About this property

Nestled in the heart of the Hocking Hills.... Hummingbird Holler

Hummingbird Holler is a 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home in a stunning 5 acre setting (no hot tub). The best part is we are close to everything. Old Man's Cave, Rockhouse, Conkle's Hollow, Cantwell Cliffs, Tar Hollow State Park, and even Grandma Faye's are all very close! Forget something? The grocery store is just up the road in Laurelville or Kroger is in Logan.

Hill Willie's Hideaways, LLC has tried to make this feel like home by providing internet (poor quality, but the only option), DirecTV in the master and living room on 50" and 65" TVs, and a land line. There is an Onkyo stereo that you can bluetooth and enjoy your own music (Just please keep it down after 10 for the neighbors). Karaoke Machine for more fun!
We have a huge kitchen with gas range, dishwasher, microwave, 2 coffee makers (Keurig w/pods and one that grinds your beans), complete dinner set and more!
Feel like grilling out? We have provided a gas grill! There is even a picnic shelter to sit and enjoy your fresh grilled goods down by the creek! Afterwards, relax by the fire and have some s'mores! We have a 7x10 concrete block patio by the fire pit!
The spacious master bedroom boasts a King size bed and two dressers. The second bedroom offers a queen, and the third has a set of bunk beds with a trundle bed. You can bring the whole family! The large dining room table seats 6 easily and we have extra chairs. We even have a washer and dryer for you to use.
Sitting on either of the two porches or inside with the windows open, you can hear the sounds of the small creek that lines the property. We added a 600lb capacity tree swing right by the creek in the big maple tree. You are free to roam the woods as the property lines are clearly marked by both driveways and flags in the woods. There is a short trail that goes up the back hill between the garage and the house and comes out by the shooting range. As time goes on, we will be expanding these hiking trails.
At the far end of the property you will find a shooting range if you want to exercise your second amendment rights. During the shut down, we built and installed a new shooting table for either right or left hand shooters at the 25 yard area. There are no plinking type targets to avoid ricochet and injuries.
We also added a 6 ft x 6ft dry wood storage rack. We will be harvesting wood from the property for you and try to keep it stocked.
In the spring and summer of 2020, we transplanted 1045 new perennial flowers and hostas around the property. We will continue to work on the property and listen to our guests. We added non-stick cookie sheets and oven pans after one suggestion. We added the tree swing after another.
Hummingbird Holler got it's name from the several seasonal hummingbirds that visit each year. We put out at least 7 feeders a year to make sure you will get to experience such a fun and interesting bird. If you see that a feeder is empty, we put more juice in the upper left cabinet.
Have kids? We have a high chair booster seat combo and an additional booster seat. Also just added just before 2020 could end, we put in a new Bryant furnace. We installed central air conditioning April 2021.
You can spot Hummingbird Holler from a good distance as we have 2 of our signature pink concrete deer marking the driveway.
In our first year of business in 2020, we decided to address the crawlspace issue and had The Basement Authority come out to make sure you are safe. Check out the picture of what is below! It is amazing!
Escape from the city and get out and take in our fresh air! We have an isolated location for you and your family on 5 acres but it feels like so much more!
In February 2023 we added a whole house backup generator!!! It has been used a lot this year so far! Don't rent a place unless it has backup power otherwise you might not have water either!
And November brought a renovated bathroom. Hopefully 2024 brings a new master bathroom!
Come on down, according to a recent review... "Best kept secret in the (Hocking) Hills.... Such a blast to poke around the vast property" October 22nd, 2023....and that's before we renovated the bathroom!!!!

Another peaceful stay

2nd time back to this property. We really enjoy the peace and quiet of the land. I enjoy the shooting range and the kids loved playing in the creek and the swings. We will likely be back in the future.

Serene stay in the woods

My dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. The house was clean, comfortable, and inviting, and the location in the woods was idyllic and serene. Be sure to take the time to sit on the swing and enjoy the sight and sound of the stream. Just be aware that Internet service in the area is spotty so have your directions printed.

A Perfect Getaway

Even though we were met with misfortune on our trip up to Hummingbird Holler, our host was super helpful and encouraging, going above and beyond what was needed of them. It was no more than 15 minutes to any of the key hiking areas of Hocking Hills and less than 10 minutes away from a few grocery/convenient stores. We will definitely be coming back.

Thanks for everything

We spent two wonderful nights in the Hocking Hills, and one bright winter day walking through four separate caves amidst snow, frozen waterfalls, and spectacular hiking. Our house was perfect and our host, Kevin, was extremely communicative and helpful in every way possible. This was a five-start experience for two couples in their 70s.

What we were looking for

Surrounded by nature without visible neighbors, it was great to sit on the porch listening to the creek running and birds chirping while we drank our coffee. Didn’t get use the fire pit but the area looked great with plenty of wood to burn.

Thanksgiving getaway

This place was perfect for our long Thanksgiving weekend. Lots of room and very clean and cozy. We had all of our food and drink and never had to leave the place. I walked the property several times with my little dog, who loved the accommodations as well. We would like to come back in slightly warmer weather to really enjoy the outdoor space. Overall a great place to relax and unwind. We will definitely be returning to Hummingbird Holler!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin A. Brown

Host profile image
Hi! We are Kevin and Lorelie, the owners of Hill Willie's Hideaways. We purchased Hummingbird Holler in June of 2019 and opened just before Christmas 2019. We have been working to improve the property ever since we bought it and will continue to try to provide the best family experience for you in a beautiful setting.

Why they chose this property

When I first looked at the property it was an obvious choice. I got out of my truck and just got a great feeling of relaxation as soon as I heard the waterfall in the distance. It was a warm June day and it was refreshing to get out of the sun and under the shade of the almost complete canopy.

What makes this property unique

We are unique because of our location! You have 5 acres to yourself and it seems like so much more. We are bordered by other owners with as little as 5 acres and as much as 40! Most properties have hills and trees. We have water too! What other property around here do you know that has a shooting range in their back yard? You want to get away? Then book today! And...we have a whole house backup generator!!!

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
