ONE OF A KIND HISTORIC LOG CABIN ON 10+ ACRES IN HOCKING HILLS

Beautiful property and charming cabin

This historic cabin was amazing. Had both modern amenities and historical charm. The property is beautiful. Isolated and quiet but not too far from the highway and an easy drive from Columbus. The host was very communicative and helpful. Would highly recommend!

The cabin was clean and we had a great stay. We all enjoyed the fire pit, horseshoes and corn hole tremendously. It was close quarters for our family of 12. One of the bathrooms was very small so additional mirrors in the bedrooms would help when multiple people were getting ready at the same time. We enjoyed the local hiking and had a great dinner at the Hungry Buffalo one evening. Overall a great stay and our family had fun!

Ok. My significant other and I brought our family to this area to do some hiking in Hocking Hills. The area was nice and very peaceful. The house was as described. However, a few things to note if you decide to book this property. This house is very rustic in the front part which adds to the charm. But the floors are original and you can actually see through them into the bedrooms on the lower level. Not a huge deal for us as we took our kids but may be an issue for a group of couples or friends. The hot tub we couldn’t use, it had mildew on the sides and on the seats and smelled horrible. We have used several hot tubs in different rentals over the years and have never seen this before. We didn’t call as it was really too hot for us to get in and we think it needs to be fully drained and the lines jet cleaned. Kitchen was fully stocked no issues. We were a little concerned about the electrical as when we plugged in our phones the plug boxes got hot and the power strip for the water tank dispenser kept snapping and shutting off. Beds were super comfy in all rooms. The water is true well water. Which if you’re not used to is a bit overwhelming. We have grown up in the south and I felt the sulfur smell here was quite strong. Might need a better water softener in this rental? Overall we had a great time here and would consider staying again. Not sure this would be the right house for all families though.

The property was everything we thought and more. Great views, comfortable bedrooms, common rooms and spaces were amazing. Hiking the area was fun, and repelling at High Rock Adventures was awesome. Fun was had by all of us and we look forward to next year.

The Settler’s Retreat was a fantastic experience. We enjoyed the historic atmosphere, the large yard, and fire pit.

We had a lovely time here. The acreage is amazing. The kids and dogs had a blast roaming around freely. There were a couple of great trees for a few hammocks. The firepit was great, especially because of the short distance from the house. Our only complaints were that we didn't have enough trash bags or papertowels. No salt/pepper, nor storage bags/containers for leftovers. Otherwise, it was perfect! We ❤️ Hocking Hills and the Settlers Retreat was the perfect homebase.

This place has all of the charm and character of a cabin built in the 1800's. It was very clean and well maintained. And it had all of the modern conveniences one could expect for a luxurious vacation. Granite counters in the kitchen. French door refrigerator. Nice hot tub on the patio. Nestled almost in the middle of Logan and Lancaster. With all of the conveniences of the larger shopping areas of Lancaster, and close enough to the activities of the hocking hills that nothing was more than a 15-20 minute drive. I will definitely have to come back in the warmer months and try and spend some more time on the Hocking Hills trails.

We enjoyed our stay for a family holiday getaway. It was open and clean. You may want earplugs or a white noise machine if you are a light sleeper, as the floors are open in some places and noise carries easily.

Cabin had the perfect combination of rustic charm and modern elements which enhanced our getaway to the hills! Greatly appreciated the privacy afforded by the acreage, especially when in the hot tub and hanging at the fire pit. Look forward to going back again soon!

We enjoyed the kitchen area so much. A great gathering area. Plenty of space especially since it was pretty cold the weekend we stayed. Very nicely stocked with everything you could think of needing. Also enjoyed the fire pit! Thanks for a great place for our family to spend time together.

6 adults and 4 children under the age of 3 all had a great weekend!

This was a great place to stay. A couple of things to take note of: families with kids, this is a loud house. You can hear everything so if your kids need quiet to sleep, this may not be the place for you. The hot tub does not keep the heat up and we were there in early fall so I couldn't imagine how fast it cools off in the winter. The lighting was also very dim, especially in the kitchen when cooking. Overall, the cabin gave our family wonderful memories!

We, us four sisters, chose this property for a family getaway as a gift to our parents. It was plenty of room with a variety of activities to keep the kids entertained and room for the adults to be able to visit both inside and outside. Our group headed to Hocking Hills State Park and Nelsonville during the days and came home to horse shoes, fire, hot tub, and family game night around the dinner table. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our breakfasts and dinners. The space was able to accommodate our family. And the backyard had beautiful leaves changing and deer watching. Would go back!

