POND IN THE PINES CABIN -COMPLETELY RENOVATED ON 27 ACRES - POND-HOCKING HILLS

Nestled on 27 very private wooded acres with a one-acre pond and private walking trails, The Pond in the Pines Cabin is a nature lover's dream. Catch and release fish from our beautiful pond from the bank or use our small rowboat or paddle board. Guests assume all risk when exploring our property and pond. The star gazing is UNREAL with almost no artificial light! Within 15 to 20 minutes of Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Lake Hope State Park and many other attractions including the haunted Moonville tunnel. The cabin has privacy and a central location to Hocking, Vinton and Athens County. Feeling like a glass of wine and some food? We are 2 miles from the Le Petit Chevalier Vinyards! Traveling with an infant/toddler? We provide a full-size portable crib! The great room has a 60-inch smart TV with HDMI Cord and a Nintendo Switch. We are one of the few cabins in the area that has great cell service and WIFI. If you are traveling with your well-behaved canine companion we provide bowls, an indoor bed and a cot on the deck. Dogs only please with a $50 fee per stay, with a 2 dog maximum.
























The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Traci was an amazing host! She was super responsive to all of my questions and requests and even checked in after day 1 to see how everything was going. She left the sweetest note along with a bottle of wine and some delicious brownies. This personal touch transitioned into the adorable house as well. Not only was it super cute, she has thought of everything! The kitchen was well stocked and she’s gone above and beyond to provide extras throughout the home! The beds were super comfortable and there were plenty of towels, not often do I see this! I literally cannot think of one thing that she hasn’t thought of…thank you Traci:-)!

It was simply amazing! This will be our fourth year coming to Hocking Hills and by far the BEST accommodations we have experienced. Our pups came with us to and it was so very special to see dog bowls & beds all ready for them when we walked into the cabin. The trails on the property were beautiful! Communication with the host was perfect. We had not one issue or complaint during our stay. There is no doubt in our mind that we will come back here on our next stay and the stays after that. We so appreciate everything the hosts did to make their cabin a home away from home for us.

We returned to Pond in the Pines cabin to celebrate a birthday and fall break recently. Another amazing stay that exceeded our expectations once again! We were greeted by a super clean and stocked cabin with thoughtful birthday treats from Traci (owner). I staff by my review from last year, all you need to bring is the people and food…everything else is provided! We enjoyed fishing, hiking/exploring the property and off (we did 3 new to us hikes around the state park and forest this year), bonfires and a movies inside on a rain day. Soooo relaxing, we can’t wait to return again next fall!

Such a great place for everyone in our group. Traci took care to provide amenities especially for our dogs as well as our grandkids , plus everything you can think of for enjoy the property inside and out! The cabin is located on a well manicured LARGE lawn and surrounded by forest so you feel like your in your own “private Idaho” (in Ohio:-)) plenty of place for the dogs to run! The pond is down a path and has been beautifully maintained. The water was lovely to swim and boat. We wish we had had time to try out the kayak and fishing!The house has three spacious bedrooms and a great room which was really nice for us all to gather. There are several outdoor seating areas to choose to gather from the screened in front porch, to the private back porch to the fire pit surrounded by adirondack chairs. We had lots of activities planned for our stay, but we all agreed that we could have had an even better vacation if we would have spent all our time right there on the land- hiking the trails, playing in the pond and star gazing under the dark dark skies.

This is a wonderful home. My daughter's is attending OU in the fall and we stayed at this property during her orientation. This is an amazing home within the Hocking Hills area. Wonderful amenities and the perfect size for our family of 5. If you are traveling with dogs i highly recommend. Traci provided leashes, tie outs, and beds. The hosts were extremely accommodating and provided excellent communication both prior to and during our stay!!

We spent spring break with our 4 school age children and this property was perfect! The home was so charming and CLEAN! The pond on the property was breathtaking and our favorite place to hang out. The extra accommodations like life vests, toys, tables for evenings around the fire, and so many more well thought out details were appreciated and enjoyed! Great place for families or a few adult couples to get away! Highly recommend!

