Recently, my husband and I stayed at one of these lovely cottages at Dewberry Cottages in Hocking…read moreHills, Ohio. We were driving back to NC, from a family reunion in Michigan, and had decided in advance to book a couple of relaxing nights at these cabins. The cottage we stayed in was cozy, clean and comfortable. It would have fit a couple of kids comfortably, as well. We really enjoyed being surrounded by nature, and the tranquility of the birds singing, deer sightings, all with the amenities of a wilderness resort, with jacuzzi on the deck, and a lake to fish and paddle-boat in. We had some beautiful, sunny days, so we did a lot of reading on our private deck, as well as on the shore of the lake, where there is a nice deck and lounge chairs. We took nice strolls through trails surrounding the neighborhood of cottages, and we paddle-boated on the lake, and fed the variety of fish, including some big catfish. The area is just a couple of miles down from Hocking Hills State Park, which we have visited on other excursions to the area. It's also not far from neighboring towns such as Lancaster, where we went out for lunch one day. The mattress of our bed was the most comfortable I have slept in to the point my husband asked the property manager to give us the info. on the mattresses they stock the cottages/cabins with. I also noticed that everything was top-notch, from the toilet brand, to the hardware installed in the faucets, the refrigerator, and other kitchen appliances, all top-of-the-line. Our cottage was Celtic-themed, and everything from the colors on the walls, to the knick-knacks used to decorate this cottage, brought me back to a Summer spent in Dublin, Ireland 17 years ago, during my college-years. Years ago, my family met up at Hocking Hills and we stayed at one of the larger cabins for a family reunion, and that cabin accommodated all 20 family members that showed up. Each room had it's own personal touch, with unique colors, bedding, area rugs and decor. Some of the cabins are decorated after an era, and the decor will really take you back. I highly recommend Dewberry Cottages, as it has always exceeded our expectations, and the staff is friendly and efficient. Hocking HIlls, Ohio is a beautiful place for a quick getaway, reunion, or much-needed retreat.

I never leave reviews but this place was so bad that I had to…read more 1. The cabin smelled absolutely disgusting. It almost smelled like like a cat had peed everywhere. 2. The hot was broke our entire stay. When we showed up around 7pm, there was a hose in the hot tub overflowing it with freezing cold water. Their negligence to turn the water off before we arrived cause our future issue. We had tried to call the owner but they were closed so we chalked it up to a loss & figured we'd just use it the next night on our last stay. We went hiking all day and came back under the assumption that the water would have heated up, only to find that it was not working at all. Again we tried to call but they were closed. The price point for this cabin is extremely high for a tiny box with no working hot tub. 3. When I was able to get ahold of the owner to ask for a partial refund due to the hot tub being broke - she hung up on me mid sentence and is now ignoring my calls. Extremely unprofessional. Save yourself the trouble and rent somewhere else.

I really enjoyed our stay at Burr Oak during 4th of July. You can tell they've been working hard to…read moreupgrade and renovate things. I believe the indoor pool is newly re done. I stayed in the lodge hotel rooms with our friend and 2 year old. I booked the king suite with a pull out couch and balcony. It was perfect, had a view of the lake and was right near the bar restaurant. It was very convenient having 2 bathrooms. The main bedrooms bathroom was newly re done, the other rooms seemed older but worked fine. There's dish cable tv and wifi. I was told there were charcoal grills for use and when I arrived they didn't seem to know anything about it which was odd. However we found grills for use next to the playground near the lodge. The story book trail is great for a nice hike with little ones. My husband enjoyed the disc golf course. I wish on the website they clarified that if you want to swim in the lake you have to drive to the swimming beach, but it wasn't too far. There's boating and hunting and fishing as well. Food at the restaurant is over priced but you pay for convenience since there's nothing close by to eat. There's fire pits with a nice view of the lake, and fire wood to purchase if you didn't bring your own. The rooms have a microwave and mini fridge. Overall we have a very nice time and I'd definitely come back.

This review is for the lodge restaurant. (not the lodge, the cabin, or the state park)…read more Yikes! Please avoid eating here. If you must, the way to go is order a pizza to go and pick it up when it is ready. The pros: beautiful view over the water, great at sun down. The cons: the food took way too long to come out. They forgot to bring the soup and salad we order before the meal, and by the time they went to get my soup, they had run out of that kind! See attached photos and video of the fish. Sad to say both my wife and I ordered that same meal. When it finally did come out the fish was so deeply fried that it was rock hard and there was not much remanence of any kind of fish meat left to be scavenged. Not even a forest dwelling mongrel would have gone for this disastrous preparation. I asked the waitress if it was supposed to be like this and she said "yes". (looking back that is a pretty funny answer) I told her that we were not going to be able to eat the meal. I mean even if we wanted to, it really wasn't food at this point. Is there anything she could do for us? After going to the back and having a discussion with her manger, she came back and said she could provide 30% off of each fish meal..... that is so close to doing nothing. And it wasn't just us. After we "ate" another couple stopped us and told us about the terrible experience they had with the meal. Burr Oak Lodge Restaurant, I suggest you just serve pizza.

