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

Ryan’s cabin was just the retreat my family needed. Secluded, relaxing, peaceful, and exceptionally clean. We did not have to worry about anything during our stay. He even helped us find a restaurant our first night when we didn’t know where to go. Ryan is a responsive and kind host. We’d love to come back and stay anytime.

Codey B. Romantic Log Cabin in the woods:Hot Tub, Fireplace,

we really enjoyed our stay at Ryan’s airstream! we were there for 2 nights celebrating my birthday— we loved soaking in the huuuuge hot tub after a long day kayaking and hiking ☺️ super cute space, you can tell they put a lot of thought into all of the details. the bed was extremely comfortable (especially by airbnb standards). would definitely stay again!

Bethany A. Top Tin Airstream,

Great stay! The place was perfect for what I needed. It had everything I could’ve asked for, was clean and well decorated, and felt very comfortable. The sauna, fire pit, and hot tub were all top notch and really made the stay special. Would definitely stay here again!

Justin C. Lake View Cabin,

Exactly what I needed. You can’t see another home from this one. Just a cabin in the woods. Peace and quiet, nice hot tub, stylish decor, well appointed kitchen, nice TV, gas logs. Just a solid “cabin in the woods” get away. Book it!

Clifton C. Romantic Log Cabin in the woods:Hot Tub, Fireplace,

Our family had such a lovely time at the cabin! Everything was great. The cabin was very clean! I didn’t see any spiders or even spiderwebs outside on the deck. We loved the hot tub and projector to watch movies on. It was the perfect spot to relax after hiking. Amazing hosts!

Olivia H. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

Adorable stay for our family with two teen daughters. We enjoyed movies on the patio and s’mores at night. The hot tub was a hit as well. Thanks for a great stay! Jodi

Jodi D. Romantic Secluded Log Cabin: Hot Tub, Movies,

This was the perfect spot for us. We wanted a secluded area but not far from hiking, shops, restaurants etc. place looked just like the photos. Loved it. Will definitely come back

Johnny G. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

This is an adorable, cozy little cabin that has everything you need. The hot tub and Sauna were perfect on the back deck over looking the woods. I greatly appreciated all of the amenities. We didn't have to pack anything besides our clothes. Walmart and Kroger are close so we grabbed some food to cook on the grill, which worked out nicely. The one thing I will add, because if I didn't read other reviews I would have never known and I almost brought the wrong vehicle, which could have been a disaster, is that the driveway is very steep and hard to climb. I would definitely recommend an AWD vehicle, if you have one, we would have not have made it up the driveway without it.

Brandy Jo A. Lake View Cabin,

We had a lovely stay at Ryan's place. The house was well situated, quiet, and private, lending to a peaceful atmosphere for a relaxed getaway. The location is close to a gas station as well as 10-15 minutes drive to many of the popular hiking spots within Hocking Hills, which we enjoyed! The house was gorgeously furnished - each room featured a modern, elevated eclectic design and thoughtfulness and comfort was something that we appreciated throughout our stay. There is ample space with the upper and lower levels as well as the balcony to sprawl out and enjoy the house. We also enjoyed the fire pit in the evening and the hot tub was welcome after hike days! The spacious kitchen and social spaces were welcome to our group of 9 and the rooms were comfortable. Ryan was a remarkable host. He was highly responsive to needs and questions, proactively checked in with the group during our stay, and his very prompt reply time was appreciated. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you!

Alexsandra S. Whiskey Ridge Lodge,

Very accommodating host, quick to respond. The cabin has great amenities, pool was excellent.

Mariam M. Hocking Hills Social Club,

Wonderful place, great hot tub, excellent sauna - all perfect after a day spent hiking! Ryan was super responsive and the cabin was cute and comfy.

Joshua E. Lazy Bear Cabin,

Perfecta mini escapada familiar a Hocking Hills! Fuimos 8 adultos más niñas pequeñas y un perrito a celebrar mi cumpleaños 28. Todos la pasamos increíble! Las niñas amaron la piscina y los juegos, los adultos disfrutamos de karaoke en la terraza, la grill, la cancha de basketball/pickleball, ping pong, etc. En el basement hay 3 habitaciones (1 de dos camas) y un baño. En el primer piso hay 2 baños y 1 habitación. Luego hay "dos segundos pisos": hay una escalera normal que llega a 2 habitaciones, luego volviendo al primer piso hay una escalera caracol para subir y hay dos habitaciones más (una con 2 bunk beds) y un baño conectado a esa habitación. En general la estadía fue muy buena y el precio vale totalmente todo lo que ofrece! Esperamos volver en otra oportunidad con mi familia ☺️

Javiera L. Hocking Hills Social Club,

Great place nd I'll go again

Salim M. Glass City BNB: Lancaster,

This place was so unique. Very eclectic in the best way. My favorite part was the size of their tables. You can fit everyone in the same room at the same table. It’s awesome. I’ve stayed in a lot of cabins and lodges in the hocking hills. Most of them have a list of rules 2 miles long and fees for EVERYTHING. This lodge was the opposite. What you see is what you get. No hidden fees and the lodge is even better in person. We would definitely stay again.

