Your Carefree Cabins Packing List

“What should we pack for our stay at Carefree Cabins in Hocking Hills?” It’s a question we receive quite often via phone and email. The information we include on our website regarding cabin amenities is pretty high level and doesn’t go into great detail regarding all the extras we provide. Most of our guests are very pleasantly surprised when they arrive at one of our cabins for the first time and start looking around. We really tried to think of everything so our guests can enjoy a truly “carefree” escape to Hocking Hills.

So, what exactly do we include at each of our cabins? And what do you need to bring when you come for a Carefree Cabins getaway? Well… We’re about to tell you what to include in your Carefree Cabins packing list! 🙂

You won’t have to bring much, that’s for sure.

Basically, you need to bring clothing, personal toiletries, and some food & drink. Food and drink is optional, but many of our guests like to “hunker down” and never leave the cabin. Just read a few or our awesome guest reviews and you’ll see why.

We encourage everyone to get out and visit our local eateries & watering holes. However, we certainly won’t fault anyone for wanting to just chill at the cabin. You could also wait until you get here and make a supplies run to the local Kroger or Walmart for food & drinks.

We also offer several awesome Goodie Tubs you can purchase as an add-on to your cabin reservation. We’ll have them waiting for you at the cabin when you arrive.

Of course, our cabins are pretty private and secluded, so clothing could also be considered “optional”. But if you’re going to venture out, I’m sure the locals, other visitors, and Hocking County law enforcement might appreciate it if you are fully dressed. At least wear a loin cloth or throw a sheet around yourself! 😉

Seriously though, we do offer pretty much everything you need and you shouldn’t have to pack much for your stay. This is especially helpful for our guests who ride motorcycles. Not only do they appreciate our paved asphalt driveways, but they also don’t have to haul much on their bikes.
