Relaxation!

We wanted a stress free weekend get away and thats what this cabin provided. It was set back away from the road in a secluded spot. The firepit and hot tub area was so peaceful at night with a fire going. It was great that we could bring 2 of our dogs with us also! Only complaint we had the entire time there was that we didnt know to pick up firewood before arriving, but the owners had awesome directions posted inside the cabin on where we could get some...It wasnt far so it wasnt long before we had a fire going the first night. We will definitely be back again!

Fun-Filled Spring Break

During our trip, we hiked at several main attractions: Rock House, Old Man's Cave, Cedar Falls, and Ash Cave. We also fished at Fox Lake and the nearby pond. In the evenings, we enjoyed the fire pit and, of course, the hot tub. This property was amazing and set further back than many others we saw along the way. We truly enjoyed our time here, listening to nature and just relaxing.We truly enjoyed our time here, listening

Second stay!

This is our second time staying here and it was absolutely wonderful! We came during peak fall colors and the weather gorgeous. The hot tub was the best reward after a day of hiking and the front porch was the perfect place to enjoy that morning cup of coffee! My kids and dog all love roaming around the property and exploring all the caves and hills. Thank you for a great place to get away!

Perfect and private

We stayed October 8th to the 11th. It was very enjoyable. The area is secluded well enough , we enjoyed the hot tub after hiking and privacy was excellent. We would definitely stay again. Communication was easy with the host. Great place for our getaway.

Cozy Cabin Stay

This property is exactly as listed. A great little pond right out front had my kids attention right away. We didn’t bring fishing poles for catch and release, but we found some line and a hook down there and made a make shift pole. It was the highlight of their stay. The cabin itself was perfect. You feel remote and away from everything, but just a short trip down the road and you’ll find plenty to do in hocking hills or Athens. The communication was quick and easy with the host. I would highly recommend this cabin, and I definitely plan to stay here again.

Birthday Celebration

We visit Hocking each October but this year decided to do end of August for two reasons. It was my daughter’s 14th birthday and my son just started at Hocking college so it was our first visit to him since moving him in. The property was amazing. So many trails that we never even had time to explore because our trip was so short. Love the fairy land and the arrows help navigate us even though we still managed to get ourselves lost hahaha. The house was the perfect size for the 4 of use who stayed and then my son and girlfriend to come visit for the day. Hot tub was clean. Loved the porch! We never made it to the caves because there was so much to do right on the property. Would definitely consider staying again.

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Dick

Lauren and Andy Dick moved to the Athens, Ohio area in 1994 to attend Ohio University and Hocking College. It was here that we fell in love with each other and the Southeastern Ohio Region. In 2000, we purchased our first beautiful four acres adjacent the to the Waterloo Wildlife and Research Area. Over the past 19 years we have continued to expand our ownership of more property in this magical place. As of May 2017, we celebrated our acquisition of additional acreage now totaling 81 acres.
It has been our dream to share the peace and serenity of Waterloo Woods with others who desire to get away from it all and rejuvenate. The newly renovated cabin on our property, as see here on VRBO, has made that dream a reality for us. We take great pride in assuring our guest stay in a private, clean, serene and welcoming environment.
