My (ex) boyfriend and I recently stayed at the Song Bird cabin, which is one of 2 rentals offered by Four Seasons Cabin Rentals near Hocking Hills State Park area. Four Seasons is a few minutes outside the town of Logan and maybe 20 minutes from the state park. The cabins are maybe a 10 minute drive from Kroger or 5 minutes from gas stations, downtown Logan, etc. The cabins were pretty easy to find. The 2 cabins are near each other, but still private.
The Song Bird has 2 bedrooms with queen size beds, one bathroom, a covered hot tub, deck with charcoal grill and small patio table with 4 chairs, a wood burning fireplace (glorious!), full size fridge, small 4 burner gas stove, and small microwave. Song Bird is furthest back and doesn't offer much of a parking spot. there's a relatively steep hill on one side where you park and a little drop off on the other so not a lot of room to negotiate on the sides of the vehicle. We found it easiest to back into the spot so we didn't have to back down the long driveway which was hard to see because of fallen leaves, etc. The other cabin has a large parking area, which I coveted.
The wooded area around the cabins is really pretty, especially during fall when we visited.
The rentals are both pet friendly (although, thankfully our cabin did not smell like a dog). The grounds offer a small, picturesque pond with a paddle boat and gazebo, as well as hiking trails and fire pits. There is an orchard as well.
There was no cell phone service here for us - we both had Verizon. No WiFi. No phone in the cabin that I saw.
Song Bird's bathroom had 4 large towels, washcloths, hand towels and also had shampoo, conditioner and body wash there to use. Decent but small bathroom. The showerhead was a hot mess with water spraying in all the wrong directions. The bathroom has an overhead fan in case you ate chili cheese fries for lunch and don't want to kill the romance in the small cabin.
The bedrooms had plenty of pillows. I could have used some extra, heavier blankets but that's because I like to sleep with blankets that weigh about the same as Andre the Giant. Maybe they were stashed somewhere and I didn't see them.
The living room was comfortable. Leather couch near the fireplace. We purchased a crate of wood for $5 from Four Seasons and LOVED the wood burning fireplace. Pick up a newspaper or something so you have something to help start the fire. We used one of the Hocking Hills magazines as we had nothing else to use. We brought DVDs (Boardwalk Empire) and made good use of the DVD player there, but they do have satellite tv which was playing classical music when we arrived.
There were cups, glasses, wine openers, silverware, plates, etc.in the kitchen. A coffee maker and a decent amount of coffee and powdered creamer left there from other renters. A hot plate, too, I think? A toaster. The only thing in the fridge was ketchup. Some pots and pans and bowls. You''ll be washing whatever you dirty so if you're not a fan of washing dishes bring some paper plates, plastic utensils and drink out of the wine bottle. During our visit the stove didn't work and there was no discount or anything offered. I chose this place partly because it had a stove (many cabins only have a microwave and mini fridge) so we could make breakfasts, etc. so I was bummed we couldn't cook at all. We found out at the last minute so couldn't find another cabin.
The driveway to the rental office and to the cabins is a little hilly and bumpy. I kept thinking you'd need 4WD/AWD if you rented on a snowy day in the winter. It would be really cozy and beautiful there in the winter.
I looked at a LOT of cabins before choosing Four Seasons and found Four Seasons to be more reasonably priced. The cabin was clean and decently decorated and cozy.
Despite the fact that my relationship met its demise in Hocking Hills, I had a nice time at the cabin and would recommend it. read more
