About this property

Centrally located for all the Hocking Hills parks or enjoy our property with your group for year-round nature loving . . .this is a great location for all the activities you want to experience.

Deer, turkeys, coyotes, foxes, rabbits, frogs, snakes, many birds, and pheasants have all been spotted on our property. If you want to explore our acreage, note that the path up the large hill behind the home at the lower house is NOT paved and can have deep crevices, wear hiking boots or sturdy shoes. There may be high grass so prepare for that and dress accordingly. During spring and summer the natural brush/grass and wet weather cause quick growth and mowing does occur on a semi-regular rotation, however, it is a "rough" path. Feel free to explore and get lost in nature while there.

Family Time

My husband and I wanted an autumn getaway, our favorite time of year. Something large enough that our adult children and their spouses could visit for the weekend. This was the perfect rental for us. It’s difficult to find pet friendly properties so it was refreshing to find this gem. We will visit again!

Such a Neat Experience

The space is so unique! I think all of us just spent time walking around and looking at things! It's beautifully decorated and has charm! Hurricane Helene did cause some issues for us on Friday with hiking the trails. It was wonderful checking into the house and having the pool table, games, and air hockey table! Overall we did have a great time. We were a party of 6 with a younger couple, an older couple, and a set of twins. I may have looked at the layout of the rooms incorrectly on the posting, but it wasn't what we expected. There is a bedroom with half bath and an open loft area upstairs. The bedroom does not have a door and the loft area is right there. Might be great for a couple and then small children- but that wasn't our situation. Then there is another bedroom downstairs near the main bathroom with shower. Overall it was plenty of room for everyone- just sleeping arrangements were tricky. There are not TV's in either of the bedrooms. Living Room & Loft have a TV. We truthfully enjoyed the disconnect from the outside world. In the kitchen you truly have everything you could possibly need for making meals! The crock pot was a great item as we were able to throw in ham, green beans, and potatoes to cook while we hiked! As the host states- you are in the woods and bugs can be expected. We did encounter wasps - but most were dead and only one live one found it's way in and was quickly removed- as I'm terrified! The location is perfect for hiking the trails!

Instant Recharge

We LOVED this property! We are a family of 4 (2 teenagers) and everyone truly enjoyed their stay. As a family we played cornhole, took adventure walks and even played scrabble at night. The wifi can be spotty which as a mother of teenagers I was grateful for, hence the outdoor enjoyment and game playing. The house is eclectic and cool, and also still has the rustic charm of a cabin. Super neat decor. Also, really well stocked with kitchen items and tons of games. Everything about the house and property allowed our family to recharge and enjoy each others' company. Town and amenities are about a 15 minute drive. This did not feel inconvenient because the scenery is beautiful. Would recommend to anyone!!

Our family trip

Location was good but there wasn’t any cell service at all near the area. Beds weren’t the most comfortable.the water Pressure wasn’t very great. The only shower had a very small surround for shower curtain and wasn’t very comfortable to take a shower at all. The Roku Didn’t work for the living room TV or upstairs. The WiFi connection wasn’t very good and power also turned on and off several times during the three days we were there. There is tons of stuff to do and the kids did have a great time playing outside, playing pool, air hockey and drawing and playing games. We went canoing, swimming at the beach, walked the trails and other fun stuff during our stay and the house was accommodating for adventures that’s for sure. Make sure to screenshot any directions you may need and also make sure to screenshot the WiFi password and entry codes. They should probably list that in instructions. All and all we had a great stay and would definitely stay again.

Nice, but could be better

The location was great and the property is absolutely beautiful! We caught peak fall colors, it was lovely. The things I really loved about the cabin: - having toddlers with us, I really appreciated that there’s a gate for the stairs with a lock that they couldn’t reach. Made us feel comfortable relaxing without hovering over the kids. - kitchen was great, had anything we needed. - wildlife and woods on the property - nice location - cute cabin Things we didn’t love: - LOTS of bugs. I’m not sure if it was something more than typical for this cabin, but it felt like it had to be. The instructions clearly stated not to reach out because of bugs, so we didn’t, but there were a lot. We found wasps everywhere- including in our bed. My husband woke up in the middle of the night with one crawling in his hair. Lots of stink bugs (we didn’t mind those nearly as much as the wasps!). The wasps were all crawling instead of flying, which I assume was either because of the cold or a bug spray outside the house, but that almost made it worse because we had kids that we worried about touching them. My three year old got stung and had a rash all weekend. I’m totally understanding of nature but it did feel like there has to be a way for that to be better.

