We had a fantastic weekend at this cabin over OU’s Dads’ Weekend. The cabin was very clean, and the hosts go out of their way to make sure the cabin is stocked with everything you need for your stay. The property is secluded and private. We enjoyed the trails, fire pit, decks, and game room. While it was just 2 of us, there would have been more than enough room for our family of 5.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Everything you would need was provided, over and above any place we've ever stayed. The nature was amazing. A bird watcher's paradise! The beds are comfortable, and the decor is centered around the name of the cabin, Chubby Frog, and is rightly named for the charming pond where frogs hang out. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay at the cabin. The little extras like the snacks and walkie talkies were that little bit that made the stay all the more worthwhile. The location felt a little remote, but it was nice to be away from the hub bub and the stars were spectacular to see. And the hottub was invaluable after long days of hiking. The only thing I would say is that it was a little smaller than the pictures made it seem. With 5 people we still managed alright. Vicki's instructions ahead of time and all the info at the cabin show they take pride in their rental and making sure their guests have what they need.

Great secluded cabin

Vicki is a great host, and Chubby Frog Cabin is awesome! We loved the privacy and the cleanliness of the cabin. We really appreciated the extras that Vicki provides, from snacks and games to plenty of towels and soaps, etc. We will definitely stay at Chubby Frog Cabin if we visit Hocking Hills again!

Get away from it all!

Chubby Frog has just about anything one could want! We stayed with 6 adults but the cabin was stocked for all ages. The hosts think of absolutley everything from bug spray to marshmellows. Its remote, quiet, and private. Huge highlight is all the wildlife. We will be back again.

Family get away

We enjoyed a long weekend at the Chubby Frog Cabin. Communication with the hosts was quick and easy. They shared detailed directions for arrival and information about their property. The kitchen was well stocked. We were able to cook and prepare meals with ease. Location is great. We hiked every day and visited the local wineries. Thank you!!

Perfect secluded cabin

We enjoyed our stay at the Chubby Frog cabin very much. The cabin was well stocked and clean and had everything you could think of for a great family weekend...games and puzzles, binoculars and bird guides, walkie talkies, campfire supplies (including s'more ingredients!), bug spray, towels, recommendations for where to go and what to do in the area including maps, detailed information about every aspect of the cabin amd the area, etc. ...and the hosts could not have been more helpful when we had an issue with one of our cars right before leaving. I highly recommend this gem of a place!

Stayed for a long weekend and this property was perfect. Good location, not far from the State Park, but secluded enough for a relaxing cabin experience.Everything was clean, well maintained, and functional.

We stayed at the Chubby Frog Cabin for 5 days and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The location is perfect—peaceful, scenic, and surrounded by nature. We saw plenty of wildlife during our stay, which made the trip even more special.The cabin itself was spotless and well-stocked with everything we needed. It’s clear that the owners take great care to make sure guests are comfortable. Speaking of the owners—they were amazing. There was an unexpected issue with the WiFi (not their fault), and they went above and beyond by coming out that same evening with a hotspot. This was a huge help since my wife is a grad student and had assignments due.Communication throughout was excellent. The owners were incredibly responsive and made us feel well taken care of from start to finish.Highly recommend the Chubby Frog Cabin—we’d definitely stay here again
