Partake in some catch and release fishing in the private pond right in front of the cabin, the second private pond on the lower portion of the property, or at Sand Run Lake. While you are out exploring the ponds, make sure you check out the Sand Run Lake Picnic area and wander into the forest filled with pine tree. If you have a hammock, we recommend bringing it and taking it here. The wooden swing, located by the pond, allows you to become one with nature. There is a newly renovated gravel firepit with wooden benches and Adirondack chairs for you and your guests to create memories of a lifetime around the campfire. You can end your night by relaxing and unwinding in the warm Spa. Before heading to bed, make sure you and your guests check out the gorgeous, open starry night sky because that’s not something you get to experience all the time.

Thanks for the great review! We're glad to hear that you and your family could enjoy a peaceful getaway in the Hocking Hills! The quiet setting is one of our favorite parts of the experience as well. We're glad we could provide a relaxing break from city life and we hope to welcome all three of you back for another stay in the future!
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.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the location of our vacation rental. It’s great to know that our guests appreciate the convenience and beauty of the area as much as we do. We hope to welcome you back for another stay soon!

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 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.
Everything was really nice. Great kitchen, lication and peace and quiet.

Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the kitchen, location, and peaceful setting at White Tail. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay!
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.

Family of 6. Sleeps 8 but there only 3 kitchen table chairs. The master bedroom doesn’t have a door. The water was so hard, the inside of the toilet tank was corroded and didn’t function sometimes. The hot tub was off and didn't heat up until the night before we left (3 nights in). The mattresses were really thin and lumpy. We had to drive to a store for check in and check out. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. The acreage is gorgeous. The house was very clean.
