Easy access to the property and Wi-Fi worked great. \*\*\*Be aware / T-Mobile signal is weak in this area. ##### Bogdan B. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric S. 29 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ideal for a getaway We loved staying here! The house was clean and well kept up, and the view out back was tremendous - it backs on to a huge tree-lined ravine and a state forest (I can only imagine what it's like in the fall when the leaves change colors). The location is fairly remote which is perfect for a getaway with peace and quiet, but close enough to the Hocking Hills to make for some good sightseeing. There's a grocery store about 15 (?) minutes down the road as well. The host (Lena) was easy to communicate with and went out of her way to fix the wifi right after we checked in, and made sure we had everything we needed. I definitely recommend a stay here! ##### Eric S.
