Buona Vita | Hocking Hills

A private, gated driveway leads up to the cabin, nestled off a wooded summit and separated by a beautiful walking bridge. A wrap-around deck provides views of a seemingly endless forest. A large gravel parking area provides for fantastic star gazing on clear nights. A fire pit surrounded by four comfortable Adirondack chairs can be accessed via stone steps from the cabin or the parking lot. Unique to Hocking Hills is the separate sauna and bathhouse on the backside of the cabin. Must be 25 years or older to rent. AWD/4WD recommended in all seasons.

We loved this place! Clean with plenty of room for the six of us. We took full advantage of the fire pit and the hot tub was a great place to watch a storm blow through.

We had a great couple of days here the fall leaves were beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed the decks and the fire pit area was our favorite spot. I’m pretty picky about cleanliness and everything was very clean. We watched a movie on the projector and the cooked breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen. We had a little problem with Google maps taking us to the wrong place. I sent a message and they were very quick to get back with me.

Everything was very clean! Home was the perfect size for us.very remote location and beautiful surroundings. Was told two or three days before our trip that the projector wouldn’t be working which is one of the top reasons we chose this home-the theatre room. They offered a small discount, brought my own projector and hooked up…but kind of a pain. All in all was a very nice stay.

Loved the Sauna & Shower house

The cabin was clean & had all the amenities we needed. The hot tub was a great addition although the only setting on the jets was high & some jets didn't work at all.

Relaxing weekend away

We had a wonderful time at the cabin over a long weekend. Even got a snowy Hocking Hills day which was magical. The hot tub and sauna were definitely highlights of the stay. We had a couple of glitches while there that were quickly remedied. It is well water, so some sulfur smell is a possibility. The property managers were quick to take action and even plowed out the drive after the beautiful snowy Sunday!

Perfect, quiet getaway!

The cabin, sauna and hot tub were perfect! The property was very clean and tastefully decorated. We really enjoyed the theater room with projection screen and surround sound. Would definitely stay here again! We only had one issue, finding the place! It is very remote , rural and private. We did call the host for clarification of directions but did not receive a call back at all. . Other than that, we had no issues.

Great Cabin in the Woods!!

The pictures dont do it justice!! This is probably our favorite VRBO rental to date!! It was enough off the beaten path to let us relax, but close enough to the park and Logan for stuff to do! We pretty much lived on the back porch. It was a great place to drink coffee in the morning, watch a family of wild turkeys in the afternoon, and listen to spooky podcasts at night! The cabin really made our first time to Hocking Hills special! Rent this place, you wont be disappointed!!

Buona Vita lives up to its name. Everything about it indicates that it is "the good life."

This was our fourth or fifth time staying here. The cabin is beautiful, and it's set on a quiet piece of land, perfect for a relaxing getaway. That said, we found the overall booking process and financials to be quite confusing. We couldn't tell what we were being charged for and what we weren't being charged for. That needs some work.

Serene and Peaceful

We loved the privacy and all of the features this place offered. Had a minor issue with the hot tub but maintenance was quick to help and we got it working quickly. Our favorite part was probably the home theater. We loved our stay here and it was clean and beautiful. One thing i would Caution future guests about is our GPS tried to take us up an extremely steep hill when finding the place and it was terrifying. It was a utility line hill. Do not go up the hill with no address listed lol

Wish we could have stayes longer

Home is beautiful. Great location. Appreciated clarity of home binder/labeling of electrical/ordered labeling of remotes in theatre room. Only concern: cold faucet handle in lower level bathroom may have a bad cartridge. Leaked and had difficulty getting it to turn off once.

Really enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay… our families stayed here and at dolce vita which are connected by a path. It was perfect for our extended family vacation. Took the family out hiking at ash cave and rock house, perfect for our older (65) and younger (2) travelers! The accommodations were well stocked with supplies and everything needed. Loved the hot tub and updated bathrooms. Good location. The only sour part of the trip was the broken Roku remote in the movie room.. so we couldn’t use the movie room. They were responsive when we reported the problem but we never got a new remote. Also, if you struggle with the odor/smell of well water, this water was very sulfur smelling and I wouldn’t recommend staying.

Great cabin tucked away in the woods

Our stay was great, we were there for 2 nights. When we arrived our AC wasn’t working, but the managers of the cabin were able to send someone out and have it working by 9 pm. Our WiFi also didn’t work much all weekend. We were hoping to have some college football games on, but weren’t really able to do so. I get we’re in hocking hills, but they advertise working WiFi, and it wasn’t working. Definitely should upgrade their pillows. Bring your own for sure. The space was incredibly clean and private. There was plenty of room and the four of us were comfortable. We definitely would consider returning
