This is a beautiful area, and a lovely cottage. We ended up arriving a little late, but the host was very accommodating. Everything we needed was available. Towels, linens, pots & pans.

LAUREL RUN IN HOCKING HILLS

The property looks like someone's personal home and was equipped as such. The inside was kept up well which made our stay feel like we were home away from home.

It was great to have a respite from city noise; there was more than enough A/C capacity to keep the house chill inside. A great large backyard surrounded by trees. Nice place.

Loved the fire pit and the hot tub. The hot tub wasn’t very hot though. It was set at 93 or four and we weren’t allowed to turn it up. The place was fairly clean, except the window blinds needed a good cleaning. We had a great time.

Very cozy farm house

The only issue we had was the hot tub was not hot the first night and the lights don't work in it so it was pretty dark, which was ok because the stars are amazing.

Weekend family getaway

The house was clean and very spacious. It was equipped with everything we needed. Great location… close enough to everything we wanted to do. We needed a late arrival on a Friday night which was not an issue at all. Communication with the owners was excellent. When we are back in the area we will definitely be booking the same house or at least something from the same owners.

Christmas stay

The Laurel Run Farmhouse was a great place for our family Christmas. It was so sweet that the house was decorated for the holidays and the Christmas tree was a wonderful touch. It was a good location and we explored the area including Athens, Nelsonville, Cedar Falls, Ash Cave and Old Man Cave. The house was cozy and had great kitchen and ample space for everyone to hang out We enjoyed the hot tub too. Thanks for making a memorable holiday for us at Hocking Hills!

Nice Basic Rental House

House was older and did show its age in a few different ways. But provided us with everything needed for a quick family trip. Pretty quiet in the house and around even with traffic coming by on the road. Perfect house for an inexpensive no frills relaxing trip.

The property was great, unfortunately after a long day of hiking the hot tub didn’t work. Had the hot tub been in working order it would have been perfect.

Fit Our Needs for the Weekend

The house was fine, in a good location, close to parks, fishing, outdoor activities. This house is a little worn, but clean and comfortable. There were a issues with the hot tub not being clean and maintained, and there were wasps and hornets nesting it.
