Cozy Cabin-Hot Tub, Pool Table & Game Room-Ideal for Families & Small Groups

COZY MERLOT CABIN — Hocking Hills Your private escape in the pines · Sleeps up to 8

Close your eyes and picture it: the smell of pine trees, a crackling fire, and nowhere you have to be.

That's exactly what's waiting for you at Merlot Cabin. 🍷

Tucked into a beautiful white pine grove in the heart of Hocking Hills, this warm and welcoming cabin was made for the kind of trip people talk about for years. Whether you're planning a family getaway, a friends' reunion, or just a long-overdue escape from the everyday — this is the place.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT 🗣️
Merlot Cabin is rated a perfect 10/10 on VRBO across 109 reviews. That's not luck — that's 109 families and groups who showed up, exhaled, and left wishing they'd stayed longer.

INSIDE, EVERY DETAIL SAYS RELAX 🧘‍♂️
Sink into the spacious living room and let the fireplace do its thing while everyone catches up. The fully-equipped kitchen means you can cook real meals together, or just snack and stay in your pajamas. Sleeping up to 8 across three queen beds, 3 full bathrooms and a bunk, there's plenty of room for the whole crew to spread out and get comfortable.

WHEN YOU'RE READY TO PLAY, HEAD DOWNSTAIRS 🎱👾🕹️
The game room is loaded with a pool table and Pac-Man, perfect for a rainy afternoon or a late-night tournament that gets way more competitive than anyone expected.

STEP OUTSIDE AND BREATHE 🌲🪵
The wrap-around deck is made for golden-hour grilling. After dinner, lower yourself into the relaxing hot tub on the covered deck and just let go. When the stars come out, pull up a chair at the fire ring, roast some S'mores and remember what it feels like to slow down.

THE BEST PART? 😊
You don't have to think about a thing. All linens and towels are provided. Free WiFi keeps everyone connected. And our pricing is refreshingly simple — no hidden fees, no surprises. Just one great rate and one unforgettable trip.

Merlot Cabin fills up fast — especially on weekends. Book your dates before someone else does.

Large but cozy! Plenty of places to exist, large table for games and eating with a group. Great indoor and outdoor activities. The fire pit was cool, the hot tub is large. The mattresses were soft (firm needers take note!) but were still comfortable! Would absolutely stay again.

Host was very responsive and helpful both before and during our stay. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. House was super clean. I wouldn’t hesitate booking this cabin. They had just put in a new fireplace and it was not quite working the way it should, however hosts were out ASAP in attempts to fix it which was appreciated.

This is our second stay at the Merlot in six months… We are in love with this cabin. Our kids love to play in the hot tub and the awesome basement. It is always so clean and we can’t get enough of it. Its proximity to everything Hocking Hills has to offer is wonderful. We also highly recommend trying the Laurelville pizza at the little shop in the town Square not far away. We will be back again soon.

Spring Break Hiking Trip

We loved everything about our stay at the Merlot! The property was only about 15-20 minutes from hikes, very clean and cozy, our kids loved all the outdoor space and hot tub! Kate responded very quickly and was so kind. We will definitely stay here again!

The Merlot experience

What a wonderful time for our family. We booked last minute to get away for Memorial Day Weekend. The cabin was perfect in every way. We loved the hot tub, having fires out back, playing inside and outside the property, taking walks down to the creek and more. We already can’t wait to come back!
