The hot tub was awesome. The cabin was ok. The thermostat was locked so the temp in the cabin stayed between 64-68 degrees with below zero temps outside. Also, there are gaps in the wood walls in the downstairs bedroom so that room was way colder than the 64 degrees showing on the thermostat. The dishes were scant and I was glad we had planned on going out to eat for our stay. There would not have been enough pots/pans, etc if we had wanted to cook. The cabin was clean but disappointing overall. Compared to other rentals we've stayed in, over 25 years in various places in the eastern U.S., this place was below average. Unfortunately, you missed the mark.
Overall it was nice. Being a larger kitchen, I wish it was stocked better with your most common utensils and cookware. The water in the hot tub was way too hot. The upstairs loft mattress could use an upgrade. However it was clean.
No ice maker or dishwasher in 2025:( AC quit on Friday night and began working again later on Saturday. Windows do not lock. Very few dishes although plenty of empty cabinets. Upstairs sink stopper does not open. Great indoor wood fireplace, though
Just wish we could have stayed longer but we were limited in time. We did have to go buy batteries for the remotes but otherwise everything we needed was there or we brought. We're hoping to be able to return to the same cabin for a longer stay sometime in the near future.
Was a great experience! The checking and checkout was absolutely the easiest ever, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the information booklet on the table was so useful!
Property was nice; however, the power was out for the majority of the second day of our stay, leaving us in the dark without any AC. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short and leave a night early
This property is secluded and beautiful! The hot tub was clean and so relaxing. The cabin was quaint, clean, and comforting. We would come back a million times!
We had a great time staying at the Pioneer Chalet and exploring Hocking Hills for the first time! The chalet was clean and exactly as listed, very easy check in and check out experiences. We loved the hot tub! It's in a great location, easily drivable to local, popular hiking sites and restaurants, but quiet and private, as well.
Beautiful cabin in a secluded and serene wooded area of Hocking Hills.Had a warm and cozy feel, beautifully crafted and well maintained. Just bring some food, water and a toothbrush and get ready to explore the wonderful great outdoors!Location is very close to several State Park points of interests.Our stay was only for a weekend, but definitely made memories that will last a lifetime and will definitely return for a longer stay!
The Pioneer was very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed having television for rainy evenings and a hot tub to soothe muscles after hiking all day. Would definitely stay again!
The Pioneer cabin is a great, pet-friendly cabin in the heart of the Hocking Hills. This is a great cabin and is pet-friendly, which is a huge plus! We spent a weekend here, hiking , eating, and enjoying the Hocking Hills area.
Location was excellent for hiking. We were coming in later than expected, and we were pleasantly surprised that the patio lights were on and the hot tub was all warmed up for us. Check in and check out were a breeze.
The Pioneer through Chalet at Hocking Hills provides a comfortable, clean cabin that is close to hiking trails and Grandma Faye's grocery store.This cabin's hot tub was the cleanest that I've experienced in the last 15 years.The fees seem excessive but they are clearly stated before booking.Overall, if you like bringing pets with you on vacation I would recommend the Pioneer.
