The property was even more gorgeous than the pictures showed. Super peaceful if you're looking for quiet from your busy life. We're parents of 2 kiddos with support needs so this was the best reset for us. We definitely plan to go back, maybe in the summer so we can utilize the lake more

Place is awesome!

Fishing was pretty good for bass and crappie, place has everything you need or want. Hot tub and your own private trails were fantastic. The peddle boat was good for fishing and cruising around. We did not see a single person while staying there and only heard the birds chirp and the owls hoot.

Perfect Weekend Getaway!

The property was a little further away from Hocking Hills than originally anticipated, but was located close to essentials (i.e. pizza and groceries). This was the perfect weekend getaway for our family. The view was beautiful and our boys had fun fishing, roasting marshmallows and wandering around the woods. Such a great property!

Secluded nice get away

We had a great time at the cabin. My husband and I stayed for 5 days. We didnt leave the property and didnt see a single person the whole time. The view is amazing and the property had plenty to do with the water and all the wooded trails. The only negative is the biggest bed at the cabin is a full size bed. If that doesnt bother you I would definitely book this cabin if you want aome peace and quiet.

The best weekend getaway

My partner and I took a trip here for the weekend close to Christmas. The area is so quiet and secluded. We stopped for pizza on the way at mamma renies and it was 10/10. Watched the sunrise through our bedroom window and got coffee up town. The trails were an added bonus even though hocking hill is only 25 min away. The weekend was perfect for us and will definitely stay again!

Beautiful property, not easy with motorcycle

We loved this property! But the drive in was difficult on a motorcycle because of loose gravel and narrow lanes. Also, we could not carry firewood on the bike back to the cabin and wished there was firewood available at the cabin to use. Otherwise, the property is perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway. Highly recommend!

The Best Cabin

This is my favorite cabin to stay at when I go to Hocking Hills. I love how hidden it is. It is pretty small but that doesn’t bother me. With the hot tub, fire pit, trails, and lake with 2 boats there’s no reason to be stuck inside. I wouldn’t change 1 thing about this place!

Like having our own private lake and park!

This was our first truly secluded vacation. It was utterly peaceful and fun. The trails were great for an activity. The firepit was great by the water and we all enjoyed cruising around in the boat. The property was very clean and everything was in good working order. We brought lots of food and had ourselves some great meals at the outdoor dining table. And best o of all, they're were very few bugs to bother our picnic and literally no mosquitoes. Quite a lot of butterflies and dragonflies! Super place. We'd stay again!

Perfect cabin!! Not one thing that I would change about the cabin or the experience. It was clean and spacious. Andy was great. We had the lake to ourselves, the row boat was perfect. The trails were the best I have seen at a rented cabin. The deck was massive, and overlooked the lake. The dock in the mornings was perfect to drink coffee on and watch as the lake fog roll through.The jacuzzi was very clean. We will definitely be back!!

True to relaxation as promised!

Such a sweet cabin backed up to a beautiful lake. Very serene, we loved the place. Could use a little freshening up, i.e. area carpets, curtains, some attention to cooking pans, boat. The hot tub was such an enjoyable experience, well kept, clean. So nice to have some provisions, coffee, tea, flour, sugar, etc. Very, very thoughtful. Just 3 miles to small town for pizza or supplies. Otherwise felt like we were pleasantly secluded, which was the plan. Great instructions, no need to contact Andy with issues. Thank you for a great stay!

Much needed time away

My husband and I were looking for a secluded property for much needed relaxation. When I saw the private lake in the middle of 100 acres, I knew I found the right place. It is absolutely breathtaking. We had guests for dinner one night and after dinner we all enjoyed a campfire in the fire pit located by the water. We also enjoyed the hot tub every morning before we ate breakfast on the amazing deck. If you are looking for a secluded spot that has a lot of ambiance, this is it! You couldn’t ask for a better host. Andy was amazing to work with. ❤️❤️

Our Favorite Getaway

This was our second time staying at this cabin and we fell even more in love with it. Our first visit was in late summer and this visit in early winter/end of fall had just as many amazing things to do. The cabin is so thoughtful and intimate and unbelievably cozy. You have the most amazing views both inside and outside. It is so secluded and really feels like you’re in your own world. Both times we’ve gone paddleboarding and it’s such a perfect lake. We got to explore all the trails on this visit and they are well paved and beautiful, we went multiple hikes and I still don’t think we hit all the trails! Andy is such an amazing host and always available for any questions. We are already looking to plan our next trip here, we love it so much we want to try and go 4 times a year!
