What our Guests have to say

The Grande Old World has it all from access to Lake Logan, comfortable yet impeccable accommodations and in a stunning resort like setting. The fire pit was a highlight of our trip. It's set out in the front yard with trees all around and large enough to accommodate 20 people. It was just the two of us though and a fox that came to see what was happening. We spent hours on the deck taking in the beautiful views of the yard and lake. The windows in the living room were amazing serving as a constant connection to nature viewable from almost every room. The Grande Old World is a peaceful, impeccable escape for couples or families. We ate out for our meals and rented a pontoon boat at Lake Logan, but the cabin has new appliances and there are plenty of canoes, kayaks and bikes for use.

We loved this home away from home! We felt immediately welcome here with the wonderful atmosphere and attention to details! And don’t get me started on that view! The panoramic view was just awesome! The beds were wonderful and new, it felt like a cloud! There was also an amazing car bed, our kids didn’t join us this time, but this will definitely be our next family spot!! My husband and I enjoyed our time together with the fabulous grill that was brand new as well. We also had a nice relaxing soak in the hot tub which for this momma was just what I needed! We also had the opportunity to go canoeing! There were also great condition kayaks and mountain bikes!! I wish our stay was longer so we could have tried out those!! Just simply an amazing place to recharge for a couple or to bring the family and have a great vacation! We will definitely be back!!

Our cabin is tucked into a hillside with a large area for parking (at least 6 vans could easily park there), a nice size triangle shaped yard with a fire pit at one end. The 3 floors of the cabin are roomy and inviting for relaxation, conversation, games and activities. The walk-in first floor has a large room with a "U" shaped seating area of very comfortable leather sofas with a TV and DVD player, a fuse ball table, an air hockey table, a small counter and sink in the room. There are 3 bedrooms, 1 with a king size bed, on with two twin size beds and a bunk bed room with 2 sets of 3 bed levels to sleep 6 (children would fit in here the best.) This means the first floor are places for 10 people to sleep comfortably. There is a full bathroom and a laundry room also on this floor. Moving to the middle floor there is a beautiful west facing set of windows with a fireplace and mantel in the middle. There is a balcony all across the western face of the cabin with gliders, tables and a swing. Facing the fireplace is another "U" shaped set of leather sofas with a coffee table in the middle. On the east side of the main room is a large dining room with a table that has a tree for its middle legs!!! 12 could easily fit at this table. The kitchen is modern, granite top counters and island. All of the appliances were easily accessed and easy to use. There is room for at least 4 to eat at the island. Off the kitchen is a pantry with all you would need to cook, bake, broil whatever your group could want. (There are lots of other things in the pantry as well: a "fence" to block off the stairs from younger children, 2 "pack and plays" for young children to sleep in, place mats, a large fly swatter, a vacuum cleaner...and much, much more. The kitchen is fully equipped with all you would ever need. On the north side of the second floor is the master bedroom with a king sized bed, sitting area and full bathroom. On the south side there are two bedrooms with queen sized beds and a full bathroom. Through the sliding doors to the east there is a huge hot tub in which 8 can comfortably fit. Upstairs is a loft with another "U" shaped set of sofas, table, TV and DVD player. The communication with the manager was outstanding. The air hockey table was not working. Steve, the maintenance man came and fixed it immediately. All other questions were quickly responded to quickly. I highly recommend this cabin. I hope our family will rent it again

Hate to say goodbye to Hocking Hills, and Logan Lake. We love it, a perfect cabin on a beautiful Lake Logan in superb spot access to everything and we everything we needed was provided, hot tub lovely patio, great during the rain and covered and ideal for seeing daily deer. Looking forward to returning in the fall. Our place had the most beautiful floors you ever saw in your life with antique chandeliers and views from every window, view of the lake, views of the Ravine which has been nicely made into a beautiful garden. We had a fantastic canoe trip and did a lot of fishing right on the property with lots of Lake access includes life vests and paddles and bikes if you want to traverse the park.

Very clean and uniquely decorated getaway. There are many steep stairs to enter this loft however, if you can it’s worth it. Beautiful tree lined curvy roads and wehad fun fishing in the lake. Really enjoyed ourselves.
Date of arrival - July 22, 201

It’s one of the most relaxing places I ever rented, the waterfront is what sets it off. The fire ring down by the lake is so relaxing. We all were satisfied with everything. Thanks for a great vacation.

The cabin was the perfect-sized place for our stay. It met all our needs. Would definitely recommend it as a good vacation rental. Barb S.

It is simply outstanding. Beautiful from inside to outside. Attention to detail is unprecedented. Choose this cabin for a romantic step back in time with all the amenities and more. It rained the one day and we didn't even care. We were content to sit inside and watch the beauty through the spectacular windows. I will always stay here. I am in love!
Date of arrival - May 13, 2019

This was a perfect choice for us. We so enjoy the fine accomodations and the special decor was beautiful. I love a gorgeous bathroom and this certainly has it! Everything from the granite floors to the crystal chandelier had my full attention. There wasn't a thing that could have been improved on. We didn't get to the hiking because we were so content to canoe a bit and sit on our peaceful deck with coffee in the mornings and steak and wine in the evenings. We will plan to stay longer next time. Pure Bliss. Definitely will recommend.

