Weekend getaway

We had a wonderful weekend getaway! The house was beautifully furnished with all the essentials, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The hot tub was exactly what we needed to relax, and we loved the little bar area and outdoor TV. The only downside was that the hot tub lacked privacy, as people could walk or drive by, which felt a bit awkward. Other than that, everything was perfect, and we would definitely stay again!

Hocking hills hiking trip

The 5 us enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean, updated and spacious and we appreciated the 2 full bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. The loft space was fun for the kids and the hot tub was amazing! We’d stay there again!

Short Weekend Trip

This house was a great location and very nice!The only things would be that the porch was so dirty we couldn’t even use it, along with the kayaks. The hot-tub was also pretty dirty. The rooms were nice and beds were comfortable!

Hiking trip

The cleanliness and location of the cabin were great! My only recommendation would be to add a dish washer and blinds on the windows. The host said there was a camera facing door, but it was located on the side of the house at the fire pit which made us slightly uncomfortable. Overall, we had a fantastic weekend and would definitely go back.

Lovely weekend

We really enjoyed our stay here. The kayaks were really fun and the setting was beautiful. It would be so amazing if they had firewood available for sale at the site but it was a minor inconvenience and we knew we should have picked it up earlier. This cottage is simple and does not come with many amenities but that was clear from the description. As long as you come prepared, it is a really wonderful spot. We definitely plan to visit again.

Girls trip

The place was perfect, the view from the porch was spectacular, Hocking Hills was very close. The road in was a bit treacherous and the upstairs loft was a bit warm compared to the lower level. Very clean. Hot tub wasn’t as clean as expected but we used it. Fire pit was wonderful.

The house was very nice and comfortable.

Suggestions it would be good to have a coat rack at the back door, hangers in the bedrooms. There was no washer or dryer. I also did not see an Iron or ironing board.

Several cleanliness, maintenance and accommodation issues

The home was cozy but there were several issues that we had. There is not enough kitchen attire to accommodate a family making meals. There is no Tupperware for food storage, they barely provide enough dishes to serve a meal outside 1 of the 3 pot/pans you cooked it in. If you’re staying a few/several days you will want to bring Tupperware and dishes to prepare meals in. There were lots & lots of cob webs throughout the hom. Our bathroom hand soap was watered down! I went to use it and it literally sprayed all over my top! Under the couch and beds were debris/ dirt, m&m’s and chip crumbs from the last guests. The “bar” room off of the hot tub area was not even cleaned after previous guests. There was empty ice bags left in freezer, chips, straw wrappers and candy wrappers on floor, counter had dried drink spills and glass ring marks all over. The last group must of had a celebration there was confetti pieces all over the floor. The washer does NOT work. I am assuming because all the hoses are so jammed and kinked behind the washer/dryer in the very small laundry closet and the dryer vent is so pinched off that it vents into the house. Almost every kitchen chair was very wobbly, unfortunately we did not have an Allen wrench on us but we could hand tighten them so we could eat as a family at the table. Ceiling fan, exhaust fans pretty full of accumulated dust. The dvd player was broken along with the table top record player. The views were amazing and the pond was enjoyable.
