Welcome to Clay Oaks Cabin!

** PLEASE NOTE - I no longer have access to a laundry service that is able to take care of providing clean towels and linens. Please understand that I would like to provide this service, but I am unable to. Thus, you’ll need to plan on bringing your own. I do apologize for this.

*** Please read this entire description before booking, and feel free to ask me any questions you might have! ***

I have had some recent complaints regarding a few items so please read the following info prior to booking. Your booking this cabin acknowledges that you have read and understand the information contained in this ad.

This RUSTIC cabin is located in a wooded and grassy area. There are bugs and there are spiders and there are other furry critters in the area. The cabin is typically cleaned on a Monday after folks check out. The cleaning service has an hour round trip travel time, so it is likely it won’t be “freshened up” immediately prior to your arrival if you come later in the week. Please expect there to be a sign of activity of these bugs and spiders and other pests in this natural wooded area.

The lawn service might not always be able to mow or trim weeds directly prior to your arrival. Many factors such as rain, wooded property access, and land topology play into this. This is not a metropolitan or town location. If you are expecting that, understand you might be disappointed and won’t receive a refund.

Sometimes, a window might fail to lock. However, all main entry doors are secure and have locks on them. We have never had a security incident since we began cabin rentals in 2012. I have had many, many very happy customers. Many folks come back to each of my locations each and every season. However, a few have not been happy due to the items listed above. Please be sure you understand the above information before choosing to stay here.

This simple cabin is located on 5 scenic acres to allow hiking, campfires, grilling out, and just relaxing while overlooking the scenic view of the serene woods. It is located near South Bloomingville, OH, just minutes from Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Conkle's Hollow, and many other local attractions. Plates, bowls, pots, pans, utensils, coffee maker, and trash bags are included. The cabin has air conditioning, an electric furnace heater, and a large fire pit! It has a bed to sleep 2, a kitchen with cooktop plate, refrigerator, and microwave. Outside, there is a propane grill on the porch. There is also ample space for a nice campfire to roast hot dogs and S’Mores! Although the images may show a stack of firewood, please plan to bring your own as it is not provided. Also, there are other cabins located on this wooded property.

Please note: I have very good feedback at my cabins, and I pride myself in trying to make sure folks enjoy their time here. I will do my best to make sure your stay is a pleasant one. In order to achieve that, I want to make sure you are aware of a few items: At times an item within the cabin might not be functional. Items such as these will be addressed ASAP by the property managers, and I will always do my best to make sure you are notified prior to booking.

Also note: The tub might take the water heater a bit to regen to fill it with water. But it’s about the best we could do to maximize the space! There is no conventional oven in the cabin, just a double burner cook plate, sink and compact refrigerator/freezer. If you’d like to bring a crock pot along please feel free to do so; or the propane grill can be used to cook as well as the microwave oven. Please remember that the refrigerator and freezer are compact models.

The cabin packs MANY items into a small area; if you have any additional questions please feel free to ask!

Don't delay! Get out to the Hocking Hills! PLEASE

NOTE - this property is located in a rural setting with open grassy areas and woods nearby. We do our best to keep pesky rodents away but at times there could be a rodent that was just caught in a trap. We have tried poison, traps, and using nothing at all; we have landed on continuing to use mousetraps. Poison causes them to die in the most inopportune places and having no traps at all just leads to larger issues. If you happen to find a mouse in a trap we apologize - we truly are doing the best to can to make the pests disappear. Just please be prepared to place all food in sealable containers or in the refrigerator so you don’t attract them even more! In addition to small furry pests, an occasional wood roach might be wandering around a cabin. I assure you these are NOT a cock roach. Please google “wood roach”. They feed on moist damp wood. They don’t really want to be inside but they might have been carried in on firewood or wandered in looking for a mate. They don’t eat human food and they don’t want to be inside. If you find one, please either dispose of it or simply throw it outside. Thanks for your patience as you venture in to the rural wooded areas of Hocking Hills!

Wonderful family stay
We used the cabin as a base camp and were able to take day trips to surrounding attractions including the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway, AHa children’s museum & Columbus Zoo. The perfect secluded spot for our 2 & 4 year olds to explore nature, ride bikes and play in the dirt. We had a great time and the kids loved the oversized tub at bath time.

Peaceful & Quiet
We had an amazing stay. The location is perfectly secluded and peaceful. The cabin is very livable but needs some TLC. The only true complaint - the mattress is VERY uncomfortable. If they don't upgrade the quality, we would recommend taking a topper or air mattress. The frame is made from standard lumber and is loose and shaky (and we are not large people). Overall, it's a great place for the price. We would recommend taking the mattress topper, good pillows and a few over the door hooks if you want to hang anything up.

Great Little Cabin
Cabin was great value for the price. Location was perfect close to everything. The cabin was spotless and had the essentials. Communication was great with owner. Lots of privacy for a quiet getaway. Owner did an exceptional job making efficient use of the given space. If I had to make any suggestion it would be to replace mattress with better quality for comfort and maybe add a two post handrail on front step, but I have bad knees younger folk likely wouldn’t notice. Would definitely come back and definitely recommend.

