Family getaway

Host was very prompt in responding. The pool temperature and cleanliness was great! Plenty of rooms for everyone. We spent most of our day at hocking hills park. It is a very quiet property.

Ladies getaway

The women in our family like to get together every few years to visit, shop, eat and imbibe. We found the perfect location. The castle was clean and comfortable. We had an issue with the hot tub (electrical) and were not able to use it but we were compensated. The managing company was easy to get ahold of and responded quickly.

Everything was just like the pictures online. We had enough towels, washcloths and toiletries! The home was well stocked. The pool was nice but the pool storage area needed to be organized. We had two issues one was the hot tub wasn’t working and there was no outside lights near the cabana. We were reimbursed for the hot tub not working. I will definitely tell my friends and coworkers about this property!! We really loved the property!!

Family reunion

This was beautiful in the photos, and beautiful in person. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, both were clean and in great condition. The short stretch of road to the driveway is a bit steep and not paved, so the car with 2-wheel-drive struggled a bit going up, but the AWD made it easier. BookHocking staff are very easy to reach for help if you need it.

We also wanted to love this vacation rental. Most of the amenities that were advertised were either not available or broken. The photos were very misleading. The yard and grounds were not kept up. This could be a wonderful place to stay, but it needs a lot of TLC.

This place is awesome!! Lots of room for a bigger family gathering to have.

The place was clean, in a great area with trails and not overly far from Old Man's Cave/restaurants. I have never had such a fully stocked kitchen!! It was the best place we have every stayed in!!

Really nice are to get away

We enjoyed our stay very much. Very quiet area away from everything but close to a lot. The night sky was beautiful sitting in the hot tub relaxing. Great place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life.

Annual Family Getaway

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house. There is plenty of room for large groups, plenty of hot water for showers, (which is always nice ;) kitchen well-stocked. The beds were comfortable, wish we could have stayed longer. Was it perfect, no... can you always find fault, yes, but that can be said of any place, including our own homes. The only thing I would improve on is seating for the dining room. We would stay again in a heartbeat!!!

VERY clean inside but the grounds sure could use some attention.

The pool, the screened porch and the gazebo were lovely! The zip line was a hit with our grandchildren as well as the pool. The beds were very comfortable. We noticed the cleanliness of the interior immediately…A+ on that!

We enjoyed the house and pool.

We liked that the whole family could be together in the big room where the tv was. We liked the pool for the kids to be in daily. The bedrooms were big and allowed us to be separate if needed. The kitchen was too small for that many people though. And there were a few things that needed repaired on the property and things were a little worn but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Castle on the Hill

Property was beautiful house and location, kids really enjoyed the zip line. Disappointed in hot tub, 1st night someone came and worked on it it never got above 88 degrees. Propane tank for gas grill was empty, we had to go and buy one in order to grill out.

Beautiful home and property, overall very clean. Lots of towels and hot showers. Wifi and signal was excellent which is rare for hocking hills. Host is easy to get a hold of and excellent communication. We really loved what this property had to offer and the photos online, however we were dissapointed that many of the amenities advertised were not available.We were notified a few days before our trip that the hot tub was not working, that was a disappointment off the bat, but They did compensate us for that.We were really looking forward to the hiking trails, however all the trails are overgrown to your knees and fallen trees. There wasnt any of the baby gear posted, no highchair, pack and play, baby monitor. No bikes for the kids or basketball for the hoop. The grill didn't have propane, i did message the host and they did come in like 15 mins with a full one. The pool.was low on water so they came to fill that, and we had to keep track and turn it off at 9:30 pm. Outside lights weren't working, had to use flashligts, or the fountain outside. Broken tile walking up to the porch. Zip line missing safery spring. Sofa different, not very comfortable. We really wanted to just get away from everything but everyday people were stopping by, to mow, for the pool 3 times in one day, the propane, a neighbor looking for a package.Overall we had a good time.This property has potential to be the best, but needs some maintenance. Would definitely go again if these things were updated.

Needs Work

I really wanted to like this place. The main reason I booked it was for the heated pool. By the time we were able to get the pool cover off (which was a struggle) it was freezing. Definitely not heated like advertised. The hot tub was broken, had to send someone out to fix it and get it up to temp on first night, still couldn't resolve jet and light issues. Some of the towels we used smelled moldy and we had issues with the TV working. Overall moderately disappointed
