Nice quiet place.
We had an extended family stay here for a weekend. The cabin was as expected from the photos and AC worked well for the hot days we had. The cabin does need a bit of work, floors inside were loose in some places, and exterior work, but didn't affect our stay. Previous guests have been hard on some furniture. Overall cleanliness was good, but one of our guests noticed some floating debris in the hot tub.

We were celebrating my son's graduation from college with a family vacation. We had plenty of room. Loved the fire pit area. Good location to area attractions. The house could use some love, but it worked out well for our group of eight. Communication with the hosts was excellent.

Not good
One couple in our party checked in an hour early and found dead flies throughout the place. The owner said it was because they checked in before the cleaning crew came. The cleaners did come then and were there for about two hours. When the left all was good but then we had flies dying all over the place all weekend long. It was pretty disgusting. In addition to that the dishwasher did not work and we texted the owner and it remained broken during the weekend. We stayed here the previous year and loved it so much we returned but this was a very different experience this year.

Family Weekend Getaway
I wanted to take my family away to just spend some time together and relax, as when we usually all get together, it's for holidays and very hectic. This was perfect!On Friday night, we had a pizza making contest and my adult kids played games and went into the hot tub in the light snow! I woke up early before anyone else on Saturday and sat in the living room with a cup of hot coffee, while looking out at the snow. It was a great chance to just eat all day, spend time together and have a fun family game night that was long overdue. Everyone had a wonderful time and talked about going back in warmer weather, although my kids that used the hot tub loved it even more because it was snowing!Definitely recommend for a family getaway or reunion.

Lack of empathy
The house was really nice.....however, there where several red flags there was no service in the house because all the usage depends on wifi ...the power continued to go out on numerous occasions... My car was stuck in the snow the property owners son was able to pull me out of the snow, and i was very very grateful....However the owner showed no empathy at all even that the house was cold to the point that we had to leave a after being there for less then 24 hrs...there was no running water and the heat did not work. We could not call for help because there was no wifi and the owner not once attempted to make contact or to check on us... We had to keep leaving the property to contact them.. i booked the place because it was what i was lookingfor to help my sister and neice celebrate thier birthday.. but it came to a end early due to the unfortunate circumstances

Annual Bunion Friendsgiving
The place exceeded our expectations. We get together every year - we are all seniors and usually go to Hocking Hills. We had to move up our stay this year and decided to try this place based on what we saw online. It was great because it had all the bedrooms on the first floor. The only thing we would suggest is that you have more kitchen chairs we had to bring some folding chairs.

50th Anniversary Celebration
Our family returned to the family homestead in Farmington, PA to celebrate our 50th anniversary with almost 100 family and friends. We spent 5 nights in this house preparing for the party and it more than met our expectations. The hot tub was great on the cool autumn evenings. We found the owner to be extremely responsive to our questions and requests. We would definitely stay there again.

This property needs some TLC and updating. There are a lot of problems with the floor. There are two unmarked, and potentially dangerous, level changes going from the living room to the kitchen. The carpet is dirty. There are unless places under the carpeting and in the kitchen floor. Towered are a lot of trip hazards. On some of the window sills inside, there were a lot dead flies. Deadbolts on some of the multiple doors didn’t seem installed well or safe.
Outside area was good. There is a great fire pit and nice hot tub.

Quiet and roomy for a family weekend
Our group of 8 adults had a great weekend stay here. The property is spacious and quiet, and we enjoyed splashing in the creek running through it. The rooms are spacious and most have their own bathroom, so there was plenty of room for a big group to spread out and not feel crowded. We did cook most of our meals in the house and my only feedback would be to provide a few more kitchen supplies like mixing bowls, serving trays, etc.
