Secluded mountain view cabin near Hocking hills


Ready for the Holidays ? Escape to this modern mountain cabin, surrounded by sweeping mountains filled with natural light , wrapped in stunning peak views and sunlight through a gorgeous wall of windows. Enjoy crackling nights by the fire pit, movie-style evenings in the home theater, and pure relaxation in the outdoor hot tub beneath the stars -all while being just minutes from town conveniences with smooth, easy road access.


Nestled among towering pine and oak trees, this stunning mountain retreat offers breathtaking views of the surrounding range through a wall of windows — providing an unobstructed panorama of nature’s beauty.

With over 4,000 sq. ft. of living space, there’s room for everyone to relax and unwind. Enjoy movie nights in the dedicated theater, challenge friends in the game room, or simply lounge by the wet bar.

Families with children will love the kids’ room featuring three bunk beds, perfect for sleepovers and laughter-filled nights. After a day of adventure, unwind in the hot tub, fire up the grill, or gather around one of two firepits for cozy evenings under the stars.

The first firepit, located under a covered gazebo, can be enjoyed rain or shine. For a truly scenic experience, take a short 100-ft hike uphill to the second firepit, where you can share stories and create lifelong memories surrounded by mountain views.

Just 5 minutes away, Strouds Run State Park offers endless outdoor activities — boating, swimming, fishing, or hiking along its beautiful 10-mile lakeview trail.

The house was located on a beautiful property just north of Athens and comfortably fit our family, but there were significant cleanliness problems in the kitchen. We advised the owners so they could take care of it - which they said they would do after we left - but it did impact our use of the kitchen.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The kitchen is fully stocked, the beds are comfortable and the house has so much space. We enjoyed the beauty of our surroundings, especially the night sky while relaxing in the hot tub. The host provided clear information for check in and check out procedures. Would definitely stay at the rental again!

My friends and I got together for our fantasy football draft at this cabin. We do this trip every year and move around to different locations all over Ohio. After this weekend, the whole group was discussing making this place a permanent fixture every year moving forward! It was a wonderful experience in a large cabin with a ton of living space. There was room for people to be on their own schedules, spend time watching movies or outdoors. The location is great with a short drive down to Athens for breakfast or cooking supplies as well as parks/trails just around the corner. Fire pit is very cool and we wish we had used it more over the course of the weekend. Drana is great and very responsive. We were low on some house supplies and she insta-carted them over instantly! Great host experience. We did feel that the internet was not able to keep up with the demand at times. It was very spotty throughout the weekend for most of us, so might not be the best location for serious gamers. We were a little stressed with buffering during some football games, but everything worked out. I liked the chance to put my phone down at times and focus on the nature and company. Overall, a 5 star place and we cannot wait to go back!

Nine of us OU alumni stayed in this house for our first reunion in Athens in about 20 years, and it was perfect. Beautiful house, spacious bedrooms and common areas, plenty of seating, excellent air conditioning, and a nice sense of seclusion just a short drive from uptown Athens. Tip for future visitors, not every restaurant will deliver there. But Avalanche Pizza will, and that’s really all you need isn’t it?

Hill House

This lovely house met all our needs. We ranged in age from 40 to 90. Easy access for 90-year-old, she even made it to the fire circle up the hill with assistance. Appreciated the walk-in showers. Kitchen was very well equipped including a spice rack. Easy access to state park and town for supplies. We enjoyed hiking on the old logging road. Fall colors were gorgeous from front porch. We are likely to return.
