We had a wonderful time at your beautiful little cabin. This quiet little cabin and secluded retreat was exactly what we were hoping for. The cabin is small but had absolutely everything we needed. The beautiful view from the porch was breathtaking and so relaxing to sip tea and enjoy every morning. The fishing from the dock was a big plus. We were visited ( and entertained) by the huge sea turtle we name Herman by the dock every evening. We would love to rent again! Although the hot tub was ready and available it was way to hot to use but will plan to next visit.

Fantastic - private and beautiful

Just a stunning location, so private and peaceful. The lake is a dream to look at any time of the day, and the cabin is wonderfully situated in private woods. Everything you need for a great retreat is provided, and while simple, its perfect. The host is extremely responsive, and was wonderful to work with. Highly recommend this cabin, we have been to Hocking Hills many time, this by far is the best location we have ever stayed in. The bed in the master is hard, if you are a soft mattress sleeper bring along a foam mat.

The property was even more gorgeous than the pictures showed. Super peaceful if you're looking for quiet from your busy life. We're parents of 2 kiddos with support needs so this was the best reset for us. We definitely plan to go back, maybe in the summer so we can utilize the lake more