It was a good stay.
Very Quaint Cabin. If you are just sleeping there it is great. They do only have 1 coffee mug 1 wine glass 3 plastic cups. They do have pots and pans and plates. We had to bring our own linens and towels . Which was fine with us. It definitely is a minimalist dream place. We liked that they had a fire pit and we cooked over the fire for dinner. They are very honest about you may see mice so you may see droppings but you are in the middle of the woods so 🤷‍♀️ . But what we needed the cabin for was perfect. We didnt have to stay in it other to sleep since we had great weather.

Good location
The location was great.. quiet and mostly secluded. The cabin was small, which I knew in advance. However the mattress was the WORST mattress I have ever slept on in my life. Husband and I got NO sleep the first night and had to buy a foam mattress topper for the second night. No shower, only a tub that didn’t hold water.. and no sink in the bathroom. Outside looked a lot more rough and overgrown than the picture. It served our purpose for the most part.. but wouldn’t choose that cabin again. Minor updating would really make this cabin amazing. Great property owner and communication. Thanks!

Not what expected!
The sink faucet almost overshot the basin. Sink is way too small, to wash any dish, or even brush one's teeth; being the only one in the unit. Not even a sink in the bath area. No mirror in bath, except for a real low one by the tub. The floors were unswept; we swept a pile out before moving in. The weeds outside close to the cabin were uncut, not like the picture. There was no couch or easy chair in the place, but two cheap metal folding chairs. There were no clothes hanging area, or even hooks for our garmets. The main window blind was not wide enough to cover the glass. Changing numerous times, it felt like we were exposed. We came here for a wedding. With noplace to hang our duds, no usable mirrors for makeup, no comfortable place to sit, no privacy, was discouraging. Having to supply our own bedding, towels, and cleanup, the price was too high.

Not what we expected for the price.
While we expected a rustic experience, we were disappointed with the lack of care taken to make the property what we know it could be. There were a number of cabins on the property and most were not labeled (including ours), so it was difficult to find. A can of cigarette butts welcomed us at the front door, which was covered in wasp mud. We quickly covered up the multiple stained bed cover with our own bedding. We pulled up the paint-splattered folding chairs to the tiny table for supper, then took extra time taking all the cinder blocks out of the fire pit that had been piled up (why?) since we wanted a fire. The AC was covered in dirt, and the inside of the toilet hadn't been cleaned. There is a gap under the door large enough to allow small critters and cold breezes inside. Positives: internet worked great, AC was nice and cold, and there's a fabulous winery just down the road. Maybe our standards are too high, but when you pay that much per night (don't forget the taxes and fees!), I expected better. This could have been a cool place and still can be if more care is taken for the property.

Missed the mark.
My husband and I checked in after 8pm following a 9 hour drive and the cabin had not been cleaned. The toilet had lint/hair/poop spatter in the bowl and either urine or some other bodily fluid on the inside of the lid. The tub had hairs in it. God knows what else - so we Lysol sprayed everything and sat in our car for 10 mins for the fumes to subside before I checked in. The mattress was paper thin with springs digging into our backs. I reached out to the listing agent who said he was sorry to hear about the condition of the cabin. Funny thing is that we had to bring our own linens “due to COVID” and pay a cleaning fee - but the cabin was never even cleaned. Disappointed that I didn’t at least get a cleaning fee concession or something. It’s especially disappointing that this was our honeymoon trip that was postponed from January and after an exhausting drive all we wanted was a comfortable bed and clean place. On the plus side, Hocking hills was incredible, the Kindred Spirits restaurant was amazing, and it was a great trip otherwise. We will come back - but stay in a different cabin.

Rustic is fine, but needs some TLC
I appreciate the rustic nature of the property, and fully expected to see bugs, critters, etc. I grew up spending time in rustic cabins (and still do), but as a rental that others pay to use, this place could really use some TLC. Positives: 1) Location was perfect - far enough off the road to be quiet and secluded, 2) Hocking Hills region was stunning, 3) The owner provided details on how to find the cabin once you reached the property (though the turn-by-turn directions from some random spot in MI were awkward), 4) Internet and AC worked great. Negatives: 1) The mattress is terrible. You can feel each spring, and provided for the most uncomfortable sleep. Even though pillows are provided, there is nothing to them and I recommend you also bring your own in addition to the required linens. 2) The water had an awful rotten egg smell, so bad that I literally gagged when I used the tub. We ended up not bathing the entire weekend because of it. We also resorted to bottle water for brushing our teeth and freshening up. 3) One of the window blinds was about 7-8" too narrow. Although secluded, it left us feeling exposed since it was the largest window. We hung extra clothes on the blind mount to help conceal the gaps. 4) The "large fire ring" was just a bunch of busted up cinder blocks... it worked. Verdict: Some minor attention paid to this property would make it very welcoming and would prevent the same complaints from recurring. Exterior pics are not representative.
