Downstairs you’ll find the fully decked-out game room with a big-screen Roku TV with ample seating, a card table, games, and a full-size billiard table!

We take pride in providing some of the best-stocked cabins in Hocking Hills! No need to bring essentials like linens, towels, toilet paper, and paper towels (1 roll provided). We also do our best to stock basic kitchen staples like coffee, olive oil, salt, pepper, and other basic spices.

Great getaway

Nice relaxing home with a beautiful deck overlooking a private pond/lake. Has a row boat, paddle boards, fire pit outside, kids loved all that there was to do at the house so much that we had to drag them out to go hiking. I caught a little blue gill in the pond and it made my sons day he had never seen me actually catch a fish before lol

Beautiful -property—just a little to wet to explore as much as we would have liked to. Would have been helpful to have an idea of the property lines as to not infringe on neighbors. Old Man Cave nice and close. Great home. Everything we needed. Very fun time with close friends.

Wonderful property

This is a great place to stay near Hocking Hills. The property was amazing! My kids had a great time exploring the trails, fishing, and boating. It was a fun place to hang out after hiking in Hocking Hills. The house was clean, and the main living room/kitchen was spacious for a large family. I only wished that the beds were more comfortable and that there was better lighting in the bedrooms.

Christmas Getaway

We had a great stay at The Place! The house and property provided everything we needed for our Christmas getaway with family. The only issue is that it could have been a tad cleaner upon check-in. The hosts were awesome with communication and explaining all that we needed to know. My family and I would not hesitate to book this property again. Great house, hiking trails in the hills and awesome amenities!

Fabulous Scenic Getaway

A few friends and I spent a long weekend at this Hocking Hills home and had a wonderful time! Greg (owner) and Marianne (guest coordinator) were very communicative and helpful with every detail regarding our stay. The property was very clean and had a beautiful pond and scenic view, especially with the fall colors! We appreciated the privacy and peaceful surroundings. We were also very close to HH state park. Highly recommend this home for any visit to Hocking Hills!

Family vacation

The house needed some improvements in my opinion. bathroom near the kitchen was dirty, and the toilet tissue was on the floor instead of on the roller. When I picked it up it had a brown substance smeared on it. The bed was very uncomfortable and the pillows were small; I went home with a stiff neck and back as a result. The jacuzzi was dirty with sand on the bottom. It couldn't be used. It was very expensive, I could've stayed at the Grand Floridian resort in Walt DIsney World or gone to Mackinac Island in Michigan and stayed at the Grand Hotel for the same price and been more comfortable. I was surprised that there were no TV's in the bedrooms, and if you had to go to the restroom at night if you put the light on, it disturbed the other folks in the other bedrooms. The TV in the loft was useable, but I discovered when I chose a movie, that is the movie I was stuck with for my whole stay; the remote control may need new batteries. My daughter (30 F) said that the decor was early American garage sale and that the house looked like a great spot for young folks to go and party. The equipment available to use if you swam in the lake was substandard and we wouldn't use it.

Great Family Stay!

We had a great time at this property with the entire family, from kids (7, 10), to grandparents, and even our dog! The property itself had plenty of fun for everyone, our kids especially enjoyed fishing off the deck then hop onto the pond on the paddle board. Greg checked in with us often, and the house had everything we need. It was also conveniently located to within 15 min drive of Hocking Hills park and a grocery store. Highly recommend for any families looking in the area!

Great remote family getaway!

Greg's property was absolutely perfect for our family getaway! Everyone enjoyed the outdoor deck overlooking the water. There were so many activities for all to enjoy - paddle boarding, fishing, cornhole, sitting by the firepit at night, and much more. We had an issue with the coffee maker not working and Greg kindly sent a new coffee maker via Amazon that was delivered the next day! Amazing memories were made here and we are very grateful.

Beautiful Property - Relaxing Stay

We just stayed at the property with 2 teenagers. The property was beautiful and very private. The house worked well for the 4 of us and the lakes were calm and beautiful. The boys enjoyed fishing the lake, building fires and hiking through the woods. It's close to Lake Logan where we rented a boat for one of the days. We never made it to the caves but will do that next trip. The whole experieince was very relaxing and enjoyable.

Great vacation stay

This is a very nice property with tons of room to spread out, inside and out. Very private with lots to do on the property & close to the state park and tourist places. Our teenage boys were in the pond everyday: swimming, boating and paddle boarding. The fishing was great! I wish more wildlife came around, but the bullfrogs were very fun every night! And there seems to be a blue heron that lives by the pond! There are a ton of trails on the property! We didn't use the hot tub because it was oppressively hot that week, but it looks nice and well kept. The only downside is the ticks, such is nature! In every place we've ever stayed in HH, we've had to deal with them. You just have to be vigilant! Really great vacation!

Why they chose this property

Back in 1989, my parents bought this property when I was a year old. When it was bought, a name just could not be agreed upon, so it simply became known as The Place! I have been going down to this property my entire life and have some of my best memories there.

When my dad passed in 2005, I inherited the property. In 2011, I tore down and rebuilt half of the home and renovated the other half. It is a place that I absolutely love and am thrilled to be able to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

The Place is truly unique. There are not many places where you can find such a secluded, private home with two large private ponds as well as fantastically relaxing views and wildlife.
