Hocking Hills Serenity Cabins

This was my second time in Hocking Hills with my fiancée — the first was for a romantic getaway and the second, at Serenity Cabins, was for our joint Bachelor/​Bachelorette party.
Rocky View Lodge was the perfect size for our 10 bridal party guests and we we’re 100% happy with everything about the cabin. As with most Hocking Hills Cabins, the entrance driveways are steep and you may almost die driving up unless you’re in a Ford F-​150. But once you make it up, it’s absolutely beautiful! Rocky view was nestled right in the woods on top of a hill and was serene and beautiful. When we arrived, the cabin was very clean and hella spacious — perfect for our gathering. There’s a total of five bedrooms that are all very nice, albeit… creaky. The kitchen is open to the living room which makes a great entertaining space amongst friends. There are plenty of cooking utensils and everything is modern and nice. Downstairs is a really awesome ‘guy spot’ with a pool table and bar, which made for a lot of fun. The deck patio area is HUGE and comes with plenty of tables, chairs, a nice grill, and a clean hot tub, which was definitely appreciated. about 20 feet up a short path is a secluded and super cute bonfire pit area — perfect for S’mores.
We had such a fun Bach’ Cabin weekend here and all our guests enjoyed Rocky View Lodge — It’s clean, new, rustic, secluded and seriously so spacious. You’ll love it.

Looking for a romantic cabin in Hocking Hills doesn’t seem like it would be that tough. But trust me, it is. There are tons of search results that pop up, mostly pointing towards ones that didn’t meet my requirements, or that were way over-​priced for a couple of nights in a sub-​par cabin.
That’s when you need to turn to Unilocal.After almost a week of searching the web, it hit me. So, I did a search for «romantic cabins» in Logan, OH and wouldn’t you know it – I had several viable options from trusted Unilocal friends. Duh.
We settled on staying in a Serenity Cabin for these reasons:
— It wasn’t over-​priced for what it was: a cabin. Too many places in Hocking Hills charge out the butt for a stay in a dingy-​ass cabin just because of the location. NOPE.
— New construction, updated interiors and CLEAN. A lot of HH cabins seem nice online, then you get there and you’d rather sleep outdoors.
— Hot tub, secluded, full kitchen, fire-​pit. BOOM.
We stayed for two nights in the Piccolo cabin and our expectations were surpassed. The cabin was spotless and updated. It was a tiny space, but furnished in a way that utilized it all in the best way. The bed was cozy and the back porch with the secluded, private (and clean) tub was awesome. Everything was provided, we just had to bring toiletries and clothes. There was firewood, charcoal and utensils for the nice grill, outdoor furniture for dining al fresco and sitting by the fire. It was perfect.
Why I would recommend staying with Serenity:
1) Their prices are significantly cheaper than other crappier cabins mostly because they’re just outside of the Hocking Hills area. I had no problem with this.
2) Seclusion
3) Clean and updated
4) And most importantly, I planned and executed my entire trip without having to speak to a human. I reserved online, got an email with day of entry instructions. The key was in a lockbox with a code. When we left we just cleaned up and popped the key back in the box. So, so easy.
Some things I think they could do better…
— Although these are some of the cheaper cabins in the area, I still think the Piccolo (smallest cabin) could have a more competitive price. Because it’s labeled «romantic» and not just «small» they charge as much as some of the larger cabins, which I think is stupid. Small doesn’t always = romantic and that label shouldn’t warrant a pricier stay.
— Tip envelope for the clean up. You’re required to clean up after yourself and clean any dishes you made dirty. I did A LOT of clean up on my vacation because of their rules. And the tip envelope just left a bad taste in my mouth.
— The website said they had a DVD player, but it was actually Blu-​Ray as well. It would have been nice to know since we would have brought some blu-​rays.
TIPS:
* You may notice on their website and on some reviews that folks recommend driving a 4-​wheel drive vehicle to the cabin. I would just straight up require this. The larger cabin next to us had a Mercedes and I have no idea how they 1) made it up the steep hill and 2) didn’t destroy their car with gravel trying. Summer months you might get lucky, otherwise do not attempt it with anything other than a 4-​wheel drive car or truck. When I say it was a steep gravel hill, that’s an understatement.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Owl’s Nest in Secluded Sanctuaries and I must say, we were extremely impressed by everything in this cabin. Alan made our stay very welcoming and made it clear that he was there for anything we needed during our stay. We decided to take a couple days off work and go down to southern Ohio for a little «family vacation» with our puppy, and enjoy the hiking trails and meadows that I’ve heard nothing but great things about.
It definitely lived up to our standards. and more.
We had a beautiful meadow directly behind our cabin that we explored with our dog the first night we got there, and everything you hear about the hiking trails are true (if you hear good things, that is). If you enjoy real hiking and exploring the real backwoods, this is the place to do it. The hikes were intense, exciting, and not to mention, beautiful. The caves, waterfalls, everything was breathtaking. We’re hikers, including our dog, and this was the perfect place to get away for us.
The cabin was so well stocked with essentials, also a grill and a hot tub to make it perfect for a relaxing night in after we got home after our days out hiking. Everything about the cabin was perfect for a relaxing getaway for the family.
I don’t recommend GPS however, in those back roads, a GPS won’t help you. But, that’s not necessarily a bad thing…
Be sure to check out the stars at night time! Especially if you’re from the city and rarely get to see them, like us!

Perfect! Absolutely perfect for a little romantic getaway. My boyfriend apparently called ahead and had them do some cute things to the place (as seen in pictures). This quaint cabin had everything we needed. A full kitchen for cooking healthy dinners, a little TV for our movies, a hot tub for late night relaxing, a grill, and a beautiful balcony to look out over the trees. It was a short drive to all the Hocking Hills attractions and a grocery store. Overall, it had everything we needed. The cabin we had was set pretty far back in the woods so we had a good amount of privacy from the others. You get all this for a reasonable price! Go for it!
