In the midst of a chaotic holiday and birthday, this was such a wonderful get-a-way. The cabin was so clean and had everything I needed. I had the best time waking up and walking the dock to see the sunrise.

We had a wonderful time at your beautiful little cabin. This quiet little cabin and secluded retreat was exactly what we were hoping for. The cabin is small but had absolutely everything we needed. The beautiful view from the porch was breathtaking and so relaxing to sip tea and enjoy every morning. The fishing from the dock was a big plus. We were visited ( and entertained) by the huge sea turtle we name Herman by the dock every evening. We would love to rent again! Although the hot tub was ready and available it was way to hot to use but will plan to next visit.

Just a stunning location, so private and peaceful. The lake is a dream to look at any time of the day, and the cabin is wonderfully situated in private woods. Everything you need for a great retreat is provided, and while simple, its perfect. The host is extremely responsive, and was wonderful to work with. Highly recommend this cabin, we have been to Hocking Hills many time, this by far is the best location we have ever stayed in.
The bed in the master is hard, if you are a soft mattress sleeper bring along a foam mat.

10.0 / 10.0
Loved the seclusion, walking the many trails, the hot tub and relaxing, reading, eating and playing games and grilling on the deck. Even though the temperature was in the 80s and sunny the deck is shaded with trees so was very comfortable! Plus sitting around the fire pit was great. We wish we would have brought fishing poles cuz the fish were jumping.

We enjoyed every minute of our 4 night stay and didn’t want to leave! The cabin was a bit tight for 4 adults and a toddler, but having the large deck gave us the space to spread out. (Bring baby gates if you are bringing small children.) We really only slept and cooked inside. The private woods with walking trails and having the lake to ourselves was perfect and just what we needed to decompress from our busy lives. We did a lot of kayaking and the fishing was great. We watched the bats as they came out at dusk and stargazed each night from the dock. Most of the Hocking Hills activities where about 30-45 minutes away from the cabin. Andy was easy to work with and quick to respond to questions. He even allowed us to park our trailer holding our kayaks in his yard. The cabin had everything we needed and I highly recommend it if you are looking for a private getaway. The only thing missing was a hammock on the deck to take a nap in!

I love the seclusion and spectacular environment at this cabin. It really is one of my favorite places on Earth. This is our fourth stay here and we find it more relaxing each time. Cheers to the host Andy for taking great care of us!
See you next year!

A much needed family weekend!! The drive up to the cabin was amazing. Well maintained and beautiful property. Hot tub was definitely a great way to end the nights.

Amazing place! A clean, well kept cabin on a 6 acre lake (the only cabin on the lake). Host and Hostess Andy and Rachael are most hospitable and friendly. Excellent accomodations!

My wife and I rented the cabin for a few days. We found the property and the cabin well maintained and clean. We enjoyed the private setting, this is the only cabin on the property so you have the entire area to yourself. There are a lot of well maintained trails for hiking and the lake is beautiful. We are already planning our next trip to this cabin.

We had a great time at this cabin. The kids loved the paddle and rowboat. We enjoyed clear nights with amazing stargazing. It was like we had all 100 acres to ourselves. There were still some leaves left on the trees to provide a gorgeous backdrop to our weekend getaway. We all enjoyed the hot tube and fire pit as well. We enjoyed pizza for lunch one day at Mama Renie's. Highly recommend. Andy was great to work with and responded quickly to our questions. The only change I would make would be to have a larger bed for the adults, but I honestly don't think there is enough room in the bedroom to accommodate that. My husband slept on one of the couches and I slept in the bedroom. Would would have no reservations about booking this cabin again. Also, first time using Evolve. Great experience.

This has to be one of the best properties that I have ever stayed at in the Hocking Hills area, and I have been to quite a few. The overall property is perfectly located; secluded enough to allow for your own privacy, but close enough to main roads to get to nearby attractions and stores. The owner Andy was awesome, easy to communicate, but never actually saw him when we were there. Which is kind of what you want.
The actual cabin was perfect; more than enough room for my wife; 10 year and 4 year old. The stairs to the loft are a little steep, so not the best for any young kids that are not comfortable navigating stairs.
The Hot Tub was perfect sized for 4 people. We used the paddle boat a lot on the lake, and it was so nice to have the lake to ourselves and right at the bottom of the deck. We did tons of fishing and hiking. Just enjoying each other in nature.
I cannot recommend this cabin enough!!!!!

We love this cabin and everything about it. The host Andy was great, even brought us a bottle of Hocking Hills wine for our anniversary! Everything was great, there were plenty of things to do outside!

Everything was as hoped for. The secluded location and the well appointed cabin on the lake was great for our family. The kids had a great time with the paddle boat and hot tub, and we enjoyed walking/exploring the property. Thanks for a great stay!

A perfect place to stay while visiting the hocking hills area, the cabin was exceptional and the view was amazing. The property had a nice trail system and was maintained very well. The lake was absolutely beautiful and the fishing was excellent. A great place to stay and enjoy time with the family, I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking to spend time with their kids and create some long lasting memories. Thanks to andy for being a excellent host and taking care of any needs we may have had and sharing this wonderful property with us.

We enjoyed our couple of days at this cute little cabin! Very clean and well-kept. Had everything we needed for a little get away. Our young teenage boys loved the boats and the private lake. They fished and swam most of the stay. The dock right in front of the cabin was perfect for the kids to fish from while we sat on the beautiful deck and enjoyed the serenity. Hot tub was clean and a nice little bonus at night once the sun went down. We definitely plan to stay here again!! So glad we found this little gem so close to home! :-)
