About this property

Beautiful log cabin, premium Jacuzzi tub, large decks, fireplace, large fire-pit

Escape to the Cardinal Cabin, a three-story haven offering a blend of comfort and natural beauty. With 2 full bathrooms and 3 distinct sleeping spaces, this cabin caters to both relaxation and adventure seekers. On the main floor, find a cozy enclosed bedroom with a queen-size bed, an open loft bedroom featuring a king-size bed and a twin bed, and a newly finished basement housing a bunk bed (full size on the bottom, twin on top) and a sleeper sofa.
The cabin boasts a wood-burning fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with sleek Stainless Steel appliances and Granite Countertops, a spacious main floor living room with vaulted ceilings, and a second living room / sleepings area in the basement complete a wet bar featuring a mini fridge. Entertainment is covered with a Flat screen HDTV, Satellite in main level and & Blu Ray/DVD player and Sega in basement, while the cabin ensures year-round comfort with central heating & air conditioning. Other conveniences include a washer/dryer, updated décor, and a 6-person hot tub on the second-story deck overlooking a private wooded hillside.
For outdoor enthusiasts, a large 4-burner Blackstone Griddle and an outdoor fire ring await. Access to the cabin is via a gravel road, which, while somewhat steep, bumpy, winding, and narrow, adds to the adventure. Note that lowered vehicles may bottom out, and road bikes are not recommended. During winter, 4WD or AWD may be necessary, but rest assured, snow removal is professionally managed.
In the digital age, this cabin provides a unique getaway by not offering Wi-Fi. However, a cell phone with an enabled hotspot is provided for slower speed internet capabilities. Embrace the tranquility of nature and wake up to the soothing sounds of the surrounding environment from the expansive decks.
Keep in mind that the cabin relies on well water due to its secluded location. While the water is drinkable, guests may prefer to bring their own, and the refrigerator is equipped with a water filtration system. Discover the nearby State Park Trails, with attractions like Old Man's Cave just a short 20-minute drive away.
Connectivity varies with good to fair reception for AT&T and T-Mobile, and acceptable Verizon coverage, though phone calls may experience occasional interruptions. Immerse yourself in the Cardinal Cabin experience, where every detail is designed for a memorable retreat into nature.

Pet Policy- We do allow up to 2 dogs, certain restrictions may apply. The pet fee is $100. No charge for Service dogs, please send the service certificate if applicable.

Cabin getaway

Had a fun stay with some friends and explored and hiked a lot The area and the cabin was beautiful and very calming. The caves were a cool site to see! Wish the cabin had Wi-Fi though and some signal but other than that it was nice.

Beautiful cabin

The cabbing was as described. I highly recommend it. I recommend putting a longer shower curtain in the basement bathroom. The one in there is too short and the water goes on the bathroom floor when taking a shower.

Secluded Summer Getaway

Private and secluded cabin. Clean. Nice sized hot tub and Blackstone. Lawn chairs are available so you don’t have to pack them. Close to Hocking Hills State Park. Owner was contacted for hot tub directions, quick response. Had Verizon for phone service provider. Was able to check emails, text and make calls from inside and outside of the cabin. Overall, we had a great stay. No complaints.

The whole cabin was nice and definitely needed the relaxation with the fire and the hot tub. We enjoyed grilling out in the morning and evening as well. Old man’s cave is close by and it was also so much fun to visit. Definitely recommend.

Few differences

It was a nice cabin, remote but peaceful. The drive up the road was definitely tricky and cell service is spotty throughout the area so print your directions. The cabin has a black stone, not a grill like we were expecting, or we would have changed our plans for what to cook. If you are bringing a pet make sure to bring a crate, did not find this out till reading the welcome binder. Overall was a good place for our visit to the area

Relaxing Stay

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. The hot tub felt wonderful after a day of hiking. We had plenty of room to spread out if we wanted, and a big table with enough seating for meals and board games. My girls loved reading and napping in the swings outside and I loved having my coffee every morning on the upper deck while listening to the sounds of nature. We had everything we needed to grill meals. We loved the Blackstone so much we may get one ourselves! The cable went out and the owner came right out to help and gave great feedback on where to hike. We would definitely recommend if you want a quiet retreat in the woods!

Incredible accommodations, dreamy location, beautiful cabin, could go on and on!

We drove down from Columbus to escape to a cabin for Christmas due to a long year full of sacrifice and hard work that we are happy to put behind us! The booking was simple, the directions to the cabin were thorough and straight forward as was the check in process. The cabin was much larger than I anticipated with tons of room to play and stretch out and explore! The weather was beautiful and the property was perfect to have a fire and hike around! There was a spacious hot tub and lots of porch space! The cabin had everything we needed to make each meal at home (based on what was listed ahead of time, we also brought our own stuff) which was so nice. Every room was clean and spacious and the beds were comfortable. I can’t say enough good things! The host was responsive when I had questions and the hot spot provided to make up for lack of cell service was really helpful. We had an absolute blast and a Christmas vacation we will remember forever!! Thank you so much. We will absolutely be recommending to our friends and hopefully booking again in the future!

perfect fall weekend

Our family booked this nice cabin for a weekend together. We cooked all our meals in and were very impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked as far as cookware, cutlery, etc. Heads up: no dishwasher. We loved the wood burning fireplace in the main living area which got used nightly. Firepit in the back was also so nice. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of extra blankets. Bathroom on the main floor was quite small, but worked well for us. I think the cabin could do with better lighting overall, but that didn't deter us from completely enjoying our stay. 10/10 would stay again.

Relaxing and Peaceful

The cabin was beautiful.Meticuliously kept and fresh clean smelling. Close to Hocking Hills, Ash Cave, and Old Man's Cave. Excellent hiking area. Much more to see and do close by, but chose to enjoy the hot tub and fire place. Owner- manager was very accommodating and pleasant. One of the best vacation cabins we've stayed at; and we've stayed at many over the years!

Perfect family trip

We had a great time at the Cardinal cabin. It is located in a remote area, so quiet and beautiful. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows at the fire pit, looking at the stars late at night and sitting in the hot tub. There was plenty of space for our family of 6- spacious but still had a cozy cabin feel. We appreciated the board games and outdoor games which made for good family fun. The cabin is not too far from I great hiking spots in the Hocking Hills area. We enjoyed it so much we are thinking of coming back to see the area at a different time of year.
