A perfect anniversary getaway

We loved our stay at the cabin. It was clean, had great amenities and was secluded enough that we didn’t have to worry about noisy neighbors. The hot tub was lovely and cabin was cozy. We loved that we were able to bring our dog. Would definitely stay again.

Just a couple things would have made an easy 5 stars. Seating on the patio by the hot tub, not enough hot water for a bath, and no actual shower stall. The cabin itself was awesome. Plenty of seating for two. Great theme followed throughout. Have additional options for a later checkout. We did pay an extra 20 for two hours that was great but I had to ask the host. Towels and dishes were appreciated. Very clean. And the deer walking the property was refreshing nature.

Cherokee way

It was really nice! We stayed in eagles nest two years ago and decided to come back and do another cabin. The junkyard you have to drive through is a bit off and scary lol but the overall location where the cabins sit is really nice ! Thank you!

Lacking comfortable couch

For the most part, our stay was good. Very nice setting! It was warm, quiet and cozy.The windows inside the cabin were filthy and the couch was super uncomfortable and it was very hard to get out of it. My husband and i both had spinal fusions so we really struggled to get off the loveseat

Weekday getaway

We had a great stay at colonel’s quarters near New Straitsville in Hocking Hills Area. Easy check-in. Comfy bed. Nice hot tub. Privacy even with another cabin nearby. Only complaints would be fix the toilet seat and oven door (or maybe even consider a complete replacement for stove) Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning in the future!

Cute place

I really don't understand the bad reviews about this place. There were a few things at the cabin that were broke but not a big deal. We also had the wrong door code as others have mentioned, but as soon as I called they answered and gave us the right one. It was a nice getaway for my husband and our dogs.

Great overall

Overall the cabin was great! The hide-a-key described in the check-in instructions was not there. Thankfully, the code provided worked. It would have been helpful to have instructions on how to lock the cabin door - took a few tries to figure out. Property manager did not respond to my messaged request for early check-in.

Cute, quaint, humble getaway

The cabin and location were just what we needed to get away for a while. Our dogs are terrified of fireworks so we left the city and stayed at Cherokee Way over the 4th of July. The hosts didn’t reach out to give any information (verification or check in details) until I sent several messages, but that may just be how they operate. They were available immediately when we called bc the fireplace was stuck on when we got there (it was in the 80s). It was clean and had all of the amenities that were needed. There isn’t much hiking or trails nearby, it’s at least a half hour drive, but worth it. I would definitely stay again.

Definitely secluded

Other cabins are in sight, but it is definitely secluded. I made the mistake of going in February. Though the cabin is heated and the gas fireplace did work, it was still very cold. I wanted a hot bath, and didn't want to brave the cold temperatures to get into the hot tub on the porch, so I attempted drawing a bath, and the hot water cut out half through. The wifi kept cutting out before I could watch anything. Luckily I had brought textbooks to study, but my dog and I were uncomfortable from the cold and left the next day. If I had chosen a warmer month, it might have been more enjoyable.

Disappointing

The first thing we noticed when we entered, the cabin was what we think was stale cigarette smoke being covered up by Febreze. The hot tub water smelled very musty and looked cloudy. Maintenance promptly came to clean the filter and add chemicals, but it did not take away the musty odor and we did not use the hot tub. The mattress was uncomfortable. The bathroom was VERY small and there was no shower. There was a jetted bathtub, however, the hot water tank did not have enough capacity to fill the tub and utilize the jets. Especially when considering the price we do not recommend.

The bed was terrible to sleep in. All we wanted was a relaxing night to get uninterrupted sleep, kid free. That did not happen. The mattress was terrible. The only good thing was the hot tub. The couch was tiny and not comfortable either.

Perfect Couples Cabin

Cabin was a perfect size , very clean and secluded. Fireplace and hot tub were nicer than we expected. The only thing we would change is the mattress could be a little better. For the money, this was a fantastic stay … would book again!