Good location

This house has a good location to all the hiking you want to do around Hocking Hills! We had our daughter and granddaughter with us on this trip. Our granddaughter is only 17 months so she's all over the place now and I would have appreciated cleaner floors and not so many stairs. I'll do better at asking more questions next rental. The pool table was a big hit for us and Direct TV was nice! Good for a short stay. We were busy during the day hiking and explaining the area.

Lots of charm!

Comfortable and roomy. We spends lots of time in the family room playing pool and enjoying some family time. Unfortunately, we had some rain and humidity, so we didn’t get to take advantage of the large porch, grill, fire pit. That was just timing and the weather. (The rain was mostly in the evenings, so our daytime adventures were not affected.) This was a first adventure with our dogs. They were comfortable and we enjoyed having them with us. Cell service was indeed spotty at best. The dogs GPS collars (Halo) wouldn’t work, so we used their leads. We were informed ahead of time so we were prepared. Wi-Fi was sufficient for our needs while we were there. We were surprised at how close to Ash Cave we were. Water pressure was not great, so dishes and showers took a little longer, but not an issue for a temporary stay. This property was a mystery to us! We were intrigued by the original architecture of the log cabin. I wondered what kind of history is known. I would have loved to see some photos and maybe some background about the property. We spent a lot of time guessing at what it looked like before the renovation and addition. Thank you for sharing with us!

About the host

Hosted by Tom

Host profile image
We are a group of brothers and sisters who wanted to offer a natural and private setting to experience all of what the Hocking Hills offers in a wooded setting. We are located on a 5-acre parcel that we own, and with additional brothers, we own an adjacent 200+ acre site that surrounds the home.

Why they chose this property

A log cabin built by family members in 1978 with an addition in the '90s currently offering 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms with a mix of modern conveniences and the charm of a log cabin built in the woods and surrounded by nature.

Please bring tick spray or use clothing that is tick repellant treated and/or check yourselves for ticks if you hike the woods. This is not something we can prevent in the woods/acreage.

What makes this property unique

Location convenient to the Hocking Hills area parks in a central rural location.

Access to the hiking area on the property, we are part of the owners of the adjacent 200+ acre property that is also used as a short term rental. Hiking the whole property is available most of the time, the other home sleeps up to 12 people. Please note, the other home's guests may also be hiking the property, however, on 200+ acres it should not be a problem to physically distance.
Things to do nearby/helpful info:
• Parks include: Clear Creek, Conkle’s Hollow, Hocking Hills State Park which includes Ash Cave, Cantwell Cliffs, Cedar Falls, Old Man’s Cave, & Rock House; & Lakes: Alma, Hope, & Logan.
• Canoeing, Zipline Canopy Tours, Scenic Railway, Astronomy Park, Vinton County Airport, Wayne National & Zaleski State Forests, horseback riding, fishing, both Hocking College & Ohio University.
• There are no fish that we are aware of in our ponds/lakes, they are man-made pre-1978 and are not stocked. There are several nearby state parks with fishing available for you should you desire to fish. There is NO swimming in the ponds/lakes.
• WiFi satellite internet service is available (ViaSat max speed is 25-50 Mbps), cell service is SPOTTY in the area. Do NOT plan to be able to get cell reception at the home, it tapers off about 2 miles away. A landline is there for your use.

Plenty to do on-site:
* acreage to hike
* a fire pit (do not cut our trees, if firewood is there, please use it, if desired)
* air-hockey and pool table
* poker/card table (chips and cards)
* Books for reading
