Welcome to Prairie View Cabin!
** 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. We look forward to you coming to stay with us here in Hocking Hills! We would like to pass some information along to you before your stay so you can feel more comfortable during your stay in our cabins.
UPDATE: RECENTLY UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
We are under new property management and are doing our very best to update and improve things both inside and outside of our cabins. We ask for your patience while we make improvements. However, if during your stay you find anything not operational or in need of maintenance please contact management immediately and we will be glad to address the issue as soon as possible..
For your safety we have decided to ask all renters to bring their own bedding supplies as well as towels (hot tub and shower) and washcloths. We have covered the mattresses inside with mattress bags, which are cleaned and sanitized after every stay. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you but, your health is our number one priority. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Come and explore Hocking Hills with us!

*** Please read this entire description before booking, and feel free to ask me any questions you might have! ***
This Rustic cabin is located on 5 scenic acres to allow hiking, campfires, grilling out, and just relaxing while overlooking the grand view of the prairie.
Located near South Bloomingville, OH, it is 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 all included.
The cabin has air conditioning, an electric furnace heater, ceiling fans, leather couch, and a large fire pit! It has beds to sleep 6 (please see below for a description of the bedding arrangement), kitchen with cooktop range, refrigerator, and microwave. Outside, there is a propane grill on the front porch. There is also ample space for a cozy campfire to roast hot dogs and make S'Mores!
Bedding arrangement: There are a total of 4 mattresses: 1 queen size bed in the bedroom (sleeps 2), 2 twin bunkbeds in one corner of the main room (sleeps 2), a pullout couch with full size mattress (sleeps 2). {Entire cabin sleeps 6 adults or more total if children stay or feel free to bring air mattresses!}. The loft shown in the images has been blocked off due to an incident - so please note that it is not usable.

Please note: We have very good feedback at my cabins, and we pride ourselves in trying to make sure folks enjoy their time with us. We will do our best to make sure your stay is a pleasant one. In order to achieve that, we want to make sure you are aware of a few items:
At times an item within the cabin might not be functional. Items such as these will be addressed ASAP by the property manager, and we will always do our best to make sure you are notified prior to booking.
Also note: The shower has a short ceiling height. We had to do this in order to accommodate the sleeping loft. We realize it’s a slight inconvenience, so please accept our apologies in advance due to this.
There is no conventional oven in the cabin, just a small all-in-one kitchen with stove top and sink. If you’d like to bring a crock pot along please feel free to do so; or the propane grill can be used to cook as well as the microwave.
The cabin packs MANY items into a small area; if you have any additional questions please feel free to ask!
We have had recent complaints regarding a window that may not lock, Please be aware sometimes, a window may 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 renters. Many folks come back to the cabins each and every season. Please be sure you understand the above information before choosing to stay here. Thank you. Your booking this cabin acknowledges that you have read and understand the information contained in this ad.so please be sure to read all information prior to booking.
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 it’s possible a rodent may have wandered in. We apologize if this is the case as we truly are doing the best to make sure 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 cockroaches. 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.
When you're ready to relax, grab your favorite beverage, take a seat on the porch and enjoy the view!
Thank you for your patience as you venture out with us into the rural wooded areas of Hocking Hills!

Family Getaway

Great relatively private location and very nice cabin, a little small for our family of five, but ultimately the only major negatives were the kitchen ants and bringing towels, sheets, blankets was very cumbersome. The property managers were really helpful and kind throughout our stay!

Cozy Hideaway

Property was as described in listing. Posted information in cabin very helpful. Communication with property management and owner was very timely and smooth. Minor inconveniences were that the heat went out in a snow storm so we froze our last morning. We brought our own bedding and towels which I didn’t notice in the original listing until after I booked it. It was a good trip regardless and we had fun!

Our stay

Disappointed that we had to take own linens, people we were with had everything supplies at their cabin, need a light by the hot tub/grill, side tables in family room and bedrooms would be nice,, water pressure was horrible. Welcome email came late so we didn’t know we needed linens until the morning of check in. We did have a good time, just thought you would like to know our opinion. Property was very nice. Thank you.

Never again.

