A wonderful time was had by all - from ages 8 to 79, our 4 sons & their wives, and 8 grandchildren. Not all were able to stay over night all the time but it was close enough to Columbus to make the trip down even if for the day. The pool, the hot tub, all the arcade games, ping pong, and more were enjoyed. Very, very spacious. The property is beautiful.
This home was more than we expected. Super big, kid friendly. We keep the kid having fun and busy with so many things to do here! Great family trip home!
Perfect Family Getaway with Amazing Amenities and Thoughtful Hosts
Absolutely beautiful home! Our large family stayed here for Thanksgiving, and it was perfect. The kitchen was impressively stocked with everything we needed to cook, including crockpots and glass Snapware for leftovers. The pool was the highlight for the kids, while the hot tub was a peaceful retreat for the adults. The garage full of games kept both kids (5-17) and adults busy, and the heater was great since it was very cold during our stay.The host mentions the water being slightly salty, and while they provided filtered water jugs, we went through them quickly with 20 people and brought extra gallons from Costco.Beds were very comfortable, but the layout works best for groups who are close. One bedroom is a loft above the family room, making it hard to sleep in with morning activity in the kitchen. Another is right off the kitchen with a barn door, and two require walking through one to access the other. It worked well for our family but could be a factor for some groups.We had no trouble getting up the hill in our minivans and even used it for a morning workout! Overall, an amazing home with thoughtful details, and we’d definitely return. Fantastic hosts!
The over all was great we enjoyed it but this property could use some work the doors could use some attention then don’t all slide the way they should, or shut smoothly.
We had a lovely family reunion and loved the indoor pool, large out door patio gathering space snd playground and hot tub. The big disappointment was the that the water is not drinkable and it requires bringing in all your water and ice and for 21 for 5 warm summer days that is s as lot of water! You will also need to provide propane for the gas grill. Hosts are lovely s as bd maintenance team very helpful - replaced the broken air conditioner in 24 hours!!
I would give this vrbo ten stars if possible !
The house lists 26 guests , that is probably an understatement. The house is Huge!
The first level is amazing! Bedrooms , bathrooms , two laundry areas , a kitchen even.
Upstairs has tons of room , and the beds were all very Comfortable!
The kids LOVED the game room !
Something for everyone here . The indoor pool is absolutely perfect ! Water is warm , and the room is kept warm also ! It’s perfect so you aren’t cold when you get out of the pool ! The kids could have stayed the entire day just in the pool ! Hot tub was large and temp was HOT , the way we prefer it .
I really cannot list one negative here …
Communication with the managers was easy and they responded quick . I even asked for advise on which attractions we should visit first .
Yes one review listed the driveway is steep.
It is . But if your new to the area , like I was . The entire area has many hills and steep driving conditions . Lots of twisty Turny roads .
Besides the house , the kids favorite part of the trip was the antique mall .. If you have time it’s worth a stop in ! Very neat unique antique items inside . We would absolutely stay here again .
I enjoyed just walking around the property even , beautiful wooded area .
I can say this is the BEST vrbo we have ever stayed in !
Thank you so much !
It's a great place. very secluded. Indoor pool was amazing. The house was big enough to get lost in! only complaint would be that the water from the tap wasn't drinkable. tasted the same as the salt water pool. Everyone had a wonderful time!!!
My wife and I took our three daughters, their husbands, and all nine grandchildren for a long weekend family vacation to Hocking Hills. We thoroughly enjoyed Hilltop Retreat. Lots of space and the grandchildren spent a lot of time in the pool. Great Family Vacation Destination.
The stay and the house itself was amazing (: everyone had a great time and there is plenty of things to keep everyone busy ! My only complaint would be some things did not work. Such as the jets in the master bathroom tub, and one of the showers stopped working while we were there. lastly some of the doors got stuck and if the 1 bathroom didn't have 2 doors someone would of Ben stuck. But like I said the property and the house was fantastic and we had a great time even with the little things that didn't work.
The house was great and as advertised. The driveway was a problem as one family could not get there standard transmission car up the driveway without burning rubber. We were unable to consistently lock the door leading to the deck.
Overall, the stay and the experience at this property was great. The property manager was awesome to work with every step of the way. I would stay there again!
