Lazy Lane Cabins, Ltd.

GREAT PLACES TO STAY FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO ESCAPE THE CITY FOR A FEW DAYS!!!
Myself and those who were with me at the cabins we visited (Vintage Valley and Heart & Soul) have created some lasting memories, special and memorable moments, and just a heart warming time of reflection and relaxation.
Vintage Valley is a simple cabin. Two bedrooms upstairs (A queen sized bed in one room, two twin beds in the other room). Downstairs is a good sized a kitchen that 4 people can sit and eat adequately (One side of the table is close to the stove and wall but the table can be moved/​adjusted. Also, the ONLY bathroom is off of the kitchen so that can be a little unsettling for some but we didn’t mind. The shower head does need to be adjusted at times during use as well. The living room is where we sat to unwind when we were not outside. The couch cushions do feel worn/​used (We sunk right into the couch on some points) but a thick blanket over the couch fixed that and it was relaxing and comfortable. The MAIN issue on the first floor though IS the floor. There were parts of the floor that felt uneven. Some were so uneven that it actually felt like the whole house was leaning, especially in the living room. Overall, Vintage Valley is a rustic cabin that truly encompasses cabin living because when the sun goes down around Vintage Valley the ONLY lights are the ones in the house! It gave us a wonderful feeling of getting away from the city. For the price too, it was reasonable, flaws and all.
Heart and Soul is different yet literally right across the street from Vintage Valley. This can be an issue for some but I can tell you that if you stay at one cabin and there is another group/​guests staying across the street you do still have that private and secluded feeling especially at Heart and Soul. By the time you walk to the back yard you are surrounded by trees making it difficult for passerby’s to see you at the fire pit.
Heart and Soul has three LARGE bedrooms each with their own shower and toilet. It is more updated than Vintage Valley but still has a rustic cabin feel to it that we loved. My roommate and I stayed on the first floor as there were TWO Queen sized beds on the first floor bedroom. Right off the bedroom was the deck and grill! Kitchen was a nice size that provided ample space for working on food. We eat a LOT of vegetables so cutting/​preparing them for the grill was easy to do in the kitchen then carry it to the grill.
Overall, two GREAT places to stay at when you NEED to escape the city or just need some time away; Lazy Lane cabins definitely has a little bit of everything for anyone who truly enjoy the outdoors whether it’s grilling and sitting by a bonfire or just relaxing in a cozy cabin (that’s just the frosting on the whole cake of what there is to do in Hocking Hills), then check out one of the MANY cabins Lazy Lane has available.

Dont do it! Horrible customer service. Seriously, ridiculous. My partner bought a night there last weekend as a surprise to welcome me to an area she picked to showcase her home state. Got to the cabin, the power was out. We paid for the buckeye cabin which had a jacuzzi… that cant be utilized with no electricity. heat was also out and electricity was gone. Obviously, no one can be expected to stay in a remote cabin all night with no heat, light, or electricity right? Front desk woman refuses to refund even though we immediately returned the keys due to the unlivable conditions. We were standing in the cabin for maybe ten minutes before we escaped.
Also, for LGBT people and people who aren’t bigots. beware spending your hard earned money here. This is the type of place that digs subtle discrimination based on their actions. Check this out — we happened to accidentaly drive up to someone else’s cabin while locating ours. On the door, there was a sign that said «Welcome Tyler and Jennifer». When we arrived at our cabin, the sign said welcome… but had my partner’s first name and my last name. Lol some neanderthal couldnt bear to write both of our first names but happy to take our gay money. At least deny the reservation; I could’ve respected that more than being a bigot AND a crook. Pretty clear discriminatory insult. My partner was mortified.
Keep the money Lazy Lane, I guarantee I make 4x what you make in a year so no biggie. But im happy to chip in if you’d like to legally change your name to «Lazy Ignorant Money Trap». My partner however is from Ohio and didnt deserve to be treated like that by anyone, much less in her own home state.

