We are soo glad you noticed the birds.
We are avid birders so every year we try to add a new food or feeder to bring them back. Lat year we added a bluebird trail and it worked !
Thanks for choosing Chubby Frog Cabin!!

This cabin remains one of our favorite places to visit. The hosts are incredible and take excellent care of the cabin & property.There are toys & activities for the kids to entertain themselves. Cabinets with snacks and pantry staples. Every time we come here I am blown away by the hospitality.The property has excellent hiking and is just a short drive from many Hocking Hills trails.We have visited in all seasons and each trip has been fantastic. This latest trip was just as the frosty winter weather was thawing out, but there was still snow on the ground. The state park trails had been packed down to sheets of ice, but the property trails were untouched powdery snow. The streams were roaring with snow melt and ice still clung to the cliffs.The entire family is already thinking about the next trip.
Cabin was exactly as described. Appreciated having the wood provided for us to relax around the fire. The hosts went above and beyond. Would highly recommend

Staying here was easy and fun- we wanted a nice place to stay for a long weekend away and we really hit it out of the park with the Chubby Frog! The cabin is well-stocked and there were plenty of beds and bathrooms for our family of four. I would definitely stay here again!

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 had an amazing time at the cabin. The cabin was gorgeous - spacious, spotless and tons of amenities and goodies! Vicki and Steve are exceptional hosts and promptly answered any questions we had. It was a great place to enjoy a family getaway!

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!

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.

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!!

Hi Jen!
So glad you got your hiking in. Thank you for the kind review, would love to have you back again!

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.
