Yes, you shared with us initially, and as we expected, finding the cabin was a bit of an adventure, but once we called and asked for directions, it was easy. The only comment I would have is that I think the bedroom should have a ceiling fan in it to keep it cool during the summer… The air conditioner in the main room didn’t quite cool the bedroom but all in all, it was good. The location sure was secluded!

Every was great. The door code sent to me was not correct and the instructions for the hot tub lid were non correct. There was supposed to be a lifting bar for the lid and there wasn't.

Overnight get away

The cabin was great. Want to book it again. Host did not respond to email questions on the contact host link , but everything worked out well. TV is in an awkward spot - but not sure anything can be done about it - its above the fire place. Bedroom could maybe use a shelf or small night stand. Overall very nice. I hope to go back. Would recommend it.

Adorable cabin

Other than the automatic key code not working, everything else was great! Had our doubts on the road leading to the driveway of the cabins, the junkyard of cars being tirn apart gave some bad vibes initially.The couch and hot tub could be updated, but overall, it is a great place in our opinion! We'd definitely rent it again!

Needs work.

What you read is what you get. The property manager is unreachable. Kitchen wear was in very poor condition and some of it was still dirty, so i am happy we brought our own. Most of the jets for the hot tub were rolling around in the bottom... paint peeling, stained and jets did not work properly. Took a half hour with a toothpick to get the corrosion out of the shower head so it was usable. No fan or ac in the bedroom and hot as af. It is a good location and reasonably private compared to some, but think I would pick somewhere different on a second trip.

Legos and Steak Dinner!

My boyfriend and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary here and it was lovely! We came to check in after a day hiking and fishing and touring the shops around town- it was so pretty when we walked in! In my opinion better than the photos but photos sometimes don't do justice. We spent time in the hot tub talking and listening to nature, we built Legos as that's our little hobby and made a steak dinner while watching The Sting with Paul Newman. (Great movie, you should watch it) We made breakfast the next day and had an easy check out! We loved our stay and everything Hocking Hills had to offer! (Especially the pistachio ice cream at the nearby ice cream place! So good!)

Cute cabin in the woods mostly private. My only complaint is the shower, the valve was so tight had a heck of a time turning it on and the water pressure was to high felt like i was being pummeled.Otherwise it was a great stay

Cozy little cabin

Had a great stay in this cozy little cabin. This cabin was our second cabin we have stayed in at Avenwood, and it did not disappoint us. The cabin was clean, and had all the necessities that we needed. The bed was comfortable with a memory foam mattress. Will definitely return. Will definitely return.mattressWilreturn.

Much to be desired

Well, zero communication regarding how to actually use the door lock. Thank God they provide information on a back-up method. The first thing I noticed was the cleaning board stated the last cleaning was performed 1/5/2025 which is weird and gross because the last review was listed as 1/6/2025. Half drank water bottles in the bedroom. All the reviews are correct. Bring your own cooking utensils and spices and grab the microwave handle way up high if you need to use it because it really is broken. Do not try to open the bottom drawer of the stove because it's rigged to stay closed. You're going to question your safety driving up to the property. It was pretty safe, just a lot of noise and people yelling from nearby cabins. Take soaps, lotions, towels. The fireplace will only work if the temperature on the thermostat is actually lower than what the AC unit is programmed for. Essentially, be prepared to not have a working fireplace unless you purposely allow it to get cold in the cabin and then bump up the AC temp. It's weird. Lastly... the hot tub. It has some wear and tear but it looked and smelled clean. It's not. Bacteria causes folliculitis which you will contract if you use this tub. This is all information coming from personal experience with this specific cabin and its amenities. For added measure: Ash Cave and Cedar Falls are a 40 minute drive from the property. Logan and Hocking Hills Winery are about 25 minutes.
