Hocking Hills Mesa Lodge

Overall very good. Unfortuneately the remnants of hurricane/tropical storm Helene knocked out the power shortly before our arrival, something the property owners had no control off. There were plenty of emergency lights and the propane cook top worked so we were able to prepare most of our food. The owners hooked up a generator that powered the 110V outlets and shut it off when the power was restored. Great place for a large group (10 - 20 people) that don't mind preparing their own meals (a little far to drive into the nearest town).

Family Reunion

We gathered for a family reunion(ages 1-84)....It was a great property!! Lots of room, clean, well stocked. Nice large table allowing for the group to eat together. New ice/water machine was awesome. Comfortable beds. Easy to communicate with owners and very helpful. Had somethig for everyone-pond with paddle boat and fishing, big yard toys, vollleyball, Hot tub, nice rocking chairs on front porch, firepit. Wide open grassy space and several paths throughout property. Even had some kids toys, highchair and gates. It was about 20mins from Ash cave, Cedar Falls Hike and 25mins to the Hockinghills visitor center. Would definitely stay again.

Happy Hocking

Cathy has arranged, from what I've been stayed in, the single best property for larger groups in Hocking Hills. Very spacious without being empty, very well decorated without being cluttered, all of the cabin feel without the smell of pine on your clothes weeks later. Cathy herself was a treat as well. She was kind of enough to introduce herself when we checked in and went above and beyond to stop by each day to make sure the hot tub's chemical levels were in balance. This was our last time going to Hocking Hills, but this was the place to go out on!

READ BEFORE BOOKING

The property itself and the surrounding area is lovely. However, there are several red flags. 1) The owner tried to charge us $450 after our stay for "damages" incurred during our weekend. One of those "damages" was a cigarette burn and she said she found cigarette butts in the ashtray.... but absolutely no one in my group is a smoker and/or has ever smoked. She would not remove the charge even when I told her this. 2) There are more rules than I have ever encountered in any VRBO; these rules were not available to me until after I had paid for the nonrefundable stay. I.e. your internet is limited to 20 GB for your ENTIRE stay (which is basically unheard of in this day of unlimited wifi) and if you go over, she charges you for every GB. Other rules include you can't move any of the furniture, you can't use any candles other than tea lights she provides, and you can't use an excessive amount of ice (or you will be charged). TLDR: Despite the beauty of the house and the surroundings, the stay is probably not worth the headache in trying to fight erroneous charges and worry about the many rules.

Beautiful house and property!

This is our third year there and we love it! The place is absolutely beautiful and has everything we need and more to enjoy our stay. So much to do outside with fishing and using the paddle boats in the pond to playing volleyball or cornhole or taking a walk on one of the trails. We also love visiting on the wrap around porch with lots of rocking chairs and tables to sit at and enjoy playing games. The ceiling fans provide a nice breeze! We enjoy sitting around the fire pit and roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. Lots of room inside for our large group to enjoy as well. We love the long table in the dining room and the open concept where we can all be together. The owners are absolutely wonderful and provide everything we need!! Thank you for another great vacation!

Beautiful property and Lodge

We went with a large group and it was the perfect cabin! Best one we’ve stayed in with so many of us. The property was well maintained and there was space for everyone in the house without feeling cramped or on top of one another. Hiking trails on property, volley ball, Coe hole, hot tub…it was so much fun! The owners on site were wonderful! They kept in touch and were there if we needed them but not intrusive whatsoever. Great people! Thanks again for welcoming us, we will all be back because it was the best place we’ve found so far!!
