Damages: We, the owner’s of the Black Ridge Cabins have designed and furnished our homes with the highest quality materials and amenities. We expect that our guests will at all times respect the inside, outside and surrounding property. We reserve the right to charge you for any damages or excessive cleaning needed from your stay. If you notice any problems upon checking in, please let us know immediately to avoid any damages being charged to your account. These are Luxury Log Homes with top-of-the-line furnishings, not your typical Log Cabins.

Amenities: Occasionally appliances, hot tubs, fireplaces, etc. can malfunction. We will service and restore these amenities as quickly as we can, but will not make any rental concession for time without these items. Likewise, loss of electricity, water, or other “Acts of God or Nature” that are outside of our control will not result in a refund of any monies paid. Due to cleaning and servicing, hot tubs are sometimes not up to full temperature at the time of check in and may need a few hours to heat. We ask that you follow all guidelines and policies regarding use of amenities in order to keep them functioning at peak efficiency. Failure to do so may result in additional charges for damages.

Smoking allowed on back deck/patio with proper disposal of cigarette butts.

Driving Conditions: Hocking County is a very rural county with curvy and hilly roads which requires cautious driving. The roads leading to the Black Ridge Cabins are paved but very narrow and maintained by the townships. On occasion, especially in winter months, roads and/or driving conditions may be treacherous. At these times, 4-wheel drive is absolutely required. Some roads(driveway to Black Ridge Lodge) are very, very steep and will require 4-wheel drive during inclement weather or any significant snowfall.
