Short birthday getaway was a success

While looking for a quick adventure away from home, my heart fell on this place. Keith was extremely accommodating and responsive throughout the whole process and his property was even better than the listing really seemed. We had a blast hiking on the nearby trails and playing the games inside the cabin. The beds were so comfortable, it was like sleeping on a cloud. I will definitely be keeping this listing saved for future trips out of town!

Perfect location to ride at Baileys!

Benton's of the Baileys was a perfect place to stay for some mountain biking at Baileys. (Which are great trails!) V close to Athens for a drive or bike into town for dinner or whatever. The host was super welcoming and thoughtful. Cabin was clean and v comfortable. Will definitely be staying again!

Nice cabin

Really nice cabin, very clean and cozy. Beautiful getaway. We didn’t have service so we were unable to communicate with the host. We got the impression they were wonderful but since we couldn’t communicate we weren’t able to say what we needed. The bathhouse had zero water pressure; it was basically a drip.

Great get away

This place is a great cabin to stay. The lack of running water was no problem due to supplied drinking water and cleaning water at an outside sink. Great place to feel that you are "off the grid" but not really off the grid! Our 4 wheel drive truck made it up to cabin just fine. Not sure if our minivan would of though so the "need 4X4" is right! The "no TV" is what I really liked!

Fantastic location and cabin

We had a great time. The cabin is near tons of outdoor activities like hiking and swimming. Hocking Hills is beautiful. The cabin was very clean and the host went above and beyond with hospitality. There are tons of extras like a water cooler with hot water on tap, coffee, creamer, even marshmallow roasters. If you are looking for something between camping and staying at a hotel then this cabin is perfect. You can have a camp fire in the evening and still enjoy air conditioning. Highly recommend this location and Keith couldn’t be a nicer host.

Great spot

Nice cabin. No running water but they made up for it with available water jugs, powered kitchenette, and bath house just down the driveway. The place was mostly clean, but the air filter on the AC unit needs a good wash down, and the carpet under the window behind the king bed needs to be vacuumed.
