A cozy getaway

We had an amazing stay at the Tommy House. It was cozy, clean, and beautiful! The house is not far from Hocking Hills which makes for an easy commute to hiking trails. The host thinks of everything when it comes to the essentials and has added a lot of small touches to make the house feel like home.

What a wonderful spot! It was clean, tidy, and incredibly cozy. Everything we could've wanted was provided, and we had a fantastic time! The view was incredible, and would've been even more amazing in spring or fall. Lena was super responsive, welcoming, and kind. A wonderful house with a very special story.

Absolutely wonderful

The house was amazing, it was clean, organized, and had everything we needed. The pictures don’t do it justice, the house is beautiful. The only issue we found is there is no lighter provided for the fire pit, but we would absolutely stay again!

Weekend Getaway

Tommy House was so cozy and comfy for our little family! Lena was a great host, very responsive throughout the start of my booking. We came for a last minute trip to do some hiking and Tommy house was a clean, comfortable space to be at! Also very accommodating for us bringing our toddler! We had all we needed for our stay! Favorite spot was the deck and the views from it! Thanks again!

Nothing but great things to say!

This house was perfect and cozy for our family trip to the Hocking Hills. We were able to be comfortable like we were home. We enjoyed the sights of the Hocking Hills and able to return to the house to enjoy a peaceful, relaxing evening by the campfire. Lena was a wonderful host. She had everything there and easy to find! We did not have to bother her at all!

Ideal for a getaway

We loved staying here! The house was clean and well kept up, and the view out back was tremendous - it backs on to a huge tree-lined ravine and a state forest (I can only imagine what it's like in the fall when the leaves change colors). The location is fairly remote which is perfect for a getaway with peace and quiet, but close enough to the Hocking Hills to make for some good sightseeing. There's a grocery store about 15 (?) minutes down the road as well. The host (Lena) was easy to communicate with and went out of her way to fix the wifi right after we checked in, and made sure we had everything we needed. I definitely recommend a stay here!

It was a perfect choice for our weekend getaway. The house is comfy, very well-maintained, and fully stocked. Everything you could ever need is already there. The house is 100% family/kid friendly. Easy access to the property and Wi-Fi worked great. ***Be aware / T-Mobile signal is weak in this area.