Views are beautiful, and hiking paths to the pond were enjoyable to walk. The house is well stocked with items you may need, very clean and beds were comfortable. We felt very secure at the location. Would recommend this cabin to anyone who seeks peace and guiet and to enjoy nature. This would be a good place for families with children who would like to give them an experience with nature.

Ideal Cabin & Property

What a great property and location..... We visit the area multiple times per year and have rented many different cabins. Some good, some not so good. No need to search for anything different now. The cabin was extremely clean and exactly as promised in the listing and photos. The 27 acre property is very well maintained, with an established trail system and pond to hike and explore. Plenty of time can be spent on the property, in addition to being in close proximity (but not too close!) to the usual (popular) hiking locations. Little details matter, and we appreciated that everything was well thought of in advance. Traci was a great host, with clear instructions and communication. No complaints here! We will be back....

Can’t wait to go back!!

Best way to describe this property, all you need to do is insert people and food, everything else has been provided! The property is so unique and beautiful, the owners have taken so much care in renovating the house and caring for the land and pond. A few tips/notes, the trail to the pond is off the backyard and is very well established and not too far of a walk, halfway to the pond is a well marked split with signs to continue to the pond or veer off to a trail path. Note, the walk back up to the house gets a bit steep, great workout! We enjoyed so much time at the pond fishing, paddle boarding and boating. My husband was the big winner with catching 26 over our 3 days! We purchased worms/bait from a gas station about 10 miles down the road on the way to Hocking Hills State Park to hike. We brought our own fishing poles but the owners do provide a couple fishing poles and lures as well. Our three kids really enjoyed the paddle boats and the fishing boat that were provided as well. We also really enjoyed the well established trails throughout the property, lots of different trails…very calm and serene. My husband and I enjoyed morning coffee, walking the trails or sitting by the pond each morning! We didn’t get to go to JimBo’s restaurant because they were closed Monday-Wednesday, but did check out Mains in McArthur for burgers/ice cream, yum! we are looking very forward to rebooking this property for fall break next year and extending our stay! Jump on this unique find!

Most wonderful place!

Before we even got to the house, I was in contact with Traci the owner with a few questions. She was the most helpful hostess I have ever communicated with! When I say the house was clean, it was spotless! You could take a white glove and not find one speck of dust anywhere! Even the globes on the ceiling fans were spotless. They provide everything, dish and dishwasher soap, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, TONS of nice fluffy towels, laundry soap and dryer sheets. They even have cleaning supplies in case of spills or whatever! The furniture was clean, new and comfortable, the beds, sheets and mattresses were wonderful, I even asked about the mattresses to see about buying for my own home, Traci sent me the link right away! They have just about every appliance you would want to use in the kitchen. Besides your clothes and food, you don't need to bring anything else. The TV has Roku and Netflix and other apps the WIFI was fast, there are games and books to read. The property is nice with a fun pond and walking trails. I like to bird and there was a wide variety of birds everywhere, with a feeder and a bird bath outside to watch feeder birds also. There is a very nice fire pit, but due to ban on fires in the state we were not able to use. We had a great time! We went to Kindred Spirits for dinner one night and it was great! Their brown butter cake is so good!

Excellent stay at Pond in the Pines Cabin!

We had a wonderful stay at Pond in the Pines cabin! The cabin was very clean, beautiful, and looked even nicer than the pictures. Traci’s communication was excellent the entire time from the check in process, checking in throughout our stay, and the check out process. She even left us a bottle of wine and chocolate on check in! For anyone with dogs, we brought our fur baby with us and he probably enjoyed himself the most! The property is completely secluded and he enjoyed being able to run around and visit the pond. We had a wonderful time! Highly recommend if you are looking for a cozy retreat in Hocking Hills!
