About this property

Fern Haven A modern take on Hocking Hills cabins

Escape to this brand new build - a modern cabin with everything you need for a luxurious getaway in the woods. A short 10-20 minute drive to the main Hocking Hills attractions - Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, and Old Man's Cave, this cabin is a perfect place to unwind with your loved one. Nestled on 5 acres and 1 other cabin you'll be able to enjoy trails on the property as well. This cabin was designed with modern touches and a wall of windows to bring nature to you!

Fern Haven is the perfect romantic escape and features a wall of windows that brings the outdoors inside for you to enjoy. Vaulted ceilings throughout the space and an open concept living and kitchen area are perfect for spending time together. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances help elevate the kitchen and provide everything you need to prepare a meal while you're away. Walk back into the master to find a king bed and a door with direct access to the deck with hot tub just a few feet away. The ensuite master bathroom has a double vanity and modern touches to make your experience feel crisp and clean. We think Fern Haven is perfect for a couple or small family. We have a sleeper sofa that has a pull out queen bed should you need an extra place to sleep. Enjoy the wrap around deck and the fire pit area as well as access to trails that run throughout the property. If it's rainy, enjoy the record player, books, games, puzzles, and DVD player as you relax inside.

Please be mindful as you do have a neighboring cabin nearby, Fern Woods.

A rejuvenating Honeymoon

My husband and I stayed at Fern Haven as a calm getaway after the craziness of our wedding. This place was gorgeous and intimate, all the details made it so cozy and comfortable. We loved the view of the yard through the large windows, the warm fireplace, and clean kitchen where we cooked meals together. We are already chatting about coming back and staying here again when we need a break from city life and want to spend time gazing at the stars. Kevin is a fantastic host! We had a lovely time.

Love Fern Haven

This is our second time in three years staying at Fern Haven. We love the modern simplicity yet cozy feel the cabin has to offer. The property is beautiful and we enjoyed the on-site trail. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. The surrounding area is beautiful and a scenic drive to local hiking, attractions, restaurants and shops. Fern Haven is the perfect place for a restful getaway. Looking forward to our next stay!

Cozy getaway

Cozy secluded house with all the amenities. Would recommend as the hot tub and fire pit were just what my husband and I needed as we enjoyed a quick getaway for our wedding anniversary. Also recommend the Sauna Pods at The Chalets about 20 mins away.

Great stay at Fern Haven. Loved the house and location. Far enough out that you felt the intimate seclusion but still able to get to parks and town.