Courtney W. Hocking Hills Social Club,

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! It was perfectly secluded, immersed in the woods with beautiful surroundings, and had everything we needed for a great long weekend! Would love to come back, the place was so comfortable, cute and cozy. The host was very responsive and willing to accommodate any requests we had as well!

Katie Z. Romantic Log Cabin in the woods:Hot Tub, Fireplace,

Wonderful place in a great location. Host was very responsive and helpful. Definitely would stay here again.

Chelsea S. Lake View Cabin,

Great stay! We spent one night here the day after our wedding in Columbus. It was the perfect, peaceful getaway to help us decompress after the festivities. The cabin was clean and relaxing. The sauna was great! Also we could see the stars and the full moon from the hut tub!

Megan G. Lake View Cabin,

The cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway; the cabin is very clean and is adorably decorated! It's great for a small family- we loved the movie projector and the little reading nook; the only thing we would have done differently is check in during the day time vs. evening because it is pitch black and it is hard to see on some of the roads/surrounding area, so just be careful if you arrive at night! Overall it was a great weekend and we'd definitely stay there again!

Christine M. Romantic Secluded Log Cabin: Hot Tub, Movies,

We loved all of the activities here. The kids had so much fun doing karaoke. If we’re ever in the area again we would book this home again.

Natali P. Glass City BNB: Lancaster,

Lovely weekend! Cozy cabin with lots of of space. Kids loved the game room! Master bedroom suite a real plus! Ryan was super accommodating.

Helen A. Treetop View Lodge,

Great place and the pond is very much stocked. We caught more than 20 in an hour.

Josh C. Snickers Ridge Lodge,

Ryan was super helpful and proactively communicated. He was also very quick to respond to questions. The place was exactly what we were looking for! Private yet close enough to drive ~20 mins to enjoy Hocking Hills!

Bryan B. Treetop View Lodge,

Great home, with a lot to do! The host was extremely helpful and the house was very clean. We had a group of 13 and there was plenty of space!

Tom G. Hocking Hills Social Club,

Amazing time staying here! host responds so quickly and is so helpful. it fit exactly what we were looking for! it was so fun and relaxing, and had so many things to do. everyone left saying we needed to come back yearly because of how awesome the place was!

Sabrina E. Whiskey Ridge Lodge,

Great stay, everything was clean and just as described. Even had a nice suprise of firewood being there!

Brandon A. Lake View Cabin,

We had a wonderful long weekend, enjoyed the quiet area and the hot tub. Close proximity to all the Hocking Hills hiking trails and Logan. Would definitely stay here again.

Julia M. Autumn Leaf Lodge,

This Airstream is a unique stay in a beautiful part of Ohio! We appreciated Ryan’s organized recommendations (we loved the apple cider from Laurelville Fruit Farm). The Airstream is a tight squeeze ;) and it could use some updates. Overall, we had a fun weekend amongst nature!

Olivia T. Top Tin Airstream,

Great place. Very private. Ideal for a getaway in the woods. Just make sure you take Conrad to get there (a paved road). Waze can send you to an unpaved, impassible without 4WD road.

Chris W. Romantic Log Cabin in the woods:Hot Tub, Fireplace,

Great place to stay. Ryan was very responsive to communication.

Angela G. Glass City BNB: Lancaster,

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was spacious, clean, and had good wifi. We also enjoyed the privacy of the property and having the large fishing pond to ourselves. The location was convenient for short trips to town or just a little bit further to the numerous hiking trails. The host was friendly and responsive.

Jared M. Snickers Ridge Lodge,

We can't say enough great things!!! We came for 7 days, did a lot of trails at Hocking Hills, ate at several restaurants that were dog friendly which was amazing as well. The entire place was amazing and we can't wait to come back again!!!

Alexis F. Lake View Cabin,

Our trip didn’t go as planned, but Ryan was extremely helpful in accommodating changes and helping us sort out some issues. If you’re looking for an Airbnb with a helpful host, this is the one. I haven’t had a better host, even among the chaos that no one could control. Thank you Ryan!

Maggie O. Top Tin Airstream,

Ryan was a great host, very communicative and available for questions. Instructions for check in were sent well in advance. The home was clean, remote and relaxing.

Stacy E. Romantic Log Cabin in the woods:Hot Tub, Fireplace,

Beautiful cabin in a very secluded location. Loved the deck and amenities. Ryan was very proactive with communication and met all of our needs.

Scott F. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

Stunning! Exactly as described in the listing. Even though there are two houses nearby the property still felt secluded. Hot tub and fire pit were enjoyable. The porch is a great place to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee taking in the amazing views. Our dog loved having so much room to explore. Ryan was very quick to respond and was friendly. Check out instructions were reasonable. Would absolutely book with Ryan again. Thank you for hosting us.