The ground level loves bugs. Our room also had some type of odor. Water pressure or flow in the sink was quite light. The Good: There are things to do if you're no hiking at the moment. The live music was nice as is pool (until the children finish destroying it), ping pong, games, smores, and drinking for those lushes out there. Yes, there is a pool, but it is small and typically has children. This is a resort place. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Give'm a raise but don't raise the outrageous room rate. Would I come back? Yes, I would but would not take the ground level. There are a few other things I would change, but nothing horrible, though the Cafe can go away as I'll never pay for the overpriced items.

Recently spent a week here when visiting Hocking Hills State Park…read more This is the best campground I have ever experienced. The sites are large with beautiful views, and the entire campground is very clean and well kept. The shower rooms are wonderful: private and very clean. Definitely the best showers I have ever seen at a campground. The showers are like hotel showers! There are RV sites, tent sites, and also cabins available. The sites and amenities are much nicer here than the nearby state park campgrounds. It is an easy drive to the state park, to the marina, and also a beach just a mile down the road. It was very quiet at night. A peaceful camping experience. A Walmart is only a mile away, and a great Mexican restaurant is across the street. This is a perfect location and we will definitely stay here the next time we are visiting Hocking Hills. Highly recommended!

The reason for me giving 3 stars is that the photos posted by the owners are quite deceptive regarding the distance from a busy highway. As you can see from my photos, CO-19 is approximately 30 feet from the cabin. Without the TV on, you can hear constant traffic even with the door closed. Trying to sit on the porch to relax was impossible because the road is so loud. The cabin is basically as pictured on the website, very homey and comfortable, and the other 3 cabins are far enough from Luna's to allow for privacy. We would have definitely had a wonderful, romantic honeymoon weekend if it hadn't been for the constant noise.

The place came recommended so we booked a premium room. After our stay and upon arriving back home…read morethe next day we discovered we'd picked up bed bugs. When we called to inform them, they denied the allegation and furthermore implied that we must have brought them with us and would not do anything about it. The outcome was that we needed a special extermination treatment at a cost of $2000, a new box and matres set of $1500 and had to discard some apparel. along with all the grief, inconvenience and aggravation. We called again to see if their insurance would cover it and it went on def ears. A little google research indicated that Athens Ohio is infested with bed bugs - unbeknown to us at the time but quite sure the locals are aware of it, let along the hospitality inns. My advice is, STAY AWAY FROM THERE!

The cabins were very clean. Probably the cleanest of any stay I have had in any resort camping or resort stay. The showers and restrooms on site had the same spotless cleaning.

Sharing this on behalf of my sister because future glampers deserve the warning…read more Management says this was the first time anything like this has happened... but I'll just say the response had a little more "well, you ARE camping" energy than we expected. My sister discovered a mama rodent and her babies living directly underneath her bed. Not visiting. Not passing through. Fully moved in. Nursery established. No reservation required. One night was refunded, but the hours of sorting through belongings and doing laundry afterward were apparently part of the complimentary glamping package. Wildlife? Expected. A rodent maternity ward under the bed? Different category. Future glampers: before you unpack, CHECK UNDER THE BED. And maybe check whether your accommodations already have long-term tenants.

The Observatory cabin is beautiful from the outside grounds to the cabin interior. The layout is cozy and romantic and that all helped set the scene for my proposal to my now fiancé. The staff are friendly and prompt in their communications and are happy to help with anything during your stay. If we had any type of issue or question, it was promptly address and that made staying there even better. The pool and hot tub were great and well maintained. The fire pit area was also perfect and situated perfectly along the wood line. Looking up from the fire at the clear, starlit night sky was a great feeling. The telescope in the living room allows for stargazing and there are sheets to help you work it and tips on stargazing out the beautiful big picture window in the living room. This is a place we will not soon forget and we are already looking forward to our next stay. I highly recommend the Observatory, but I really just recommend Cherry Ridge retreats in general as I'm sure all the rest of their property is just as great as the Observatory was for us.

A grill (2 actually but we only used the one in the patio) a heated splash pool the kids loved. Four bedrooms plus a loft with a pull out couch. Perfect for a married couple and 3 kids.

We also used the outdoor fireplace to watch an nba playoff game while the kids were in the splash pool.
