Incredible secluded cabin featuring amazing forest views off of the back deck!

Welcome to one of the most well-stocked cabins in the Hocking Hills, where you can enjoy seclusion and tranquility in a spotlessly clean cabin nestled on a 42-acre ridgetop surrounded by epic forest scenery! This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin boasts a walkout basement, two amazing decks, and a fully-equipped kitchen that will make your travels stress-free.

As you approach the cabin from below, following an old logging road through the woods, you'll be greeted by an excellent seating space on the front deck. This is a great spot to get acquainted with the property before entering the cabin, where you'll find a charming open-concept living room, a well-appointed kitchen, and a cozy dining area.


The wall coverings were milled from local salvaged timber, giving the cabin a unique character. The rich Red Oak floors were also sourced from the area.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all the supplies you need, including coffee, olive oil, salt and pepper, paper towels, cookware, plates, bowls, utensils, and more. You can grill out on the large grill or use the full-size range to whip up a delicious meal.

The living area features ample seating around a beautiful gas fireplace, which provides great ambiance and radiant heat with the flick of a switch!

On the same floor, you’ll find two spacious yet cozy bedrooms, both featuring large windows with queen-sized luxury memory foam mattresses, located on the same floor as a lovely full bathroom.

Step out onto the elevated back deck and relax with tranquil views of the forest below. The ceiling fans on both decks make them great outdoor living spaces that stay comfortable even on the hottest days!


Heading downstairs to the walkout basement, you'll find a spacious rec room with a big-screen Roku smart TV. YouTube TV is available for your enjoyment, and you're welcome to log in to your own streaming services as well.

Two more bedrooms with forest views are down the hall, one with a queen bed and the other with a full/twin bunk bed - ideal for larger groups or kids!

The back porch provides additional outdoor space and is a nice quiet nook to relax and enjoy the sounds and sights of the forest while working the grill. When the sun sets, head around back and enjoy the night while sitting around the fire pit with your group.

The property itself is 42 acres and is yours to explore! There are a few old logging roads that are great for hiking, but keep in mind that they aren't currently maintained, so long pants are highly recommended. While there is one other cabin (listing #7713482) within eyeshot on the property, it is 500+ feet away, so you're about as secluded as it gets!

Although the cabin is secluded, it's less than 25 minutes from Hocking Hills State Park, which offers a range of outdoor activities for visitors. Tar Hollow is also nearby and has a public swimming lake.

The last mile of the road is gravel, but it's worth it! Standard sedans are usually fine as long as you drive slowly and strategically. Sporty low-clearance vehicles should be avoided. All-wheel drive is recommended in the winter months in case there is snow on the ground.

The internet is completely free of charge and is a high-speed low latency Starlink connection, making it easy to stream video or do video calling.

We keep our base rate on the low end and charge additional guest fees based on the number in your group. There are no guest fees for the first two guests. Please be honest about the number in your group, as we reserve the right to retain the damage deposit if we find that more beds and/or towels were used than the number of guests specified.


We also highly recommend that you purchase your own travel insurance in case of the need to cancel due to a positive COVID case in your group.

Finally, please take note that we are not responsible for items left behind. Any items that are requested to be mailed back will cost a $100 fee plus the cost of shipping.

Hunting is only allowed if both cabins on the property are rented at the same time (#7713482 and #1781220). A $250/day fee applies.

We look forward to having you stay with us and hope you enjoy your time in the Hocking Hills!

Secluded and Chill
It was a relaxing stay. Property is hidden away from everything but we only had to drive 30 minutes if we needed to get supplies. Pups loved the space. The only thing I wish they had was thicker blankets for the cool nights and maybe some lights around the hot tub area. Other then that it was amazing.

A piece of heaven
The cabin was absolutely beautiful. The outdoors was scenic with fall colors. The fire pit, trails, and hot tub were great for relaxing. We enjoyed are stay and will be back. The only thing I would add is a light above the kitchen sink, and by the hot tub.

Girls Getaway!
8 of us visited the cabin just this weekend. We brought our food and drink and had a wonderful time! Big tables to play games and sit together for meals. Cabin is clean and beautiful. We had plenty of towels and the beds were comfy. We enjoyed the use of the hot tub and built a nice campfire! This was the most beautiful time to visit the Hocking area....the changing of the leaves is a sight to be seen.

The area and property are beautiful. There were no closets or dressers making clothing organization a challenge. Firepit and hot tub were wonderful. Kitchen was well appointed but consumables did not accompdate 8 people. 8 is the max i would have here. I would recommend this property but recommend getting a clearer set of directions if you are not from the area.

Enjoyed our stay! Cabin provided all the comforts of home in a secluded wooded setting. Enjoyed the large back porch to relax and overlook the scenic property. Access to the cabin can get dicey based on weather conditions, but definitely worth the drive. Pay attention to the host’s directions!

The cabin was lovely, clean and comfortable. It was a perfect weather weekend to sit outside and talk on both the front and the back decks. Our only disappointment is that there were no wine glasses. Your amenities list wine glasses and there weren't any -- we made do but it was a disappointment. Thanks, Leslie

A Very Quiet Stay
Excellent property. Very quiet. No birds or animals heard or seen. Clean place out on top of a hill. Beautiful woods, and so peaceful. Close to small town and hiking. No mosquitoes, or bugs. Fresh air, and fresh well water. Hot water on demand. Can't say much more. If you like quiet and clean space, you will love being out here like we did.

three day trip to hocking hills state park
cabin was very nice, good layout, location was way out in the boonies which was stated in the vrbo description. while vrbo description stated roads to take, it was very confusing, I spent about an hour on the maps trying to figure out what roads to take. We decided to use Waze mapping software in care and drove right to the cabin, all that stress for nothing, I think reenter overreacted to people using old GPS systems and not internet systems, however, on parts of the roads there was not internet available. Last 150 feet of road up mountain to cabin was in rough condition, no problem for our truck but honda odyssey struggled getting up the hill, we did not use Honda the rest of our stay. so 4wd truck or SUV is highly recommended as stated in the description for winter, I think it should be all year. we won't be coming back to this cabin unless we have a truck or SUV even though we loved the cabin and setting. Also feel that internet-based GPS (Google, Waze, Apple) will get your there.

This house is truly secluded in a beautiful forest. Our family of four had plenty of room with some to spare. Amazing views off the back deck, which is where we ate and spent time. We ventured out to Logan to hike, zip line (highly recommend), and eat. The hills leading up to the house are steep and gravel/dirt. All Wheel drive was handy.

Great location for exploring Hocking Hills
Loved the seclusion of this property. An adventure just getting to the cabin- many times we saw deer along the road! It is “off the beaten path” but owners gave excellent detailed directions and the location is exactly what we were looking for. The setting in the woods was quiet and peaceful and could be enjoyed from both the front and back decks. We had an SUV so the single lane gravel road was not an issue. Away from the nearby cities, but only a 30 minute drive to restaurants and lots of Hocking Hills sightseeing. Loved the 2 full baths on both levels- adult kids had the lower level, giving us all space to spread out. The table on the back deck was great for meals and games. Had all the amenities- the WiFi worked great for being out in the woods. Central air was great after hiking in the heat all day. We really enjoyed our stay here! Hoping to visit again sometime - probably in the Spring when the waterfalls around Hocking Hills have more water. Would not hesitate to book this cottage again!
