My husband and I had a wonderful stay at kickback cabin. The cabin was very pretty and loved being able to take the dogs for a hike. I would definitely recommend this cabin.

The cabin itself is really nice and so open so there’s tons of room! It had everything we needed to cook dinner and breakfast! There’s also lots of windows and the natural light is very nice!! It sits on a really cool property with hiking right outside the door! We even saw a few deer! Check in was easy and convenient.

Great secluded location with trails surrounding the property for us to walk our dogs.

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!

My wife and I along with 2 dogs really enjoyed our stay at Kick Back. If you have dogs, this cabin is built for their comfort and yours. Small fenced in backyard, fenced in deck area are all good for putting your mind at ease with fur babies in the woods. The Youtube tv was great for evenings after the hot tub. I thought I would miss having a wood burning fireplace but the gas fireplace kept us good and toasty on the cold nights. We explored a brewery in Athens(Little Fish), Moonville Tunnel and Lake Hope is just down the road. Ash Cave is about a half hour drive away. KBC delivered on all of our needs during our stay. The hosts were VERY responsive and accommodating as well. We hope to make it back and try KBC during the summer months.

My wife and I chose this cabin for a weekend getaway and couldn’t have been happier with the cabin (gorgeous and spacious), nearby amenities without sacrificing privacy, and excellent communication from the property owners. Outstanding property and experience all around!

my husband and I stayed here with our two sons (both under 2 years old) so all the windows and openness of the cabin were appreciated from a parent’s perspective as it made it very easy to always have eyes on them
the kitchen had everything we needed despite being on the smaller side, and the gas fireplace kept us nice and warm in the middle of winter
wonderful cabin, thank you for having us!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. You're only 10 minutes from Nelsonville so getting groceries and supplies is a breeze. Lake Hope State Park is just a few minutes drive with lots to explore. Hosts were great and quick to respond to any questions we had.

My wife, son, and I couldn't be happier with our stay. When you don't hear traffic for minutes on end while standing outside, you know you're in the right place. The property trails were great to hike and the hot tub was certainly welcome with the cool temperatures. Although rainy, the cabin's fireplace kept us warm, and the movies kept us happy. I would refer this property to anyone wanting to get away. Hosts were accommodating and even decorated the place for the holidays. I can't say enough good things...if you stay here, you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I were looking for way to celebrate our anniversary with our boxer pup and this place looked amazing online. It definitely did not disappoint! All of natural light that came through the windows, the beauty of the forest outside and the much needed quiet was exactly what we needed. The cabin was beautifully crafted and very clean and the owners thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay even for our pup! This is the perfect escape for a couple or small family. Thank you so much to the owners for making this such a wonderful getaway! Definitely would like to stay again.

We had a wonderful time at the Kickback Cabin. It was clean, dog-friendly, and in a beautiful remote location. We walked the trails around the property and our pup thoroughly enjoyed the sniffs. The cabin was exactly what we were looking for and relaxing. Lots of places to visit nearby, we really enjoyed a few trips to Athens, Logan, and Nelsonville for dining. A great place to visit and unwind.

Really great place to stay! Super clean and close by to park attractions. We felt right at home.

The modern looking cabin was exactly like the picture both inside and outside. Felt larger than the square footage. Enough room for husband and me plus our mini daschund. Enourmous property with plenty of trails to explore. Very secluded and peaceful. The cabin is tucked away surrounded by trees and the sounds of nature.

It was great! This will definitely be a go to cabin. Our only recommendation would be to put blinds/curtains on the back and front door. Other than that definitely the perfect getaway spot.

Very peaceful setting and well marked walking trails on property. Dog friendly! Fenced in area and dog doors are a bonus. Thank you!

The cabin is so cute and comfortable. We really enjoyed the porch and being able to sit out with our dog and keep her near by. The Bed is comfy and the furniture was nicely done. Made a fire on the last night and was just nice and quiet out in the woods!!! Thanks for making the place so welcoming!!!!

