Loved the fire pit and the hot tub. The hot tub wasn’t very hot though. It was set at 93 or four and we weren’t allowed to turn it up. The place was fairly clean, except the window blinds needed a good cleaning. We had a great time.

Nice location for Hocking Hills hiking

Everyone in the group enjoyed the property and their stay. It's an older house, so those should be your expectations (and yes, there were some old house quirks). We had 6 in our group, and there was plenty of room. Easy drive to Hocking Hills for day hiking trips and to town for groceries, etc.

Weekend family getaway

The house was clean and very spacious. It was equipped with everything we needed. Great location… close enough to everything we wanted to do. We needed a late arrival on a Friday night which was not an issue at all. Communication with the owners was excellent. When we are back in the area we will definitely be booking the same house or at least something from the same owners.

Christmas stay

The Laurel Run Farmhouse was a great place for our family Christmas. It was so sweet that the house was decorated for the holidays and the Christmas tree was a wonderful touch. It was a good location and we explored the area including Athens, Nelsonville, Cedar Falls, Ash Cave and Old Man Cave. The house was cozy and had great kitchen and ample space for everyone to hang out We enjoyed the hot tub too. Thanks for making a memorable holiday for us at Hocking Hills!
