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.

Best Family Getaway

Weve stayed at Kickback Cabin a few times. It was just as good this time as it was 5 years ago. We loved being back in the woods. Very peaceful, beautiful and the best wildlife. The cabin is super comfortable and met every need we had. We will definitely be back.

Peaceful getaway

We had a great time hiking the trails and coming home to a clean, quiet, and relaxing atmosphere at the kick back cabin! The cabin is tucked away from every day life and very private. We brought food with us and stayed in during the evenings. It’s the perfect place to unwind, sit outside, and read a book. We brought our dog and the fenced in area was super convenient early in the morning. We just wish we would have stayed longer!! We’re very thankful to nick and Shannon for making our stay such a great experience. Luke, Brooks, and I hope you have a great summer! We hope to stay there again one day.

Wonderful Quaint Cabin

Overall, the property was exactly as described—a charming cabin nestled in the woods. We enjoyed the peaceful setting, abundant wildlife, and access to winding trails around the property.A few things to note for future guests:•While the location feels remote, it’s not entirely quiet—there was occasional road noise and distant sounds of shooting.•The Wi-Fi is sufficient for light browsing, but not ideal for extensive remote work.That said, the setting and charm of the cabin made for a memorable stay—and we’d definitely consider returning in the future.

Spring Weekend at Kick Back

We enjoyed a relaxing stay at Kick Back.No surprises from description and not much to add that isn't already addressed in other reviews.Pros for us: king bed, bedroom on same floor as bathroom (although bathroom is on opposite end of cabin), economical (but could use a few repairs), secluded enough without needing 4wd to access. Gas fireplace definitely kept us warm on rainy, chilly nights. Hot tub is a little older, but clean and enjoyable (need to warm it up prior to using it).We didn't get on the trails due to the rain, but saw deer on property on first night and various birds around the cabin.All in all, a great stay that fit our needs and budget.
