Recently, my husband and I stayed at one of these lovely cottages at Dewberry Cottages in Hocking Hills, 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.
