A great spot for a family weekend getaway

We had a great time exploring Hockings Hills area from this ‘home base.’ The cabin was wonderful for our group, giving everyone space to spread out but a comfortable place to hang together, too.

Great property for a family vacation.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. We really enjoyed the swimming pool and deck. Large house was very accommodating for our large family with enough beds and table room for everyone. It is a bit of a drive to Hocking Hills from here but that wasnt really a big problem.

Hocking Hills Hiking

This was a great place to stay for a family of hikers. Spent time hiking at Hocking Hills State Park and Lake Hope State Park. The house was centrally located between these parks. We hike in the morning, swim in the afternoon and then grill-out in the evening. Great times! The free WIFI was very handy as our phones had no signal on the Verizon network.

Had a great time. The pond was not able to be fished easily and it would’ve helped to have a kayak.

The Kaisers

We had a great family vacation. Due to the warm weather, the pool was a total hit with the whole gang! The hot tub wasn't working but someone came out as soon as I informed them that it had all drained out. We were not going to use it anyway. The evenings around the campfire and the smores over the fire were wonderful. Thank you so much!

Everything you need plus a little more!

I checked in online and thought the process was great. I didn’t realize I needed to stop by the business and go over paperwork and pick up the key. A little miscommunication when the cell service is spotty.my daughter stopped on her way to the property and handled everything and was just fine. Beautiful property! The cabin was stocked and immaculately clean. Very private and great setting. The hot tub should have been completely drained and cleaned. We did use the grill, fire ring, oven, and stove. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, and everything you need. Beds were perfect, The smart tv had every channel imaginable. Great get away.

3 major things that needs addressed- pool made the say worth it.

I emailed the people directly about all my concerns but the 3 major things that need fixed and addressed before I return is - First the housekeepers need to check under rugs and sweep and mop better- there was a lot of dog food and hair and dust under the big rug underneath the big dining room table Second the hot tub just needs replaced- I saw before booking that there was issues but it’s beyond repair just cause both screens didn’t work one was taped up and the other didn’t do anything- if it’s a amenity that is advertised and I’m sure raises the price of the property it should be working at its full potential. Lastly the upstairs shower needs fixed majorly! One of my girls tried to take a shower and the cold Nob fell off and we couldn’t get the water to shut off even by putting the nob back on- we think it’s stripped out or something. Then the tub kept filling up and finally we just had to figure out where the main shut off was on the other side of the wall in the main room upstairs. This could have caused lots of water damage to the property let alone not a good experience for the person who finds the problem. Other than these 3 main things that are easily fixable if they take the time to just fix it. Me and my girls had a good time playing games we brought and swimming in the pool - if it wasn’t for the nice pool then it wouldn’t be worth it much.

Lack of communication

I emailed several times and called just to receive 1 email back from 1st Choice Property Management. We stayed from Sunday to Friday and I received the email on Tuesday with no further communication from them. We had some problems with the House 1. Leak in refrigerator (looked at couldn’t fix) 2. Bathroom upstairs no hot water (they did fix this) 3. Bedroom downstairs couldn’t use lights something wrong with switch could be a potential fire hazard. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. They do need to update some appliances. The location was great close to the caves and other activities in the area.

Amazing stay!

We had the most amazing time here! The pictures show a swing set, but there is no swing set, and the property manager was very clear and upfront about that, which I greatly appreciate! And, other than that, the only downside was there were a few things we needed to clean up when we got there, but it was no big deal! They talked to us through our stay to check on us! The hot tub worked perfectly! The property is huge, and priced very well! The communication with the manager was amazing! This place is our new favorite place in the Hocking Hills area, and we will DEFINITELY stay here again! Thank you guys so much!
