Frequently Asked Questions
Why should you choose Pleasant Valley Cabins?
We offer you a secluded cabin, atop a hill, in a wooded setting, well off the county road.
Our cabins have DirectTV so your rainy days won't be spent watching DVDs or battling the poor, if any, reception afforded the Hocking Hills landscape. There's a TV in the loft for video games or DVDs.
We really are right in the middle of everything. We're 5 -15 minutes from every attraction. You can be closer to one
of the parks, but you'll be further from shopping and much farther from the other parks.
We think a log cabin provides the ambience you won't find in some other cabins and cottages. There's not a piece of drywall in the entire cabin!
Our cabins are newly built, competitively priced, & owner cleaned and maintained. When comparing rates & options, don't forget to ask: How secluded is the cabin?
What is the location to all attractions? Tax rate? Fire ring allowed? Hot tub size? Firewood? Phone?
Please call us at 888-762-8183 to answer any questions you might have.
We hope that once you arrive at Pleasant Valley Cabins, you'll know you've made the right selection and we'll do everything we can to assure you of that. We truly appreciate the opportunity to make this your "Getaway Destination" for a long time to come.

How secluded are the cabins? How close are the cabins to each other?
Our cabins are quite secluded, 1/4 mile off a county road. You'll surely be visited by a variety of wildlife. When the leaves are on, you can't see one cabin from the other. There is an obstructed view during the other seasons. If guests from both cabins are sitting on the deck, you won't be looking at the other nor will you be able to talk back and forth. They are within walking distance of each other which makes for a great multi-family vacation spot.
During the winter months, 4 wheel drive could be a "must have" after a big snowfall. We'll be happy to transport you to & from your cabin if you don't have 4 wheel drive.

What do we need to bring?
Personal toiletries like soap & shampoo. We supply all bed, bath & kitchen linens. We also provide an initial supply of paper towels and toilet tissue. You'll want to bring beach towels for hot tub use.
Although the water is conditioned, it is well water and you may want to bring drinking water.
We have FREE firewood for the fire rings. Due to the Emerald Ash Borer, we cannot allow you to bring in firewood from outside this area. You'll need newspaper or a firestarter log for the outside fire. The inside fireplaces are gas.
Flashlights are good to have on hand.

Do we need to bring any special kitchen items?
The kitchen is well stocked with table settings, pot, pans, bowls, casserole dishes, cookie sheets & small appliances including coffeemaker, toaster, mixer and microwave. If you're requiring a food processor or blender, you'll want to bring one with you. .: to top
What is there to do in the area once we get there?
If you want to do more than tuck yourself away in the cabin for a totally stress free getaway, you'll find lots to do in the Hocking Hills. The state parks offer hiking trails, short-long, easy-difficult. Swimming and/or picnic areas are available in most spots . Each park shares its own natural beauty with caves, waterfalls, wildflowers, rock formations, towering trees, lakes or wildlife.
There are several businesses that offer canoe trips on the Hocking River or rappelling the sites of the Hocking Hills.
Shopping options includes antique malls, craft malls, flea markets, farmers markets, handcrafted furniture, specialty shops, & national chain stores.
Dining options include gourmet dining, Amish "family style dining", Asian & Mexican cuisines, & major fast food chains. Most national restaurant chains are only about 15 miles away.

Is there a telephone in the cabin?
The cabins do not have phones. Most cell phones work at both cabins. We do have a "pre-paid card" cell phone we can make available to you.
