About this property

Secluded Cabin in Hocking Hills on 97 acres

Our spacious, secluded cabin sits on an exclusive 96 acre forest in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. Although private, this cabin is just minutes from all the best attractions of the Hocking Hills State Park. Serenity Lodge sits on two levels and features a giant main room with a soaring ceiling. With no neighbors in sight, you’ll have undisturbed hiking trails, ponds, streams and landscapes to explore. The house is full of cozy, handmade furniture, and features a hot tub, game room and more!

THE SPACE:
Our charming cabin has a rustic feel with modern amenities. Serenity Lodge is pet-friendly and perfect for large families to spend quality time and make everlasting memories.

-Watch a movie or satellite TV by the wood-burning fireplace
-Take a dip in the hot tub on the walkout basement deck with a peaceful view
-Fire up the charcoal grill or fully stocked kitchen for a homemade meal
-Use our complimentary Wi-Fi
-Relax with a glass of wine or cocktail on two covered porches and deck
-Roast hot dogs and marshmallows under the stars by the cozy fire pit
-Play games with our pool table, ping-pong table and corn hole boards, as well as a Wii gaming system
-Rock on the porch swing, enjoy your morning coffee and watch the abundant wildlife

Serenity Lodge is dedicated to cleanliness and providing the most comfortable stay for our guests. We employ local professional cleaners who understand that our guests want to immediately relax and make themselves at home in a spotless, inviting environment.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
We are located in New Plymouth. We are close to Ash Cave, Old Man’s Cave, Cedar Falls, Lake Hope, Zaleski State Forest and many other attractions. There are places to zip line, ride ATV’s, ride horses, shop, dine or have a drink. You can look for adventure in the Hocking Hills or just relax and enjoy the slow pace and solitude. With no city lights nearby, you will love the abundance of stars on a clear night. Athens is 23 miles away if you want a bunch of good dining and entertainment options. But local places like the Inn at Cedar Falls, the lodge at Lake Hope (Sunday brunch is outstanding) or Mama Renie’s in McArthur are also great places to eat.

GETTING AROUND:
Although you’ll have a hidden paradise to yourself, you can quickly access some of the best hikes in Hocking Hills State Park to see caves, waterfalls and creeks:

Ash Cave: 10 mins
Cedar Falls: 14 mins
Old Man’s Cave: 18 mins
Whispering Cave: 18 mins
Lake Hope: 19 mins
Rose Lake: 21 mins
Conkle’s Hollow: 22 mins


OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
You will probably want to bring bottled water with you if well water is not to your taste. Also, cell service is poor in the hills, which may be a feature for you. But if you need to make calls you can call your provider ahead of time to set up free WiFi calling. This way you can make your call through the WiFi connection instead of the tower. The cabin is cooled by window a/c units.

***Minimum Age 25: All reservations must be booked by and accompanied by an adult who is 25 years of age or older. Valid photo I.D. will be required at the time of booking.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS:
We are available through VRBO or by phone, but live a couple of hours away. However, if you have an emergency our friendly local caretaker may be able to help.

Tranquility Treasure

If your career and life are as stressful and hectic as mine, then I highly recommend treating yourself to some legitimate downtime at Serenity Lodge. The cabin and surrounding property are everything you could hope for when staying in the Hocking Hills. With comforts and conveniences throughout, the only sounds we heard during our stay were falling leaves and some wildlife scurrying through the trees. This was our fourth time staying at Serenity Lodge and each time working with the owner (Dana) has been a joy. If you're seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, then this is definitely the place for you.

The cabin was beautiful and very clean! The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment. (Wish the grill was a bit bigger) Beds were very comfortable! Everyone enjoyed the hot tub and game room.

Great Family Get Away

Property is exactly as listed. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions and offer suggestions. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool table, and the hiking nearby. It was very humid and a bit buggy when we visited so we didn't explore the property much. We did cook and grill during our visit and the kitchen is well stocked and everything works as expected. The house has plenty of room to spread out and we enjoyed our long weekend!

Perfect spot

Beautiful property! The cabin was decorated beautifully, rooms were perfect size for our family. Lots of room to spread out. Large main living room area. Downstairs was great, the game room was spot on and the hot tub was great! Absolutely immaculate condition! The cabin was spotless. 15 minutes to all the Hocking Hills attractions and 15 minutes to the dining and shopping areas we visited. Would definitely recommend and will absolutely be renting this cabin again.

Perfect Getaway

We came down to hike for the kids Spring Break and my wife’s 40th birthday. The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed. We had some rain on the last day and didn’t make it out to the trails. Fortunately this property has a ton of trails for you to explore when you’re just trying to get out while you can in between rain showers. I give it an A+ and would love to visit again. Thanks!

Great family stay & our dog was in heaven

We stayed here three nights the week of Dec 18. Perfect NON-busy time to hike the trails. The property is fantastic. It was a but muddy because of the weather so we didn't get to explore it as much as we wanted (because we didn't want to bathe the dog) but we could see a lot of great trails on site. Cabin is really close & an easy drive to Hocking Hills St Park but it also feels secluded in a nice way. Like others have said, wifi is satellite so its a bit slow but you can still use your apps, but streaming will buffer. So download stuff in advance (esp for little kids). Just make sure you google map everything before you leave because unless youre in McArthur or Logan the signal is very weak, even in the park and you can't google map. The cabin itself is way more grand and lovely than it photographs. We all went "whoa" when we entered. The christmas decor was a lovely touch and everything was clean and smelled lovely. We loved the ping pong and the pool table. We chose to eat all our meals at the cabin and didn't have any issues making or serving food. (It's only table salt and pepper there so if you prefer to cook, bring seasoning and cooking oil, else you can make do with what they have. I made a frittata, they even had cheese knives for my charcuterie board. The owners are nice enough to leave little envelopes filled with nearby restaurants and things to do and were helpful and responsive. Would definitely go back. Loved our getaway. Our dog was crazy happy.

Nieces Trip

My sister-in-law, 4 nieces, and I stayed here for the first of what I hope will be many girls' trips. This cabin set the bar high. The cabin was beautiful. It was very clean, comfortable, stocked with all the necessities, and had endless entertainment options. We spent most of our time enjoying the cabin and the property. Will definitely stay again!

Serenity Found

This was our second time staying at Serenity Lodge and we're already looking forward to our third visit. The cabin is loaded with comforts and conveniences, while providing absolute peace, quiet and privacy. There are plenty of activites and adventures just a short drive away, but in reality, we didn't need to leave the property to enjoy hiking and taking in views of various forms of wildlife. The hot tub, pool table and ping pong table provided fun during the rain we experienced and the satelite TV service allowed us enjoy movies and football games without interruption. Even the Wifi was sufficient to enable us to have connectivity when we needed it. This was quite a luxury in such a remote setting. And finally, working with Dana has always been amazingly positive. Her kindness, care and responsivness helps make staying at Serenity Lodge as memorable as possible.

Secluded, Beautiful cabin

Emaculate cabin tucked away on a beautiful property! This cabin has lots of rustic character! We appreciated the fully stocked kitchen. Everyone enjoyed all of the property amenities, especially the hot tub, fire pit, and pool table! There’s lots of outdoor space and furniture to relax on and enjoy the scenery. Having 3 bathrooms stocked with plenty of towels was so convenient. Dana is an excellent host and responded quickly to our messages. Do yourself and your family a favor and book this exceptional get away retreat!
