About this property

Secluded log home - perfect for a romantic weekend getaway! Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and rustic wood furnishings. Hot tub, fire pit, wood-burning fire place, porch swing, satelite tv and dvd player. Sleeps four, in two queen beds with two full baths. Well-equipped kitchen. Pet friendly (2 pet limit with $50+tax pet fee).
INCLUDED All of the Chalets include: a scenic setting; outdoor hot-tub; fireplace, grill and firepit; kitchen with cooktop, microwave, coffee maker, cooking utensils and tableware; Roku tv with dvd player; bed, bath and kitchen linens; bath soap and a supply of dish soap; toilet paper and trash bags; access to the Chalets Resort pool at the Chalets Old Man's Cave location; central air conditioning and heat.
SITE Wooded location at the end of a long gravel driveway shared by Chalets cabin called Pine Creek. Four wheel drive required in winter conditions. Closest park is Conkles Hollow - 2 miles, a 5-minute drive. So these cabins are considered to be part of the Chalets Conkles Hollow location. Old Man's Cave is a 10-15 minute drive along some of the most scenic roads of the region. The Chalets Old Man's Cave location with office, pool and SaunaPods is a 20 minute drive.
SIMILAR If you like this cabin's location and layout, you will like its neighbors Pine Creek (4) and Timber Ridge (4), which is just up the road. Bigger versions of this style are Oak Ridge (8), Sycamore (8) and Dogwood (12). [HCRN-00172]

Great family weekend

The Pioneer cabin is a great, pet-friendly cabin in the heart of the Hocking Hills. This is a great cabin and is pet-friendly, which is a huge plus! We spent a weekend here, hiking , eating, and enjoying the Hocking Hills area.

Great cabin to relax after lobg days of hiking!

The Pioneer was very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed having television for rainy evenings and a hot tub to soothe muscles after hiking all day. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect getaway

Location was excellent for hiking. We were coming in later than expected, and we were pleasantly surprised that the patio lights were on and the hot tub was all warmed up for us. Check in and check out were a breeze.

Comfy, clean and convenient

The Pioneer through Chalet at Hocking Hills provides a comfortable, clean cabin that is close to hiking trails and Grandma Faye's grocery store.This cabin's hot tub was the cleanest that I've experienced in the last 15 years.The fees seem excessive but they are clearly stated before booking.Overall, if you like bringing pets with you on vacation I would recommend the Pioneer.

Pioneer Cabin

Overall, my boyfriend and I loved our stay at the Pioneer cabin! We loved the cabin! Very cozy and a much needed relaxing weekend away from the busy city. Only complaint is that the beds were not comfortable, very hard. Other than that, loved the hot tub and grill!

The Pioneer cabin was fantastic! The setting was perfect, in the woods, a few miles away from the Astronomy Park and hiking within Hocking Hills. The cabin is very well maintained, stocked with basic supplies, very clean. We will stay here again!

Moving to the Midwest

We made a cross country move to Ohio and needed a pet friendly place to stay while we waited on our furniture to arrive at our new home. My husband and our two Rottweilers enjoyed spending days at the propery.

Great location, great service

We've stayed in Hocking Hills at least 10 times in the past two decades, and this was our first time with one of the larger cabin companies - and it was better than good! The cabin was very nice - only needed a tech update on the tv. The 1st floor master bath was way above average. The close access to Logan and Old Man's Cave were plusses as well. We'd return.

The property is nice enough but it is not cozy. The cabin needs more comfortable rugs and furniture. Also the kitchen needs nicer things like coffee cups.

Overall, the property is clean and well kept. We really enjoyed the cabin, fireplace, and hot tub. Hopefully the owners will read this and fix just 3 things. Please move the fire pit closer to the cabin, snake the downstairs bathroom sink and please, please, add some pillow top mattress covers to the beds or get new softer mattresses. Would gladly stay there again if the mattresses are fixed.

Great spot

Perfect spot to all the great hiking locations. Cabin was very nice and comfortable for the most part. The mattresses would be the only thing that was uncomfortable. The dust on the fans could be paid attention to a bit more, I understand it’s hard to be on it all the time in the area it was located, but it was a lot. The outdoor grill could be replaced very loose and not secure. Those are my only suggestions. Everything else was absolutely amazing. Loved the open space and views. The games were fun to play with the family, and everyone had an amazing time. I would recommend this place. Note, if you are staying for an extended time call the lodge and ask them to check hot tub, and extra towels of maybe leave a hose to top off.

Excellent Detach TECH Getaway

Hot Tub Great & Cleanliness of the cabin was great. Cabin amenities offered was standard fair which allowed us to pack light on kitchen/ home items. We brought our griddle and was happy with our stay! Beautiful area, serene setting, quaint picture perfect area. Wifi was not accessible at all for us the entire weekend. CB's or long range walkies are ideal if you have other parties that you need to stay in contact with for future reference. Pack a Flash light for sure. Will defiantly be back <*_*>. Cleaners was patient as I completed a trail with family day of check out and was late getting back to pick up rest of the cabin party by 40min :O, very patient and understanding =) 3 kids under 5yo was not ready for a long hike :0 WE APPRECIATE YOUR Consideration, patience, understanding ALOT!!!! THANK YOU :D

Hocking Hills Getaway

We thought the cabin was exactly as listed. Only two downfalls we experienced are the super hard beds in both rooms and we lost power one evening during a storm and there wasn’t any flashlights or anything to see around in the dark. Also, the extra fees for WiFi. The hottub was mediocre.
