Smoking is not allowed inside our cabin. You are welcome to smoke outside. Ashtrays are provided. PLEASE RESPECT OUR PROPERTIES AND PLACE BUTTS IN ASHTRAYS/BUCKETS NOT ON THE GROUND. There is a $100 charge plus damages for smoking in the buildings. They are made of logs and retain the odor of smoke.

We treat our cabins for pests but remember the cabins are in the woods and you may encounter insects. Fun Fact, we do not get cockroaches here in the country, but we do get wood roaches (they look the same), they do not carry disease and they do not infest cabins (they like the woods). You may come across one in the cabin. Also, we put out mice bait behind stoves and refrigerators but in the winter those guys get in through a 1/2″ opening at ALL cabins in Hocking Hills
