Overpriced and Misrepresented
The photos representing this home are definitely outdated. The yard was so overgrown and unkempt you couldn’t even enjoy the fire pit that had rotting/broken stumps for seats. We paid extra for amenities that were unusable. The hot tub is on the side of the house through the unkempt yard. It smelled like a decaying animal and the water was dirty. Next was the indoor fireplace that is pictured with a roaring fire. The only thing is the indoor fireplace is not actually a working fireplace. It was stuffed with old paper in the chimney. There were faulty light switches that were loose and only worked sometimes. Pealing paint, lady bugs everywhere, and dirty walls. The neighborhood is very sketchy. The neighbor’s dog barked at all hours of the night and the metal beds make horrendous amounts of noise if you moved a muscle. This is our first stay at a VRBO not personally knowing the owners and we were so disappointed. We couldn’t even figure out how to contact the host to mention our dissatisfaction. We learned a very big lesson… always read the comments and don’t go by overall rating because somehow this place had a high rating. We loved Hocking Hills and will be back but will never stay in this home again.

Overall a good stay with a few flaws
So the house overall has a lot of character that we liked. The vicinity to the road and loud traffic was too much for us. There were fans in each room but one was unusable. The walls are very very thin. You hear everything that goes on outside. Someone else talked about a German Shepard barking. We did not hear him but the dog across the street but not constantly upon making breakfast the first day we opened the cabinet to find dirty dishes filled with mouse turds. I messaged our host two days before coming and still have not gotten a response (5 days later) All in all it was a roof over our heads but if you are a light sleeper this is an absolute no go. The charm is there but more work is definitely needed

Clean house yard overgrown
House was clean and well stocked. However, the yard needed mowed. Grass was very high and weeds blocked the walking path to the house. Electronic lock to the door was ridiculously difficult to lock. Took about 10 minutes to get the lock to work each time we left the house.

Cute old home
We enjoyed our short stay at this charmingly updated old home near the heart of downtown Logan. It had everything we needed. However, the lock on the back door is super temperamental. Based on the recent reviews for the property, this is not a new issue. It really needs fixed. And the cobwebs around the ceiling moldings, especially in the dining room, need cleared out. Other than those two items, it is a great property.

Good location, decent price
House was clean and appropriate. Some areas were lacking such as cleanliness of backyard with overgrown cut grass and a/c circulation to upstairs rooms. We slept on ground floor because it felt atleast 10 degrees difference in temp. None of them deal breakers but something that could be remedied or specified in description.

Just okay
The property was very easy to access and very clean. Unfortunately, upon arrival, the back door was standing wide open. The house is in a very rough location with sketchy looking homes on either side and directly across the street. Upon entering, we had to ensure that no one had broken into the home. The lock on the back door DOES NOT WORK. When reaching out to the owner to ask for someone to come repair, it was essentially disregarded as “the weather made the door swell.” We were told to go in and out the front door. All good, except there is a door to the home that DOES NOT LOCK in a neighborhood that feels less than safe. In addition to the fact that the homes next door look suspect, there is a German Shepherd caged in the backyard next door that barks incessantly. If you’re coming for a relaxing weekend, this dog will ensure you don’t achieve it! Finally, this property should not list a hot tub. You cannot easily access it (walk through the grass with no way to get into it as others mentioned) and it’s practically sitting under the windows of the neighbors’ house with the caged German Shepherd directly on the other side of the fence. No thank you! That was a huge bummer. Overall, it was fine, but I would not stay here again and would recommend others book with caution.

Great time
The place was nice and was homey. The hot tub didn’t work but probably due to the weather being cold. There was a lot of ladybugs which was random but they weren’t too bothersome. Other than that it was a good time.

We loved our stay in this beautiful old house! The hot tub was perfect after a long day of hiking! All of the bedrooms and also the bathroom are upstairs. My mom did have a little trouble with that, but we would still stay here again.

Adequate but not what we expected
The house had some nice features like beautiful woodwork, smart TVs and was adequate for our needs. The hot tub advertised was disappointing. The water smelled like mold and there was sand and dirt in the bottom of it so we didn't use it at all. The beds were not comfortable and the upstairs was difficult to cool at night.

Old charm with updates.
The owner was super nice. Let me know there was an issue with the shower before we arrived so we could try finding other arrangements. Which we couldn’t. So we rinsed off in the sink and used the water hose. It was only 2 days so not a huge issue. Just a little inconvenient. However, maintenance showed up at 7:30 am to fix it. Without fixing it. That was a bit early. Considering we made a late night the night prior. Other than that everything was fine.

Disappointing
We would have chosen to contact the owner directly, but VRBO doesn't allow that after your stay. When arriving the door was hanging open 2". Some people might immediately be turned away for fear there was a break in. Based on our impression of the neighborhood it would support that fear, the neighborhood and surrounding homes are sketchy. We were told the back door is "tricky", obviously by the fact it was open. There is a 1/4" gap over the door when closed to the outdoors. If anyone wanted to break into the house a moderate push would open the back door immediately. The back door needs work, as does the railing on the right side of the porch which is severely rotted. There is a large paint peel 2x6" hanging in the dining room. The sheets and pillows have seen their best days a long time ago and need updating due to pilling on the sheets. There were only 5 hangers in all of the closets for hanging of clothes which was not sufficient for a group of people. The yard currently has about 8" tall grass. It's hard to get to the hot tub through 8" grass and expect your feet to be clean going in, and we had to pick out grass from the tub due to carrying it in from the yard. Using the hot tub was a turn off due to the condition of the yard that you had to walk through. The plus side, the home is clean and kitchen appliances new, dining room spacious and beds are comfortable, with the exception of the linens. Internet worked well and location is great to downtown Logan and Hocking Hills. We had 2 communications with the owner, one with a delayed response and one with no response about the door being open upon arrival.

Decent location to Hocking Hills. Bedrooms roomy and comfortable. Parking is not close to the house and you’ll have to navigate stairs to get to the house and stairs to get up to the back porch. Otherwise it had decent amenities.

Pros Outweigh Cons
Pros:Excellent Wi-Fi. Very clean. Easy in and out. Owners very responsive. Close to hiking and restaurants. Super cute decor. It had everything we needed. All the dishes were very nice and clean. Bedding, towels, bathroom all very clean. Cons: Loud location. Loud house. It’s old (but restored beautifully) so the walls are thin. We could hear the neighbor yelling at his dog through the night. The busy road has motorcycles and semis driving past which normally wouldn’t bother me but again…I could hear everything. The beds are very comfortable and are the cutest metal frames. But that means metal springs that screech every time someone rolls over. The floors and doors moan (I promise loudly.) And the bathroom door you have to slam shut for it to close. So sneaking to the bathroom in the morning wakes up the whole house. However! If you’re a heavy sleeper, none of this will bother you and you’ll absolutely adore everything about this home. I would probably stay here again.
