Everything was great! Super cozy and clean, the skillet was in bad shape but I brought my own and we didn't plan to cook much (just some breakfast). 20 minutes to some great restaurants, and 35 minutes from many hiking trails at Hocking Hills. Very quiet and private.

Host was very helpful cabin was very clean. The only downfall was the pans cooking skillet/sauce pans the Teflon was scraped off and scratched up. We didn't feel comfortable using them so we chose to go buy a couple pans to use and brought them home. It would have been nice to know prior to booking thatvthe fireplace was out of order. (Maybe a complimentary bundle of firewood would be nice for the inconvenience or a discounted rate). Over all we really enjoyed the setting and privacy.

It was clean and quiet. The hot tub was great. Shower is small. Fire place was out of service which was disappointing but the fire ring out back was fun. Trying to sit around the fire with the slope of the backyard is a little tricky. Host had all necessary info for me and directions were good. Good communication.
The cabin was great! It was quiet and tranquil, the hot tub was soooooo relaxing. The cabin was cozy, perfect for two people. I recommed this to anyone wanting a nice getaway from life.

Our stay was good overall. The location was good, although the description says it is 15 minutes from everything and it is really closer to 30 - 35. The hot tub could have used some repairs (we found random jet covers at the bottom) and a good cleaning, but overall it was fine.The one thing that was a problem for us was the lack of communication. I messaged the host the day before our trip because I hasn't heard anything about the check-in process - what the code is or when we could expect to get it. The day of our trip, I still hadn't heard anything. I called and left a voicemail, and heard nothing. Then messaged again and finally got the code. The day before we were due to leave I messaged and asked if there was anything we needed to do for check-out and never heard back. It left me feeling glad we didn't need anything significant while we were there.
