About this property

Retreat @ Rock House: Rustic + Updated with Hot Tub

Find Serenity. This updated cabin with rustic charm is the place to unplug and reconnect with nature and the people you love. The 3 seasons porch - complete with a napping spot, comfortable main living area, and well-equipped kitchen gives you no need to leave, yet you are close to all that Hocking Hills has to offer! Ideal for a couple, this dog-friendly cabin can sleep 2 more on the sleeper sofa or daybed. Outside, enjoy the fire pit, soak in the hot tub, or just soak in the views.

Welcome to Retreat at Rock House, where you can disconnect from your busy day-to-day and reconnect with nature and the people you love.

Just 1/2 mile down a winding road from the Rock House trail, you will find a 2-acre property overlooking the woods. As you head down the long driveway to the cabin, you'll probably be tempted to roll down your car windows to let in the fresh wooded air and sounds of nature. As you look around and see the firepit area (usually stocked with wood), hot tub (heated & ready to enjoy), and the charming one-of-a-kind cabin, you'll start to feel the stress melt and excitement build.

You will enter through the 3 seasons room. A place you'll return to later for a cocktail, snack, and game of cards at the bistro table. Or, perhaps you will find yourself getting lost in a novel or catching a power nap on the day bed after a vigorous hike!

You'll go through the main cabin door into the kitchen, remodeled in 2022 and stocked with the tools you need to cook a full meal (the owner is an avid cook and has stocked accordingly), or enjoy your favorite hot beverage or cocktail.

Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find the living room and dining area - a space that was the original cabin 100 years ago. We added the technology and comfort you expect today while keeping the original character intact - you'll find what you need for a cozy experience - a sofa with a queen pullout, comfy chairs, a remote-controlled gas fireplace, and a 55" smart TV with a DVD player connected. You can enjoy what you've prepared in the kitchen in a cute dining area with seating for up to 4. You will also find a corner cabinet stocked with things that fuel fun and connection with each other... board games, Jenga, drinkware and more!

As you enter the master bedroom, you'll notice the airy feeling created by the soaring ceilings and shiplap walls. Warning: After sleeping in the new kind beg with a Casper matters, you may have trouble getting out of bed in the morning - but perhaps you don't need to! You'll find convenient touches like dimmable lamps with wireless phone chargers on your nightstands. Finally, you will find a fully updated master bathroom with high-quality toiletries provided.

Take it from our guests:
"We highly recommend! The house was very peaceful and relaxing. Just what we needed. Tastefully decorated with all the necessities." - Annette

"Loved Staying at the Retreat at Rock House! It was a peaceful 4 nights (me, my husband, and our two dogs). Everything was very clean and was as described in the listing. Great location to access many trails! We loved the hot tub after a day of hiking and the fire pit was perfect for s'mores! It was a beautiful and perfect for our relaxing getaway. Bed was very comfortable too! So many extra touches and well stocked kitchen. Would absolutely stay here again!!" - Liz

"I had an incredible experience at this cabin... The space was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, with easy access to local attractions and restaurants. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantasy stay in the area!"

Weekend getaway

This is a very cute cabin. Pictures are accurate of property. The location was nice to attractions. If you are traveling with others you should know the only bathroom is off of the bedroom area, there is a barn style sliding door but it doesn’t stay shut. Not an issue for us but if you need more privacy it might be. We didn’t cook much but the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. It even had a crockpot. Bed was comfortable as was the living room furniture. We would stay here again.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2025

Why they chose this property

You will not find another like it! The original structure is from the 1930s, with additions since and a full modern renovation in 2022. It's about 1/2 mile from The Rock House Trail and 5-15 minutes driving to most other attractions in Hocking Hills. It's equipped thoughtfully and ready for relaxation.

Here's what our guests have to say:
"Repeat guests. We love this cabin and the location. Peaceful. Close to hiking. Always have a great time."
- Guest from Cincinnati, OH

"Lovely Cabin, beautiful scenery. Interior was well decorated, hot tub in the woods was wonderful. Lots of great hiking nearby."