We so enjoyed our stay at this retreat. The property was well kept and very private. the deer were up close and were daily visitors both morning and evenings. we did have to deal with quite a few black wasps that decided to seek the warmth inside upstairs, but as the weather was changing we understood. it's their habitat after all. The only disappointment we did have was that the hot tub was not hot. It kept returning to 95 degrees and that was way to warm, kinda like bathwater. all and all though we loved this place and will return again.

The cabin is really nice. Our party was my wife and I, seniors, all three of our adult children and their significant others, 4 grand kids from ages nine to one. and two dogs. So we used up all three bedrooms and the loft. It came very well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. The only thing we would have wanted is a baking tray or two to make biscuits. But we got by. The kitchen and dining room are wonderful spaces for all of us. The grill is an awesome Weber connected to the NG. This is such an important activity to cook and eat together. So overall we had a really wonderful family get away. We all very much need it. The location is not bad. But Sugar Grove Rd can get a little traffic on it. It is under an hour to get there from Columbus, so that is nice. While it is rural, I would not call it remote. There was plenty of privacy on the lot. It is located out of view of any neighbors. The fire pit is nice especially with the chairs provided. And we definitely had two nights of cozy fires in the cool October air with the firewood that was already at the property too! There were a few things that keep us from rating this lovely cabin the full 5 stars. It got down in the 30's both nights we were there. There is one thermostat down stairs. some of the rooms were burning up and others were freezing. It seems that some rooms had forced air and others had the old fashioned open grates. I am glad we brought a few extra blankets and sleeping bags. We managed to get by. I think it sort of adds to the rustic atmosphere. But this inconsistent temperature from room to room was unexpected. The worst condition we found was that when we were making the pull out sofa in the loft, we noticed a stink bug on the couch pillow. After pulling the couch away from the wall we had a closer examination. It looked like a stink bug graveyard on the floor next to the wall. And the window sill on that wall was loaded up with about three or four dozen dead or dying stink bugs too. There were gaps around the window. It looked it had not been cleaned behind the sleeper sofa in a long time. There was corn chips and an old straw in the mix too. Again overall a nice cabin. And we enjoyed our family time. But we feel for the price it could be better,

As advertised. Great space for short family getaway weekend. No issues.

Very clean and comfortable. Close to all the hocking hills activities and the hocking river for great kayaking. Easy to get in to town for pizza at pizza crossing in Logan very good btw.

It was a great property. Everyone in our group said how nice it was and that is was a perfect fit for what we needed.

It was a very nice and chill vibe. The front living room and upstairs was unique old structure with modern add ons with the best of both worlds. Outside was nice as well, only complaint was the hill to the fire pit but the quality of the pit area made up for it! Definitely recommend

Great property

Everyone in our group enjoyed their stay. Super comfortable beds, large table to enjoy meals and games together. Back deck was perfect for morning coffee and socializing. Only complaint is the landscapers came on Monday while we were trying to play card games (noise) also walked up on the deck while we were all sitting at the table in the kitchen. Save landscaping for when there are not any guest or inform guests that they are coming. Other then that it was a perfect vacation and super relaxing. Would totally book again and will suggest to any friends looking forward a place to stay near HH.

Very nice cabin, relatively close to attractions. Clean. Comfy beds. Beautiful view every morning on the deck. Lots of deer.

Lots off room for whole family 👪 ❤️

Our stay at Settler's retreat was a perfect blend of adventure, peacefulness and relaxation. The house was clean, good sized and perfect for our group. Would stay again!

House was great. Service was incredible

Had a great time despite the fact that the grill had missing parts and we couldn't use it, the hot tub had to be drained and washed down and refilled because it was totally dirty when we got there. Also the dishwasher had to be fixed every time we used it. Despite those things it's a beautiful place to stay. Would recommend it. Hope those items are fixed first.

We really enjoyed our stay at Settlers Retreat! Beautiful, unique home and property. Loved the back deck for sipping coffee in the early AM watching deer along the forest line. Plenty of yard space for our children to explore safely. Enjoyed the stoned fire pit area in the evenings as a family. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great place excellent experience. Good communication with host. My family and friends had a great time. We will be happy to rent the cabin again probably more then once a year. I definitely will recommend this cabin for my other family and friends that didn't come.

Beautiful, secluded property. The cabin blends rustic and modern. We’re already discussing a return trip.

This cabin was great for our guys trip getaway. There's lots of activities like horseshoe's and Cornhole already provided. It's located far enough away from the neighboring properties so you can play music and make noise without bothering anyone. Definitely worth the trip
