We have stayed here many times and always look forward to our return trip. The scenery is so peaceful and the staff is more like family. The food really sets this place apart from anywhere else. The cheese ball to the wonderful meals to the peanut butter cookies!!! We have stayed in the Inn, the cabins and the cottages. All our fantastic, depending on what you are looking for. If you stay here, be prepared for a truly wonderful getaway!

We had a wonderful January weekend stay at The Inn. All of the food was amazing, but the friendly staff set our experience here apart from other getaways. We were made to feel very comfortable during check-in, at meals, or when we were wandering around the property.
We took advantage of the spa getting a couple's massage. This was a new experience for us and seemed a little pricey, but we don't have anything to compare this to.
This was the state park's winter hike weekend and aside from muddy trails (what else would you expect on a 50 degree January day?), the scenery was terrific.

We're already planning a return visit!

My husband and I came to Hocking Hills for the winter hike which was a great event. We picked this inn because of its location to the hike and it was in the "Select Registry--Distinguished Inns of North America" book. We stayed in the "Inn" which was really just a newer barn with 9 bedrooms and a common living space. When I made reservations I had to book for 2 nights because it was on a weekend. We only wanted to stay one night but that was not an option. If it was high season I would understand this, but it was the middle of Jan. and the place was sparcely occupied and we were paying $225.50 each night. The hostess didn't take us to the room. She just took me to the back of the office/gift shop and pointed up the hill to the inn. (She was also the gift shop clerk so I guess she couldn't leave.) No one offered to help us with our luggage from the car to the inn up a steep hill. We are not helpless but all other 5 Select Registry Inns we have stayed at offered assistance to and from our room when checking in and out. The hostess seemed to be more worried about us parking in front of the office to check in and unload than welcoming us as new visitors. The parking lot across the street from the office was extremely muddy and slippery. It could use some gravel or blacktop. The sink in the room which was out in the open with the bed did not offer much privacy. I missed having ice located in the same building. There was no phone in the room in case of emergency or to call the front desk to ask questions. We did not come to watch t.v. but a dvd player and t.v. to relax and watch a movie after hiking all day would have been nice. There was only one comfortable chair in the room to use while reading. One of us had to sit on the bed. Water in the frig and fresh fruit and granola bars would have been a nice touch like the other S.R. Inns do. The best part of our two day stay was the included delicious breakfast each morning and the young ladies who waited on us. This place just doesn't compare with what we have experienced with other high quality inns. The next time we will try another place since there are so many options near Hocking Hills.

I dream of when I can return to this bit of paradise. We have visited regularly for 7 or 8 years. We leave the children with a babysitter and slip away to a refuge of peace and pampering. The cottages provide privacy, charm, and quietness! Without electronic distractions, my husband and I reconnect over a delicious gourmet dinner and then retreat to our own little spot in the woods. No need for us to look further, this is our favorite getaway.