Nice clean cabin the perfect distance from main roads and all of the points of interest. Quiet area and well mantained. Very little wireless bandwith if that is an issue for you.

The cabin was beautiful and even better than we expected. Very private and clean. It was a great place to go after a day of hiking Hocking Hills.
My wife already says she wants to stay there again. Thank you so much to the hosts.

Our stay here was amazing! The cabin was so nice and very pet friendly. Dog doors led to an enclosed deck and an enclosed small yard area. The cabin was very comfortable with everything you need to stay put and relax. The location is perfect, beautiful hiking trails and a nice pond for the dogs to swim. We enjoyed the quiet of being surrounded by the woods, but it wasn't too far to drive and enjoy the small towns nearby. We really enjoyed Athens, lots of great spots to eat and grab craft brews.
We have saved this spot as a favorite and plan to go back. We had a great time here, and we highly recommend the cabin and the hosts!

We stayed at Kickback Cabin for two nights to enjoy hiking at the state parks. The location of the cabin was absolutely perfect. The privacy was perfect and we had everything we needed in the cabin. It was wonderful to be able to easily let our dog out and let her stay with us up on the deck while we had breakfast or a cocktail while looking out at the beautiful woods.

We had a great time here! It was the perfect getaway in the woods. Beautiful hiking trials and fishing pond on site. Great location if you are looking to spend time at hocking hills. Owner was very friendly and great to work with. The cabin had everything we needed and was very dog friendly. Would stay here again.

The Kick Back Cabin & setting are beautiful, however the bathroom floor is spongy. You wonder if you will fall through! The toilet seat is loose and you feel as though you're falling off every time you sit down. The towels were small and at best, sufficient. The oven & stove were not clean, along with the fact small appliances do not all work.The king size bed was nice. Slept well. The curtain fell because rod was too flimsy. Porch swing & hot tub were relaxing. Very secluded & quiet. Could have been a great stay if the fore mentoined issues were corrected. I hope the owners do address these problems.

This cabin is very secluded and peaceful with very nice amenities. It’s also clean and spacious. The bed is very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting out on the back porch and listening to the birds, as well as the thunderstorms rolling through. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. We drove to Ash Cave and hiked to Cedar Falls. Downtown Nelsonville is about a 10 minute drive - all things Hocking Hills are between 20-30 minutes. We found it very convenient. We even had a box turtle visit us by the front door. :)

Always enjoy my yearly stay at Kickback. The cabin is always spotless and having trails right out the door is great. The fenced in area for dogs is a total perk!

Furniture on screened in porch dirty and different than listing. Large holes in screen made porch unusable. Fenced yard not maintained. Unit has window a/c with 86 decibils sound. Furniture on deck not the same as pictures. We left after one day because of these conditions.

Cute place. Very private in the woods. Had lots of little amenities provided like kitten supplies, towels and condiments. Only about 25 mins from Hocking Hills

This property was exactly as listed. We stayed for vacation and it was the perfect place to relax. The wifi is very slow, so it was a great week to unplug and ignore your phone. The hot tub was wonderful and the entire place was clean. All of the popular trails, restaurants and shops were within 30 minutes.
4.0
Nice getaway... if you need wifi at all not really the place. This was an unplugged getaway as the wifi is not sufficient.

Not my favorite VRBO.
5.0
The house was clean and in good condition, the instructions for check in and out were clear and easy to follow. I enjoyed the birds that enjoyed the bird feeder, and well as the serenity of the surrounding area. It isn’t as close to town as I would’ve liked but I think I appreciated the fact that it was not so close more than the “inconvenience” of having a bit of a drive to go places.
My only 2 complaints are minor: the layout of the bathroom is awkward and the couch isn’t overly comfortable. But, with the views and access to various locations and sights, it’s easy to get past that.
Fantastic stay, wish I could have stayed longer, and would love to come back and bring along a friend next time!

Everything was as advertised. Really enjoyed the quick getaway.
