Location location location!! Also a very accessible host! Loved being able to ride our bikes from the house to the bike trail. Also loved driving our side by side to the ATV trails. The fenced in yard was wonderful for the dogs!! We felt safe walking downtown to eat and play pool. Lastly, the house was well stocked with supplies / amenities-tv in every room, game room was very fun, soap, coffee, water bottles, etc.

Trip to Hocking Hills Area

We drove 5 hours to see the sights in Hocking Hills. Arrived at the home and had a fantastic time w/ family. Home was clean and the back yard being fenced was great for our pup. The beds were super comfy. Overall a great stay and would do it again if I were coming back to that area.

Lovely stay

The home was lovely and had lots of amenities that made our stay very relaxing. The location wasn't bad, it's an actual neighborhood but it was pretty quiet and only 20 minutes from hocking hills trails. I also greatly appreciated having a fenced in yard with two dogs.

Home was clean and well stocked. Enjoyed the hot tub and all the games (foosball, darts, board games). Fenced in yard was awesome for dogs. Would recommend trash cans underneath deck for trash disposal. Neighborhood was a little sketchy but they have made the best of situation. Home is updated and cozy!

It was a very cute house, the owners suggested a really great restaurant calling Starbrick. The hot tub was fantastic! And it was a good price for its proximity to Hocking Hills. The biggest issues were: the parking spot wasn't easy to see and the description wasn't easy to understand, especially in the dark on a narrow street. We weren't allowed to use one key cash, despite being told originally it was eligible. They suggest this pizza place in the literature but its prices listed everywhere online are inaccurate. But the biggest downside was the property has a list of chores guests are responsible for prior to check-out. Still overall it was cozy with plenty of amenities. Would enjoy staying again.

Our stay in this little cute home

Me and my family stay 3 day had minor a few issues the hot tub had a awful smell, it was hair in the hot tub.I couldn’t enjoy that part the whole reason why we book for Father’s Day was to try and let my hubby unwine and relax.The throw blankets smelled like a dog may have been in the house so we washed all the blankets that can fit in the washer and dryer that’s provided was a good thing, This was our first time getting a Airbnb will do it again but the shower water was real hot or real cold but overall experience is nice. The parking was wired in a alley in the back I’m from the city so we managed to park elsewhere because one of the neighbors kept driving up and down the alley real loud in a white pick up truck. Rachel was quick to respond to my message but we did enjoy our stay with the family.

Nice property

We really enjoyed our stay at this quaint little house! There were 4 adults, 3 children & our dog. There was plenty of room for all of us and the house was nicely furnished. The hot tub was amazing after a long day of hiking the beautiful trails. The drive to the trails was about 30 mins. from the house. Everything was pretty clean and well kept. There are a few minor critiques. The bathroom door does not really allow a lot of privacy as there is a large gap when the door is slid all the way shut and it doesn't lock. There is also a need for a few trash bins under the porch for the extra trash bags. The bedroom door in the back of house didn't lock. The toilet doesn't have the best suction power when flushing. However, overall, I would definitely recommend this property!

This house was perfect for our family vacation. She had it very toddler and child friendly including toys, crib, baby gate and a high chair. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of hiking at hocking hills. Any time I had a question she was very quick to respond.
