Manager told us to take our time, he'd hold the food until we had enough to eat. We filled a couple plates to eat "family style" and even got a couple drinks. Tired and with full bellies we dozed off to sleep to wake up to a delicious breakfast as usual and got on our way to the next Drury in St Louis. We're Drury hopping all the way to Denver.

LOBBY, ELEVATOR, CORRIDORS Impeccably clean, grand & inviting. The cushy seating, aromatic entryway, & spotless decor are standout. I felt at ease from the moment I entered the building & throughout the transitions-- excellent use of negative space & color psychology. ROOM https://youtu.be/jTpV8jVZhg0 Spacious & well-appointed. Visibly high, consistent, cleaning standards from hall to room. The feature set was incredibly dense too: strong lighting, comfortably spacious for 2, enjoyable view, dedicated workstation area, ample seating, & sufficient storage options. I wish the windows were functional, but no complaints otherwise. BED Comfy~ The double Queen configuration proved to be very restful. Linens & pillow build didn't impress texture-wise, but they did the job & were clean. BATH Strong aesthetic; weaker on function. Medium size bathroom space with a stylish tile & textured wallpaper pairing. Despite how much I liked the design, functionally it wasn't my favorite: painful low toilet, small towels, broken fixtures, no shower liner, & the bath products (Nourish Spa) have a terrible lather. TV & ENTERTAINMENT Bad... Tiny SD TV, serving spotty cable, operated by a universal remote with frustrating ergonomics. Luckily there is a Pool on-site. WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION Verizon reception was notable low. WiFi was also inconsistent; Timeouts & buffer bloat started immediately after connecting. QoS is desperately in need of tuning as the network gets congested during periods of high use. Not the greatest experience for work but YMMV --Performance-- Video streaming - good Online gaming - great Video chatting - great --Nerd Stats-- 13-69 Mbps download 27-49 Mbps upload 0% packet loss 13 ms latency 7 ms jitter FOOD & DRINK DoorDash friendly. A VERY FULL breakfast with everything your heart could desire, offered from 7-10 & 6-930. They also host a Happy hour & dinner buffet! This was one of the best food service offerings I've witnessed in a long time. Rooms are equipped with mini microwave, small mini fridge, & instant coffee maker. NOISE Quiet & peaceful. LOCATION Safe + Good proximity to highway, stores, etc VERDICT I really enjoyed this stay being my first time with this brand. TVs could use a refresh, but the price point, amenities, & vibe were perfect. I'd stay here again once the WiFi is improved but would still highly recommend it to anyone else if that's not a deal-breaker for you. More people should definitely try this location. 4.5/5

For those who want the short version: This place is an awesome place to stay for a vacation get…read moreaway for a large group! Here's the detailed version: The house is located in Hocking Hills and is the perfect place for a large group of people! There are 3 floors with 8 bedrooms and 11 beds. The top floor is a loft that has 2 beds. There are 4 bedrooms on the main floor- 3 that have 1 bed, and 1 room that has full sized bunk beds. On the bottom floor, there are 3 bedrooms- 2 rooms that have 1 bed and 1 room that has bunk beds. Note: all the beds are queen/full sized beds even the bunk beds so the house could potentially sleep 22 people. The house is a beautiful lodge with hardwood floors (don't forget to take slippers!). There are 2 kitchens which was a bonus when cooking for a large group! There are also 2 dining room tables (one on the main floor, one downstairs) and 2 living room spaces. The house has 4 bathrooms (2 on each floor). Note: If you go there with a lot of people, try to be one of the first to take a shower because the hot water DOES run out if everyone is taking consecutive showers. When you go, towels (including beach towels) and linens/blankets are provided. They also provide some toilet paper and soap (dish soap, shampoo, etc) which was enough for a 2 day stay but if you're staying for the whole week, you may need to bring more. In the kitchen, you can find plates, silverware, some pots and pans, cups. They have some cooking utensils like spatulas, ladles, can opener, etc. They have a coffee maker and filters but if you like fresh coffee beans, you have to bring your own coffee grinder. There are 2 TVs there which both have DVD players and direct TV but they don't have HDMI connections so you can't hook up an Xbox. There's no wi-fi and you probably won't be able to get good cell phone service while there. But they do have corn hole, scrabble, taboo and a couple decks of cards for game night! It was actually great to get away from technology i.e. internet, etc and enjoy time with the family. In order to get there, you have to drive on some country roads- some that look like they are only one lane so I recommend trying to get there before dark just because it's so hard to see when it's night time. Also on the website, they recommend 4 wheel drive which I totally agree with! You have to drive up this steep gravel/stone driveway. One of our cars was a sedan and had trouble getting up the entire way. If you don't have 4WD, you can still make it up (although if it may be a problem if it's snowing) but try driving in reverse. Our larger cars (mini SUVs/Vans that didn't have 4WD) had problems going up driving forward, but were able to make it up in reverse. Again, it's a lot easier driving up in reverse during the day than at night. The contact person is Theresa. She was quick to respond to questions we had about the place via email. I didn't really have much contact with her since someone else dealt with the reservation but she seemed nice when I met her when we checked out of the lodge.

