Relaxing Weekend
We had a wonderful weekend enjoying biking, hiking, and visits to local breweries. The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The views from the porches were beautiful. Truly a great visit.

Other people were in our cabin. They had made a mistake
It was fine except for the people that had moved into the wrong cabin which created a little extra trouble for us. Maybe house numbers on a sign in the yard

House is exactly as described. Super comfy beds, you can tell it is a work in progress but for the price and the view it is def worth the stay.

A great place tucked away in the hills outside of Athens.
A nice place to stay for vacation or work trips as the property is is close enough to Athens for convenience but far enough away from to be quiet and secluded. Very dog friendly as they provide food/water bowls, towels for and a nice little mowed walking path to take the mutts for a walk. I'd definitely stay here again if I'm needing a place in the area.

Ohio's Windy 9
The cabin was just what we needed for our motorcycle trip to Athens. The driveway was a little tricky on the motorcycle but that won't stop us from returning. The views were great! The welcoming basket was a nice touch! Grinding my own coffee beans in the morning was a first for me! We were only able to ride 2 of Ohio's Windy 9 so we will be back!!

Beautiful area; cabin could've been cleaner
My family and I had a good time staying here. Pros: the kitchen was fully-stocked with all pots, pans, dishes, utensils, etc. that you could possibly need. The oven was brand new, as well as the kitchen counter. The living room had new furniture. The view was completely amazing. Two new decks had recently been built and they were really nice. The location was wonderful. It was quiet and we loved seeing and hearing the wildlife. The owners were very nice and quick to respond to any messages. They left us eggs fresh from their chickens and that was really cool. The beds were both king-sized and very comfortable. We all slept well every night. It's also a plus that they accept pets, as we were able to bring our dog and he enjoyed himself, as well. For the cons: It was honestly difficult to believe that any sort of cleaning had been done before we arrived. The listing said that all high-touch surfaces are cleaned after each guest, but the refrigerator handle, as well as the inside of it, were very dirty and covered in old pieces of food. We had to clean it before putting any of our food inside of it. I did tell the owners about that and they apologized and said that they were planning on replacing that fridge soon. That wasn't the only thing that was dirty, though. The kitchen table had crumbs on it, the front door was covered in some brown liquid, there were spider webs all over the kitchen, the drawers were not clean inside, the light switches in every room were dirty, the knobs on the oven were dirty, and the floors appeared to have not been swept. The bathroom had dried toothpaste spit on the walls above the sink, and every wall in the cabin was covered with bug dirt. There were a lot of stink bugs in the cabin, as is expected when out in the country, but it would've been nice if their dirt had been cleaned off of the walls. There were trails of it everywhere, including on the wall that the bed was backed up against, so that was pretty gross. The cabin is currently under construction and I can see that they are making wonderful improvements, so I do feel bad even noting these things, but it definitely needed to be cleaned a lot more before we came in for our stay. We had to clean a lot of things ourselves upon arrival. There was also an outlet cover missing in the living room, which was a little dangerous for our child to be near, and the whole place smelled like moth balls, which we quickly got used to. I give this cabin a 3 overall.

Hey I appreciate the honest review. You are right we are in transition. Winter has been rough, I spent the day cleaning the yard. It was a mess.. We apologize that the cabin wasn't up to standard on the cleaning. I take that seriously. We did wipe the surfaces down, we must of missed some spots and/or set something on the table afterward. We aim to do better than what was described..I guess its time for some spring cleaning.. i wasn't aware of the electric cover ill check it out. Thanks for letting us know the good and bad we really do appreciate all feedback.

A Frame Cabin In Athens
We were pleasantly surprised when we go to the property. The owner had done some upgrades. There was a new porch in the back and a new balcony off the one bedroom. The steps leading to the bedrooms had been replaced. They put new furniture in the front room (a double recliner/rocker and two new chairs). The bedrooms each had a king size bed and they were very comfortable. The scenery was gorgeous. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone. Mr. Kish was very nice. We had a great time exploring State Parks in the area. It was wonderful.

My family and I were looking for a weekend getaway and that's exactly what we got! George and Kat supply the cabin with more than we expected! They were even able to bring us a wifi hotspot to use so my son would survive 😆. We enjoyed our time in the cabin and are already trying to figure out when we can return! 9nce again I would recommend this cabin to any of my friends or family!! Thanks again for everything!!

Unfortunate
The towels were delightful... and that is about all we can say positive about this property. The walls and floor were tilted and leaning. The 3 AC units were so loud one could hardly talk to each other. The stairs were like climbing a cliff face. We were greeted with a nasty odor which we eventually just got used to. The porches were filthy and the furniture was torn apart and run down. The screen door wouldn't close. Several lightbulbs were not working. The toilet seat had paint chips coming off of it. Overall it just did not seem like a clean, sanitary place to stay. Also - this property should not be listed under Hocking Hills area. it was a good 45 minute drive to Hocking Hills.

Wow! People cease to amaze me what they expect for 75$ per night.Did you even read the description of the AFRAME Cabin? .Look our cabin is not brand new its 30 plus years old, we are doing everything we can with it and most guests as our reviews state, appreciate it. We clean like crazy so I dont know what to tell you there(fakenews), the toilet seat is wood so no paint? The cabin is an AFRAME cabin so yeah the walls are tilted??? And yes we warn you the stairs are steep. And when you asked how far we are from hocking hills I clearly told you 30-45 minutes depending where we are going. If you show up and really think a place is 1 star you should've let us know we would refund your $ and you could have stayed at a hotel for twice the price.. shame on you!

Wow really? 1 star? Our first! Did you even look at what you were renting before for showing up? I wonder since the first thing you asked was where is the hot tub, we dont do hot tubs? You were here a week, we asked you several time how you were and you said everything was good everytime.. I'll stand on my previous reviews get a grip lady..

Week long rental at Xmas holiday to visit with family.
I did not see the info on the property that Informs the stairs to the bedroom is up some very steep stairs. All bedrooms upstairs with one bathroom downstairs. This was very difficult for me since I have one bad knee. The outside of the property was not very well lit and had stumps and runts which were unsafe when getting to the front door. Much better stay for younger people and maybe only 2 days and nights as opposed to a week. The kitchen “table” was very tiny and had supplies on top. There was no coffee table in the living room to set up table game or even eat comfortably there instead if the kitchen. The owners were very nice. I think it just is probably a better place for a younger crowd. They accommodate dogs which is a plus!
