Our family loved this cabin. Everything was clean, and the property is very well kept with so many new amenities. The layout of the cabin is great, and if you’re bringing other family members or friends, it’s nice that the downstairs is its own suite. The beds and couches are super comfortable.The kids loved the hot tub, and our dog loved being able to hike the trails right on the property. Great stay!

Hocking hills getaway

Stayed 3 nights at this property & we loved it. We really appreciated the cold AC because it was 100 degrees the days we stayed. Cabin had all the modern amenities with a rustic feel. Close to Hocking hills state park. We loved the hot tub at night & the firepit area by the barn. Deck with hammock off the master bedroom was awesome. Would definitely recommend this place!

Beautiful Cabin!

This cabin is beautiful, perfect spot for my friends and I to hang out, have a fire and relax. Close to hiking trails and the acres in the back were fun to hike. I loved the setup of the cabin, having the “bar”/fireplace away from the house where we can walk too. Overall great experience- Thanks Pat and Chelsea!!!

New Years Getaway

The Bushby was perfect!! The place had everything we needed & it was immaculately clean. It has an inviting & welcoming feel. We were allowed to bring our dogs & the Bushby was very accommodating. The property has all the hiking we wanted. The hot tub felt so good after a day of hiking & outdoor activity. We would give it more than 5 stars if we could, thank you for having us stay at your awesome place.

Memorial Day Getaway

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Bushby House! It was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing Memorial Day weekend.We especially enjoyed the trails on the property which we hiked every day with our pup. The fire pit and the hot tub were also a treat.We also loved the app, so handy and helpful! We listened to their playlist and even visited the natural spring that they mentioned. It was great to have all of that information readily available. We would definitely recommend the Bushby House for guests that are looking for a little luxury but also some peace and quiet!

Place is nice. Snow storm came during our stay, we were told the driveway would be plowed prior to our 10am departure but it wasn't. Made for a tricky way down the hill. I would have left the day before the snow came but i was told the driveway would be plowed.

Great location, super comfy - but you NEED a 4-wheel drive vehicle to get to it

We stayed for 4 nights in mid-July, and we had a great experience. There was only 3 of us, but more could fit you there is a nice amount of space. The kitchen was well equipped, and the basics needed for cooking and coffee was better than a few other properties we have stayed at. It's was nice and isolated, you will not be bothered by any sort of neighbor. The drive is bumpy, and would absolutely be more than a challenge if you drive anything other than a 4-wheel drive truck or SUV.

The location was fine but the neighborhood is not so inviting. The lighting in the cabin is very dull, especially in kitchen and the upstairs bathroom. The deer flies were terrible and made it difficult to be in the hot tub or outside. We were killing them with our shirts just so the kids could be in the hot tub.

Hi Dixie, our family works very hard to care for these cabins and ensure each guest has a great experience, so it’s unfortunate to see this review given the circumstances. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

About the host

Hosted by The Retreats Hocking Hills

Host profile image
- About Your Hosts -
We're Pat & Chelsea - a husband and wife team behind Hocking Cabin Co. (formerly The Retreats Hocking Hills). We started this business to provide for our young family and to build something we're proud to pass down one day. Every cabin is personally cared for, thoughtfully designed, and rooted in our belief that hospitality should feel human. We're not a big corporate management company, and our properties don't feel that way. We love creating welcoming, high-end stays that feel like home - and we hope every guest leaves feeling like family.

Thank you for considering The Bushby. We'd be honored to host you.

Why they chose this property

Most Hocking Hills cabins give you a hot tub or a view. The Bushby gives you 40 acres to yourself, 5 miles of trails you won't share with another group, and a cabin that was just fully renovated - new kitchen, new floors, new furniture, an updated bathroom, and new fixtures throughout. It works whether you're a couple looking for a quiet weekend, a family that needs the kids to burn off energy on the trails, or a group of friends who just want a fire pit and no schedule. Step inside and the open living area flows straight into the kitchen and dining space, so nobody's stuck cooking alone.

What makes this property unique

- WHAT SETS THE BUSHBY APART -
・40 fully private acres - not a shared or overlooked lot
・5 miles of hiking trails that are exclusively yours for the stay
・A hot tub AND a wood-burning fireplace AND a basement wood stove - built for every season
・Just renovated: new kitchen, flooring, furniture & fixtures throughout
・A private barn hangout with games and a second fire pit, away from the main cabin
・2 king beds upstairs - great for multiple couples traveling together
