We really enjoyed our stay for our anniversary. It is a very cozy place to stay and pretty much all we needed as far as dishes, etc was there. Would highly recommend. I would just warn anyone who would want to stay that cell service is pretty scarce throughout the whole region, but that doesn't reflect on the cabin or the owner at all. Just something to be aware of. Great place to stay!

Had a great time staying here and would stay again in the future. Has all the amenities you want out of a cabin with close access to essentials if necessary. Please take note: as far as cell service goes, calls and texts work fine but data does not until you get back to town, so plan accordingly.

The cabin was beautiful. It was very peaceful and the hot tub was great for soaking after hikes. I took away a star for overall experience because the water in the cabin had a rotten egg smell to it.

Great Weekend Getaway

The property was perfect for a weekend get away. It is close to Hocking Hills State Park and the winery and Stellas Mercantile down the road were great additions.

Quiet and serene

Enjoyed a full day of hiking, it was wonderful to come back to our little cabin in the woods.Only one negative, THE BED, needs a new mattress and thankfully we brought our own pillows because the pillows there were pancake thin.

Weekend anniversary trip

The cabin was perfect! We loved how it was back off the road and not surrounded by other cabins! Was very clean and cozy, we will most certainly return in the future!

Nice clean secluded cabin. Had this cabin for 5 days. It was nice to disconnect from everything. We were there during some storms and the electric went in and out the first two days but it didn’t bother us as no one can control the weather. We did cut it a day short as we had an emergency with the dogs at home. Again no one’s fault. If we get the opportunity we would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful and secluded

The cabin is perfectly located on a qiet road in the middle of a large wooded area. It is not visible from the road and provides perfect privacy.There is no Wifi as described, but plenty of maps and brochures. It doesn't have a map that shows where exactly the cabin is located, so make sure to download your Google maps locally on your phone for easy navigation in or out.I gave four stars instead of five because the AC unit wasn"t blowing cold air, and it was 96 degrees outside.
