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.

What an awesome place! Beautiful and clean inside. We had plenty of space for the six of us. We took full advantage of the fire pit (and smores) and the hot tub was a great place to watch it rain and the sway of the trees. Plus, the place is only 16 minutes from Old Man's Cave and great hiking!

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.

Relaxing Week

We had a great time staying at this location. Cabin was perfect for our family. My teenaged daughters had enough space for them (when they needed it) and my husband and I got to enjoy all the amenities offered. Loved the time here- so peaceful! So sad our trip is over. Would 100% recommend.

The house and property were amazing! We had no issues. Everything was very clean! The kitchen was stocked very well. A great extra touch were robes that could be used when getting out of the sauna and hot tub! The kids loved the fire pit and large screen in the basement for watching movies. I spent many hours disconnecting from everything and just reading on the amazing deck. It was quiet and tranquil to just sit and listen to the birds.

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

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.

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!

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.

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
