  • The beautiful view overlooking Lake Hope, the namesake of the 2,983-acre Lake Hope State Park. The park lies entirely within the 26,824-acre Zaleski State Forest. The park provides opportunities for #hiking, swimming, fishing, camping, photography, dining, and general R&R. The park even has a really cool summer program where you can feed hummingbirds from your hand! You hold a vial of sugar water at arm's length and from out of nowhere the hummingbirds start appearing! If you're steady and patient, they'll begin to feed right in front of you!

Just some suggestions

The location of this property was great with easy access to the Forest. The cabin itself was pretty cool and has a lot of potential. It needs some TLC and it would have been nice to have check out and check in instructions, better cookware and decent silverware. The living room furniture was super comfy! Overall, we had a great time!

Great for family gatherings

Place was as pictured clean and easy to get to and was a great price and suited our needs. Our only issue was heat. Despite thermostat being set on 75 + we couldn't get the heat in the cabin up past 62* knocked a star off for this issue.

OU family weekend stay

Last minute booking for OU family weekend. If you like no light polution and surrounded by nature this is for you! Pretty much no frills, but beautiful surroundings. Check in was easy, Gentry is a very pleasant and polite host. Went over everything very well. Cell service is pretty sketchy on the drive, but the wifi at the canin is solid.

Launch Pad

I was new to the area. The Chalet was 20-30 minutes from so many of the hiking spots I was hoping to check out. The cabin was clean, warm, and comfortable. It is older and the appliances while not new all worked. The hot tub was perfectly hot! It has one master bedroom and a great loft for bunking children. The host was very responsive to all my questions, especially when I was a little lost upon arrival, as it was in the dark in the woods. He responded immediately to help Me get into the cabin address easily.

Weekend Birthday

We booked this place do to its size and how they allowed parties. I needed a bigger space for my party to he thrown. Fits us all really comfortable we had a blast! So beautiful big and fun! The down fall, we get there later then 4 cause my hours ran over at work. The door knob on the inside of the front door. Came right off! I messaged the host the second it happened. There is no closets or places to put your things away if you plan on staying longer then a couple days and finally there was not alot of toilet paper. I know it can be overlooked sometimes. But please more toilet paper. We loved our stay, the hottub was amazing and the emmories i made that weekend were amazing. Side note. My man Proposed to me Saturday night, infront of all our friends. This place will ALWAYS be my favorite spot. Thank you so much. You helped make a memory of a life time.

Quiet with NO LIGHT POLLUTION.

My husband and i loved this cabin. Then we had friends come the next day and they loved it. It was quiet, no cars, no light pollution so you could really see the stars while in the hot tub. My dog loved being able to have area to run and explore. Our host Gentry was friendly, quick to respond to any questions, concerns, or problems we had. We did not have any problems except one night the power went out. It was a very cold night. We ended up leaving a day early but Gentry did reimburse us for the night not used. He did get power restored but we were already 1 hour away from the property. We are planning to stay again next yr. If you need firewood...Ask Gentry! The trash receptacle is at the cabin next door. You will have everything you need and shopping is only 24 mins away if you do need more. Disclaimer: You are in a cabin in the woods and hills of Hocking Hills Ohio...There will be bugs. It is NOT a big deal! Since it was warmer there than in Indiana...We saw stink bugs, ladybugs and the occasional fly...nothing else. Once again...It's NOT that big of a deal! Moving on...Had a great time and will stay again. Thank You Gentry for your hospitality. The Reese's

Lovely little cabin. Very cozy. Cabin could use a nice deep clean but it wasn't dirty. Just a little dusty. Nothing that would keep us from renting the cabin again in the future. We would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat. It had the basic necessities and the host was kind enough to leave cardboard in the fire ring for a fire starter. Hot tub was perfect! Communication was great as well. Such a peaceful place. If available for our next trip we will return.
