We were very pleased with our stay. Close to atv trails, which was great for our family, but also close enough to explore hocking hills. Hot tub, and fire pit were both great. We would stay again for sure!

My girlfriend group of four stayed as we were participating in the Mammoth March. The home was a bit challenging to find and the cell service is spotty but it was indeed a relaxing refuge following a grueling 20 mile hike! They had a well appointed kitchen, lots of towels and the air conditioning worked nicely! The hot tub was absolutely a dream after the hike!

The ac had a hard time keeping up, but honestly most ac units would with a large place. Its understandable!. The hot tub was relaxing. The grill was dirty and there was mouse poop in drawers and food on the fridge handles. There was a dead mouse on a sticky pad outside a broken window and a broken door knob. Not complaining, just want to give a heads up for maybe the next guest in case they're a bit more picky. But overall it was a great much needed get away! The couches were super comfortable as well! And im in love with the layout of the place! Also, have a great day! Romans 1:18.

Riders Roost

We enjoyed our stay at Riders Roost. Property was clean and had what we needed for our stay. We spent time exploring Hocking Hills State Park and were able to come back and relax after our hikes. Check in/ check out was easy and we were given suggestions for things to do and places to eat.

Kitchen was fully equiped for cooking. Nice size driveway and yard. Everything was clean. The heat distributed a little funky as the 2 downstairs bedrooms got a bit cold at night. Probably should add a note that there isn't any cell reception in the house (we had nothing on Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile). The wifi had good signal strength and was fairly fast and it was definitely our lifeline without reception :). Host had good communication.

Great house

We throughly enjoyed our stay here. Close drive to Hocking Hills and to Athens. We loved coming home each day to the awesome hot tub. House offers lots of room and was very clean with a well stocked kitchen. We walked a bit directly behind the house on what seemed to be an old ATV path and it was very pretty and serene.

Beautiful property right next to the woods

My partner and I are in our 60's, so having a nature spot to enjoy, a very nice hot tub, and an indoor whirlpool tub was quite therapeutic. Overall a peaceful weekend to pamper and recharge! Would recommend :)

Great trip!

For the price, this place is a steal! It was very clean, spacious, and had all of the things we were looking for. We had a great hike and enjoyed being outdoors the majority of our time. The only thing I would have liked better would be a contactless check in, instead of driving into town to sign in and get a key. All in all, this was the prefect two day getaway for the three of us and our two dogs!

Memorial getaway

We had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean, I did have to wash the frying pan before using, still had food on it from the previous tenants. I had forgot to bring spices, having a few basics in the cupboards would of been great. Other than that it was great stay, and woulddo it again..
