OUR STORY

Hello from Dr. Ryan

The Hocking Hills Is Home. Not Just a Business.

Dr. Ryan and family

I grew up in Hocking Hills and still live here today with my young family, so when something needs attention at your cabin, I’m not a phone call in another state. I’m down the road.

That’s also why every property is built the way it is. I know which ridges have the best sunsets, which roads to avoid after rain, and what a family actually needs to have a great weekend, because mine uses these cabins too. Hot tubs that are ready when you walk in. Game rooms the kids don’t want to leave. Private acres where the dog can run and nobody’s on top of you.

Whether you’re here for a reunion, a couples’ getaway, or just a few days where the biggest decision is campfire or hot tub, you picked the right place, and we’re glad you’re here. Let’s make some memories.

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

Host was extremely responsive and proactive with recommendations for what to do in the area. Answered every question I had (and I had alot:) Checkin was very easy and conventient. I will say you do need 4wheel drive for access - with all the rain some of the gravel has washed away - my minivan would not have made it but my husbands Rav4 had no trouble. Super convenient just 10 minutes to the town of Logan -tons of restaurants and grocery stores. We hiked for the day in Hocking Hills and it was probably just a 20 minute drive from the Visitor Center.

Melissa L. Lake View Cabin,

Great place to stay and relax

Zane G. Lake View Cabin,

We had a great stay! The space was private, clean, and comfortable. It was a perfect place to relax.

Mayuko Y. Lake View Cabin,

My fiancé and I kind of impulsively decided to take this vacation, and we are both so happy we did. The cabin is secluded, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. While not sacrificing distance of any of the spots you would want to visit on a trip up to Hocking Hills. Almost all the trails you’ll want to hit up while being here are within 20 minutes. The sauna and hot tub after a long day of hiking on the trails is such a treat as well. There’s a surround sound speaker system: one speaker inside, one on the back porch, and one pointing at the fire pit. So wherever you are, you can enjoy your music. The water pressure was great too! Ryan was such a great host and super fast at responding to any questions we had. It truly felt like he wanted us to have the best stay here! If you’re thinking about pulling the trigger and staying here, do it, you won’t be disappointed!

Elliot H. Lazy Bear Cabin,

Great stay for the whole family!

autumn H. Hocking Hills Social Club,

This house is perfect for groups or large families. It is actually a quad-level house with each floor separated by 6-7 stairs. There are two large living areas with TVs, there are multiple (2.5) bathrooms and three bedrooms for your group needs. The most amazing part of this house is the deck area which has multiple tables, lots of chairs and a gas fire pit. There is a gas grill off of the kitchen and the hot tub which was in pristine condition. The bedding was clean and comfortable. The pond is definitely more of a fishing pond (catch and release) but my dogs had a great time swimming. The host is so nice and quick to reply. We would definitely stay there again.

Shannon S. Snickers Ridge Lodge,

It was a fantastic place would absolutely go again! It was beautiful and clean and fun only thing I want to let people know is have good off-road tires or a AWD or 4WD vehicle, it’s a steep gravel trail!

Tavian B. Top Tin Airstream,

We loved Emerald Lodge. The house was big enough for nine of us to enjoy. The game barn kept us entertained and the hot tub was nice. Ryan was a great host.

Kelli C. Emerald Forest Lodge,

We had a large family vacation and everyone loved that I chose this cabin! After searching for hours for an Air B&B in a large radius this one stood out the most during our browsing because of the seclusion, large rooms, a theater room(!), arcade games (which were a big hit for the children), a large kitchen and dining room, huge hot tub, large and comfortable rooms, and on and on. The lodge was very clean when we arrived and our family group had nothing but great things to say about the entire trip. Our only regret was not staying for an extra few days! We all highly recommend booking this cabin for your next large family gathering!

Jonathon P. Velvet Elk Lodge,

This is our second time staying here! It's just the two of us - and it's perfect although we've talked about bringing friends with us sometime. It would be great for rhat too!! We love it - the space and location and the new updates this year! Will still keep coming back!

Sara C. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

We stayed at this beautiful cabin and it was so relaxing. It has games for the kids and a hot tub which was an added plus after a long day of hiking. The property is surrounded by mature trees and was absolutely beautiful. Beds were comfy and I was able to sleep well! Definitely recommend!

Nicole A. Autumn Leaf Lodge,

Super kind and friendly hosts. I would definitely recommend!

Kyle B. Emerald Forest Lodge,

Our stay at the Top Tin Airstream was very peaceful and relaxing. My husband and I enjoyed our anniversary in this quiet part of Hocking Hills. Ryan was a very good and responsive host, and he addressed any concerns we had.

