We had a fantastic weekend at this cabin over OU’s Dads’ Weekend. The cabin was very clean, and the hosts go out of their way to make sure the cabin is stocked with everything you need for your stay. The property is secluded and private. We enjoyed the trails, fire pit, decks, and game room. While it was just 2 of us, there would have been more than enough room for our family of 5.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Everything you would need was provided, over and above any place we've ever stayed. The nature was amazing. A bird watcher's paradise! The beds are comfortable, and the decor is centered around the name of the cabin, Chubby Frog, and is rightly named for the charming pond where frogs hang out. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay at the cabin. The little extras like the snacks and walkie talkies were that little bit that made the stay all the more worthwhile. The location felt a little remote, but it was nice to be away from the hub bub and the stars were spectacular to see. And the hottub was invaluable after long days of hiking. The only thing I would say is that it was a little smaller than the pictures made it seem. With 5 people we still managed alright. Vicki's instructions ahead of time and all the info at the cabin show they take pride in their rental and making sure their guests have what they need.

Get away from it all!

Chubby Frog has just about anything one could want! We stayed with 6 adults but the cabin was stocked for all ages. The hosts think of absolutley everything from bug spray to marshmellows. Its remote, quiet, and private. Huge highlight is all the wildlife. We will be back again.

Perfect secluded cabin

We enjoyed our stay at the Chubby Frog cabin very much. The cabin was well stocked and clean and had everything you could think of for a great family weekend...games and puzzles, binoculars and bird guides, walkie talkies, campfire supplies (including s'more ingredients!), bug spray, towels, recommendations for where to go and what to do in the area including maps, detailed information about every aspect of the cabin amd the area, etc. ...and the hosts could not have been more helpful when we had an issue with one of our cars right before leaving. I highly recommend this gem of a place!

We stayed at the Chubby Frog Cabin for 5 days and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The location is perfect—peaceful, scenic, and surrounded by nature. We saw plenty of wildlife during our stay, which made the trip even more special.The cabin itself was spotless and well-stocked with everything we needed. It’s clear that the owners take great care to make sure guests are comfortable. Speaking of the owners—they were amazing. There was an unexpected issue with the WiFi (not their fault), and they went above and beyond by coming out that same evening with a hotspot. This was a huge help since my wife is a grad student and had assignments due.Communication throughout was excellent. The owners were incredibly responsive and made us feel well taken care of from start to finish.Highly recommend the Chubby Frog Cabin—we’d definitely stay here again

Fantastic!!

This place has it all!! With 3 bedrooms, each with their own en suite bath, makes it perfect for a family, girls weekend or a getaway with friends. The property was very clean upon our arrival and stocked with lots of amenities. The owners supplied everything we needed for our stay from towels and linens to soaps, toothbrushes, paper products, laundry detergent, first aid suppplies, plus so much more! They even graciously provided a partially stocked fridge and freezer and a ton of snacks and pantry items! The location is perfect! Very secluded with tons of wildlife to watch. My 7 yr old especially, loved putting extra food(provided by owners) out for the animals and then waiting to watch them all devour it! Deer, raccoons, squirrels, giant turkeys and so many dfferent kinds of beautiful birds just to name a few! This cabin is just a short drive to all the local attractions, Old man's cave was probably our favorite. I highly recommend staying here, I know we will next time we are in the Hocking Hill area!