Raquel S. Autumn Leaf Lodge,

🌲🔥 Such a cozy, secluded cabin tucked away in the woods! We loved the wood-burning fireplace, relaxing sauna, and incredibly comfortable bed. The cabin was spotless, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a simple dinner. We wish we had arrived earlier to enjoy the outdoor fire pit, but we were traveling from Illinois to Pittsburgh. A wonderful little getaway! We’d absolutely return when we have more time to relax and explore the hiking trails! 🏡❤️🥾

Holly S. Lazy Bear Cabin,

Ryan was an excellent communicator and a great host. The house is the perfect distance from Hocking Hills' visitor center.

Amy H. Hocking Hills Social Club,

This was one of the more peaceful AirBnB’s I’ve been too, honestly it felt like a home away from home! The view was beautiful on the way there - so scenic once we settled & could take it all in, kitchen was perfect for the amount of cooking we did & the projector & hot tub was the cherry on top! We felt welcome by the locals around town. This was a great experience for all of us, truly! The home was spotless and the he host made the space super easy to navigate! ❤️

Cierra J. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

We’ve stayed at dozens of cabins throughout Hocking Hills over the years. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but it didn’t quite live up to the 5-star experience I expected from the listing and reviews. Ryan was an exceptional host, and his communication was some of the best I’ve experienced. The speaker system is AMAZING, the sauna takes the experience to another level, and the fire pit is great. On the downside, this is probably the smallest cabin we’ve stayed in. The kitchen is minimally stocked with a very small refrigerator, no dishwasher, inexpensive kitchen items, and a charcoal grill. The hot tub was disappointing compared with others in the area, there were no extra blankets, and traffic noise from 33 is noticeable. There’s a lot to like here, and Ryan is fantastic. With a few upgrades and attention to the smaller details, this could be a much better overall experience.

Jeremy R. Lazy Bear Cabin,

Such a darling cabin! Private, peaceful, and cozy. It was the perfect quick getaway. The hot tub and sauna were a hit. Thank you to our host and their crew for providing an exceptionally clean space to retreat snd relax!

Kiersten O. Lake View Cabin,

The cabin is secluded which was my favorite part. Also, loved looking up at the stars from the hot tub.. We felt right at home. Ryan is a wonderful host and responds immediately. We will definitely be back!! Thanks again Ryan❤️ Sincerely, Stephanie, Jeremy, & Ryan Bolin

Stephanie M. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

We had the best time on our vacation for my son’s fall break from school. The house was perfect! It was very private and lots of room for our dog to explore. We caught HUGE fish in the stocked pond. Felt very at home and comfortable, didn’t want to leave! There are so many awesome restaurants very close in Logan and the drive to Hocking Hills State Park seemed to take no time traveling some beautiful back roads with the fall color really starting to pop! Highly recommend this cabin and we will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing this beautiful home!

Heather M. Snickers Ridge Lodge,

My husband and I, along with our 1 yr old Golden Retriever, just returned from a 3 night stay at Black Bear getaway. Home and property were as described in listing and had everything we needed. Loved sitting on the deck, felt kinda like being in a tree house. We weren’t able to use the fire pit due to the weather but there is a nice seating area. Living area is close quarters and the stairs to the upper bedrooms are kinda steep and narrow but we didn’t have any issues navigating. Probably the most impressive about this stay was that when we had an issue with the hot tub, Ryan responded within minutes, provided a solution and was apologetic for the inconvenience. Would recommend staying here.

Shawndel H. Black Bear Getaway Cabin,

Beautiful and perfect gateway. Hope we could’ve had stay more and next time definitely staying.

Pranim M. Top Tin Airstream,

Awesome place to stay if you’re planning to hike in Hocking Hills! Everything was super clean and the hot tub was awesome. We saw lots of wildlife (including wild turkeys and deer!) each morning. We came to the cabin with 2 little kids and we felt safe and comfortable. The beds are comfortable too. I also messaged the host with a question and he got back to me within just a couple of minutes. Very responsive and kind. Thanks for a great stay!

Krista F. Coakley Cabin,

Great place

Luke S. Top Tin Airstream,

We wanted a place for our 50th Aniversary. Kids and grandkids stayed. We had a very nice stay. We're not wealthy and family vacations are rare. The views are breathtaking. .Accommodations were very nice. My hubby James and I used to shoot pool....back in the day. We had a fire that was soothing. We had a meaningful couple of days with our children and grandchildren.

James C. Whiskey Ridge Lodge,

Ryan’s house was exactly what we needed for our girls trip. He was easy to communicate with,very kind and got back to us quickly with any questions we had. The house was beautiful as was the view outside. Very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Tammy P. Whiskey Ridge Lodge,

Such a great stay! An amazing property! The property was peaceful and secluded! We loved fishing the pond and enjoyed everything!

Jamie D. Snickers Ridge Lodge,

The space was beautiful and private, the sauna and hot tub were so relaxing. Easy access to local food and activities! Such a cute and clean place & the host was super friendly and helpful!