Briona A. Top Tin Airstream,

It was a beautiful cabin. Great for a night away from our busy schedules! Loved the sauna!

Scott S. Lake View Cabin,

My kids and I loved this place. Super family friendly and homey !

Zaira F. Glass City BNB: Lancaster,

Such a nice quiet and private cabin. It sits at the top of a hill with a really beautiful view. The outdoor space with the hot tub, grill, fire pit, projector (with Roku attached), and more was a nice place to relax! Inside was clean and decorated nicely. The host was very responsive to messages and was flexible with us due to severe storms in the area. We had a really wonderful time staying here and would absolutely stay here again if we return to the area!

Krysa V. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! It was peaceful, relaxing, and the perfect place to get away and unwind. The property was beautiful, and we especially loved the land and the pond. Being able to fish, sit back, and enjoy the quiet was exactly what we needed. The cabin itself was spotless and comfortable, with everything we needed. We also loved that it felt secluded and peaceful while still being close to everything. It truly was the best of both worlds! The host was also wonderful, very responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with, which made our stay even better. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommend this beautiful cabin for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Stacey C. Snickers Ridge Lodge,

Ryan’s place was perfect for our big group. Plenty of beds and very clean. Great stay!

Mitchell B. Whiskey Ridge Lodge,

This house is great for a large family getaway. The kids had a great time in the game room and the adults had plenty of space to relax.

Louann J. Velvet Elk Lodge,

The house was great for a large group. The fun barn was a hit. Ryan responded immediately to any of our requests.

Karen B. Emerald Forest Lodge,

We took a last minute trip to Hocking and stayed at Ryan’s cabin and could not have had a better experience. Ryan was more than accommodating and very responsive. The Cabin was a great fit for our family and the kids loved the game room. Would highly recommend.

Michael S. Kodiak Lodge,

My husband and I had wonderful peaceful stay here! The cabin is beautiful and was very clean upon entering! The cabin had everything we need for our stay. We really loved the sauna!

Diamond A. Lake View Cabin,

Great location, cozy and peaceful vibes!

Jorge R. Top Tin Airstream,

This cabin was nothing short of magical. The breathtaking views, peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful setting made our stay unforgettable. It became even more special because this is where I proposed to the love of my life. ❤️💍 We’ll forever have a piece of our story tied to this incredible place. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever!

Kenneth R. Treetop View Lodge,

Very friendly host! Great location and comfortable stay!

Sarah K. Coakley Cabin,

We enjoyed our stay, the patio was our favorite hangout spot! The projector right next to the hot tub and plenty of seating for all of us! The space was perfect, everything there a family would need! This is the place to stay! You won’t regret it!

Kelley B. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

Our stay at the Lazy Bear cabin was peaceful and relaxing. The place looked just like the pictures and everything matched the description. It unfortunately rained so we didn’t get to spend much time outside; however, the back porch with the sauna and hot tub looked amazing from the glimpses we had. The driveway is a rocky uphill incline, but we had no issues making it up in a Honda Civic. Hope to be back someday!

Trent H. Lazy Bear Cabin,

Ryan was very responsive with communication. Everyone had a great stay and loved the cabin and decorations inside and out. Ample seating inside and out to accommodate guests!

Morgan C. Kodiak Lodge,

Fantastic, large property with a great game room and ideal proximity to Hocking Hills. Hosts were great and everything was as advertised.

Spencer R. Whiskey Ridge Lodge,

My friend and I loved our stay at the airstream! The hot tub was amazing and it had great views. It was our first time in this kind of air bnb so it was a little different but a great experience. Local restaurants and Hocking hills trails are just 10 minutes away! I would definitely come back.

Drue O. Top Tin Airstream,

Ryan was incredibly responsive and helpful. The house was well equipped and in a nice location. Very close to Logan and about a 15-20 minute drive to all the parks and trails. We would recommend staying here to anyone coming to the Hocking Hills area

Travis B. Lake View Cabin,

Good place, nice relaxing spot, can’t beat it

Clinton L. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

Very clean, cozy, and awesome decor.

Courtney H. Glass City BNB: Lancaster,

We had a wonderful time on our family vaca! The cabin had lots of space for 6 adults, a child, toddler, baby & dog. The hot tub and games in the basement were a hit. Close to where we needed to go and secluded enough to feel far out. There were many handy kitchenware utensils and bathroom necessities. The yard was perfect and backs up to a pasture. The wrap around deck was also a hit. There was an awesome heat lightening/thunderstorm 1 night and we were all captivated by how much we could see! The other night we were star gazing and counting shooting stars. Highly recommend. Everything was very clean and put together! 10/10!

