About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Minutes To The Caves; 5+ Acres, Wi-fi, Grill, Fire Pit, Pet Friendly!

UPDATE - the hot tub is down for the winter season.

** PLEASE NOTE - I no longer have access to a laundry service that is able to take care of providing clean towels and linens. Please understand that I would like to provide this service, but I am unable to. Thus, you’ll need to plan on bringing your own. I do apologize for this.

*** Please read this entire description before booking, and feel free to ask me any questions you might have! ***

I have had some recent complaints regarding a few items so please read the following info prior to booking. Your booking this cabin acknowledges that you have read and understand the information contained in this ad.

This RUSTIC cabin is located in a wooded and grassy area. There are bugs and there are spiders and there are other furry critters in the area. The cabin is typically cleaned on a Monday after folks check out. The cleaning service has an hour round trip travel time, so it is likely it won’t be “freshened up” immediately prior to your arrival if you come later in the week. Please expect there to be a sign of activity of these bugs and spiders and other pests in this natural wooded area.

The lawn service might not always be able to mow or trim weeds directly prior to your arrival. Many factors such as rain, wooded property access, and land topology play into this. This is not a metropolitan or town location. If you are expecting that, understand you might be disappointed and won’t receive a refund.

Sometimes, a window might fail to lock. However, all main entry doors are secure and have locks on them. We have never had a security incident since we began cabin rentals in 2012. I have had many, many very happy customers. Many folks come back to each of my locations each and every season. However, a few have not been happy due to the items listed above. Please be sure you understand the above information before choosing to stay here.

This simple cabin is located on 5 scenic acres to allow hiking, campfires, grilling out, or taking a nice soak in the relaxing hot tub! It is located near South Bloomingville, OH, just minutes from Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Conkle's Hollow, and many other local attractions.

Plates, bowls, pots, pans, utensils, coffee maker, toaster, and trash bags are included.

The cabin has air conditioning, an electric furnace heater, ceiling fans, wood burner, leather couch, futon, and a large fire pit! It has beds to sleep 7 (possibly 8 with children - please see below for a description of the bedding arrangement), has satellite TV in the living room (the bedroom has a TV but needs a streaming device [that you provide] plugged into its HDMI port), a stereo system with Bluetooth, full kitchen with range, refrigerator, and microwave. Outside, there is a propane grill on the front porch. There is also ample space for a nice campfire to roast hot dogs and make S'Mores!

Bedding arrangement: There are a total of 4 mattresses on which to sleep: 1 queen size bed in the bedroom (sleeps 2), 2 twin bunkbeds in one corner of the greatroom (sleeps 2), and a pullout queen size couch (sleeps 2) {Entire cabin sleeps 6 adults or 7 total if a child stays}

Please note: I have very good feedback at my cabins, and I pride myself in trying to make sure folks enjoy their time here. I will do my best to make sure your stay is a pleasant one. In order to achieve that, I want to make sure you are aware of a few items:

I have been made aware at times that there are excessive spider webs in the cabin. We have tried everything to minimize this. However, I must say that the drop ceiling within the cabin does not allow for cleaning of these. It’s a textured ceiling and trying to remove the webs only results in ceiling tile surface damage. Thus, I do not mean to be blunt - but if you are offended by cobwebs please don’t book this cabin. We truly do our best to remove them but the spiders in this wooded area work quickly and we just cannot stay ahead of them. Thanks for understanding!

At times the satellite TV signal might be weak, or an item within the cabin might not be functional. Items such as these will be addressed ASAP by the property managers, and I will always do my best to make sure you are notified prior to booking.

The cabin packs MANY items into a small area. The master bath and half bath are compact, but functional!

Don't delay! Get out to the Hocking Hills!

PLEASE NOTE - this property is located in a rural setting with open grassy areas and woods nearby. We do our best to keep pesky rodents away but at times there could be a rodent that was just caught in a trap. We have tried poison, traps, and using nothing at all; we have landed on continuing to use mousetraps. Poison causes them to die in the most inopportune places and having no traps at all just leads to larger issues. If you happen to find a mouse in a trap we apologize - we truly are doing the best to can to make the pests disappear. Just please be prepared to place all food in sealable containers or in the refrigerator so you don’t attract them even more!

In addition to small furry pests, an occasional wood roach might be wandering around a cabin. I assure you these are NOT a cock roach. Please google “wood roach”. They feed on moist damp wood. They don’t really want to be inside but they might have been carried in on firewood or wandered in looking for a mate. They don’t eat human food and they don’t want to be inside. If you find one, please either dispose of it or simply throw it outside. Thanks for your patience as you venture in to the rural wooded areas of Hocking Hills!

Beautiful area

We really enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect place to disconnect. Loved all the acres of land, the view of the woods in the back, and we had everything we needed. Not very far from Hocking Hills, 2 bathrooms is a perk, and it was so quiet and peaceful.

Perfect weekend getaway

Stayed here for our trip to Hocking Hills. Close to everything you want to see! We went to Cantwell Cliffs, Old Man’s Cave, Ash Falls. And this was a great place to come back to! Hot tub was perfect, we had no problems so no reason to communicate with the property manager. I actually preferred bringing our own sheets/blankets/pillows. We did forget towels but made a quick trip to Walmart. Would definitely stay here again if we took another trip that way!

Couldn’t have asked for a better cabin!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The manager explained the residence perfectly.. everything was extremely clean and tidy. The hot tub was perfect after a long day hiking. The jets worked great. The deck was so pretty and although there are technically 2 other cabins on the lot the way that the cabin is situated, you can’t even see them nor hear them. The caretaker does a great job with the grass. 10/10 recommend and will be back!

