Very peaceful weekend

This was a repeat stay for us. We've been here a few times. It's a really nice place if you want to bring your dog since there is a fenced in area on one end and tie outs on the other end near the fire pit and hot tub. We very much enjoy the openness of the cabin and all the windows with a nice view of the outdoors. We have enjoyed walking the paths around the cabin, but this past time kind of found ourselves a little lost in our wanders. We were looking for the pond and couldn't find it. There used to be a hand-drawn map in the cabin, but we couldn't find that to give us better direction on the paths. Hopefully somebody can draw up another one. I would say to other potential renters, if you intend on cooking, bring your own sturdy utensils and pots/pans. This is not a gourmet kitchen. We made do. Note to owner: we would really love you if you updated that couch. It's not comfortable at all.

Overall I was very happy with our stay. The VRBO pictures need updated in my opinion. The cabin is clearly older than the pictures but we had a great time.

Secluded!!

We loved where the cabin was at, no neighbors. Cabin was very nice and clean. Loved the windows, but the small ones on top really need to be washed. The bathroom, now that's a whole other issue! The shower was tiny and I mean very tiny. The toilet was child size and your knees hit the shower when sitting on it.

getaway to hike and include our dog, Odin

Loved the location, so peaceful, trails behind us, no one around. very spacious with plenty of room. Fenced in deck and back yard, so Odin did not need to be leashed. Had everything we needed. Would go back and stay there again. Have a great 2-night getaway.

Quiet weekend away

Spotlessly clean! Kick Back was a great cabin for two adults and our Labrador. Nice touches for dog owners. We particularly loved the two completely fenced areas out each of the side doors. The cabin is at the back of the property, very nice and private. We would definitely stay again.

Great trip

Overall it was a good trip, the kick back cabin was nice. More remote than I expected. But we made it work. The town neilsonville did not have much and was kind of empty not much for dinning out. But the caves near by was absolutely beautiful and was a lot to do closer to the caves. Otherwise the cabin and property was beautiful and quiet nice and relaxing. We did loose power one time but came right back on, a storm blew thru quickly. Cell reception was very spotty and the Internet was spotty to. But overall was a great trip and the cabin was nice and clean.

The honest review.

I would totally stay here again... It has potential to be great! It's huge inside! The structure is really cool. Very open space to relax and spend time after long hikes. It's very close to all of the wonderful destinations Hocking Hills has to offer. We enjoyed swinging on the porch and listening to the birds. It's also affordable and you can bring your dog. What more could you ask for? However... This is an honest review. Either the renter isn't taken care of the property, or the people that are being hired to take care of it aren't doing their job. Upon first arriving, I could tell that the property was not up kept on the exterior. It hadn't been mowed or weed whipped in quite some time. There was a tree that had fallen on the structure above the hammock (which was disgusting/unusable). The entire deck was filthy and hadn't been swept off. There were leaves all over the hot tub cover (which we didn't use, I didn't trust the water was clean). The grill was filthy. I didn't use it. Inside.... There were obvious signs of neglect/ abuse. The curtain rods are all bent up because people probably abuse the cabin. The doors don't close properly in the bedroom and the bathroom smells pretty bad. Everything in every cabinet/ drawer is either junk, or out of place, and should be thrown away. The fans are kind of sketchy. It needs updated or someone to really go through it give it some TLC. It could be immaculate!

Although I thought the cabin was very nice inside, it was not maintenanced outside and cleaned inside like it should be. Everything online as far as making arrangements was easy. Nick was always there if I had any questions or concerns. The location I have got to say was awesome. Very private and secluded. It was a nice weekend getaway for our family