It was very quiet where we were. The issues started almost immediately. The bathroom lights stopped working on day one. The spider issues are terrible. I get the property is in the country, but that is absolutely no excuse for not exterminating when you have a problem. Killing 5 spiders in the bedroom within 24 hours is outrageous and I’m certain I came home with more than one spider bite. There is no curtain to cover the window on the front door for any privacy or to block the sun for those sleeping in the living room beds. The bathroom smelled of sewage the entire stay. The fridge under the stove tops was disgusting and should never be opened. This stay was absolutely not worth what I paid. The only positive thing was the patio with the gas grill and hot tub.

Overall good, but not much maintenance

Simple cabin, not too far from the hiking in Hocking Hills, but there was little to no maintenance done on the property. Fire pit was out front, but no firewood was included with the cabin. The large yard was very overgrown, and the shower did not get hot water (it would get Luke warm with the dial as hot as it could go). There was also a fridge under the sink that did not work (and seems as though it had not worked in a LONG time. It smelled when it was opened!) But there was another fridge provided that did work. The hot tub was also OVER chlorinated so it was very hard to enjoy without burning eyes/irritations. The cabin was mostly secluded, but the listing failed to mention that there were 2-3 other cabins within sight of this cabin (some looked to be rentals, one looked like it could be a permanent residence), and we had other families walking up the driveway right next to our deck while sitting outside. This took away from the privacy desired when renting a cabin that appeared to be in a secluded area. Overall, the cabin was nice enough to stay in at night with a small family, but don't expect much else from the property.

Location is great but inside cabin is bad

The location of the cabin is really good. The Hocking Hills park is close ,lots of fresh air , up on the hill with the view on the forest ,however inside cabin is just far from good , Starting with the only bedroom you see only a bed ….. no nightstand not even a piece of furniture to to lay your belongings on , you Have to keep your things inside your bag on the floor ..same thing with bath with tiny sink ,not even a shelf or hooks for towels ,shower curtain very old with brown stains from mold The living room not bad but should have at least a coffee table or something . Kitchen just as bad as the rest of the cabin or probably worse , The owner states can accommodate up to 6 but you make sure you have your own spoons , there is only one tablespoon No teaspoons either , very old horribly rusty pots and pans , and also remember bring your own coffee filters . Last thing the hot tub is sort of not what supposed to do ,the water was just warm but you can’t make the water any warmer .the lights didn’t work and jets were working but making too much noise , This tub should be replaced same with the pots , plates and other things in this cabin ! So Dissatisfied and disappointed! Will never rent again or recommend to anyone.

Good Location With Downsides

Basic cabin close to Hocking Hills. Pros: Hot tub works, close to popular trails, easy check in, fire pit, fast internet, nice view of sunset, nice property owner.Cons: A lot of bugs. At least a dozen flies at any given time. Spiders and ants as well. Kitchen was very dirty. Half of the dishes and utensils had food caked on them. The utensil container had mold in it. The ice cube trays had grass and dirt frozen into the ice cubes. There was a half eaten slice of pizza in the microwave. Obviously no one cleaned the kitchen. The water pressure was very low and would completely stop on and off. The bathroom smelled like sewage. The bed is super hard and noisy. The pillows were flat. The grills had food caked on them. The property has other rentals and the property owner on it as well, so not completely private.This would be okay if you want to save money and stay a short time. Not ideal for a couple or family looking to getaway or vacation.

Beautiful cabin and property

We had a wonderful two night stay at this cabin. The day of check in i couldn't find my code to get it, the owner responded very quickly and the property manager was close by for help as well. Both Daniel and Connie were amazing in helping get checked in. The cabin was very clean and cozy. We will definitely keep these cabins in mind for future stays!

The bed was like sleeping on plywood

Everything was ok, I mean for the price I’d rather stay in a hotel. The couch was old and if two people sat on it you fall to one another and the bed was like sleeping on plywood and it was so bad I maybe got an hour of sleep. That combined with the fact that it was going to rain we just up and left the first thing in the morning and we were supposed to stay a second night so it was a huge waste of money. There was also a wasp in the cabin and ants in the bathroom I mean I get it it’s a cabin but it’s not in the middle of the woods. I really wish I would have know about the bed and the bugs before I booked.
