Beautiful lot with no privacy

Communication was good. We spent a lot of money and felt watched and listened to the whole time due to the amount of cameras everywhere at the property along with a camera in the garage and basement which can pick up talking. Camera pointed at the hot tub didn’t sit well with us and felt watched so we put a piece of tape of the camera for privacy and was contacted right away so I felt watched. Hard to relax with cameras pointed at you every angle. Ice maker didn’t work, hot water heater wasn’t hot enough to get bath tub full but it sleeps 12 people. Fire place in bedroom didn’t work. The amount of Japanese beetles inside the home was terrible. Ended up in our drinks and food. We made them aware of all of this and only received an apology. No offer of credit or refund. We had my daughter and daughter in law in their bikinis and they were not comfortable with the cameras. There are postings but not on all cameras or the ones that are hidden up on the trees. I felt for spending a ton of money for barely 2 full days to relax and celebrate, it was not worth the price at all. So if privacy and amenities is a factor, this is not the place at all. The owners quick responses was the only perk of this rental and the large lot.

Clean house, friendly owners and all the amenities you need

We enjoyed our time at The Grounds with our three young kids. The water slide was a hit! We used the firepit every night. We walked to the pond every day. The kids loved it so much that our hikes were short and our time at the house as a family was the highlight.

first trip to Hocking Hills

Our family really enjoyed our first trip to Hocking Hills. The house and property were very clean. It's also close to Hocking Hills State Park allowing for almost daily hiking trips. The only issue we had (with being in a remote area) was connectivity problems with the GPS. However after the first few days, we knew how to get around.
