out at nature. This year has been the first we included our pets and they seemed to get along well with a short overnighter and surroundings.
It was a cute, cozy cabin. The hosts were very friendly with great communication. My only suggestion would be to put a lock on the door (personal comfort). Thank you for a great stay and hospitality!

Cute Little Cabin
The cabin was really cute and perfect size for us. The owner was very polite and the place was clean. However, it was disappointing to find out when we arrived that there was no bathroom in the cabin we had to use an outhouse and a shower room that was in a separate building as well. The photos made it seem the bathroom was in the cabin as it showed shower curtains but it was actually a separate building.outhousand a se

I’ll just keep coming back to the cabin in the wood anytime I stay near Hocking Hills.
Wonderful property hidden away in the woods. Lots of activities to do while there and even more to find in the town down the road and the trails only a short drive away.

Didn’t feel safe
No toilet in bath house, outhouse was for this cabin on premises (smelled terrible), no keys or anything issued to lock up cabin. Anybody could have went thru your belongings. These issues need to be made aware before rental. Was told I would be only cabin used upon getting there. People were all back on the premises walking around and pulling up in trucks. Didn’t feel safe at all. First and last time at this cabin. Ended up leaving around 7pm. Terrible stay. Refunded would be nice!!

Perfect for Hocking Hills
This is a great property not far from Hocking Hills. Price is right, host is amazing. Just make sure that you read the description: toilet is not inside the cabin. We knew about it and that was not the problem for us. would stay again.

Great Place
Loved the place. It was beautiful. Even the owner gave us an upgrade despite us only leasing a simple cabin. She was very friendly and even came out to greet us as we were pulling into the property. Loved her. Great, friendly, bent over backwards to make sure our stay was as memorable as the cabin we stayed in. Would go there again when in the area. Thank you.

Ok
In my honest opinion, there needs to be a toilet in the sink/shower room. Maybe we just aren't the right customers for this location.
