About this property

The Chalet | Located In Hocking Hills Ohio

Very quite and peaceful setting situated on 4 acres of manicured lawn. Spend time playing games or having a cookout. The large, spacious yard and fenced in area are great for pets and families to enjoy the outdoors. We have 40+ acres of private forest for our guests to explore. Our property sits adjacent to 1000+ acres of Wayne National Forest, great for hunters! The private, stocked pond is a great place to enjoy nature.

The lodge sits on a private 4-acre manicured lawn where guests can spend time outdoors to play yard games, sit around the outdoor firepit, cook out, explore the forest, or fish the 3-acre private pond. You are centrally located to all Athens, Logan, and Nelsonville have to offer allowing you to explore all of Southeast, Ohio! Our guests are minutes from Old Man’s Cave, Cedar Falls, Ash Cave, Ohio University, and countless state lakes. Come explore, experience, and enjoy the great outdoors and the beautiful rolling hills of Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest.

You will walk into this rambling rustic A-frame lodge to a large vaulted great room and a beautiful two-story stone fireplace. The lodge has a spacious main floor, two lofted areas, and a basement made for entertainment. We provide everything for you and your guests to have a memorable Hocking Hills experience. All you need to worry about is enjoying your time away at the cabin! The kitchen comes fully equipped with all the amenities and appliances you need to cook delicious homemade meals. Grab fresh ingredients from our local Kroger or dine out at one of our favorite local restaurants.’

There is a grand dining area where you and your guests can spend quality time around the table. Instead of cooking in the kitchen, head through the French doors to the side porch where you can cook flame grilled burgers and veggies. Once you are filled up from your meal, head to the large sectional to relax and watch movies on the big flat screen TV. Put a movie in the DVD player and grab some buttery popcorn to top it off! The basement offers a great space for entertainment with a second living room, large flat screen TV, a game room with pool table and bar, and easy access to the hot tub and outdoor fire pit. There are so many rooms in this lodge, you may end up getting lost. Turn off all the lights in the lodge to play the most epic game of hide-n-seek!

a lovely stay for everyone!
Love the location and all the available space inside this chalet. Lots of extras! Everyone had an awesome trip even with rainy weather!!! Hot tub appears to have a slow leak but wasn’t an issue and was nice and warm.

Something for everyone!
The Chalet was the perfect space for bringing together three generations of family from three areas of Ohio for Easter weekend. From greenspace for wiffleball games and Easter egg hunts to the pool table, hot tub, and private pond with canoes, we made plenty of memories and hope to make it a yearly tradition. The clean, spacious, and well-stocked home comfortably accommodated us -- Thank you!

Robbins Stay at Chalet
The overall stay was decent. Was not too pleased with hot tub being moved to a no privacy area(photo online showed different location) and not being properly cleaned, refilled, and sanitized. we found clothes from prior guest on steps to hot tub, so we knew it was not touched prior to our stay. The Hiker Cafe menu is out of date and out of items listed for sale. Cable tv in Nelsonville leaves something to be desired. The pool table had a big gash in the felt , and needed replaced to play a proper game of pool. Was not same pool table in the online listing. Overall like we said, the stay was decent for the discounted price we paid. Would not stay here at full price unless amenities were up to date and impeccable. To us, that is what makes the stay, the game room and hot tub. We own businesses and when we come down to stay we basically stay in and do not leave much. This is the second straight stay at a bigger lodge type setting where the pool table and the hot tub were in poor condition , and our stay and its enjoyment were directly affected.Check out time of 10 am is too early as well.We have been coming to the Hocking Hills for over 20 years and have NEVER been asked to check out before 11, and we have always been accommodated if we were running behind. Maybe the time of year played a role in how the place was presented, but not sure. Duane and Angela Robbins

So much FUN!
Totally enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. House was clean. Bedrooms were comfortable. Kitchen was great for cooking. House was warm even on the nights with single digit temps. Will definitely rent again from First Choice. My only complaint is check in/out is at the store which adds a little time/effort instead of being able to just arrive at the rental.