We have stayed with lazy lane 3 times. This visit we booked the Sugar Ridge cabin and it is our favorite! It is beautiful here! The walk down (or up) to this particular cabin from the parking spot is not for the weak of knees or heart but it is a gorgeous spot. Hot tub and fireplace are wonderful! The Lazy lane staff has always been friendly and helpful and we love staying in their cabins!

Upon arrival staff was friendly, but we were disappointed in the cabin we stayed at (Trail Ridge cabin). The first thing we noticed when we opened the door was what appeared to be an odor of Marijuana. The next thing we noticed were burn holes on the couch which was a major turn off. It also appeared that the couch hadn’t been cleaned in years. The rest of the cabin seemed to be clean, although much of the furniture was old and outdated. The bathroom shower facet was also all rusted and terrible looking. There was no blanket on the bed and it was cold outside, just a sheet and bedspread. Only one set of pillows, which made it uncomfortable to sleep. We got in the hot tub and couldn’t stay in it because it smelled like mold. We had picked this cabin because I stayed there a couple years ago it it was a nice cabin, but it just went downhill and we didn’t have that welcoming clean feel. I think we got spoiled staying at nicer and cleaner cabins at other places, we probably wont return to lazy lanes again.

My husband and I stayed at the Hidden Cave Cabin, which is one of Lazy Lane’s Cabins, for our honeymoon, and to say that it was a disappointment, would be the biggest understatement ever!!! For starters, upon arriving to the office to get directions to the cabin, the woman rushed through the instructions without even taking a second to breathe, then walked away. We found the cabin, and went inside and it was nothing like what the pictures showed… there was a massive «speed bump» in the floor leading from the living room to the kitchen, and yes, I instantly tripped over it and fell into the wall. Awesome. The kitchen was less than charming. the dishes and cookware were scarce, and not clean. Now, let’s talk about the upstairs. the bathroom door upstairs didn’t even latch shut, so when you close it, it instantly opens right up… who needs privacy while going to the restroom, right? There were A TON of dead flies scattered all over the floor. yes, I realize that we are in nature and there are bugs, but seriously?! The grout lines in the shower, were COVERED in black mold. I literally did not take a shower the weekend I was there because it was so disgusting. The bed was painful. I felt like I was laying on a brick! There were mouse traps all over the cabin. The property should be the selling point, right? Wrong. There were random piles of bricks everywhere. A random ladder laying in the yard. The trails that lead to the pond and cave were fine, except there is no form of landscaping done, so the weeds surrounding the pond were so tall that you could hardly even see the pond, and trying to get to the cave… that was a joke in itself! We tried to sit out on the porch swing to enjoy the morning air, but got attacked by swarms of bees and had to go inside. We were so excited to leave to go home and get out of there that we left early! Such a disappointing start to our honeymoon! The only thing that we enjoyed was the hot tub. We would definitely not recommend this place…

My family and I wanted to get away from our hectic lives in Akron, Ohio. This was the perfect place for that. We loved the 40 or so acres of private woods we got and the wonderful hot tub available to us. All of the cookware was provided and we got to pet a horse and the trails of Hocking hills were just a short drive down the road.

I should’ve stayed in a hotel, where I wouldn’t have been shaken down with ludicrous charges to my credit card. Small claims court is a headache, so avoid this company at all costs. I lost faith in small-​town businesses when lazy lane shafted me with fraudulent charges. There are many other companies with cabins in the area, so do yourself a favor and shop around.

Just got home from out trip to Hocking Hills… we stayed at the Vintage Valley cabin… it was rustic and homey! It was clean, bug and mouse free and had all the amenities we needed for our 3 day trip. They give you starter tp, dish soap and paper towels… we used no more than that. The office to check in at was very clean, organized and friendly staff The fire ring, grill and front porch were our main spots to relax and all maintained very well! I would recommend highly to stay with Lazy Lanes and we def would again!

