The Cave & Creek vacation rental definitely merits 5 stars! The property is in a lovely, quiet setting close to the Hocking Hills State Park. The house sits well off the road, at the end of a long private drive. It is perched on a hill with views over the beautiful, very well-maintained grounds and the little creek which runs along the edge of the lawn. There are great outdoor gathering spaces on the main deck, on the ground level patio, and in the sweet, newly done fire pit area. There is even a small screened room which would be great in bug season. The hot tub was a nice bonus, too. Indoors, the house is very clean, well-appointed, with tasteful decor and some nice art work. There are two big sitting areas and a big dining area. The bedrooms are comfortable and the bathrooms seem relatively newly renovated. Communication with the owner was easy and quick.
Tip: get your provisions before you get to the house as the closest convenience stores have minimal supplies.
Overall, the house was a great place for a few days of gathering, laughing, cooking and eating great food and, of course, hiking in this magical area!
