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!

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!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was clean and welcoming. The Vicki was a wonderful host and very easy to reach. The cabin was well stocked, they thought of everything a guest could need. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t super great while we were there but the amenities in the cabin made staying inside just as fun. We will stay here again!

Book this cabin now! Just do it. Trust me - we just had an amazing stay!

We had an amazing week at the Chubby Frog cabin! A huge bowl of Hostess/Little Debbie treats greeted us as soon as we walked in the front door!! The owners had thought of everything we could possibly need and more! We really enjoyed getting to see all of the wildlife on a daily basis, and you can't beat the proximity to Ash Cave, Old Man's Cave, Conkle's Hollow, and Cedar Falls! This place is a little slice of heaven!

Chubby Frog Cabin

If you like wildlife and getting away from the city this is your place. We saw deer, turkey, raccoons, squirrels, and all kind of birds. We hiked and ziplined and thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub at the end of the day. Steve and Vicki have anticipated your needs to make your stay a great one. The cabin is great, and has something for all ages.

Wonderful getaway!

My husband and 2 children had a wonderful weekend at the Chubby Frog. The surroundings are wonderful for hiking and exploring. It’s great to be able to hike right out of the back door. The owner Vicki was great! She was very informative and helpful, quick to respond. The house was stocked with everything we needed: games, snacks, drinks, blankets. Just wonderful!

Home away from home

Vicki and Steve have the most beautiful cabin! We enjoyed our stay so much. Waking up and seeing the birds eating from the feeder was so nice! The hot tub was wonderful. The kids really loved having such an open space to play. My husband and I enjoyed the fire pit and hearing animals we don't get to hear in the city. The Chubby frog is a well loved cabin and we hope to return in the future. If you are looking for a place that brings you serenity and rest for you soul you will find it here!

Great Experience

Owners were very helpful throughout the whole process. The house was clean, and had everything you would need to stay for a few days. We will be staying again next time in the area. Owners responded within a few minutes of every message. The house lost power about an hour before we got there, and owner called to keep me updated, then called back when the power was restored. Highly Recommend!

Total serenity!

It was gorgeous! Totally secluded cabin. Magnificent location. The property itself was tastefully designed and sparkling clean. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. She was very on top of everything. They thought of everything! From games for kids, to smores supplies, to food to feed the wildlife there. The natural surroundings were spectacular - we only wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommended.

Charming Private Cabin

We had a great stay at the Chubby Frog Cabin near Hocking Hills. The owners created a great getaway in the woods with amenities like S’mores ingredients, first aid, bug spray, flash lights, hot tub and fire pit. Have fun feeding the wildlife, hiking nearby in the state park or at the private Bison Hollow that you get access to as a guest at the Chubby Frog. Enjoy a hot tub or relax in the deck listening to the humming birds. Our kids loved the pool and air hockey tables, too. A great place to relax for a long weekend and the owners provided great directions and info on the area. Highly recommend.

I wish I could give chubby frog 6 stars!!

We had an amazing time at Chubby Frog. Everything was clean and comfortable and exactly as described, but there was so much more. The extra touches were great- activities and toys for the kids, binoculars for watching the wildlife, chairs set in the perfect spot for watching the sunset, the fire pit ready to go with a pre-made fire. The hosts literally thought of everything! The private hiking in Bison Hollow is amazing! We felt like we had our own private state park. I can’t recommend this cabin highly enough. We can’t wait to come back.

The cabin was clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need and then some!! The owners have truly thought of everything.

Amazing

This was an amazing place to stay. We had a family of 6 for a 3 night stay. We had a great time, the youngest in our family was 4 years old and there where so many things for the kids and the 4 year old to do. The owner was on it. Every question was answered in a short time. The place had everything we needed down to the smallest details. I was amazed on how accommodating the place was. We over packed because we didn't know what to expect. I can't say enough good things about the place, and it's owner.