We recently stayed at Shady Hollow Cabin #1. My husband and I were looking forward to a 2 night get away kid free. I tried to find a reasonably priced cabin that was cozy and quiet so we could relax while we were away.
When we checked in their list of things that could possibly go wrong (power outage, well pump stop working, satellite tv stop working, bugs and mice from time to time) they said it was just part of being in the woods and you just have to deal basically. You would not get a refund. Fine. I signed on the dotted line.
We pull up to our cabin. It is not a cabin it is a small brown metal outbuilding with more paint peeled off then on the door and window frames. This is not what I saw in the picture. I did love the little creek that you could hear bubbling and the hot tub was very nice.
And then we went inside.
The musty smell took our breath away and we had to step back outside. It was horrible. We did not bother to complain to management after signing their agreement that basically said you would get no refund for any reason. What could they do to fix it? They would just tell us to open the windows. It faded some or else we got used to it, but any time we entered the cabin after being outside it was difficult to adjust. You can’t tell me that the housekeepers didn’t notice when they were there last-​it was horrible.
Decorations were fine. Not modern, but a comfy feel and you could tell someone put thought into it. It seemed very clean which I appreciated. But that musty smell… YUCK.
The fridge was starting to rust on the outside which was not real appealing, but opening it up it was spotless. Again, I appreciate that. However-​the tip envelope on the microwave for the housekeepers-​are you kidding me? You don’t give me fresh towels each day, the smell in there is awful, I wash my own dishes, the dead mouse on the kitchen floor we disposed of the next morning-​what am I tipping for?
Anyway, I felt badly that we weren’t thrilled with my choice of cabin and although their other cabins may be nicer, we would not stay here again or rent with this company. The pictures I looked at online were quite obviously from the day they moved the furniture in. It was faded and had bleach spots on the couch.
We are landlords and we take pride in the look of the home we rent to others and in turn they have taken good care of it. I realize it is different when the turnover is much faster, but they definitely need to update the couch and chair, rug-I’ve stayed at dive hotels with nicer furniture. It just took away from some of the charm we were hoping to feel. We had fun outside of the cabin so the rest of the trip was good. It’s just not worth risking the money in my opinion.

We recently stayed in one of Lazy Lane’s cabins while on a trip to Hocking Hills. To give credit where credit is due, the cabin itself was reasonably nice (although there are probably higher quality cabins to be had in the area), the yard was maintained beautifully, and the hot tub was wonderful. We brought our dog and were happy to find a place that would allow us to do this (albeit for an additional charge). However, two days after arriving home the cabin’s management informed me through e-​mail that my credit card had been charged almost $ 300 to repair damage caused by my dog. While unfortunately I didn’t notice this damage either when checking in or out, it seems unlikely to have been caused by our dog since she was either in her crate or with us the entire time. I called to explain this and all the woman I spoke to said was «the charges stand, speak to our management.» As it’s not worth my time arguing further with the folks at Lazy Lane I will just pay, but I doubt I’ll stay with them again. I suggest if you do decide to stay at a Lazy Lane cabin you should thoroughly inspect your cabin and document any issues you find so you aren’t stuck paying for damage you didn’t cause.
Overall: Cabin gets a B-​, customer service gets a D.

We have stayed at Lazy Lane properties multiple times over the past 3 – 4 years and have NEVER been disappointed. They always have top quality cabins, and the addition of Wi-​Fi to their properties in order to stay «slightly connected» to home is a nice piece of mind to have when trying to «get away… but not off the grid away». Reasonable prices and great private locations. Well worth checking out… espeically the Buckeye Bungalow and Sugar Ridge locations… lovely cabins for 2 adults to enjoy! GIVE THEM A TRY… YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

My wife and I rented a cabin here for the first time. We were very pleased. The cabin was clean and smelled good. It was Hocking Cottage at the Lake. Views of the lake from the front windows and slider in the bedroom. Although this cabin isn’t remote it was perfect for us. You don’t need a 4×4 to get to the cabin. It is in a somewhat residential area but once in the cabin you don’t know it. The private hot tub was perfect after a long hike along one of the many near by trails. We went to Old Man’s Cave. Ash Cave and Conkle’s Hollow are nearby as well. Overall a very pleasant experience at this cabin. The staff was very friendly at check in and check out. We definitely will be coming back.