My female relatives (aunts, cousins, and grandmother) and I came to Hocking Hills to reunite after an incredibly long time without seeing or hugging each other. It was a little strange when the owner of the property mentioned THREE different times in one message not to follow GPS, but instead, use her directions. The oddities continued as she insisted to be there when we arrived to greet us since none of us had experienced this with a VRBO rental prior to this getaway. But the neuroses of the ownership finally smacked us straight in the face when we realized that greeting was simply to walk us through the rules. Many, many rules. Complete with a binder left for your reading pleasure and a condescending lecture from the owner to a group of adult women. There were 13 of us ranging in age from 29 to 88, but it really didn't matter who we were. Jesus Christ could have walked in with his 12 disciples and she would have asked him to make sure he showered before entering the hot tub. Her tone was both rude and insulting. Things we were warned of during her tirade, lest we be charged additional fees: Do not eat, drink, or sleep on the sofas. If you are going to sleep on the pillows, remove the pillow shams and use the pillowcases in the closets. Do not leave the coffee maker plugged in when not in use. Do not move the furniture. Do not get in the hot tub without showering. Do not leave any loose trash without bagging it. This includes boxes that are too big for bags. After leaving the property, we were informed that we left loose trash, which is an outright fabrication, clearly designed to offer a "reason" for additional charges. We were meticulously cleaning the entire cabin all morning to be sure to reach her satisfaction and even cut down all boxes so that they would fit into trash bags and not be considered "loose". One of the comments by the owner was that she was forced to empty the trash can and rebag it because there was loose trash and it was unsanitary. Speaking of unsanitary, you are asked not to strip the beds when leaving the property so they can "inventory" (AKA look for things to forfeit your security deposit) the linens. We did have our suspicions on the motive of the owner when one of my aunts pulled her blankets back on the first night and found a hair on the sheets. We were also told to wash the dishes used and then put them away. I am not a health inspector, but every place I've ever rented has either asked to load and run the dishwasher but leave the dishes in there or just load it and not run it. I suspect this is so that the renters do not then touch the clean dishes to put them away, but what would an unsanitary person like myself know about health codes? Interested in keeping your loved ones posted while haphazardly moving furniture and sleeping on sofas in a cabin in the woods? No problem! There is a landline that allows you to hear a couple of syllables at a time, which is enough to ensure that your spouse is ta.....car......tom..... And if that is not enough contact, the owner does offer the use of her personal Wifi for a small fee of $5/day in cash only. No exact change? No problem there either! Just give her the next bill you've got higher than the total and she'll call it even! It was blatantly clear with each warning of impending charges for things like spotty wifi and sleeping on pillow shams that the goal here was to come up with some failure to abide so that we could lose our security deposit and wring out any spare change we had for things like communicating with important people in our lives. But wait...there's more! The wifi doesn't work half the time and the TV in the main living space doesn't work either, which I guess is okay since who wants to watch television without the snacks and beverages that are strictly forbidden on the living room furniture. Anyway, the cabin was beautiful and there were lots of towels and beds and bathrooms and two kitchens. Those things were great. We had an amazing time because we are an amazing group of women, but it was a shame that every single one of us walked away saying, "this weekend was perfect if it hadn't been for that horrible owner." Perhaps if someone is that neurotic and paranoid, they might seek a different line of work than allowing strangers to use their property to enjoy themselves. If you want a place that limits your freedoms and puts rules on your fun, this is the cabin for you. Otherwise, run to the closest Red Roof Inn, because I bet the people there are at least welcoming.
