The cabin was everything we expected. The kitchen had everything we needed when cooking. The bathroom had enough towels to last a week, but we were only there three nights. I was really impressed. We will definitely be back.

The hot tub had a issue when we arrived. The 2nd day i had to turn the power off and reset it to get the temp to go up. One of the bedroom doors was broken out of the frame and missing.

Thanks for the feedback & review! We do appreciate it. We did check the hot tub prior to your arrival and it was heating & running at that time. We check prior to each guest stay. Hot tubs are mechanical which may require the breaker to be reset.

Although I disliked having to stop at a business to pick up and return the key, the clerk who took care of me both times was friendly and helpful and made it less troublesome.The cabin is smaller than it seems in the pictures but was clean and comfortable. The steps down to the basement are tall and hard on my old knees. I think it would be a really nice warm weather stay! We still had a good weekend.

Clean. Appliances abundant and all functional Kitchen well stocked with dishes and pans. Outside grill works well.The upstairs was warmish with air on. But it was 80 degrees out. Downstairs air much more powerful. Should reverse their placement as downstairs is cool without air on. Scenery from the porch quite peaceful. Dog (and guests) spent most of the time there. Not recommended for people who have hard time with or cant do stairs.

The cabin is clean and cozy along with the surrounding walls it is a great place to view in the morning and evening highly recommended for Hocking Hills stay super close and I’ll be attractions and downtown but far enough out of the way you won’t be bothered by anything else but yourself

Cole, we are very delighted that you enjoyed your stay at our White Tail Cabin. We agree - it is in the perfect location! Close to Hocking Hills, Wayne National Forest, & local towns but far enough away to feel like you're alone in the forest! We hope to have you back again. - 1st Choice Cabin Rentals