I always go to lazy lane cabins whenever I stay in the hocking hills area. They have never let me down! I really enjoy being able to check in late, go to a beautifully kept cabin, and get my money’s worth! Always great customer service. They are so popular that I have to jump on a cabin quite in advance now a days.

My husband took me and our dog to one of Lazy Lane’s cabins in November 2013 as an anniversary surprise.
The staff are super friendly and welcomed us upon arrival to the main office. They gave us instructions on how to get to our cabin which were very helpful because our cabin was waaayyyy back in the woods and I don’t think our GPS would have found it. We took our dog with us to a pet friendly cabin they offered. We stayed in the triangle shaped cabin. I don’t remember what it was called exactly.
Everything was great until we arrived at the cabin. The inside of the cabin was clean but not cozy at all like I was hoping. The couch was hard, leather, and not comfortable at all. The floors were cold tile and the walls were bare studs. I guess I expected the walls to have wood boards across them like a traditional cabin. There was a little stove/​fireplace which was nice.
The stairs going upstairs to the bedrooms were STEEP! Our dog couldn’t climb them because they were so steep. I was even afraid of falling down them. The bed was hard as a rock and because of the triangle shape of the house, the walls tilted in and we both bumped our heads a few times. I literally got only a few hours of sleep the entire weekend.
The kitchen was nicely set up. Nice, large refrigerator, stove, sink, and a few appliances. The bathroom was also very nice and clean.
Now, I realize that we were deep in the woods and there are bugs, but I didn’t expect there to be so many bugs inside the cabin. It all started with the ladybugs. Hundreds of them were crawling inside the cabin walls, floor, counter tops, etc. Ok, so there are ladybug infestations in the woods all the time but what I didn’t expect was the cockroach we found in the kitchen. It crawled out from under the refigerator and I smashed it with my shoe. It was as big as a penny. I kind of freaked out but decided I wouldn’t leave unless more showed up and I never saw another one after that. Thankfully!
The TV in the livingroom was the size of a computer monitor which was a little annoying. I guess you don’t stay in Hocking Hills to watch TV but I wanted to watch the news at night but could barely see the TV from the couch so I had to wheel it much closer.
The saving grace of this cabin was the hot tub. It was clean, properly cared for, and hot when we arrived. It was kind of cool to hang out in the hot tub while it snowed. We heard a few animals creeping through the woods while we were in there so it made the experience exciting.
While I don’t think we will ever go back to this particular cabin again, I do think that we would go through Lazy Lane cabins if we ever stay in Hocking Hills again. They were friendly and I know that if we would have complained, they would have helped us out. We only stayed two nights so it didn’t seem right to complain about a few bugs. For the price, it wasn’t worth the stay in this cabin. I would have preferred a better, less-​bug filled cabin.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The area is beautiful. We stayed in Cardinal’s Crest which couldn’t have been more perfect for 2 people. Recommend checking out Ash Cave and Conkle’s Hollow which were very close. We will definately be repeat customers!

Overall, really good experience. Staff was wonderful. Super friendly and nice. We rented the Sky Breeze. Largest with wifi on site laundry with three levels and sleeps six. No pets allowed on this one. Heads up it is on a hill so be prepared and this wasn’t shared upon our confirmation email. Luckily we have four wheel drive.
Also, their policies are extended. Really extended. Basically if you don’t comply to their policies you get charged including but not limited to doing your own dishes for the next guests, taking out your own trash among other many things. To their defense there are a lot of guests they welcome so they have to run a tight operation. Still my only feedback to that is not leaving a tip in the envelope for work they are not performing. Sorry gang. I don’t mind holding up my end of the bargain but please don’t look for tips for work the company doesn’t perform.
Tips: pack your own detergent, soap and dish washing liquid. Very little available and left in I’m assuming each property so bring your own. Flat screen TVs. DVD movie options all great choices: My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Scent of a Woman, Good Fellas.
Nice welcoming… we had a «Welcome Kirk and Laura» on our front door upon arrival.
Would consider again. Less than an hour from Columbus. Nice experience.

