Located at the foothills of the Hocking Hills

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second time staying at this wonderful cabin with my pup, and we had a great time, again! My dog loved exploring the property and we both enjoyed spending time on the front porch taking in the peace and quiet. We even got to watch a beautiful sunset from the porch this time around! We went to Ash Cave and Cedar Falls again this trip, but also checked out some new trails to us that were closer to the cabin, which was fun. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed, and Dave and Dalelene are always great hosts. It was also nice to be able to stream the NBA Finals, so that we could witness the Knicks winning the championship for the first time in 53 years. :) We hope to be back soon!"

A cozy new cabin in rural setting with a hot tub on porch. Beautiful rural view.

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay for us and our dog! Huge secluded area that it’s perfect for dogs to run and play. You can relax in the peace and quiet of the hot tub, or sit next to the fire (our choice). Cabin is lovely! Has everything mentioned and if you need something, stores aren’t far away! Tons of hiking spots within 10-30 minutes. Would definitely come back!"

Nature-Quiet Retreat • Firepit + BBQ • PetFriendly

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean, it was nice and private which we loved! Also loved having a pet friendly place so close to Lake Hope. We normally go tent camping at the near by camp ground because it’s the only pet friendly option we have. Finding this place was a game changer. Extremely pleased with everything! Plenty of space for activities we never felt cramped up. 10/10 would recommend!"

Beautiful, private, serene and clean! Near Athens and Hocking Hills.

"Had some issues on arrival. Bedside lamps in master BR were not plugged in - had to mov ethe bed to plug them in., The bathroom lights would not come on - after lots of investigation, discovered the breaker on the plug in the bathroom needed reset. Minor issues. Silverware in kitchen drawer was dirty, and I rewashed most of it,"

New & Romantic Couples Cabin with hot tub & fire pit near Athens & Hocking Hills

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute little cabin in the woods. We came for our mini honeymoon. People previously did not run the dish washer and it smelt like garbage but other than that very satisfied!"

Serene Rural Retreat w/ Stunning Views - Just a short drive from hiking and OU!

10/10 Excellent

"Often when people are looking to book a vacation or getaway the main thing all have in common is comfort or a home away from home and that is what you will find with this home. Upon booking you are welcomed right away with open communication and a Host that truly cares about their guest. When you arrive at this beautiful home you will notice it sits back away from the road and has a country setting with plenty of parking. Once you enter this home you will see the well thought out spacious layout from the living/dining area to the 2 bedrooms upstairs. The kitchen is fully equipped allowing for easy meals. The bathroom has a great shower and great privacy. Every inch of this home screams comfort. The beds are soft and inviting allowing guest for a peaceful nights rest. Don't forget to take a moment and sit outside under the covered porch and see the stunning sunset view. If your lucky you might just get a visit from the Host friendly cats! I highly recommend this home and am so glad I got the chance to enjoy all there is to offer!"

Christmas Cabin in Hocking Hills

8/10 Good

"First of all, the directions were OK but the sign that said Bittersweet Farm was very very difficult to see at night. It was up on a pole and was not visible due to there being no light in that area. Then when looking for the first cabin, there was no sign indicating that it was called Moose Lodge. Finding the cabin was very difficult at night. Once I found the cabin the area where I parked was very dark, and there was no walkway from the parking area to the cabin. Upon entering the cabin and checking things out, I was very disappointed that it wasn’t cleaner. The bathroom could use a good cleaning and there were bugs and dust all around the perimeter and windowsills. I’m thankful I did not need to use the window air conditioner as it appeared to be full of mold. The next morning, I packed up my things cleaned up what little trash I had and left the cabin the way the instructions stated. I did not return for the second night that I had originally booked."