Elizabeth S. Treetop View Lodge,

The place was perfect to get away and be secluded from a busy life. It was perfect for our 17 year old. When they say stocked pond, they meant it!

Chris M. Snickers Ridge Lodge,

Beautiful place, very helpful and commutative host!

Aasia L. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

The house is really nice and we loved the style and comfort! We were visiting local family and hosted everyone for hamburgers and then we enjoyed the game room a lot! Ryan is a great host and we will definitely stay again if it works out.

Kirsten J. Glass City BNB: Lancaster,

My partner and I had a great stay, very convenient for the activities we had planned. Nice and private space. We loved our stay! Would recommend for couples. :)

Kylei W. Top Tin Airstream,

Hello, What a great

Salman S. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

Highly recommend

Kanishk K. Autumn Leaf Lodge,

Cabin and property are one of a kind. From the huge bear in living room, to the massive wrap around porch which is perfect for corn hole on them rainy days. then wind down the night in the hot tub. Relaxation at its finest. Family was sad to leave and can't wait to come back. Ryan was a absolute pleasure to have as a host. Informative and lightning fast responses on the simplest things. If you love nature and serenity, this is the place for you. And to top it all off, you're minutes away from some of the best rock formations imaginable. Thanks again Ryan

Michael L. Kodiak Lodge,

This place was absolutely incredible! The house was spotless upon arrival. We spent a lot of time enjoying the pool, outdoor amenities and the huge covered porch. Lots of comfortable furniture throughout. Highly recommend!!!

Shannon C. Hocking Hills Social Club,

What an amazing peaceful, beautiful, property. From the time you pull in the driveway to the walk through the front door you feel the charm. I have stayed at a lot of Airbnb’s and this one is my favorite. I stayed a week and that wasn’t long enough. The host is amazing. Always checking in to see if I needed anything. I will definitely be back real soon

Ed M. Snickers Ridge Lodge,

Was a great place to stay! Hocking Hills State Park and Logan are not far drives at all. Would stay here again.

Jordan J. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

Great cabin! Right when we opened the door we were greeted by a charming, clean and welcoming home. We had plenty of space for sleeping, and everything was very comfortable and clean. The amenities in the cabin were excellent. We enjoyed the fire pit, projector on the porch, hot tub etc.. This cabin added a lot to our vacation, we would definitely stay here again next time we visit Hocking Hills!

Michael W. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

We loved our stay at this adorable cabin up in the woods. It was so cozy, quiet and private. The sauna and hot tub were welcome at the end of our hiking days, and we used the grill for dinner. Highly recommend for a quiet escape for two.

Andrea C. Lake View Cabin,

The place was lovely. There was enough room for the whole gang and always something to do. Everyone loved the hottub, we had a movie night, enjoyed smores at the firepit, the pool table was always in use and we could take a break in our rooms when we needed some space from everybody lol. Ryan is a great and responsive host, I would absolutely recommend a stay for your group at The Velvet Elk!

Chad L. Velvet Elk Lodge,

I’ve never been to an Airbnb that provided so many items including coffee, TP, paper towels, dish soap/tabs, laundry detergent, trash bags, sunscreen, bug spray and more! We also appreciated the quantity of towels! The decor was so bold and fun! So many bedrooms! The entertainment area was top notch and definitely stood out from the rest. I mean cmon…they even had a full set up karaoke machine and skee ball! Cherished family memories were made in the evenings after many daytime hikes (all within 15 minutes).

Jennifer K. Whiskey Ridge Lodge,

This was our 3rd year visiting Hocking Hills, and we thoroughly enjoyed this property. The home was just like the pictures and very cozy. Beautiful surroundings and felt very private. There were storms our first full day and we lost power. Ryan was very responsive and even offered to get us pizza. We would definitely stay here again!

Amberly R. Autumn Leaf Lodge,

The house was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed the game room and hot tub. The record player was a nice touch, and we were happy to be able to make basic meals for our family in the well-stocked kitchen. The decor was fun without any clutter, and the hosts thought of small details: there were fans in every room, several hot beverage options, and throw blankets aplenty. From hiking at Hocking Hills to checking out the restaurants (we especially liked Cheery Street Pub, the ale house, and custard from Whit's) and attractions (the glass museum and Decorative Arts Center were great), everything was just a short drive away. Thanks for a great stay!
