Welcome to Valley Ridge 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, or taking a nice soak in the relaxing hot tub! 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, toaster, and trash bags are included.

The cabin has air conditioning, an electric furnace heater, ceiling fans, wood burner, leather couch, futon, and a large fire pit! It has beds to sleep 7 (possibly 8 with children - please see below for a description of the bedding arrangement), has satellite TV in the living room (the bedroom has a TV but needs a streaming device [that you provide] plugged into its HDMI port), a stereo system with Bluetooth, full kitchen with range, refrigerator, and microwave. Outside, there is a propane grill on the front porch. There is also ample space for a nice campfire to roast hot dogs and make S'Mores!

Bedding arrangement: There are a total of 4 mattresses on which to sleep: 1 queen size bed in the bedroom (sleeps 2), 2 twin bunkbeds in one corner of the greatroom (sleeps 2), and a pullout queen size couch (sleeps 2) {Entire cabin sleeps 6 adults or 7 total if a child stays}

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:

I have been made aware at times that there are excessive spider webs in the cabin. We have tried everything to minimize this. However, I must say that the drop ceiling within the cabin does not allow for cleaning of these. It’s a textured ceiling and trying to remove the webs only results in ceiling tile surface damage. Thus, I do not mean to be blunt - but if you are offended by cobwebs please don’t book this cabin. We truly do our best to remove them but the spiders in this wooded area work quickly and we just cannot stay ahead of them. Thanks for understanding!

At times the satellite TV signal might be weak, or 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.

The cabin packs MANY items into a small area. The master bath and half bath are compact, but functional!

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!

Yearly Hunting Trip with the Guys
Just what we were looking for. Had enough space for all four of us. Really liked that it had a big yard so we could leave the enclosed trailer with all of our gear at the cabin while we hunted. Overall the cabin is exactly what we were expecting.... A rustic cabin in the woods.

Great getaway
What a great little retreat for the weekend! Very cozy cabin, nothing fancy but all you need for a great weekend getaway that was super close to hocking hill trails. Listing was accurate and email prior ensured that we were prepared with all that we needed for the trip! Highly recommend! We had just two of us and a dog, but cabin could easily accommodate 2 additional adults

The renter sent detailed instructions for how to find/access the house. Everything was just as described. Peaceful setting, clean, and I love the fact it was pet friendly! My dogs were very comfortable. A nice break from reality. I will be back in warmer weather when we can also enjoy a hike!

Masters the Basics
Very responsive, friendly and great to work with! We originally booked the wrong dates and they worked with us to find another date! Family of 4 and we were not looking for anything fancy. This cabin is rustic and simplistic in all the right ways, with all the essentials covered. It rained while we were there and the sound of the rain on the tin roof made for the best nights sleep! This is not a new build and sits in the woods so don’t rent if you’re definition of “rustic” is used in terms of style. Renters are upfront about the wildlife, critters and possible bugs you may.
