Do not stay here! While the brochure and website both show a very nice pool onsite, it is out of commission and has been for quite some time, and they do not mention this when you make the reservation! We booked our stay back on June 30th for two days in August specifically because of the onsite pool. We did not want to have to drive somewhere for a pool since we traveled with our 3 year old. We had two email conversations and phone conversations between the time of booking and arrival, and were never once told the pool did not work. Upon arrival, we discovered it had no water, and looked like it had been unused for quite some time. We immediately called the office to inquire and were told we could drive to one of two other pools that were 2-8 miles away and pay to use them! We said that was unacceptable and would be happy to stay the first night but wanted a refund for night two so we could make other arrangements to which we were told that couldn't be done. We were given the owners phone number which we called, but were told they weren't around. After calling the office again we were told someone would call us back that evening....surprise, nobody ever did. We never heard back from anyone, so we reluctantly stayed the second night. We called the office after checkout to see why we hadn't heard back and were told the owners were sorry about our disappointment but didn't feel a refund was neccessary, and that someone was supposed to tell us when we made the reservations about the pool. After this, we found many bad reviews online about the owners and their business practices, and read the pool hadn't worked for at least 2 years. The cabin was also filthy, with dirt and garbage on the carpet in the master bedroom. There were also piles of dead bugs all over the hardwood floors in the living area. After seeing the gross condition of the inside, we were afraid to use the hottub so it sat unused all weekend.

I booked a last minute stay based on the online pictures and the great price. Then I read the customer reviews and was plenty worried. However I feel I really got a lot for my money. The location is terrific so close to Hocking Hills State Park and fairly easy to find. Not the most scenic view from our cabin but plenty good enough. Hot tub was fantastic and fairly clean; I am not the most picky house keeper. Nice rustic log interior and wood floors. Beds were clean and fairly comfortable; I had no problem bringing my own sheets and towels for this price. Kitchen was fully stocked and again fairly clean. Bathroom was again fairly clean but needed some updating. The well water is terrible. Bring a full case of bottled water. The TV and air conditioner worked great. There is an efficient convenience and ice cream store just a mile or two away. We stayed in cabin 4 at the top of the hill; worth the steep rocky drive for a little extra privacy. All in all a lot for my money and I will go back.

We also booked the cabin then I found the reviews. I was sick after reading the bad reviews. We stayed at Black Jack crossing on June 29, 2012 and June 30,at cabin #1. It was very hot out and the cabin was so nice and cool for us. The cabin was very nice and clean. I never saw any bugs in the place not even an ant. NO mice or any droppings in the cabin. The hot tub was already on and heated for us and it was clean. The place is nice and wooded. The cabin has 2 very nice sized bed rooms and nice open area of living room ,kitchen ,dinning.It is close to the caves. We would stay here again.

I got a good last minute deal on a Blackjack cabin and then read lots of scary reviews and was very nervous!! However, the cabin was very clean and cute. We loved the fireplace and the hot tub on the deck. The only things that keep this from being a 5-star review was it would have been nice to have a gas grill on the deck instead of a charcoal grill under the deck. Also the water tastes pretty bad.... bring wine! All in all we had a very nice experience at Blackjack cabins.