Very relaxing and clean cabin. We enjoyed our time there very much!!
Date of arrival - July 28, 2019

The cabin was spacious and clean. The beds are very comfortable. It has everything you could want for a weekend or a long vacation on the lake.

This was one of the best VRBO rentals we've stayed in! The cabin is *beautiful* and (perhaps even more importantly) comfortable (the beds are 5-star hotel quality). It's very private (we never saw or heard the neighbors), set in gorgeous woods, and steps away from a beautiful lake! The included bikes and kayaks (and, of course, the giant hot tub) are a very nice over-the-top touch -- we highly recommend a sunrise kayak; the fog and the warm water were surreal. Evelyn is very helpful and nice (and clearly a master decorator), and the cabin honestly left us wanting for nothing -- everything was immaculate. We don't often travel to the same place twice, but we're already planning to return during the winter!

This place was amazing! It was clean & spotless! Very spacious, private & we loved the decor. Evelyn the owner was wonderful to work with, she made herself available at all times if you needed something. We will definitely be back & will be referring friends & family to this hidden gem just minutes from Hocking Hills!
Date of arrival - May 17, 2019

It was a beautiful home with lots of room. The views were outstanding and wereally enjoyed sitting outside on the deck.

​Exceptional property, well managed and worth every penny.

We took a family vacation, 8 adults, to the Hocking Hills area. Was very happy with the property! Plenty of room for everyone! The kitchen was really nice and even had two refrigerators/freezers. Very clean and maintained, and the view on the lake was great with room outside for games. Just wish we had more time there, very pleased! Would absolutely stay there again! Thanks so much.
Date of arrival - August 6, 2019

This is a beautiful cabin off the beaten path(not too far, though) It’s very well maintained & has everything you could possibly need. I would highly recommend Cut Above Cabins to anyone. And this crew will definitely be back!!
Date of arrival - August 23, 2019

I have asked the family members who joined me in my stay for their feedback and their responses include the following: Loved the way the cabin was furnished - nice furniture, plenty of towels, well stocked kitchen with nice appliances (two dishwashers and two refrigerators was fantastic!!), and loved the separate living spaces. We made use of the game room with foosball and air hockey.  All that said, we would gladly recommend you to others and would stay again if we make another trip down in the future!  Erica

Hi Evelyn,
We had the most wonderful time last week at the Summit Lodge.  The cabin was absolutely perfect.  It was the perfect space to spend a week with the people we love most and we are so grateful for it.  

Every couple had their own room - which is our one requirement when booking a house/ cabin for our family vacations - that was comfortable, and functional.  The kids had ample space to play and everyone had a spot to sit when it came time to watch World Cup Soccer or a movie.  We thoroughly enjoyed the deck with the swings and comfortable chairs and the large hot tub.

We loved going out for hikes in the morning to Hocking Hills State Park - what a treasure!  It was so nice to be close to shopping in Logan for those things we forgot or ran out of.  It was also nice not to have cell service!  A great excuse to totally unplug and enjoy our beautiful surroundings and each other.

The kitchen was fully stocked - which is so appreciated!  We have stayed at many rentals and are always missing something - you had everything and multiple of things that are needed for large groups.  We put the two refrigerators and 2 dishwashers to good use.

It was the most amazing week - and that is in large part to the perfectly curated space.  Than you, thank you, thank you!  We hope to return some day.  Take care and we wish you and your family all the best.

This was our 28th mother-daughter weekend. We started simple when our girls were just 10-12 years old and now they are in their 35-40's. We've grown to needing a large gathering place since we love to play games, cards and sit and talk and laugh! This year the cabin fit our needs with the large living room and convenience to other activities. It was an awesome place for 14 of us. Thanks for providing such a beautiful environment for us to make memories.

​Summit was the perfect spot to celebrate our daughters OU graduation. Our family enjoyed the space the surroundings. The cabin was well equipped with EVERYTHING we needed and more importantly wanted. Thank you 😊  Verna

​WOW! My gal pals and I journeyed to this cabin for a much needed R&R. We had a fantastic time and the facilities were A+. Laughter, food, campfire - a zillion stars in the sky. Absolutely everything we had hoped for. The cabin was amazing!!! Over the top. The interior of the cabin is as gorgeous as the outside. I would highly recommend. Very clean and well maintained by the owner.  Sherry

​  Good times with good friends in a GREAT ACCOMMODATION!  Jill

This cabin is fabulous with space for everyone. We had 18 in our group, young and old! The grounds were great with the firepit and flat grass for our outdoor games. The day it rained we enjoyed movies and used the game room a lot. Decks were covered so we even spent time out doors during the rain. The hot tub was awesome. We had 10 people in it and there was room for more. The grill is a Weber like we have at home. 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms! We were very comfortable. I forgot to mention the big sectional sofa both upstairs and down. Our group spent a lot of time together and apart. It couldn't be better laid out for a large group. We will come back next year too! Thanks.  Paula

This was our second year here together and we loved it! It is spacious enough to give everyone some elbow room. It was clean and had games available for all age groups. Great place to enjoy putting meals together after hiking in the area. It is a bit pricey.. cable went out after small snowfall.  Linda

​It was our second yr staying at the cabin. Very comfortable, nice large hot tub. Close to conkles hollow and Old Mans Cave. Lots of space around the fireplace. Love the large table for games and cards. We will definitely be back!  Leo
