Hiking week

We had a wonderful stay at this house. Very relaxing when we returned from a day of hiking. The outdoor areas were nice. The porches were nice to sit and relax. Quiet area also. Everything inside was what we needed.

Great Location to major trails

Great location. Very Dog friendly. My dog loved being able to go in and out of the doggy doors into a fenced in space. It’s way off the main road so very private. Hot tub was a nice highlight. WiFi was pretty good for being that far out.

Winter weekend away

This was the perfect place for a weekend away in March! Close enough to drive to the trails and hike and then unwind at the cabin. It was so cozy and we especially loved the hot tub at the end of the day- thanks for a wonderful weekend away!

Trails outside the door

Cute cabin. Clean hot tub. Nice trails right outside the door. Only 20 minutes from Hocking Hills attractions. I stayed alone and wished there were coverings for doors as they were mostly window.

Perfect place to relax with pets

We enjoyed our stay and were able to relax with our two dogs. The fenced in area and enclosed upper deck were such a bonus. The walking trails were really nice and the hot tub gave us a perfect view of the night sky. It was a perfect place for our short get away. We would definitely recommend and stay there again!

great property

Great location...convenient to Athens and Hocking Hills destinations but out-of-the-way enough for relative quiet. Well-maintained and interesting trails on-property, and a nicely appointed, spacious cabin. Highly recommend, esp if you're bringing doggie friends, who will love their own fenced-in run.

10 year Anniversary Getaway

It was a nice cabin nearby a quaint little town! Me and my partner loved the fireplace and really enjoyed the open floor concept. Unfortunately, a mouse got caught in a trap under the kitchen sink, but Nick and Shannon took care of it as soon as they could, so we really appreciated that!

Comfortable & Peaceful

The cabin is tucked away at the back of the property and is quiet/secluded. The scenery was beautiful and we were easily able to get to many of the local hiking spots and state parks. If you are bringing a dog, the side yard is a great amenity.

Secluded Getaway

Kick Back cabin was an amazing secluded winter getaway for our Anniversary. The private secluded cabin was cute & cozy and just what we needed to watch the snow fall close in around us. We will definitely return! We would like to stay on the property again in the Spring.

First time staying here! Love the quiet serenity of this location! Our senior pet loved the view out the windows. We are looking forward to returning to explore more of this location as it was too easy to stay in the cabin enjoying the snowfall and its beauty! Thank you, Shannon and Nick for a wonderful stay!

Relaxing holiday getaway

Wonderful quiet place to spend a few days in the woods during a very unseasonably warm winter period. Plenty of trails to explore on the property. Thoughtfully decorated. Love the size of the cabin. Perfect for 2 people and a dog. Would even be good for 4 people. Appreciate the extra touches like a fenced in portion for pups. Hot tub under the stars was a bonus. Thank you!

Great Christmas Escape!

Communication was great with the owner!If you like to cook, plan to bring some kitchen towels and pans. What was there was a bit "used." We read all the reviews, and they are pretty spot on. The cabin itself could use some updating, but for our Christmas getaway, we really didn't pay too much attention to the aesthetics. The outside steps that lead to the fenced-in area needed some good cleaning because they were very slick to walk on. They had some Christmas decorations up which made the time very festive. The cabin was very nice and I would do this trip again however next time bring a few more of our belongings. Thankful that we spent this time away from everyone to enjoy a very peaceful Christmas.We had NO cell service however the wi-fi worked great!

Not as charming as expected :/

We were excited to go away for a couple nights in the woods, relax in the hot tub and come back in to a roaring fireplace...But the cabin was just so-so. The ceiling fans were lined with black dust/dirt. The hot tub was older, but still functional. The fireplace was one of those side table ones, not what we expected. I wouldn't have booked if i knew about it. I will read reviews thoroughly before booking again. Lesson learned.

Relaxing stay

Kick back cabin was perfect for a relaxing stay with our 2 dogs. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard and the trails. The cabin was clean, easy check in, and the setting was nice and private. Away from everything but close enough to town in case you need anything. The Christmas tree was a nice addition.

Such a peaceful place! My husband and I had such a relaxing time. Just what we needed. We brought along our 2 pugs. They loved the fenced in area and we did too! Also the side porch where they could sit out with us on swing and not get out. Great communication with hosts. I had a few questions before we arrived and they answered quickly. We hope to stay here again. We even got to see it snow before we left.
