Lodge on the Lake - Secluded, rustic lodge  

Description from the owner

# Originally built as a barn in the 1800's, this adventure lodge has been fully restored down to the finest detail, with the original barn beams and wooden interior remaining just as they were back in the frontier days. Lodge on the Lake sleeps 12 in beds and sits on 20 private acres with something to offer every sportsmen or recreationist. Enjoy the private 9 acre spring-fed lake stocked with bass, catfish, bluegill and trout. Kayaks are tethered to a dock that sits off a private beach with real sand. The Lodge is just a short walk from 200,000 acres of premier public hunting at Wayne National Forest. If you want more adventure, the Lodge is... just 20 minutes from an amazing public ATV trail system (75miles!) at Dorr Run. All this plus the majestic scenic attractions of Hocking Hills! If you want to be an outdoors man (or just feel like one), yet enjoy modern amenities, Lodge on the Lake is perfect for you.

  Excellent Labor Day weekend with family and friends!

  We rented the Lodge on the Lake for a 3 night long weekend Labor Day getaway. We loved the on-site lake! It provided hours upon hours of recreation everyday to our teenage son and his few friends we let him bring! They also played ping pong and basketball a lot! We enjoyed daily walks around the large property. I think it's well over 100 acres! It is very scenic, relaxing and peaceful! We only decided to leave one time during our whole stay! That was to go hike Cantwell Cliffs and kayaking in the Hocking River. Otherwise, there was so many fun family friendly things to do on-site, we stayed there the rest of the time!
  
  What an awesome place to spend quality time with family! The lodge had so much character and we really enjoyed looking at the "before" pictures! It's amazing how much thought went into building this retreat! We'll be back for sure!
  
  Thanks!

  Gathering for OU Graduation

  Best features of this property - dog friendly and private pond! Our large group of family, friends, and dogs had a great time swimming, boating, and fishing. The two charcoal grills on the deck made it easy to cook for such a large group. Also, the location is great for getting to Hocking Hills attractions as well as athens and OU. The kitchen is well stocked, but a little short on cutlery. The property manager was easy to get a hold of through email and by phone, but it will be virtually impossible to do that during your stay because the cabin gets almost no cell phone service and does not have internet access. I found the check out procedures to be somewhat vague (towels were supposed to go in "designated area,” but we could not find such an area, so we just left them in the laundry room hoping that would be ok). Also, while the lodge does sleep 14 (only 12 spots in beds though), there are only 2 bedrooms where only 4 people can sleep in privacy. The bedrooms are right off of the main living area, so even though they are private rooms, the occupants aren't sheltered from much of the noise. The remaining occupants all sleep in an open loft. Overall, we had a fantastic weekend, but we thought the price was a little too steep in light of the sleeping arrangements.
