I would definitely stay here again.
Cabin was clean and well stocked. In a secluded, wooded location, but still close to town.

I'm happy to hear you were able to explore in town as well! Keep us in mind for your next trip to Hocking Hills!

Our family had a great time at your Rusty Lantern cabin this past weekend.
The cabin was very clean and accommodating without having to bring a lot of essentials from home. Absolutely loved the back deck area.

Beautiful cabin for a weekend getaway
We went for a family Birthday getaway for my sister in law. We loved the cabin and how close we were to the other trails and town if we needed anything. We will definitely be going back in the future and would 100% recommend to anyone who plans on the staying. The staff was polite and helpful if we needed anything before and during our stay.

owner Owner's reply: Thank you for staying in our Rusty Lantern Cabin, Emily! We are thrilled that you & your guest has a great stay, as well as celebrating a birthday with us here at 1st Choice Lodging.

This place is clean, tranquil, and can be romantic if you know how to be!
This place was quiet and peaceful. The game room kept us occupied for hours and the balcony was perfect for grilling while hanging with your family. The front door handle isn't locking properly but besides that, INCREDIBLY AMAZING PLACE.

owner Owner's reply: Hi Ryan, Thank you for staying with us at Rusty Lantern cabin and taking the time to leave us a review! We're excited to hear you were able to use the grill and enjoy the secluded peacefulness from the balcony. We also appreciate you letting us know about the door lock so we can fix that issue. We hope to have you back for another romantic getaway!

Beautiful! We had a blast
The house was beautiful however there were a few things I suggest be fixed. The beds are loud, upstairs bathroom light was flickering and the hot tub jets didn't work. Everything else was perfect! They provide all the kitchen utensils you need for a great weekend. There's a lot of hills and gravel getting to the cabin, so trucks/vans are recommended! Side note: the pictures advertised 5 beds but it's only 4 & one of the beds are not in an individual room but this wasn't an issue for us.

owner Owner's reply: Hi Daria, Thank you so much for staying with us at Rusty Lantern Cabin and taking the time to leave a review! Thank you for your feedback, we are always striving to give guests the best stay possible and appreciate your help in doing so. I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful cabin and we hope to host you for your next trip to Hocking Hills!

owner Owner's reply: Hi Jeff, thank you for staying with us at Rusty Lantern Cabin and taking the time to leave a review! I'm glad you were able to enjoy the seclusion of the cabin but still venture into town and to local attractions. Thank you for helping us keep the deck clean! We hope to host you for your next Hocking Hills getaway!

Fun little trip.
We loved the cabin feel and the trails to the pond was an added bonus. The cleaning could have been better, we found a bottle of juice and a couple bottle caps that didn't get thrown away and someone's sock was laying in the yard. The hot tub and the games/pool table could use some TLC. The jets weren't powerful at all even after closing half of them. There was only one pool stick that wasn't missing the tip so we had to keep passing the one back and forth. Overall it was fun and relaxing.

owner Owner's reply: Hi Jenessa, thank you for staying with us at Rusty Lantern Cabin and taking the time to leave a review. I'm so happy to hear you loved the cabin as much as we do and were able to enjoy the trails and pond! We appreciate your feedback on cleanliness, the game room, and the hot tub. We are always looking for ways to improve our guest stays and value your feedback greatly for helping us achieve that! We hope to host you again soon!

The cabin was great!! We will be returning!
The convenience of being close to restaurants and we had a great time hiking and exploring the hocking hills area!! Got to see some deer..a few owls..only thing we could complain about is being able to figure out the screaming at 3am..was it a owl or big foot?? Yet to be determined!

owner Owner's reply: Hi Dennis, thank you for staying with us at Rusty Lantern Cabin and taking the time to leave a review! I am so happy to hear you were able to explore Hocking Hills and spend some time with the local wildlife. I'm also glad you found the location to fit all your needs throughout your stay.

good
had a very nice stay as Cabin was clean and accessible for my handicapped son. Fire pit was great at night and hot tub was welcome on cool day. Only had a couple of concerns--1)you advertise that you have Dish network however our cabin did not have any ESPN channels available on it--disappointing to those who hike all morning and want to watch college football in the afternoon. Pay the extra cost and have happy renters 2)gas fireplace only worked for a couple of minutes and then went out

owner Owner's reply: Hi Michael, Thank you for staying with us at Rusty Lantern Cabin and taking the time to leave a review! We are so happy you were able to enjoy the amenities like the hot tub and fire pit. I'm sorry to hear you had some issues with the gas fireplace and TV, we value your feedback and experience to help make every stay at Rusty Lantern a 5 Star stay. We hope to host you for your next Hocking Hills getaway!

The Rusty Lantern was the Perfect Getaway
I wanted to surprise my wife with a great weekend getaway for her 50th birthday. I have never stayed at Hocking Hills before but I know plenty of people who have. I booked the Rusty Lantern and also surprised my wife by inviting a few of her best friends to stay for the weekend. Not only was she surprised, but she fell in love with the cabin and the layout of the cabin. It was perfect for the 5 of us and the covered wraparound porch with hot tub was perfect to enjoy while it was raining for most
