My family had a great time in the Merlot. We had deer in the backyard every morning. An owl watching us in the hot tub, and got to enjoy a wonderful getaway inside a warm, clean cabin.

We rented the cabin for the Thanksgiving weekend for our family celebration.
Location is good, although a little close to the road.
Cabin was clean, comfortable and decorated very nicely.
The pool table and video games in the basement is a nice addition.
We enjoyed the cabin very much.

We love the cabin and all the details of it! So close to Hocking Hills. We loved the porch and hot tub.
Only thing missing was a short pool stick. Hope to return!

Perfect place for a girls getaway! We enjoyed hiking at Old Mans Cave and Rock House and some R & R with a cozy fire in the fireplace. After our hikes we got in the hot tub, and got out feeling relaxed and pampered!
The 3 levels gave us all our own space when we wanted to chill out and have some alone time to unwind. We will definitely come back here - it was my favorite HH cabin and I have been coming for more than 20 years!

Loved the little cabin in the woods feeling. There was plenty of room and we didn’t feel crowded, and there were even dvds there so we had a movie night. It’s a great place to stay.

We had a great time at the Merlot! We were constantly seeing all kinds of critters around the property- deer, frogs, butterflies and all kinds of birds. Beautiful area and beautiful home! Very clean and hospitable.

Right off the highway for convenience, yet nestled into a pocket of woods with all the wildlife you could hope to see. Sitting in one of the many rocking chairs on the wrap around porch one morning we watched the deer graze while drinking our coffee. Very peaceful! Clean! Beds were very comfortable. Hot tub was a great way to end the night after all our exploring with the kids. Definitely will stay again as there is so much to do in the area.

We had lots to do not only on the property but close by. The only part was that the tv in the bedroom on the first floor went out. And according to my granddaughters the tv on the top floor wouldn’t work. Another thing is no wifi we had to go off the property to make and receive calls

We had a nice weekend at the Merlot Cabin with family. The house was as specified in the listing so we knew what to expect. The small issues we had were not knowing how to operate the fireplace since the remote's display didn't seem to be functioning properly, and there was a pretty strong sulpher smell from the water, even the filtered water from the fridge. Some of the outlets at the house were also not very helpful since they were covered with faceplates that blocked part of the plug and prevented some plugs going in. We enjoyed the backyard fire ring and my daughter was happy with the playground.

The main problem with this rental is the lack of being able to communicate with whomever is staying at the lodge, with lack of cell service, and no wifi. If my wife or one of her friends had an emergency at home, there is no way to reach them. They do have a landline, but you need some sort of code to be able to call long distance. Communication with the property manager was very pleasant and professional. They really enjoyed their stay, it was a girls weekend. I believe I would have to think hard about staying again, just because of the the lack of wifi, or cell service.

If we could give this property 10 stars we would. The home is absolutely beautiful! We felt like we were at home. It’s well taken care of, has great amenities, and very well stocked with the essentials. The location is perfect and easily accessible to all the caves and Hocking Hills State Park. The owners were excellent with communicating and very responsive to anything we needed. They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stayed. We definitely will be back!!

Great vacation house in Hocking Hills
We had a great time at the Merlot. The weather was a bit of a hindrance but with games, a pool table and a hot tub we still had a great time. We were able to do a bit of hiking as so many of the trails were close by that when there was a break in the rain, we could easily get to a location to squeeze a hike in. Beautiful house that is immaculate. Highly recommend!

The Merlot cabin was perfect for our family weekend. Beautifully furnished. Kitchen was well stocked. Game room in the basement was terrific. Fire pit was a nice addition. Wraparound deck was lovely. The online pictures don’t do it justice. Would definitely book again. Highly recommend.

Family trip
We enjoyed our time at this location. Very clean and well maintained. They had a fully equipped kitchen and even provided facial tissue, plenty of paper towels and lots of bath towels and hot tub towels. There were even condiments in the fridge. Large yard for outside games and the wrap around porch with the furniture was awesome. My only complaint was the noise from the highway near by.

Clean, spacious, peaceful - yet close enough to access several attractions
Loved our time at Merlot. The owner, Kate, is so easy to work with and was very accessible via text. For our time at Hocking Hills, we took our family of 6 (adults and teens) and there was plenty to do - while also having time to wind down. Teens were a little distressed at first that Wifi was non-existent, but it made them appreciate it more when we were at restaurants, etc. where it was more available. Lol. It also allowed them to be more present when together at the cabin. Cabin was very clean, and had all of the towels, bedding, kitchen gadgets, and grill for our stay. Only disappointment was that the heating element was broken in the oven (stovetop worked) and we had packed a cooler of food to prepare in the oven. However, we got creative and were able to cook our items by using the provided griddle and outdoor grill. The teens loved hanging out in the hot tub, playing pool, and even pulling out a board game. Both a positive and negative is that the cabin is by a very busy road. The trees are a buffer....negative is that it is a little loud, but positive is that the road is very well paved and provides easy access to all that we wanted to do. Hiked at Ash Cave, Old Man's Cave, ate ice cream at Treehouse Treats and Treasures and played 18 holes at the putt putt golf right beside it in Logan. Also went to Nelsonville one afternoon and checked out the Rocky Factory Outlet store and ate at Starbrick BBQ (very tasty!). Nelsonville itself was a little run down, however. Also kayaked/rented a pontoon boat at Lake Hope for a lazy afternoon. There was so much more we could have done, but we also enjoyed the peacefulness of nature and time together. If we ever take the same grouping of people again, we would definitely see if the Merlot was available to book.

The Merlot Cabin was perfect for our annual girls trip! The first thing we noticed was how clean the cabin was. The accommodations were a comfortable fit for our group of 6 with plenty of sleeping space, 2 full bathrooms, a large kitchen table for eating and playing games, a big porch with chairs and tables for enjoying the outdoors either in front or in back of the cabin (we did both), and a new, spacious, very clean hot tub. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking and it was nice to have all linens and towels provided. The location was very convenient and easy to find. The yard is surrounded by trees so it is private, however there is a main road just through the trees. During the day there is quite a bit of road noise, but after 5-6pm it dies down considerably. One thing to note is there is no wifi and none of us could get cellular service so we were completely "off the grid" while there, which none of us minded. Overall, it does have the feel of a private getaway, yet it is so close to many things to do in the Hocking Hills area so it is the best of both worlds! We would definitely book this property again.

We really enjoyed the property and lack of Wi-Fi was really nice. If you’re hiking in the area plan your trips ahead and know where you’re going. Cell service throughout the area is spotty.
