great place to stay, very clean and well accommodated
the privacy, the hot tub was clean and hot , the place was cozy
my only complaint was the distance to Hocking Hills State Park since the cabin is in McArthur Ohio and there was an odor off and on , maybe the well water not being used enough to eliminate it

It was a beautifully decorated and comfy cabin.
The bathtub was so good I now want one for myself, Loved the fireplaces, huge bed, comfy reclining seats, and hot tub. Also had all kitchen appliances and tools you’d need which is a huge plus.

great stay
this is a great cabin we have stayed here a few times and will be back again it is very clean we always enjoy ourselves
Cool property with a gardena dn water fall feature leading to the pond. "Owl Creek" was furthest from the pond which could be great during busy times when the other cabins are booked.
Lovely property all around. I loved the pond with the waterfall feature especially at night. I had a great time relaxing with nature. Perfect spot to set up your telescope too! Fantastic property!
We would have given it 5 stars, but the beds were too firm for us. We slept on the couch the second night, otherwise a great stay

Hot tub was hot, smelled like sulfur a bit but not super bothersome. The bedroom was quite dust filled. The bathroom was beautiful, probably the peak of the stay.
The private lake part isn't truthful, it may be private for the owners but this particular cabin was not. Was told they couldn't give us the exact place it was because of
privacy". very strange. We went and found it about a half a mile away from my cabin and it was like a couple feet from a septet cabin so maybe that cabin needs that in their heading and not this one. i felt like we were "trespassing" other visitors rented cabins when we went to see the lake, I don't know if anyone was renting them out at the time but still, people might not want to rent a cabin and see other people right out front.

Very peaceful and relaxing.
Everything! The cabin has everything a couple needs to just relax and unwind.
Overall the cabin was nice and cozy. The water smelled of strong sulfur though. So I never got to use the cool looking copper tub.

Overall happy only complaints are the the hot tub and the close proximity to road noise.
The bathtub in the bathroom was awesome the cabin was clean and comfortable. The hot tub was a pretty big disappointment it never got hot just like a warm bath the two nights we were there even with it.turned up high. The only other issue was it was close to a road that had a a decent amount of action on we were hoping for more secluded and quiet. For those 2 reason the price wasnt worth it for us. As nice as the cabin and everything it offered was. We wanted a hot tub that got hot.
I loved the property. It was quiet, and secluded, but still very close to a town with everything you need. It rained almost the entire time, but it was nice to sit on the porch and watch the storms. The pond is full of fish and there are lots of birds and nature around. Our grill broke, and within an hour of calling to report it they came and replaced it. The bed is super comfortable. Also still got cell service. We will be back.

The place was very cute and romantic, but wish the description stated its fairly close to the road and the first cabin. As well as it being part of PawPaws Cabins. Still felt secluded and would probably be better in summer with full trees. Our pup had plenty of room to roam outside off lease as well. The cabin it self had all the things you needed for a romantic stay. However the place is covered in dead ladybugs and what appeared to be bees, as well crawling with live ladybugs. Had to vacuum upon arriving, but continued to see more. The hot tub was ok, but could not stay in for more than ten minutes as the heating pump is out and would not get above 75 degrees. Kinda a big selling point and choose this place over others because of having a hot tub. The fireplace also does not work. After multiple attempts it would turn on and go out after a few minutes, flicker back on and than off again in a few, repeating the cycle, bummer on a cold winters night. Cabin was cozy but needs some cleaning and updating/fixing. Still curious to stay in the other two cabins on the property.

Cabin was okay, too many issues though.
The directions they provided led me to a barn with a hidden, muddy driveway being plowed by some random man. There was no sign to indicate that I was in the right place instead of trespassing. Stressful. Even though they need 5 hours to clean and threaten expensive cleaning fees, the place was gross. Dog hair and dog food everywhere. All surfaces had thick layer of dust. Corners of floors were compacted with filth. Emailed them before reviewing and no response. Won't be returning.
Booked a weekend trip with 2 requirements: a hot tub and a fireplace. Everything seemed fine upon arrival but the gas fireplace would not stay lit for more than 15-20 minutes. I reached out to the company/owner the next morning. It took a while to get a response. I got a text on what might be the problem and was told they would “try to get maintenance” out. After hiking all day we were looking forward to coming back and relaxing in front of a fire. When we got back that night there was a space heater waiting by the door. The heat wasn’t the issue. Never got a follow up. I was able to get the fire going again but it still went out after 20 minutes. I was disappointed with that because it was part of why I booked the place. The rest of the stay was good - the hot tub was great, the copper tub was nice, location good.
