We stayed here for the benefit of having a fun cabin experience as well as being able to explore Hocking Hills. The listing said it included a pool. We were told upon check in that the pool had been out if service for weeks before our stay and no one notified us. The pool is also not in the property.
The hot tub leaks and was half empty by the third day of our stay. You could see it leaking from under the deck that it say on. The dirt under the deck was soaked and there was black mold. Around the base of the entire hot tub was green algae. The bottom of the hit rub was slimy as well. We contacted the management of the property and they refused to offer a partial refund. We did not get what we were promised/paid for. They tried to tell us that the price for the stay was already discounted due to the
Pool closure, however, this was not started anywhere in the listing. So the high price we agreed to pay should have included a pool and a properly working hot tub.
Please also be aware that the picture of lake access is a 10 min drive from the cabin. It is not on the property. The listing also mentioned a large field to play games/run/play.... There was no such place.
The cabin is near the road, so please be aware that you will hear road traffic while relaxing on the porch.
The poison ivy around the cabin is very prolific. Be aware with small children.
The cabin had a very strong musty/smokey smell. Part of the smell seemed like cigarette smoke.
The neighboring cabin had a gas grill and we had a charcoal grill. That was frustrating.
The doors of the cabin open awkwardly, making it somewhat hard to enter certain rooms or be productive in those rooms, especially the entrance that leads into the very small kitchen (which has no counter space, if you plan to do a lot of cooking, it will be a challenge). The kitchen also did not have a dishwasher, which would have been nice.
There were black hairs on the sheets of the downstairs bed.
Needed more toilet paper for a weeks stay than what was provided for a family of four. Thankfully we brought extra.
Overall, we didn't spend as much time in the cabin that we felt we paid a decent price for. We had hoped to spend more down time there, but spent time elsewhere due to the fact that many things that we thought would be included or working properly were not. The fact that management would not give at least a partial refund, due to these issues, was extremely disappointing and frustrating.
