This place was perfect! Arriving late in the evening, the lights were on and it felt like we were arriving at home. Large, spacious rooms exactly as pictured with lots of furnishings and utensils for cooking and baking. We had our Thanksgiving dinner here and the views and location couldn't have been better. It was discussed to celebrate other holidays here as well. Thank you!

Wonderful location to relax and enjoy nature.

The cabin was clean, fully equipped, and provided a family-friendly location to vacation. The fire-pit and hot tub were a favorite for our family.

We had a great weekend at the Cardinal's Nest!

The cabin was in a great spot (once you made it past the lower drive, yikes!). Beautiful views. Very clean!

Beautiful Home & Area

First of all the house is really nice! There are a lot of great little details that they thought of - and higher end furnishings. Some of these VRBO's are not that well decorated or furnished. This one is nicely funished with comfy beds! The loft area was perfect for our 4, 7 & 13 year old kids. The kitchen is nicely equiped, but the ice maker was broken and they only had 2 ice cube trays, so plan accordingly. It's not like there is a store around the corner! There are a lot of stone steps to unload your car. Also when you pull in the drive it looks like a junkyard, but you will be rewarded...once you see the Cardinal's Nest sign and head left it gets much better! Great views from the house. We saw a deer and wild turkey most evenings when we got back to the house. The hot tub is nice, as is the fire pit. The Hocking Hills area is really fun with a lot of things to do. Make sure you check out the public pool in Logan - it's really nice with a high dive, low dive, curly slide and kids play area. It's affordable and really nice. The pizza place in Logan was good. We found most of the waterfalls around Hocking Hills were almost dry but that's just the time of year - it had been dry and hot. The trails and caves and cliffs are awesome. Great trip! I would definitely stay at Cardinal's Nest again. Thanks for making things nice and easy after a full day of hiking in the heat!

The property did not disappoint. It was just as pictured. The beds were comfortable, the location is secluded so you canenjot the deck and hot tub. The driveway is steep and curvy , we missed it at first but figured it out.

Refreshing weekend getaway in beautiful Hocking Hills during the Fall.

The cabin was extremely spacious and clean. It fit our 7 guests comfortably and we had so much fun. It was everything we ever wanted and more!

It was so much fun!

I liked that the place was clean and I loved the games that were provided such as corn hole, hookey, and the arcade game. The screened in porch was nice and the extra chiller for drinks downstairs.

It was an amazing place to stay that we cannot wait to book again!

Honestly, everything. It was a beautiful place inside and out! Amazing views! We enjoyed the privacy and comfortability the entire property provided! It was a great escape with nature, we even got to see two baby deer one morning! Again, honestly enjoyed every aspect of it!

This was a beautiful home and property. We loved the fire pit, hot tub, and large screened in porch. The large water filter pictured in the listing was not there but was not a big deal. The home was very difficult to find and the driveway was quite treacherous. The proximity was great to the town of Logan and all the best hikes in Hocking Hills. Overall, our stay was enjoyable and we would recommend Cardinal’s Nest!

We can’t wait to come again to this peaceful cabin!

We loved the Cardinal’s Nest! It was clean and quiet and we were greeted each day by deer and turkeys! It was everything we wanted. Our only complaint was it was so hard to find and we took multiple trips up wrong driveways before finally finding it. A sign by the road would have been helpful. Otherwise, it was the perfect place for our family to relax and enjoy the local trails and lake!

Good Experience

Pleasant stay. Close to trails. Little bit of a rough driveway. Hot tub lid is bad and has taken on water; heavy as can be and could hardly move it on and off. Cabin was fantastic and clean.

AMAZING property— will be back!

Had an incredible stay at the Cardinal's Nest. All details were just on-point. The kids loved it as well. Loved the full kitchen utensils, pots and pans... The lower lounge area, the shower products. Everything was just beautiful.Hit a snag during check-in. Recommend upon booking to immediately contact the host for their additional check-in application. I must've missed it, or didn't receive back when I booked. When I showed up, there is no data or WiFi. Needed to drive 5 winding miles to contact the office before checking-in. Think this could've been followed up on and handled anytime before arrival.Other than that small snag, everything was just perfect. Will be back. Thanks.

Adorable cabin close to all of the hiking spots around Hocking Hills. Updated and modern. Kids loved the loft with the PAC-MAN machine. Hot tub was great after a long day of hiking, however, the lid is in need of repair and was hard to take on and off. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash were provided which was a nice touch! Would recommend this cabin. Thanks!
