Good Earth Cabins

As others have stated what they advertise online is NOT what you get. They will not give you directions or the address of the cabin until 2 days before your stay. It would be nice to know where in the area the cabin is. We stayed at the Buckstone. Was this place ok yes but absolutely not for the price. They make you drive 25 min. out of the way to check in and then back track down the very curvy roads to the cabin. If you have people who get car sick this is just awful. They do not actually describe the cabin or the location. We chose this cabin because my g/​f is on crutches and we needed a first floor bedroom and bathroom. What they failed to mention is there are 2 large steps up to the shower. Also there is a bedroom on the 3 floor with no a/​c. So if you plan to stay up there beware. It was extremely hot. The bathtub was dirty when we arrived. Our sheets had stains on them and were pilled. There are no pans to cook in the oven. Only a few pots for the stove. While they do mention they only provide the towels and toilet paper necessary it was ridiculous. 1 roll per bathroom. Because most people want to travel with toilet paper. Also we were given 2 towels but 1 washcloth and 1 hand towl. Wasn’t to excited about having to share a wash rag. The hot tub control panel is all busted up and you can either have the jets on by your back or your legs but not both on at the same time. And you have to hold down the button for a while before the jets start anyways.
The neighbor stopped by to remind us not to block their drive way. which we were not doing. Cabin is right off of the road and there is a lot of traffic noise. It’s a drive to most of the attractions in the area which of course they do not let you know until you are there. I will not stay here again. Very disappointed with the cleanses and lack of items that you need in the cabin.

We stayed at the Kountry Klassic cabin and it was a great experience. We knew it was right off the main road from the description, but were pleased to find out that there was a privacy shield that helped with the noise, as well as with the dogs to keep them in the yard. The cabin itself was cute… good layout for 3 sets of friends coming in town. Very comfy furniture which turned out great since it rained all night Saturday. There was Foosball and pool in the basement which was an unexpected surprise. The hottub was clean and very comfortable.
The only reason I rated 4 vs 5 was the kitchen. When we got there we couldn’t find plates. Thinking someone who stayed there previously may have taken or damaged them we wrote it off. After eating I went to load the dishwasher only to find it packed full. Unfortunately everything was soaked from going through a wash but covered in a slimey greasy substance. I would have expected the house cleaning crew to take care of that and make sure that everything was in fact clean.

We visit Hocking Hills every year, at least once a year, for the past 10 years or so. We like to try new cabins each time. This was the first time that we were ever disappointed in our cabin. It is also the first time that we rented from a rental company, rather than a privately owned cabin.
For starters, the website description of the cabin was a little less than forthcoming. We stayed in the Wyandotte which is listed as having two bedrooms, with an additional bedroom upstairs. Much to our surprise, when we arrived, there is one bedroom on the main floor, and two in the basement. The basement bedrooms are right next to the room containing the mechanicals for the cabin, so it is nice and noisy down there, and a little damp. The beds are covered with some sort of plastic or rubber covering, so every movement makes a loud noise. The hot tub was right outside, maybe 20 feet from the bedrooms, and some sort or pump never stopped running, making more noise. I felt a little bit like I was in the movie My Cousin Vinny. The kitchen was dirty and they didn’t even bother to provide dish soap or hand soap, so I could do the job that their cleaning people failed at. There was actually a dish tub under the sink with disgusting smelling brown water in it. We ate all of our meals in restaurants while we were there. By the way, Hocking Hills Diner and Hocking Hills Lodge both have AWESOME food, Steve’s Steakhouse, not so much, but I digress. This cabin is located along the driveway from hell. I have a small SUV, and anything just a smidge bigger than that would never have been able to make it. Full sized pick up truck or larger 4 door sedan, don’t even bother. The driveway is only just barely wide enough for one medium sized vehicle, and it feeds into 3 cabins. So what happens when two cars are going in opposite directions, and they meet on the long, long drive? Someone has to drive backwards along the drive until they get to an area where passing is possible. It is probably at least ¼ mile long, and one side of the driveway is a fairly sharp drop down a cliff. It would have been nice if the person who took my reservation had mentioned that a larger vehicle would not be able to make it up to the cabin. In the future, I will NEVER rent from a company managed cabin again, since I really have nothing good to say about the place.

Our first trip to Hocking Hills and we choose to stay with Good Earth Cabins at the Lakefront Oasis. What a perfect choice! The cabin was spotless and well equipped with the necessities. We took our son and 2 of his friends. They had a good time fishing off the private pier and relaxing in the Jacuzzi! We will go back to this lovely cabin! Thank you for the hospitality Fonda! You will be highly recommended!

I have not stayed at many cabins in the Hocking Hills area, and I hope this isn’t a representation of what is all out there. I had booking issues, contact issues, and am displeased with the cabin itself. Specifics will be below, but it may get lengthy.
First, when I booked my stay online, I was told that I would have to contact them to approve my dogs coming with me. No big deal, I call — the person in spoke with in the morning was unable to help me and said that I will receive a call within a few hours from someone who can. They never called. Also, I was instructed in an email to contact them for directions to the cabin. They weren’t given until I contacted them again. The thing that really irked me about it was that when I called, they stated they sent them out already. I received the email later that day, with a sent timestamp from during our conversation. That raises integrity issues. In that same conversation, I was told that while I selected two dogs to stay with me, the system didn’t update correctly and I will have to pay for my second dog (possibly again… they didn’t give me an itemized receipt).
Upon arrival to the cabin (Acorn Bungalow), I wanted a nice, hot relaxing shower. When I stepped in, the floor felt unsturdy, almost squishy. I am not a big man, only 135lbs at 5’6″. Then when I went to adjust the showerhead, I realized it was glued on after breaking. It couldn’t be adjusted. So I had to crouch to get under the showerhead. Later I head into the kitchen to make toast and find our last occupants’ food reside still on the toaster. (It looked like melted poptart sprinkles.)
Next, I’m straightening up the place and find a pair of pants in a field of dust under the bed. How long have they been there? I’m unsure; it sure looked like it’s been a few months since they cleaned under there. Again, integrity issues arise.
Last, beware of their advertising. It was stated that the bungalow was in a private wooded setting. At the end of the short drive was a tavern that regularly hosted a full parking lot; next to the bungalow was parking for another cabin (literally a child’s stone throw from the deck); and the neighbors were so close that I could hear their domestic disputes. The only trees on the property were those used to separate out homes — everything else was gravel.