The cabin werented was efficient enough, but the service was bad. The lady in charge was rude and seemed to busy to talk to us. Although her help was friendlier. I’m chalking it up to the many tourists they see and have to deal with. A pleasant experience if it wasn’t for her.

We stayed at the Casa Del Sol cabin. It was spacious and much larger than the pictures would indicate. It was on a nice, wooded lot – although the driveway was steep and rutted. (Rent a 4-​wheel drive truck if you dont already own one!)
My only complaint is that they do the bare minimum to keep things maintained. Every window had a window crank that was stripped and it made it difficult to open the windows. There were no curtains on any of the windows – would have been nice to keep the sun out of the upstairs bedrooms during the day.
The cleaning staff never dust – all of the tables in the living room were coated with a layer of it.
I still give this place 3 stars because it is an excellent value for the money and you have lots of room.
When planning your trip, you will want to bring along a lot of food and beverage as it is a 30+ minute drive to the nearest restaurant/​stores (save for the Grouse’s Nest Restaurant down the street). This place has a nice kitchen and a large grill and firepit and so I recommend cooking at home.

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Liberty Cabin at Lazy Lane in May of this year. The cabin was just as shown on the pictures. If anything, it was bigger than I expected for a 2 person cabin.
The check-​in was quick (5 minutes tops) and painless. The place was clean and all supplies for standard cooking were there as described. The grill was clean. The hot tub was perfect after a 4+ hour hike on Saturday.
We also took our dog with us on the trip. The property was wide open and great for her to run around in the front/​side yards. They also had dog dishes for our use, which was great since we forgot to bring ours along.
As we were sitting in the hot tub, we were already talking about making another trip with friends and/​or making our trip an annual thing.
Thanks for the great weekend!

Before I launch into my critique, I would like to say that we did have a lovely time in our cabin (Hocking Cottage by the Lake, I believe it was called). It was neat, clean, spacious, well-​equipped. It felt homier than our actual home. The price was nice ($ 129/​night for a whole cabin) and I looooooved having the spa outside. The bed seemed a little smallish, but the sheets were wonderfully soft, even if the pillows were a bit flat.
(We also chose the cabin that we chose because Lazy Lanes has some of the few cabins I saw online that don’t look like they were decorated by Aunt Bea.)
That having been said, I can’t quite give Lazy Lanes five stars, although I’d certainly go back again. I’m actually quite put off by the customer service expectations of many of the cabins we looked at in Hocking Hills before settling on Lazy Lanes, but I’ll focus on their policies alone since we stayed there. I completely understand some of their policies – like not messing with hot tub settings or not smoking inside. I wouldn’t want someone smoking in my rental, either, or breaking my hot tub. I think the level of housekeeping they expect you to do is a little extreme, though. (Also? Even though you practically have to do all the housekeeping yourself, there’s an envelope left on top of the microwave for a tip. Yes, let me tip you for doing my own dishes, putting my own clean dishes away, reusing my towels per their request, taking out my own trash, and generally leaving the place with about 20 minutes’ worth of cleaning to be done). Things that you don’t leave practically immaculate «may result in an extra charge» on your bill.
Oh, but if the cable that was promised goes out or the spa breaks down, you get no credit or refunds for that. In fact, there doesn’t seem to be any kind of extenuating circumstance that might allow someone to be credited or refunded their money. I understand they lose revenue, but their policies just seem too extreme. It was a little off-​putting and, as much as I liked the cabin – a lot – it’s hard for me to give money to people who are not really that interested in developing a customer-​owner relationship.
Some other negatives about the cabin: it wasn’t at all secluded (a house was a stone’s throw away) despite seeming so in the description/​photos, the lake level was down so the beautiful vistas promised by the photos weren’t there, total lack of light outside and it can be difficult to see going in and out at night. Otherwise, it was really nice – I probably wouldn’t go when it was full price during the season, but I’d definitely take another off-​season getaway.
