Phenomena cabin! The view was amazing, it was comfortable, everything worked as it should and we are already planning our next trip back! Hot tub was great, there are fishing poles for the pond.. literally perfect! WiFi is stickered on the wall by the welcome and keys sign, it took a few for us to find it. :) This was hands down one of our favorite getaways!

Beautiful cabin with trails, pond, and everything you need to have meals there. Close enough to grocery but secluded for relaxation. Hot tub, corn hole, blackstone grill and poker table were added bonuses. The front porch is amazing! Owner is very good about communication. Hope to visit again and highly recommend.

The cabin & property far exceeded expectations! It’s close to Hocking Hills hiking, the property's pond made for great fishing (novices, but caught a lot). We’ll be booking this cabin.

Weekends Getaway

This cabin is lovely! Everything you need in the kitchen. Comfortable beds. The covered front porch was great. We fished, grilled, hiked, hot tubbed, and relaxed. Would be a great place to bring your kayak or SUP board. Easy day trip to Hocking Hills and you can Uber to Athens.

Cabin was fully stocked- we didn’t have to worry about anything. Kids loved fishing and it was so nice to be able to sit out there during the storm. The cabin was very tidy and clean, and there was plenty of bedding and blankets for everybody. Kids love the hot tub. But definitely will come back for a longer stay next time.

Amazing Cabin in the Woods!

We really enjoyed our trip to Nelsonville! It wasn't too far from the trails in Hocking Hills and was an amazing cabin. The entire cabin seemed brand new, everything was really clean and the decor/vibe of the cabin was exactly the escape we were looking for. The owners were dog friendly which was great because our dogs loved running around with the kids and exploring the property.

Beautiful Spot with a Comfortable Cabin

We had a wonderful time exploring trails, discovering wildlife, and relaxing in the hot tub.The location is excellent, the cabin is clean, in great shape, and has all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay.The only hiccup was that we needed to move furniture on the first night in order to get access to all of the beds. All-in-all, this wasn't a huge deal and didn't detract much from our stay.We can't wait to come back and see this place in all of the seasons!
