Loved staying at this cabin in the woods. Very private, quiet and relaxing. Despite all the attractions in Hocking Hills we spent a lot of time just hanging out with our 2 dogs. Nice trails right out the door. Would love to go back! Kick Back cabin is a very appropriate name.

Kick Back Cabin was in a great location in the woods, private & had lots of great amenities including being pet friendly. It was very clean & the hot tub was crystal clear & clean. We enjoyed the fire pit both nights as well. The only downside was the couch wasn't very comfortable & the decor could use a few updates. The door handle to the front door should also be replaced.I would definitely recommend this cabin, especially if you have a dog! Fenced in area & fenced in deck area - both w/ doggy doors!

My partner and i stayed at the kick back cabin as a long weekend getaway and it was perfect. The cabin is gorgeous and nestled in the woods so it was so relaxing and private. Cell service is super spotty at the cabin which was a perfect way to force us to disconnect from our phone and just enjoy nature. The cabin was super dog friendly with doggy doors to the fenced in yard and patio. It was amazing to be able to bring our dog with us on the trip. The drive to the wayne national park was super easy and the hikes there are gorgeous. I definitely recommend checking them our during your stay. If youre looking for a beautiful nature retreat i definitely recommend booking this VRBO!

The cabin was nice, clean, well maintained. Kitchen and grill worked. All furnishings were in good condition. There were family games, small collection of DVDs. Hot tub worked well. The only issue was the WIFI was very poor to barely functioning. Really need a more reliable WIFI/internet in this geography where Verizon & ATT cell phone coverage is spotty.

4th of July Getaway

Great location and such a wonderful cabin that had everything we needed! However, we were very disappointed in the fenced in yard for our little pup. It was a huge selling point for our choice in cabins and sadly it was a big let down. Looked nothing like the picture. In fact I wouldn’t even let our little guy step foot (paws) in it. So over grown, weeds galore and most of the yard was dirt. If you’re looking for a nice cabin with an awesome location this will work but don’t base your choice solely on the dog yard unless it gets a major landscape makeover.

Perfect place to stay when you want some peace and quite, felt very cozy, wifi is kinda spotty but that's what one should expect when staying that far back in the woods.
