A great spot for a family weekend getaway

We had a great time exploring Hockings Hills area from this ‘home base.’ The cabin was wonderful for our group, giving everyone space to spread out but a comfortable place to hang together, too.

Great property for a family vacation.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. We really enjoyed the swimming pool and deck. Large house was very accommodating for our large family with enough beds and table room for everyone. It is a bit of a drive to Hocking Hills from here but that wasnt really a big problem.
