Phenomena cabin! The view was amazing, it was comfortable, everything worked as it should and we are already planning our next trip back! Hot tub was great, there are fishing poles for the pond.. literally perfect! WiFi is stickered on the wall by the welcome and keys sign, it took a few for us to find it. :) This was hands down one of our favorite getaways!

Very private remote cabin that is in a perfect location. The cabin was very clean and had everything we could need. The hot tub was also very clean and fresh and awesome. This cabin was a 10 out of 10 for us. Our dogs loved the hiking trails and back yard, and days were spend hiking fishing and relaxing. Will return for sure!

Cabin was fully stocked- we didn’t have to worry about anything. Kids loved fishing and it was so nice to be able to sit out there during the storm. The cabin was very tidy and clean, and there was plenty of bedding and blankets for everybody. Kids love the hot tub. But definitely will come back for a longer stay next time.

Beautiful cabin with trails, pond, and everything you need to have meals there. Close enough to grocery but secluded for relaxation. Hot tub, corn hole, blackstone grill and poker table were added bonuses. The front porch is amazing! Owner is very good about communication. Hope to visit again and highly recommend.

Amazing property!

We absolutely love this cabin! We have stayed here multiple times and will continue to come back! It is in a beautiful, secluded lacation. All the appliances are new smart appliances. The hot tub is great and where we spend most of our time! We just love this place! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful Cabin!

Weekends Getaway

This cabin is lovely! Everything you need in the kitchen. Comfortable beds. The covered front porch was great. We fished, grilled, hiked, hot tubbed, and relaxed. Would be a great place to bring your kayak or SUP board. Easy day trip to Hocking Hills and you can Uber to Athens.

Beautiful Spot with a Comfortable Cabin

We had a wonderful time exploring trails, discovering wildlife, and relaxing in the hot tub.The location is excellent, the cabin is clean, in great shape, and has all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay.The only hiccup was that we needed to move furniture on the first night in order to get access to all of the beds. All-in-all, this wasn't a huge deal and didn't detract much from our stay.We can't wait to come back and see this place in all of the seasons!

Cabin felt like home away from home

I brought 5 teenager girls for the weekend and wanted a cabin close enough drive to OU for siblings weekend. Plenty of room for us - to explore the property, spend time together in common space, or retreat to the loft or one of the two bedrooms for alone time. Cabin felt like home - from the well stocked kitchen to the family games. Beautifully designed from the moment you walk up to the huge front porch. Inside the kitchen is well stocked with spices and an abundance of nice plates, cups, cookware. Family games and puzzles on the inside - corn hole, horseshoes on the outside. Hot tub was located conveniently on back deck and was clean and perfect temp. I will save this property to return to stay here again.

Left a day early

Cabin and all amenities inside was very nice. We loved being by the stream. However we had no cell or internet service during our stay. We did contact the owner to work through the issue but still had problems. Contacted the owner to let him know we checked out a day early for that reason.not sure if I was accommodated in the cost .

Beautiful Cabin!

Honestly, the pictures on VRBO do not do this Cabin Justice! We absolutely loved this place and enjoyed our stay so much! The Cabin still looks so new, with very nice and updated appliances and amenities! There is a lake style body of water on both sides of the cabin that is so nice! We loved fishing as well as just sitting by the water drinking our coffee in the mornings! It is also very secluded. We enjoyed the amazing hot tub everyday we were there, as well as the grill and smoker! Overall, we couldnt ask for a better Cabin and will definitely be back!

The cabin & property far exceeded expectations! It’s close to Hocking Hills hiking, the property's pond made for great fishing (novices, but caught a lot). We’ll be booking this cabin.
