9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (131)
"This was a phenomenal property to stay at. I really appreciated how clear the directions and communications from the property owner were. The location is great - perfect for hiking around Hocking Hills. At first I was a bit hesitant about the decor in the property, but it eventually grew on me - I love all the little decorations and details everywhere. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a quiet, clean, visually stimulating place to stay."

"The place needs some work and cleaning(swept)but overall alright. The bed was comfortable and clean. The kitchen, "commons area" and bathroom were alright but again need swept. The location is awesome. The view and trail into the forest is wonderful. The front stairs are a workout, as well as the driveway/parking hill in back. I saw no towels but didnt ask for any."
