About this property
Large, Open Sunset Cabin in Star of Hocking Hills
The Sunset Cabin is a beautiful 4-Bedroom Cabin with 2 full bathrooms, luxury kitchen sits on 7 acres overlooking lush fields with beautiful Sunsets off large back porch. Only 5 miles from Nelsonville and short drive to Hocking Hills. Hot Tub and WIFI
Upon arrival guests will be welcomed to a charming front porch, where our guests can relax outside after a day of exploring the state parks. You will walk into the Sunset Cabin to a beautifully remodeled space with knotty pined walls, hickory kitchen cabinets, and two comfortable living spaces.
The entire cabin has been completely remodeled to make our guests feel like they are at a home away from home. There is a fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar that gives you the ability to cook delicious, home-made meals throughout your stay. Just located off the living room is a beautiful master suite with a luxurious master bath with a large, romantic soaking tub and a double vanity sink. Take a relaxing bath after exploring state parks and partaking in outdoor activities.
There are four additional spacious bedrooms where our guests can enjoy maximum comfortability in the Queen-sized beds. The second living room offers a great space to cozy up next to the electric fireplace with your loved ones while watching a movie marathon. One of the best features of the cabin are the two back decks, excellent for outdoor entertainment. You and your guests can grill juicy hamburgers or steaks over the grill.
Sit back and relax in the hot tub or the pool to enjoy beautiful sunsets and get lost in the wide-open starry night sky. Spend time around the outdoor firepit sitting around a crackling warm fire sharing memories, laughing over drinks, and roasting marshmallows. Make sure you take advantage of the picturesque views of the sunsets over the rolling hills, the beautiful fall foliage, and the gorgeous starry skies because these are views that you don’t see every day.

Big house with lots of space. The hot tub was great after a long day of hiking. The staff were very friendly and helpful as well.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your stay at our Sunset Cabin! We are glad to hear that you got to enjoy the local forests and relax in the hot tub. We hope to host you again soon!
A good value for the area. We enjoyed staying in the house and found it to be spacious and clean. The setting was peaceful. We had an issue with the hot tub not warming up, but the host sent a maintenance person out to fix the issue. The beds were disappointing - not very comfortable and the pillows were very flat. Other than that we really liked staying here.

The cabin was great! It was cleaned and had everything we needed. Our only downfall was the hot tub didn’t work when we arrived which was one of the reasons for choosing this cabin. We weren’t actually able to use it until day 3 and we left the next day, so it pay for a cabin with a hot tub to only to available for one was a disappointment to say the least.
We stayed at Sunset Cabin for four days. When we arrived the cabin smelled fresh and looked very clean. What a unit! Five bedrooms and SEVEN TVs! Also an unusually well stocked kitchen with an abundance of dishes, silverware and cookware Two bathrooms means almost always one available. Outside there’s plenty of green grass, however not much of it is flat and level. Also outside there are TWO decks, a large pool, a hot tub,a propane grill and, just down the hill, a fire ring and benches.Overall a comfortable, nicely decorated cabin with lots to do indoors and outdoors I would recommend this cabin to anyone, especially if you’re traveling with some friends.

We had a wonderful family fall weekend with our adult children at this Nelsonville gem. We enjoyed hiking, horseback riding, numerous lawn games and a dinner at a lovely restaurant in town staffed by Hocking College students. The 5 bedrooms worked well for our large family and pets were allowed so the family dogs could join in the fun. We will definitely return to this destination next year.

This cabin is well-situated for day trips to many locations in Hocking Hills and other parks. The many bedrooms, all with large beds, could sleep 10 people. The living and sitting areas are comfortable. The pool, hot tub and outdoor grill work well. The only negative was the too-worn condition of the upholstery and broken recliners.

Nice location. Pool is wonderful. Good wi-fi/cable. Hot tub and deck with grill and nice seating. Good kitchen set up and 2 living areas to hang in. 2 bathrooms good for 4 people - may be a challenge for more than 8 people since 1 bathroom is only accessible going throught the master bedroom. Nice firepit area but we did not use during our stay.

We enjoyed our stay. There was enough beds for everyone, the pool was great. We didn’t use the hot tub. The only negative thing to say is that with this house sleeping 12 there is only 2 bathrooms and 1 of which you only had access to by walking completely through the master bedroom. If there was a 3rd bathroom or even just a half bath would be a great improvement!

