Clean but...
My husband, brother, mom, and I stayed for three nights. I wish I could give the review that other people have given, but unfortunately our stay was just average. At 3:45 on check-in day I received a text message saying there is an issue with the hot tub but will be there to see what the issue is. They showed up at 7:10 and left a few minutes 8. They got it to work but not all of the jets. I realized there were only 6 towels for four people for three days. I sent an email and received a response that they would bring them Monday morning, but they finally arrived at almost 7pm Monday night. If you plan on cooking please be aware that the skillets are very scratched. On a positive the house was clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the check-out process was easy.

DO NOT RESERVE THIS HOME
If i could rate it -5 stars i would. Do not stay at this home, mouse poop, black mold, awful smell. The house should be condemned and tore down. We left and did not stay. They did reimburse our money but no one should stay there for safety reasons. VRBO should ban this property.

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.

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!
