About this property

Kick Back Cabin - The Original - Hot Tub and Walking Trails

  • Tucked back in the woods, at the edge of 23 acres of a roughly 150 yr. old farm, this spacious, Amish built cabin built in 2006, is the ideal place to kick back and relax with friends or just your better half. Kick Back Cabin was originally the previous owner's art studio. With walking trails on the property that lead to a small creek and a seasonal pond, the scenery is sure to inspire.

    This cabin is also at the epicenter of the Hocking Hills region and all that it has to offer!

    Looking for more scenery and hiking? 17 miles to Ash Cave / 12 miles to the famous Uncle Buck's Riding Stable and Dance Barn

    Have a passion for boating, fishing, or swimming? 7 miles to Lake Hope State Park and Murray's Landing Canoe Livery

    Adventure seeker? 17 miles to R Adventure Park / 20 miles to Hocking Hills Canopy Tours

    History lover? 6.5 miles to historic Nelsonville, OH (Home of Hocking Valley Scenic Railway and Rocky Boot)

    Love the night life or unique cuisine? 16 miles to Athens, home of Ohio University

    Kick Back Cabin is truly in the middle of everything the Hocking Hills region has to offer!

Perfect place to relax with pets

We enjoyed our stay and were able to relax with our two dogs. The fenced in area and enclosed upper deck were such a bonus. The walking trails were really nice and the hot tub gave us a perfect view of the night sky. It was a perfect place for our short get away. We would definitely recommend and stay there again!

Nice spot, close to attractions

Nice cozy cabin tucked away off the road in the woods, yet close enough to any and all attractions (Athens/Hocking/lake hope/etc) without being in the thick of things. Will stay again when visiting the region!

Hiking week

We had a wonderful stay at this house. Very relaxing when we returned from a day of hiking. The outdoor areas were nice. The porches were nice to sit and relax. Quiet area also. Everything inside was what we needed.

Great Location to major trails

Great location. Very Dog friendly. My dog loved being able to go in and out of the doggy doors into a fenced in space. It’s way off the main road so very private. Hot tub was a nice highlight. WiFi was pretty good for being that far out.

great property

Great location...convenient to Athens and Hocking Hills destinations but out-of-the-way enough for relative quiet. Well-maintained and interesting trails on-property, and a nicely appointed, spacious cabin. Highly recommend, esp if you're bringing doggie friends, who will love their own fenced-in run.

The cabin was nice, clean, well maintained. Kitchen and grill worked. All furnishings were in good condition. There were family games, small collection of DVDs. Hot tub worked well. The only issue was the WIFI was very poor to barely functioning. Really need a more reliable WIFI/internet in this geography where Verizon & ATT cell phone coverage is spotty.

Comfortable & Peaceful

The cabin is tucked away at the back of the property and is quiet/secluded. The scenery was beautiful and we were easily able to get to many of the local hiking spots and state parks. If you are bringing a dog, the side yard is a great amenity.
