Non aggressive pets are welcome and must be listed on the rental agreement. A fee of $35 per pet is applied for the entire stay. Pets must be kept on a leash at all times when they are outside and off the treehouse deck. And we ask that you clean up after your pet throughout your stay.

Any additional cleaning that is needed due to excess dirt or fur will result in a $75 cleaning fee. The registering guest is responsible for the pet at all times while on River Ranch property including any damage to property, personal injury caused by the pet, or any disturbance created by the pet.

Smoking
Smoking or the use of E-cigarettes is not permitted in the treehouse or in the hot tub. If you choose to smoke outdoors, please responsibly dispose of your cigarette butts and do not leave them on the ground.

Camp Fires/Fire places
Fire rings have been provided for your use. Please ensure that all fires are contained to the fire ring area, that they are attended at all times and that they are completely extinguished before going to bed or leaving the area.

If you would like to purchase firewood you can call 740-216-4717. Or, you are welcome to pick up fallen limbs and sticks. However, we ask that you not break or cut limbs off of trees and bushes at any time.
We do have gas fireplaces in each tree house that are operational from September to April each year. We ask that you not burn anything in the fireplace and be sure that it is turned off when unattended.
Damages
We reserve the right to charge the credit card used for the deposit for any damages to property or any excessive cleaning that is required after your stay. If you note any damaged contents of the tree house upon check-in please email guestservices@riverranchhockinghills.com.
Hot Tubs
Each tree house has its own hot tub. Please review the hot tub rules with each member of your group. Each guest should shower before and after each hot tub use. If any member of your party has skin sensitivities, high blood pressure, or is pregnant, they should not enter the hot tub. There is absolutely no smoking, use of bubble bath, bath oil, soaps or any glass containers allowed in the hot tub. Please be sure not to sit on or otherwise damage the hot tub cover. Please keep the hot tub covered and latched when not in use. These are expensive and the cost would be passed along to the guest. A complete list of hot tub guidelines is listed in the tree house guide found in each tree house.

Wildlife and Pests
Our treehouses are regularly treated for pests however, we are in a heavily wooded area and it is possible that insects/pests may make their way inside. No refunds will be given for insects/pests found inside your treehouse. Please do not leave food on decks or under treehouses as it invites wildlife.
Acts of Nature and Amenities
We certainly hope that your stay is uneventful, however any disruptions of any service or mechanical device provided, including but not limited to power outages, internet or TV outages, water outages or malfunctioning hot tubs, TVs, DVDs, fireplaces or Heater/AC’s are not grounds for refunds. Management will make reasonable efforts to repair any malfunctioning item-however, refunds will not be granted. Inclement weather or other “Acts of God” will not result in a refund.
Guest Safety
The Tree Houses at River Ranch are located in the beautiful Hocking Hills. The roads in and around our resort can be treacherous at various times of the year, 4 wheeled vehicles are always suggested and heeding all weather warnings is very important. Within our 150 acres, there are cliffs, valleys, hills and waterways. The area underneath and around your treehouse can have uneven surfaces, wildlife, and other dangers. Please note that the very nature of tree houses mean that they will be suspended in the air with deck heights as high as 30’, numerous deck railings, uneven walkways, gravel surfaces and at times icy or wet conditions and in low or no light conditions. Inside some tree houses there are steep ladders, railings and low or lowering ceiling heights. Please make sure all children are attended at all times. We suggest never hiking alone and always being careful inside and outside the tree houses.
