Phenomenal cabin leading to an equally phenomenal weekend.

We spent four days at Settlers Lodge and cannot speak highly enough of the experience. Things were very clean and spacious. The lodge is well stocked and has a great open floor plan. Our family plays in a dart league together so the dart board in the basement definitely got some use. It was a nice inclusion to the lodge. One item to note though, the driveway leading up to the cabin is somewhat steep and in inclement weather would likely require AWD or 4WD to make it up to the lodge. This is true of most of hocking hills so it is something to keep in mind when planning a trip here. Overall great location for a great family trip.

Holiday Escape

Absolutely wonderful stay. The house is exactly as described. The kitchen is stocked way better than most properties. Having two washer and two dryers is a nice plus. The hot tub was delightful. They even allow you to use their firewood (even though we had brought plenty of our own). Having stayed in several rental properties and being rental home owners of our own, this house is fantastic.

Perfect Fall vacation!

I got to check an item off my bucket list and that was to rent a cabin in the woods with my family. Camp fires, game playing, peace, love, good food and making memories. The property had everything that we needed and did not disappoint!

Fall trip with friends and family

This is the second year we have stayed at Settlers lodge and once again it was a great time. We encountered a snafu with the septic tank, yet the owners were incredibly responsive and had it resolved within an hour! Love this spot and would stay again!

First family vacation

When I first started planning our weekend i was worried that i wouldnt be able to find a cabin that could meet our "wants and needs" list but when i found Settler's Lodge it was perfect!!! Im always a little worried that the online pics won't represent the actual location but this one did to a tee. It was exactly as posted and as it showed in all of the pictures. Ive stayed at other cabins that claim to have fully stocked kitchens and got there to find it was not but that is not the case here. The hosts literally have thought of everything And some. It was a home away from home. The only negative from our stay was how hot it was that weekend but everything else was absolutely perfect and exceeded our expectations. I would definitely recommend the Settler's Lodge for your next family or friends getaway. You will not be disapponited.

Everything we needed

The home was clean, spacious, well maintained, and private. The hot tub and 90-inch shuffle board were a big hit. The kitchen was well equipped, except for a malfunctioning ice maker. Bedrooms were nice, though the mattress in the lower level had seen better days. The boys loved the bunk beds. We would return!

friend group get away

The property is as listed and is absolutely perfect for families/friends interested in a weekend in the woods. we had a 1, 2 and 3 year old as well as 9 adults and 3 dogs. we all fit perfectly and there were plenty of activities/space for everyone. I would caution that if you plan to book this cabin to BRING EVERYTHING. this includes essentials like toilet paper. youre about 40 minutes from the closest grocery store and this proved to be extremely inconvient for our group. this is not in the listing. the other thing of caution is the water. it leaves a slimey residue that feels like you still have soap on. we used bottled water for cooking/drinking. About half our group otped to not shower due to the residue left by the water. Not sure if its d/t a well or some filtration chemicals but left us all a bit uneasy.

Perfect get-away with all the amenities

Great property, nicely secluded, quiet & peaceful. Nice updated features throughout the home, comfortable beds, plenty of hot water, ample space for a group of 12 to congregate in the dining, living room and outside backyard area! The owners were responsive and answered questions sent through the app prior to our stay. They responded quickly to help us work through an issue at check-in. Would definitely stay here again.

The house is in a great location and to say it’s beautiful is an understatement! The layout of the house is perfect and it’s HUGE! We really enjoyed the house & all of its amenities. The proximity to the trails was perfect!

We LOVED this property. They have thought of everything to make it a welcome and homey stay. It was perfect for families with games and lots of seating for meals! Everything was clean and well organized. Gorgeous location, not far from Old Man’s Cave for hiking. Plenty of space and activities to stay at the house the entire time and never get bored. We had a great time! Bonus points that dogs are welcome !!! We will definitely be back.

The pictures don't lie, IT'S AWESOME

First off most light switches have dimmers... i didn't figure that out to the last night. Ok. It's beautiful and very spacious just like the photos show. We had 10 people and plenty of space! Deck was awesome! Grill was very clean, so we left it that way as well! Outdoor set up is very nice. Basement bathroom is big and shower is small. But does the job. Sleeping downstairs was great expect you hear everything above. So just turn up the tv! Lol.. BEST CABIN WE HAVE STAYED IN YET! the driveway sucks. Lol but they tell ya that before hand in the pics. If your experienced bikers. You'll have no problem with the driveway.. owners was very cool! Went above and beyond! All and all great cabin, super nice people to deal with! Gps took me to exactly the correct address as cabin. Wifi is good! Will stay again for sure!

Kid-friendly Getaway

We had 3 couples and 5 kids in our group and this cabin was perfect. Bunk beds and the nearby room worked well as the kids level. Kitchen was fairly well stocked with equipment but be warned that there are not much spices beyond salt & pepper and there are no shampoo/conditioner. On the plus side, they have coffee maker, lighter, smores sticks. Overall, it was an easy place to stay and we had a great time.
