I was lucky enough to stay in a cottage here and fell in love with it the second I opened my front door. It was small but had everything I needed for a short stay. The food at the on-site restaurant Kindred Spirits was phenomenal and I highly recommend a stay here, whether you book a luxury cottage, cabin or yurt.

One big plus of staying here is that a complimentary breakfast at Kindred Spirit is included in your stay, a special experience. The restaurant is housed in an 1840s log cabin and a delicious hot breakfast is cooked to order. Menu items include house-made granola, fresh fruit, smoothie bowls, omelets and pancakes.

Consider These Things When Searching Hocking Hills Cabins for 2

You want to make the most of your vacation so think about what amenities you really want. Or maybe don’t want – perhaps you want to disconnect and would not have a TV or Wi-Fi.

Here are some questions to ask yourself.

• Do you need a fully equipped kitchen?

Are you planning on eating most meals in? When I travel I generally want to eat breakfast in our accommodations as I enjoy a leisurely start to the day. I also must have coffee immediately upon waking! Think about whether you need a fully equipped kitchen or a kitchenette.

Some companies offer grocery delivery to your cabin for a small fee. You’ll be stocked for your stay without having to spend precious time grocery shopping. Just open your fridge and you’ll find your milk, eggs and even that chocolate mint ice cream waiting for you.

• Would you like a pool or hot tub?

How I love lounging in a hot tub with an adult beverage any time of year. It’s especially wonderful when it’s chilly outside. Many of the cabins in Hocking Hills have private hot tubs.

Some of the rental companies have properties with pools for the entire community. At least one of the cabins listed below has a seasonal private pool.

• Is the cabin pet-friendly?

Being a dog can be stressful, right? Take your dog along on your Hocking Hills getaway.

Is your four-legged companion joining you on the trip? No worries ­­– there are plenty of pet-friendly cabins to rent with an additional fee for bringing your pet.

• Is it fully accessible for people who have trouble walking or use a wheelchair?

Many of the companies offer cabins that are fully accessible. Some offer a way to find these on the websites and for others you may need to call to inquire.

• Does it offer privacy?

Do you mind being in a row with other cabins or do you prefer being off by yourself without another cabin in site? We once booked a cabin in a state park that had a view of the parking lot and was practically on top of other cabins – hardly the romantic getaway we had planned.

In this case, an unfortunate mishap was a blessing. I showered the first morning and the cabin flooded due to a backed up drain. The staff came to clean it up and offered to move us or give us a refund. We grabbed the refund and fled!

If you can’t tell from the photos and description whether the cabin is secluded, call the owners and ask.

• Does it have a fireplace?

Having a fireplace tops my list when I’m looking for cabin rentals. Gas fireplaces will do but there’s nothing like a wood-burning fireplace. You’ll find several of both in these listings.

One of the saddest days of my husband’s life was when we moved into our current home and had to give up our wood-burning fireplace for a gas one. He is still in mourning and it’s been almost six years.

• Is there wifi available?

Maybe you need a full escape and hope there is no wifi. If you’ve been to the Hocking Hills region then you know cell reception can be spotty. If you rent a cabin with no wifi you’re pretty much cut off. Which may be exactly what you’re looking for.

My husband and I both start the day by reading newspapers on our iPads, so we really want to have wifi available. We stayed in the cutest barrel cabins in a state park in Georgia one time that had no wifi.

We discovered that if we crossed the street and walked halfway up the hill towards the main lodge we could get some coverage. So each morning, we looked like crazy people walking up the hill, standing there long enough to download our newspapers then walking back.

• Can I find discounts for cabins?

Looking to save money on your Hocking Hills cabins for 2? Be sure to check for the specials pages, promo codes, AAA and military discounts. You can also find some specials on the Facebook pages of the rental companies.

The Travel 100 participates in affiliate programs with various companies. We may earn a commission when you click on or make purchases via links. We only recommend places where we have stayed or believe our readers would enjoy.
