At Chestnut Retreats we couldn't imagine life without our furry family. Thats why The Chestnut welcomes quiet, non-aggressive canine companions when arrangements are made at the time of reservation. The Chestnut limits the number of dogs to no more than two and size of your dog to no more than 75 lbs. All dog guests must be completely free of fleas and ticks, be well groomed and up to date on shots and vaccinations. Advance dog reservations are required since The Chestnut must plan in advance for a pet visit. Please see our pet policy and house rules for complete details and requirements.

Hocking Hills Bday Trip
We loved the location. The house was great. The path to the lake was serene & beautiful w my morning coffee. The king & queen bad were extremely soft to the point that it hurt to sleep in them. Only one set of jets worked in the hot tub. Overall it was a great stay & convenient. I’d stay again if they got a couple new mattresses.

A beautiful scenic place.
The house was very clean. Was such a nice view of the lake. We enjoyed being able to walk down to the water. A great house for a Hocking Hills vacation.

Great weekend getaway
Property was well-appointed. Road and driveway were somewhat difficult to maneuver . Warning of "4 wheel drive required" was no joke!

Great little GetAway!
We had an amazing stay! We had 6 adults and our dog Cormac and we all had a blast. The owners were very friendly and helpful when an issue arose. The house was clean and beautiful. We went fishing several times off the private dock and down by the banks and caught plenty of fish and a turtle and a frog! The hot tub was clean and worked well. We would definitely recommend The Chestnut for your next family vacation!

Weekend getaway
It was very clean and well stocked with everything! The electric did go out for awhile! ( 8 hrs all together) Which made the water, our cell phones and the landline not work! There’s not much you can do about it though! More flashlights would have been nice! I had to take the batteries out of the tv remote to put in one! We did have a couple in our cars! We made it work! All in all it was a great and enjoyable stay!

The DRIVEWAY is no joke!!!
We had a great stay and enjoyed the peacefulness. We brought lots of food and games and enjoyed our own OU Moms Weekend out of all the crowds and bustle of the city. The DRIVEWAY is no joke when they say 4x4 or AWD is REQUIRED in ALL SEASONS!!! We actually had one car get stuck at the bottom of the driveway and we had to ask a neighbor with a truck and tow straps to help us get the last car up the driveway. The incline and gravel made it impossible for the car to get up on their own.

Great Stay
My son and I wanted a weekend getaway for spring break. The Chestnut is a great location for the attractions Hocking Hills has to offer. Communication prior to our arrival was awesome! The owners provided detailed information on popular recreational activities and places to dine. The house has all the needed amenities and a relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely return!
