Delightful getaway

The Settler’s Retreat was a fantastic experience. We enjoyed the historic atmosphere, the large yard, and fire pit.

Fabulous place-inside and out!

Cabin had the perfect combination of rustic charm and modern elements which enhanced our getaway to the hills! Greatly appreciated the privacy afforded by the acreage, especially when in the hot tub and hanging at the fire pit. Look forward to going back again soon!

Perfect cozy weekend getaway

This cabin is the a perfect weekend getaway for a couple or group of friends. The hot tub was amazing and extremely relaxing during the cold weather. We also enjoyed the fire pit and appreciated the stacked wood next to it. I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to relax.

Great Cabin!

This historic cabin was amazing. Had both modern amenities and historical charm. The property is beautiful. Isolated and quiet but not too far from the highway and an easy drive from Columbus. The host was very communicative and helpful. Would highly recommend!

Best weekend ever.

The property was everything we thought and more. Great views, comfortable bedrooms, common rooms and spaces were amazing. Hiking the area was fun, and repelling at High Rock Adventures was awesome. Fun was had by all of us and we look forward to next year.

Homey getaway

We enjoyed our stay for a family holiday getaway. It was open and clean. You may want earplugs or a white noise machine if you are a light sleeper, as the floors are open in some places and noise carries easily.

Nice family getaway

The cabin was clean and we had a great stay. We all enjoyed the fire pit, horseshoes and corn hole tremendously. It was close quarters for our family of 12. One of the bathrooms was very small so additional mirrors in the bedrooms would help when multiple people were getting ready at the same time. We enjoyed the local hiking and had a great dinner at the Hungry Buffalo one evening. Overall a great stay and our family had fun!

4 kids 4 adults and two furbabes

We had a lovely time here. The acreage is amazing. The kids and dogs had a blast roaming around freely. There were a couple of great trees for a few hammocks. The firepit was great, especially because of the short distance from the house. Our only complaints were that we didn't have enough trash bags or papertowels. No salt/pepper, nor storage bags/containers for leftovers. Otherwise, it was perfect! We ❤️ Hocking Hills and the Settlers Retreat was the perfect homebase.

Great Family Trip

This was a great place to stay. A couple of things to take note of: families with kids, this is a loud house. You can hear everything so if your kids need quiet to sleep, this may not be the place for you. The hot tub does not keep the heat up and we were there in early fall so I couldn't imagine how fast it cools off in the winter. The lighting was also very dim, especially in the kitchen when cooking. Overall, the cabin gave our family wonderful memories!

Wife’s Surprise 50th friends/family

Great experience at settlers retreat. All the amenities that you would expect. Very clean, great memory foam beds. Don’t expect much privacy as this is a very rustic home with wood slat floors/ceilings that you can see hear thru. Hot tub water quality and cleanliness could use some work but we still enjoyed. You’re in the country so be prepared for a strong sulfur scent when showering/using the sinks. Great horse shoe and fire pit the we all enjoyed. Great location, short 15 min drive north and south to restaurants/wineries, and exploring Hocking Hills. Would book again.

family weekend getaway

The property was exactly as described online. The renovations done to this historic cabin were really great. Kitchen has all modern appliances. Plenty of dishes, flatware, glassware and cups for our entire group. There was plenty of outdoor seating around the firepit and on the deck as well. The only issue was an unanswered call to the property owner regarding a faulty ceiling light in the bathroom above one of the showers. Overall we had a great time and I would recommend this cabin to anyone booking for a large group. We had 8 adults, 1 toddler, 1 infant, and a dog. There was plenty of room for all of us.

wonderful place

We so enjoyed our stay at this retreat. The property was well kept and very private. the deer were up close and were daily visitors both morning and evenings. we did have to deal with quite a few black wasps that decided to seek the warmth inside upstairs, but as the weather was changing we understood. it's their habitat after all. The only disappointment we did have was that the hot tub was not hot. It kept returning to 95 degrees and that was way to warm, kinda like bathwater. all and all though we loved this place and will return again.

Perfect little getaway

This place has all of the charm and character of a cabin built in the 1800's. It was very clean and well maintained. And it had all of the modern conveniences one could expect for a luxurious vacation. Granite counters in the kitchen. French door refrigerator. Nice hot tub on the patio. Nestled almost in the middle of Logan and Lancaster. With all of the conveniences of the larger shopping areas of Lancaster, and close enough to the activities of the hocking hills that nothing was more than a 15-20 minute drive. I will definitely have to come back in the warmer months and try and spend some more time on the Hocking Hills trails.

