Cabins in a Clearing: Beech, Walnut & Chestnut - check all three
Cabins In A Clearing has 3 primitive cabins built in the woods and is also located in the Hocking Hills of Ohio. (Walnut Cabin - Property # 2974863; Chestnut Cabin - Propty # 2974951 and Beech Cabin - Property # 2974931) There is a porch, fire ring and grill, heat is provided. Situated 13 miles from Old Man’s Cave. A double bed with linens is provided in Beech Cabin along with night stands, book shelves for clothes, etc., and a cafe table with chairs inside, a divided bench table on the porch and a picnic table in the patio. You can eat at the fire ring on cross-section posts if you like. A water line delivers water to a stand pipe along the driveway in a common area accessible by all. A waterproof usb receptacle is close to and behind the water stand pipe making charging of devices easy. Swimming is not permitted in either of the two ponds. Catch and release fishing is permitted when the pond area is not otherwise being used. Each cabin can host 2 adults comfortably and cots without linens can be provided with an additional cost for up to two kids.
We have now added private shower stalls to each cabin using water bags heated by the Sun. We tried them and on a 68 degree F day, three hours of direct sun produced heated water in excess of 105 degrees F, as hot as many home showers.
The picture of the deer standing about 20 feet in front of the cabin was taken around10:00 am on September 26, 2022.
The cabin is heated and features a patio and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. The cabin also includes a dining table.

Upscale primitive
When I think of primitive I think of a tent and sleeping bags and a trip to outhouses or a private spot to do your business.
Cabins in a Clearing is a step up; though the bathroom arrangements are as described above. There are porta potties but quite away from two of the three cabins. That isn't fun. The cabins are clean with a comfortable bed and linens, and while there is no electricity there are battery powered lamps indoors and a protected area to charge your phones and laptops.
Don't arrive after dark. You lose your bearings with no streetlights, and we had to hoof it a little ways. The inside was spartan but fit our needs. The property is nice and quiet; though after we switched cabins to the one closest to the restrooms, the road noise was tolerable ... this isn't a superhighway. The hosts couldn't be nicer; if you get there in time they'll loan you a cart if you have stuff to schlep.
I'd go back, but next time I might take a camping toilet and a battery-powered fan. The negative reviews worried me, but I found it to be a pleasant little getaway. Just pack for no electricity and a plan to get there before dusk.

Experience
Charging station and porta potties far from Cabin. Description says 1/2 bath, Where? No outlet at charging station to make coffee or anything. Had to park away from Cabin and make several trips. Water outlet not close to cabin either. Cabin itself was nice. I just wish the description was clearer.
The location was absolutely stunning and the cabin was cosy and felt very idylic. The hosts are absolutely lovely and we were made to feel as welcome as possible at every opportunity. Will absolutely be looking at coming back soon
