This cabin is perfect if you are looking for a quiet get away. It has everything you need along with a hot tub, grill, and firepit. We enjoyed spending time relaxing outside on the porch. Property manager Hannah was also very kind and helpful.
Very cute cabin in the woods!! Centrally located to everything in the Hocking Hills area, 18 minutes from the grocery store in Logan. We had so much fun spending time in the hot tub and cooking in the kitchenette. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting a little rustic cabin getaway!!
Older cabin with a very long gravel driveway that is off the beaten path. I would recommend a 4x4 if you are expecting rain. We enjoyed our stay and will be returning some day.
The cabin was nice. The bed was hard . And the shower needs to be up dated. The way to get the shower started. It very strange. The hot tub was very nice. We enjoyed are stay .
My wife and I and 2 dogs enjoyed our stay. Cabin was perfect, we enjoyed the hot tub after a day of hiking and cabin had everything we needed. Very close proximity to hiking trails and lots of room on property for the dogs. We would stay again.
Beautiful cabin, amazing location, perfect amenities, and the best communication I have encountered. Thank you for a relaxing weekend in Hocking Hills!
We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was so close to Hocking Hills. The property was private and peaceful. The cabin was clean, the kitchen was decently stocked and the hot tub was clean and clear.
The cabin is great, has everything you need, comfortable beds and is very private. Sits half a mile back, best to have suv or truck. Love it, will be back for sure.
Really enjoyed the privacy. Close to the things we wanted to do..
Would suggest.. new mattress, water pressure in shower, and we couldn't the water in the hot tub to heat past 80.. maybe a new frying pan..
Over all. We'd stay again!!
We spent three nights at Ponderosa with our nephew and his daughter. We really enjoyed the remoteness of the cabin at the top of a hill. We saw lots of deer. We spent mornings and afternoons hiking and then soaked in the hot tub in the evenings. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed.
The Ponderosa was a beautiful mountain top location for our escape. We were looking for a peaceful, secluded place to unplug and relax for a few days. We found the perfect place. Every amenity we needed was available. All the adventure we wanted was close by.
This was the perfect cabin for a long weekend in Hocking Hills with my son. It has everything you need at an affordable price: comfy beds, plush couches, hot shower, kitchen and A/C. Plus the hot tub!! It was so perfect after days of hiking. The cabin is definitely nestled down a winding drive; it made you feel so private, peaceful, quiet, serene. However, it’s maybe only a mile around the corner from the State Park and less than 10 minutes from most major trail heads. I would definitely stay there again and bring the rest of the family.
We enjoyed our peaceful, secluded stay at the Ponderosa. The house had everything we needed. The hot tub was great after a day of hiking and we loved seeing the deer in the fields everyday. The host let us know the cabin was ready early for checkin and provided contact info if we needed anything additional (which we didnt). The contactless checkin process was simple and the directions to the property were accurate. There was another house that shared the same driveway, but we did not encounter any other cars on the long driveway during our stay.
Check in was easy, place was very clean. Went hiking in hocking hills on the 2nd day and the wife tripped on a root and rolled 30’ down steep embankment and hit a tree and then went 10’ mare and landed in a creek. Over an 1.5 hours waiting on park personnel to help we started walking out. 2.5 hours later she spent 5 hours in the emergency room in Logan. That’s about all but this had nothing to do with the host. Everything was very nice place to stay Just cut short.
We stayed 9 nights. The cabin is secluded with views over fields on three sides. We used it as a base to explore the trails, forest, caves, water falls and lakes. The location puts it in the heart of the hills with beautiful drives through the forest all around. Deer everywhere. On the property every morning and evening deer were active. A couple of times we saw fawns with the zoomies racing around there mother. The cabin was clean, the bedding was clean and comfortable. The window air conditioner was adequate to keep the cabin comfortable. The host was thoughtful calling or informing us prior to mowing the grass and servicing the hot tub, so as not to interfere with our time. The 1/2 mile gravel driveway was maintained and since we use our vehicle off road we counted it as off road time(lol). We would stay here again if the opportunity arrisses. Thank you Hannah and Patrick for maintaining such a nice cabin.
