Weekend away

The property is starting to show its age and lack of general upkeep. The hot tub was really looking bad and the mud running in from the driveway did not make it look very inviting, it definitely was a disappointment as we were looking forward to the hot tub. Generally, it was a great fit for my wife the dog and me

Intro to Hocking Hills

We had a great time. Liked the fact that our cabin was isolated but not! Mattress was horrible so bring something if you have back problems. Kitchen was fully equipped and really nice to work in. The grill has seen better days but did the job.

Beautiful view

Comfortable beds, good water pressure, and the hot tub was wonderful - hot and so clean. Everything we needed was in the cabin including kitchenware and linens. It was quite clean on the inside of the cabin and there were televisions in all the bedrooms which was nice. The view from the front porch was lovely for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Check-in is at a separate location which is different from usual, but went smoothly.

Not fancy, but just what you need.

We fit 6 sisters in the house for a weekend and it was just enough. Tiny kitchen, but with sufficient materials to cook all of the meals we wanted. Even has a blender for smoothies, though not listed as supplied. Couldnt find the kayak or conoe and wouldnt have been able to transport them to a river anyway. The ATV trail was not nice for hiking, but just short drives away are many gorgeous hikes
