Secluded mountain view cabin near Hocking hills


Escape to this modern mountain cabin, surrounded by sweeping mountains filled with natural light , wrapped in stunning peak views and sunlight through a gorgeous wall of windows. Enjoy crackling nights by the fire pit, movie-style evenings in the home theater, and pure relaxation in the outdoor hot tub beneath the stars -all while being just minutes from town conveniences with smooth, easy road access.


Nestled among towering pine and oak trees, this stunning mountain retreat offers breathtaking views of the surrounding range through a wall of windows — providing an unobstructed panorama of nature’s beauty.

With over 4,000 sq. ft. of living space, there’s room for everyone to relax and unwind. Enjoy movie nights in the dedicated theater, challenge friends in the game room, or simply lounge by the wet bar.

Families with children will love the kids’ room featuring three bunk beds, perfect for sleepovers and laughter-filled nights. After a day of adventure, unwind in the hot tub, fire up the grill, or gather around one of two firepits for cozy evenings under the stars.

The first firepit, located under a covered gazebo, can be enjoyed rain or shine. For a truly scenic experience, take a short 100-ft hike uphill to the second firepit, where you can share stories and create lifelong memories surrounded by mountain views.

Just 5 minutes away, Strouds Run State Park offers endless outdoor activities — boating, swimming, fishing, or hiking along its beautiful 10-mile lakeview trail.

The house was located on a beautiful property just north of Athens and comfortably fit our family, but there were significant cleanliness problems in the kitchen. We advised the owners so they could take care of it - which they said they would do after we left - but it did impact our use of the kitchen.

Great stay for a big family! Plenty of room to spread out. Dining room was perfect for board games. The pool table and movie room were great ‘getaways’ for the kids without disturbing others upstairs. The lake is only a few minutes away and we loved the kayaking and beach. We will be back
