"Went away for our anniversary- took 1yo with us. Loved the location close to parks, cute property, easy to locate. This current property allowed kids, other than having a pack n play, would not recommend for small children.. lots of cute decor for temptation. Steep stairwell.. it's the prefect getaway when child free 🙂"

"For any "vintage" lovers, this is the village to stay in. We enjoy antiques, history, etc and this is such a great place to enjoy those things. We recommend taking an electric skillet or slow cooker as there are no ways to cook for yourself. The microwave is currently out of commission so plan for that or check before you go. We were visiting our daughter who is in school at OU and this was only about 35min from her. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying in the other...

Cookie Cottage Centrally Located Within The Hocking Hills
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (110)
"The cottage has been recently updated. The interior looks brand new. The electric fireplace was very nice. I didn't have time to explore the property, because I was there mostly at night. I would definitely stay there again. Cell service isn't great, but it is great if you want to get away from, the stresses from everyday life. Bring an extra blanket if you are there when it is cold outside."

Nelsonville Hotel - Hostel
1.0 star property
5.8 out of 10, (43)
"The place needs some work and cleaning(swept)but overall alright. The bed was comfortable and clean. The kitchen, "commons area" and bathroom were alright but again need swept. The location is awesome. The view and trail into the forest is wonderful. The front stairs are a workout, as well as the driveway/parking hill in back. I saw no towels but didnt ask for any."

"Beautiful little village of rentals with the caboose being, what i think, the best. Very small but also manageable with two 6 foot tall adults... it's tight at that height so be aware. Great location for all of hocking hills! Thanks so much and will definitely be staying again!"