We came to the area for a motorcycle riding vacation with a total of 5 couples. Here are the pros and cons of the rental house. Pros: Location was awesome, nice open layout for group activities, decks, hot tub and of course the new pool was wonderful. Plus with temps in the 90's the A/C worked like a charm. Cons: The house really needs a 3rd bathroom. With 10 people and only 2 bathrooms, one of which was in the master bedroom it got a little hectic. Not the fanciest of places to be sure. Lastly, and this is more a personal note, the bedrooms could really use ceiling fans. Overall very worth the rental, all of our friends enjoyed their stay.

Good Enough
This property was goof enough for our party of 10 but somethings could be improved.
1) The check-in process was a bit of a pain. You have to pick a single key up from a remote location that was about 15mins out of the way for us. And then also return the key. That equals an extra hour of time. Plus there is only 1 key for our group of 10 which makes splitting up on outings to Hocking Hills an issue. I would recommend a key pad entry like most rentals use.
2) the hot tub would not get hot. Its more like a luke warm tub. We specifically chose a house with a hot tub so this was a bit disappoint for our group.
3) the house just isn't set up well for bigger groups. The second bathroom can only be reached by going through one of the bedrooms. The toaster only holds two slices at a time. We had to buy our own additional toilet paper and paper towel because what was provided ran out. For 5 bedrooms I excpected it to be a little better stocked.
Overall though it met our needs and we had a great weekend. But it was just good enough and nothing spectacular.

Hello. We are saddened to hear that you did not have as enjoyable as a stay at the cabin as you would have wished. We strive to provide great experiences for our guests. We do appreciate your feedback as we will work on improving the mentioned items for future guests!
Clean, kids liked pool, but cabin had major septic failure. For 24 hrs, unable to flush toilets, use tubs/showers because sewage had backed up into them! We were expected to use toilets but not flush! Many went outside in the woods. Crew couldn't snake out line cuz there was no clean-out; had to open sewer line & install one. NO WAY that was code! (Danielle, Brad/crew were very nice!) We lost entire day of vacation! Should have been relocated to alt. facility or compensated for this deplorable situation. Prop. mgr. said all she would do was refund $245. Shameful & unacceptable! Other issues: Porch had many loose boards/felt dangerous. Door didn't close tightly. Several beds sloped uncomfortably to middle. Trundle broken. Not enough blankets; just sheets, spreads, throws. Fridge door missing all shelves but the 2. Due to neg. reviews re: hot tub, we contacted property beforehand. Were assured it worked great, but it didn't. Bad jets, sand on bottom, cloudy water & lukewarm, never @ standard temp/104 deg. probably due to dilapidated cover. NO WAY deck was built to code for supporting its weight. Structural carrier beams were severely sagging. Outdoor trashcans were small, flimsy, lids couldn't be secured, so dogs got into them; A Mess! Called re: huge in-ground bee nest by pool; major concern due to severe allergies. They came & treated it; smelled like gasoline. Firepit looked nice, but w/ septic issue, we did NOT go down there! Very disappointing experience!

I am sorry to hear your stay was not as you expected. These issues have been since handled and we hope that this does not deter your return to the Hocking Hills area. 1st Choice Lodging
The place was just ok. There are a lot of common sense things that could easily be updated that would go a long way, along with some major things that need updates. Also noting some things I would be prepared to buy instead of assuming they are provided:Major:-No pool gate on attached deck, so be mindful of children/pets-Hot tub had a slow leak, which meant it wasnt full while there. The deck supporting the hot tub is also very degraded, with the wood underneath clearly bowing along with vegetation growing out of the wood etc. -Front deck is falling apart, with one step breaking while there and the whole thing bows under your weightMinor:-Pool had no skimmer provided, despite lots of bugs as assumed. We bought one-Pool had absolutely zero lighting from house or anything on deck. We had to buy tiki torches-No shade on any of the back deck or pool area, making the areas hard to use on a hot summer day-No bath/shower supplies provided -Lots of wasps on the property, especially around front deck and pool, bring fogs/sprays etc.-Loose shower knobs that made it hard to control, even after tightening-Even with lights on in back, stairs are hard to see at night. Some solar powered lights would do this property wonders-Most closets have no way to hang anything-Grill needed a deep clean and still didnt work great-Vent above oven can get some condensation, which drips-Front door needs repair, no deadboltPlace wasnt unusable, but can clearly tell it needs some love.
Nice comfy house, plenty of room. Pool is great, and the A/C blows cold! Gas grill needs work though, only the front 1/2 Of the burner rows catch.
