Spacious Log Cabin with Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Large Decks & Wood Fireplace

Welcome to Cardinal Cabin – a peaceful, three-story retreat tucked into the woods, offering comfort, seclusion, and easy access to both Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest.

With two full bathrooms and three separate sleeping areas, the cabin is ideal for families or small groups. The main floor includes a private queen bedroom; the open loft features a king-size bed and twin bed; and the newly finished basement offers a bunk bed (twin over full) and a sleeper sofa, along with a second cozy living space.

The main living area includes vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and an open layout leading into a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The lower level also features a wet bar and mini fridge. Wi-Fi is available throughout the cabin, making it easy to stay connected if needed.

Step outside to enjoy the 6-person hot tub on the upper deck, overlooking a private, wooded hillside. A 4-burner Blackstone griddle and outdoor fire ring make it easy to enjoy meals and evenings outdoors.

Need-to-Know Info:

The cabin is located on a gravel road that's a little bumpy and slightly steep in spots, but it’s well-traveled and manageable for most vehicles. During winter weather, AWD or 4WD might be helpful, though professional snow removal is provided.

The cabin uses well water. It’s safe to drink, but if you’re sensitive to the taste, you may want to bring bottled water. A refrigerator filtration system is also in place.

Cell service is generally good for AT&T and T-Mobile, and fair for Verizon, though occasional dropped calls can occur in the area.

Less than 5 minutes from parts of Wayne National Forest, and just 20 minutes from Old Man’s Cave and the Hocking Hills trail system, Cardinal Cabin offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and modern comfort.

Pet Policy: Up to 2 dogs allowed (some restrictions may apply). A $100 pet fee applies. No charge for service animals with valid documentation.

We loved the cabin and the whole area. We will be coming back soon :)

The whole cabin was nice and definitely needed the relaxation with the fire and the hot tub. We enjoyed grilling out in the morning and evening as well. Old man’s cave is close by and it was also so much fun to visit. Definitely recommend.

We just popped down from columbus for a little weekend stay. The fireplace and hot tub were amazing and kept us cozy all weekend. We went out for a hike at Conkles Hollow, but mostly stayed inside. Perfect stay!

Great Location, Great Accomodations

This is the second time that we have stayed in the Cardinal Cabin, and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. The location is very accessible to Hocking Hills trails and to Columbus, if that is where you are coming from. The cabin is spacious and well furnished. Overall, we love this cabin and location and will likely stay there again.
