Quaint Weekend Getaway

The property was well represented by it's listing. Very beautiful & private. Staff was very friendly in our limited interactions, there was a gentleman spreading salt on the icy road while I was walking our dog and he made sure to alert me to the fact that the salt was not pet friendly and to be careful with our dog's paws.The cabin itself was very quaint and cozy. The fireplace was great for both warmth and ambiance, and the dog loved laying in front of it. The hot tub was nice & clean and private. Would highly recommend for those looking for a nice getaway.

We had a great time! The only thing would be that the bed was a bit springy, but it was sufficient for the night.

Lovely, quaint cabin

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was very comfortable, and the hot tub was lovely. It was very quiet, and the location was great if you are looking to really be out in the woods. It was about a 35 minute drive to Cedar Falls, which isn't bad at all. The only thing I would say is to bring an extra blanket, because there is only one provided and it isn't super warm.

Avenwood

Nice little cabin, overall good, everything was functional. The only comlaint is the mattress on the bed was probably manufactured sometime around the beggining of the jurrasic era. Made sleep all but impossible. Two people roll to the center and sink. Other than that all was good.

The hot tub gave us some issues where we had to google how to get warm water. There needs to be a sign listed above it how to fix it. A dimmer chandiler would be nice im the bedroom and not white light. It would be nice to have a notebook for notes. Therpappsmdnpapers

Most Uncomfortable

Location was just what we were looking for. However, gravel would be nice at least where cars park. The cabin was clean. More towels would have been nice in the bathroom. Shower had good pressure. There was futon to sit on which sits low. It showed in the picture at least a leather loveseat. Very uncomfortable and the bench in front was good for stubbing toes. The hot tub wasn’t clean and had mold and mildew around the padding and we couldn’t even use. Upon reading past reviews there has been an outcry for the mattress to be replaced! I’ve never had to climb uphill to get to my side of the bed and haven’t slept on springs in 30 years! Amazon has affordable mattresses and they’re pretty comfortable. Location is great for quiet and solitude, but the second most uncomfortable cabin we’ve experienced since using VRBO for 20 years.

Beautiful little spot

Check in was easy. The place was clean and super cute. Communication with the host was easy and they were accommodating. Hot tub was amazing after a long day of hiking. The only negative I’ll post about is the small couch in front of the tv wasn’t very comfortable and the bed needed an extra blanket for comfort. Other than that, we loved it and would stay there again. Note: a lot of people mentioned it was hard to locate the Colonel sign. We had no issues and the two signs were huge, so hard to miss. The junkyard is a little off putting but it wasn’t really near the colonel park. We seen a few people working on cars, they waved and then went about their business.

Settlers roost

The cabin we rented was the furthest one back on the property which provided some nice privacy. After hiking all day at hocking hills we enjoyed an evening in the hot tub. The cabin was clean. Linens and towels were provided. The hot tub was great and the back porch was nice to sit on and secluded. It was a short stay so we never used the grill or fire pit but wood and lighter fluid were stocked in the cabin for a reasonable fee. We ate before we arrived but it looks as though they have everything you need if you want to cook yourself, all you have to do is show up! The pictures on VRBO are an accurate description of the cabin. I think the couch was different but otherwise what you see on VRBO is what you’re getting. Mattress is due to be updated. If you’re not from the area, expect to drive 30 minutes if you want to get to the popular hiking spots. There are trails in the national forest nearby but they aren’t the ones of southern ohio people travel from all over to see. 5/5 stars, would book again

It's everything I thought we were getting, except two major items for a relaxing weekend.

So, this doesn't sound like a negative review, the cabin and area once past the salvage yard were perfect with a couple pertinent issues: 1) The bed isn't sleepable. I didn't read the reviews which was my fault, but I also don't technically believe most reviews, however this was awful for someone with lumbar and cervical disc issues. As much as the hot tub/back porch, quaint living room has to offer I physcially wouldn't be able to stay there again which is disappointing. 2) The loveseat was nice, and perfect for two people, but was different from photo and not an option to sleep if, say, the bed isn't sleepable. 3) We pictured a different grill, but that one was on me. Just picture something different....................................For what we needed the cabin's location, ambience and general areas were perfect. We just hope you'd change out that mattress so we can return again next year, etc. I know not all folks have permanent back issues like myself, but the first thing folks want after hiking all day at Hocking Hills is the ability to get a good nights sleep. To finish, thank you very much for having us. We hope we left it up to your standards. We messaged about leaving lenins and trash in a certain manner, but didn't get a reply before leaving at 9:30. The rental fit our needs and accomplished our goals for a short weekend away. Thank you again. The folks in and around Logan and Hocking Hills were fantastic as well!

Settlers Roost at Colonel Quarters

Communications with the host and Maintenance man were terrible. It was like pulling teeth to get very basic information - from the time we made the reservation until we got locked out of the cabin and the push button code did not work. For this last incident, we initially tried to call the maintenance man (after driving 10 miles to get cell service). He never answered his phone after nearly a half dozen calls. Not did he have a voicemail box setup to leave him a message. After finally being able to email the host, he just said “there’s a key in a magnetic box”. But never told us where the box even was or which lock it opened until more emails were sent. When we made the reservation - no where was it stated what we needed to bring or if we could go straight to the cabin or if we needed to go somewhere else to check in. Horrible customer service. The cabin itself was all we expected!