Spring Break Get-a-way

This cabin was a great place to stay with family. The beds were comfortable and we felt like we were at home! Overall, the place was clean, but was disappointed in the cleanliness of the hot tub (even after maintenance came and re-cleaned it). The hot tub had a lot of debris floating in it. One of the washers was not working and our clothes were "stuck" in the front loading washer until the maintenance guy came. Some essential items were missing/not provided, such as a way to light the campfire (was told we had to purchase our own lighter, even though this was a perk of booking this place) and no can opener. There was a limited amount of toilet paper, dishwasher pods, and laundry pods. We stayed one week and had run out of toilet paper and barely made it with the pods. Communication with the owner was good.

Family shenanigans

We had an awesome time. The house was the perfect size for 7 of us, and the grounds were beautiful. The property manager was incredibly responsive and came right out when we had an issue with the dishwasher. A few suggestions: the dishwasher, which I understand is new, needs to be secured in place - that was the reason we couldn't get it to start. The two bottom drawers to the left of the stove are broken... since we were there for a whole week and cooked all our meals, this was annoying. Food storage was a solvable issue, but the only cabinets in which we could store dry goods were to the right of the fridge. Those were chock full of various small kitchen appliances, some being duplicates of what was already out on the shelves. I had to pull them all out and find temporary homes for them. Finding another place to keep them permanently would free up place for food storage. It would have been nice to have some serving bowls and platters. There were no trash bins outside the house, so we had to carry the trash up the driveway to the dumpster every day. I say these as suggestions, truly. I would highly recommend this house, and would stay there again!!

Ok, but….

Ok. My significant other and I brought our family to this area to do some hiking in Hocking Hills. The area was nice and very peaceful. The house was as described. However, a few things to note if you decide to book this property. This house is very rustic in the front part which adds to the charm. But the floors are original and you can actually see through them into the bedrooms on the lower level. Not a huge deal for us as we took our kids but may be an issue for a group of couples or friends. The hot tub we couldn’t use, it had mildew on the sides and on the seats and smelled horrible. We have used several hot tubs in different rentals over the years and have never seen this before. We didn’t call as it was really too hot for us to get in and we think it needs to be fully drained and the lines jet cleaned. Kitchen was fully stocked no issues. We were a little concerned about the electrical as when we plugged in our phones the plug boxes got hot and the power strip for the water tank dispenser kept snapping and shutting off. Beds were super comfy in all rooms. The water is true well water. Which if you’re not used to is a bit overwhelming. We have grown up in the south and I felt the sulfur smell here was quite strong. Might need a better water softener in this rental? Overall we had a great time here and would consider staying again. Not sure this would be the right house for all families though.

Great weekend cabin!

We enjoyed the kitchen area so much. A great gathering area. Plenty of space especially since it was pretty cold the weekend we stayed. Very nicely stocked with everything you could think of needing. Also enjoyed the fire pit! Thanks for a great place for our family to spend time together.

Fun little getaway

We, us four sisters, chose this property for a family getaway as a gift to our parents. It was plenty of room with a variety of activities to keep the kids entertained and room for the adults to be able to visit both inside and outside. Our group headed to Hocking Hills State Park and Nelsonville during the days and came home to horse shoes, fire, hot tub, and family game night around the dinner table. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our breakfasts and dinners. The space was able to accommodate our family. And the backyard had beautiful leaves changing and deer watching. Would go back!

Great cabin, but

The cabin is really nice. Our party was my wife and I, seniors, all three of our adult children and their significant others, 4 grand kids from ages nine to one. and two dogs. So we used up all three bedrooms and the loft. It came very well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. The only thing we would have wanted is a baking tray or two to make biscuits. But we got by. The kitchen and dining room are wonderful spaces for all of us. The grill is an awesome Weber connected to the NG. This is such an important activity to cook and eat together. So overall we had a really wonderful family get away. We all very much need it. The location is not bad. But Sugar Grove Rd can get a little traffic on it. It is under an hour to get there from Columbus, so that is nice. While it is rural, I would not call it remote. There was plenty of privacy on the lot. It is located out of view of any neighbors. The fire pit is nice especially with the chairs provided. And we definitely had two nights of cozy fires in the cool October air with the firewood that was already at the property too! There were a few things that keep us from rating this lovely cabin the full 5 stars. It got down in the 30's both nights we were there. There is one thermostat down stairs. some of the rooms were burning up and others were freezing. It seems that some rooms had forced air and others had the old fashioned open grates. I am glad we brought a few extra blankets and sleeping bags. We managed to get by. I think it sort of adds to the rustic atmosphere. But this inconsistent temperature from room to room was unexpected. The worst condition we found was that when we were making the pull out sofa in the loft, we noticed a stink bug on the couch pillow. After pulling the couch away from the wall we had a closer examination. It looked like a stink bug graveyard on the floor next to the wall. And the window sill on that wall was loaded up with about three or four dozen dead or dying stink bugs too. There were gaps around the window. It looked it had not been cleaned behind the sleeper sofa in a long time. There was corn chips and an old straw in the mix too. Again overall a nice cabin. And we enjoyed our family time. But we feel for the price it could be better,
