We loved everything about this place from the mass amounts of sleeping spots to the lake and other amenities outside. We were a family of 10 with plenty of sleeping places and room to roam. Close enough to hocking hills we could go there for the day. Only thing i would improve is lights around the fire pit at night it is very dark. Try Rays harvest house at the end of the street they were excellent!

The house was perfect for our family trip to watch hockey at Ohio U! The main house did have a smoke smell when we first entered but the entire property was great! We are hoping to stay again in warmer weather to enjoy the outside more!

This is a nice place for a large get together that's close to OU and the Hocking Hills area. The property is composed of two separate buildings, a main house and a secondary house. The main house was very nice, clean, and had comfortable bedding. The secondary house is a garage that was converted into two apartments. Whoever did that conversion didn't spend a lot of money on it. While generally clean, it has a lot of dated amenities. It's a raised floor over the original concrete garage floor with a few irregular steps. Bed quality, while clean, wasn't great. We were not impressed with that part of the property.While the property can accommodate large groups, the food prep and eating areas are divided across three kitchens, which can be a hassle. Also, there is no dishwasher (which was correctly called out in the listing). There are three washer/dryer units on the property. We didn't get an opportunity to use the outdoor amenities, except for the firepit.There were a few potential guest safety issues that were communicated to the host separately.So, overall, a mixed bag that can accommodate a large group.