Nice rustic cabin

The cabin was clean with enough space for our family. The kitchen supplies were a little lacking as it would have been nice to have 4 large plates and bowls for meals. The hot tub was nice to relax and enjoy the view.

Amazing stay and very relaxing!

The owner of the cabin, Dan, was super nice and helpful! Everything was exactly as described, so there were no surprises! We prepared accordingly based on the description and everything worked out beautifully. Our kids loved the cabin and the location is minutes away from the Hocking Hills caves and trails. We had an amazing weekend and are already talking about coming back!

Perfect Little Spot!

This cabin was everything we needed it to be while staying in the beautiful hocking hills! Close by to all the trails, had a hot tub that was absolutely perfect for this time of year, had everything we needed to cook some delicious cabin-made meals, and was well kept! There were two other rentals on the property but still felt secluded enough. Definitely was the true meaning of a “rustic cabin in the woods,” but a very nice one that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at. Thank you Valley Ridge!

Great place great property manager

My Wife and I stayed there for Valentine’s Day, I asked the property manager to decorate for the weekend… she did, it was very nice, flowers, candy etc….the property was clean and welcoming…the hot tub was super nice and taken care of. I can see how people could have issues with bugs and other critters, we didn’t but it’s the dead of winter. I haven’t had too many cabins that didn’t have something running around in the spring and summer minth.

Great Value Get Away Trip!

My boyfriend, our dog, and I stayed in this cabin Friday - Sunday. It was perfect for the three of us! I highly recommend reading the description prior to booking this place! It was very accurate and told a better story than some of the recent reviews. We were nervous after reading some of the reviews, but were pleasantly surprised and the description describes the property perfectly. One of the hot tub jets were broken, but since there were only 2 of us in the hot tub it was perfect for us. The manager did let us know of the condition of the hot tub before we came onsite. We would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fun time at a good price!

The property was exactly as advertised. Cute little cabin in the woods. Comfortable bed. Smallest bathroom i have ever seen. Water pressure low, hot water ran out quickly. I did not take these as horrible as it was expected. Yes there were bugs inside and out. Our pets were very comfortable.

Masters the Basics

Very responsive, friendly and great to work with! We originally booked the wrong dates and they worked with us to find another date! Family of 4 and we were not looking for anything fancy. This cabin is rustic and simplistic in all the right ways, with all the essentials covered. It rained while we were there and the sound of the rain on the tin roof made for the best nights sleep! This is not a new build and sits in the woods so don’t rent if you’re definition of “rustic” is used in terms of style. Renters are upfront about the wildlife, critters and possible bugs you may.

Most amazing view!

The description doesn’t lie. There are bugs. Spiders, bees, ect. Not inside but all over the property. This is a Rustic cabin, in the middle of nowhere, and we LOVED IT! The sunsets were amazing, the property managers were so helpful, and we were close to everything you would like to do in the area. If you enjoy nature (which how can you not if you are visiting this area?) you’ll love it here! We also had amazing cell service and Wi-Fi since it’s higher up in the hills, which made us feel better since we had kiddos home staying with family. Would definitely stay again.

Slightly disappointed

The cabin is rustic and has a large plot of grass land in front of cabin. Great for our dogs. The cabin has a carbon monoxide detector but no smoke detector. (Had the holder but no detector.) My husband is a fire fighter so this was a concern for us. There is also moss and small plants growing in the gutters of the cabin. The bathroom sinks had not been wiped or Cleaned and there was evidence of old toothpaste in both sinks from previous visitors. (We checked in on Tuesday.) The bathroom shower was also the tiniest shower I’ve ever used. Did have good water pressure. As other reviews said, only half the hot tub jets worked, and it was dirty with leaves. There was also no lights outside in that area for use after dark. The cabin was a great setting for what we were looking for and allowed us to bring our pets, but a little bit more spot cleaning for the price was expected. There was $100 in service and cleaning fees added to the daily rate. I just expected to not the cleaning off someone else’s toothpaste and to have a smoke detector in a building full of wood. Worked for our trip, but won’t be coming back.

Close to Hocking Hills State Parks - Hikes and Waterfalls

We chose to stay here to visit Hocking Hills State Park but not camp or stay in the busy Lodge. The area is very scenic and we were prepared for rustic/in the woods location. But a few things were not what we were expecting/hoping for: The hot tub was only functional on one side "jets 1" and not "jets 2". The hot tub lid was broken into 2 pieces and the thermal lining was loose, so it was covered in thick plastic sheeting which made everything very slippery and hard to handle to uncover and recover. The "bedroom" had a flat screen tv hook up with no tv. The bathroom with a shower was so tiny that the sink was in the bedroom and your feet were on the shower ledge to sit and use the toilet. The shower stall was so narrow that the jet hit me right in the face and there was not enough room to turn away to wash your hair without standing directly in the water. The kitchen was stocked ok, and we were able to make breakfast and dinner each night and have a large lunch at one of the restaurants around Hocking Hills. The coffee pot worked and filters were provided. The kitchen table has a wobbly leg and tips over easily. The fridge and freezer doors were so close to the tiny bathroom that they bumped the tiny bathroom door frame and scared someone if they were in there. So, its a good home base to hike and see Hocking Hills State Park, but its not as well kept as I hoped. This property would not be good for small kids as there is no bathtub, just a tiny slippery shower.
