"It doesn't look like much on the outside, but the inside is great! Sparkling clean and one hundred percent new and upgraded interior. Well appointed kitchen; lots of little extras in the home. We would definitely stay here again."

8/10 Good
"Very rustic but lots of amenities. We had a problem checking in but Jack was able to help us out despite it being 10pm. The dogs on the property were very friendly and met our dogs. Fairly priced. However, the bed is incredibly old and the bedframe is rickety, making it impossible to get comfortable. Everything else was great!"

Unique 1970s Round House w/ Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved this property! It’s so clean, has the most comfortable vibe and spaces, welcoming gestures and thoughtful touches everywhere! It truly feels like you have your own little private piece of the world except for an occasional car on the road in the distance. Sitting by the pond at dusk, soaking in the hot tub under the stars, and window upon window of morning sunshine flooding the house quickly made this one of the most recharging weekends away. The kitchen had everything we could have needed including all the coffee accessories, an air fryer, and beautiful/functional decor. The bed was very comfortable and we loved the working jukebox! The hosts are so kind and this home felt so peaceful which speaks volumes for them! We can’t wait to visit again in the cooler months when we can utilize the beautiful fireplace. Thanks again!"

"My second time at this lovely property & it did not disappoint. Easy check in, everything exactly as noted in description & photos. Only downside was equipment being used to dig a lake across from house although it was interesting to watch. I look forward to my next stay hopefully after completion of lake. 10/10!"

The Cottonwood cabin by Garden of the Gods in the Shawnee National Forest

10/10 Excellent
"This place was so cute!!!! We wanted a quiet getaway and this place delivered. From the rustic feel with modern amenities to the starry nights by the fire 10/10. The property cats, Oreo and Stripes, were the sweetest fur babies. They definitely love their treats (yes I was suckered into getting a little bag of treats). The pond was a nice little fishing hole for catch and release. We spend all day one of the days hiking and visiting historical sites (Garden of the Gods, Cave-in-rock, Rim Rock, Iron furnace historical site, Herod Cave historical site, pounds Hollow). Must try place is The Fishing Dock, the catfish was super good and so was the bacon cheeseburger. It’s right on the Ohio River. Now the staff was absolutely amazing and sweet!! Check in was a breeze!! Make sure you plan gas appropriately as gas stations are sparse. We plan on definitely coming back in the future."

Sassafras Ridge Log Cabin by Garden of the Gods in the Shawnee National Forest

Sassafras Ridge Log Cabin by Garden of the Gods in the Shawnee National Forest

10/10 Excellent
"The cabin was nice, matched the pictures online. It was also very clean, only 2 or so spills in the fridge which just took a quick wipe. The ac worked better on 1st level than on 2nd but kind of expected as one downstairs is a wall ac and upstairs it was a smaller window unit. We fit 5 adults and 3 kids comfortably. They had firewood very close to the cabin which was nice, and the view of starts in the large field across the cabin was great! They are pet friendly so we were able to bring our cat, loved that! Check in was very smooth & they were accomidating to us having a very late check in. I also really liked how you didnt need keys to access the cabin, used a pin at door which was convinient as there was no worries on losing a set of keys. Would definetly go again! :)"
