About this property

Incredible secluded cabin featuring amazing forest views off of the back deck!

Welcome to one of the most well-stocked cabins in the Hocking Hills, where you can enjoy seclusion and tranquility in a spotlessly clean cabin nestled on a 42-acre ridgetop surrounded by epic forest scenery! This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin boasts a walkout basement, two amazing decks, and a fully-equipped kitchen that will make your travels stress-free.

As you approach the cabin from below, following an old logging road through the woods, you'll be greeted by an excellent seating space on the front deck. This is a great spot to get acquainted with the property before entering the cabin, where you'll find a charming open-concept living room, a well-appointed kitchen, and a cozy dining area.


The wall coverings were milled from local salvaged timber, giving the cabin a unique character. The rich Red Oak floors were also sourced from the area.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all the supplies you need, including coffee, olive oil, salt and pepper, paper towels, cookware, plates, bowls, utensils, and more. You can grill out on the large grill or use the full-size range to whip up a delicious meal.

The living area features ample seating around a beautiful gas fireplace, which provides great ambiance and radiant heat with the flick of a switch!

On the same floor, you’ll find two spacious yet cozy bedrooms, both featuring large windows with queen-sized luxury memory foam mattresses, located on the same floor as a lovely full bathroom.

Step out onto the elevated back deck and relax with tranquil views of the forest below. The ceiling fans on both decks make them great outdoor living spaces that stay comfortable even on the hottest days!


Heading downstairs to the walkout basement, you'll find a spacious rec room with a big-screen Roku smart TV. YouTube TV is available for your enjoyment, and you're welcome to log in to your own streaming services as well.

Two more bedrooms with forest views are down the hall, one with a queen bed and the other with a full/twin bunk bed - ideal for larger groups or kids!

The back porch provides additional outdoor space and is a nice quiet nook to relax and enjoy the sounds and sights of the forest while working the grill. When the sun sets, head around back and enjoy the night while sitting around the fire pit with your group.

The property itself is 42 acres and is yours to explore! There are a few old logging roads that are great for hiking, but keep in mind that they aren't currently maintained, so long pants are highly recommended. While there is one other cabin (listing #7713482) within eyeshot on the property, it is 500+ feet away, so you're about as secluded as it gets!

Although the cabin is secluded, it's less than 25 minutes from Hocking Hills State Park, which offers a range of outdoor activities for visitors. Tar Hollow is also nearby and has a public swimming lake.

The last mile of the road is gravel, but it's worth it! Standard sedans are usually fine as long as you drive slowly and strategically. Sporty low-clearance vehicles should be avoided. All-wheel drive is recommended in the winter months in case there is snow on the ground.

The internet is completely free of charge and is a high-speed low latency Starlink connection, making it easy to stream video or do video calling.

We keep our base rate on the low end and charge additional guest fees based on the number in your group. There are no guest fees for the first two guests. Please be honest about the number in your group, as we reserve the right to retain the damage deposit if we find that more beds and/or towels were used than the number of guests specified.


We also highly recommend that you purchase your own travel insurance in case of the need to cancel due to a positive COVID case in your group.

Finally, please take note that we are not responsible for items left behind. Any items that are requested to be mailed back will cost a $100 fee plus the cost of shipping.

Hunting is only allowed if both cabins on the property are rented at the same time (#7713482 and #1781220). A $250/day fee applies.

We look forward to having you stay with us and hope you enjoy your time in the Hocking Hills!

Senior spring break vacation!

Gregg and Marianne were amazing hosts! Their property was neat and clean and a perfect retreat! We loved the escape of the go go city life. We loved the rolling tree tops and being so excluded. The cabin was warm and relaxing. Beds were comfy after a long day at the hocking hills trails.the hot tub was nice to relax in! Highly recommend this beautiful cabin! Added plus is that we were able to take our two small dogs along with us! Thank you again for letting us enjoy your cabin! God bless you guys!

Fun Getaway

The cabin was very clean and relaxing for the week. The only disappointing thing was they didn't have the bathrooms supplied with shampoo and body wash, while there were cleaning supplies for everything else (hand, dishes, and washer).

Cozy cabin and AMAZING OWNER!!!

I recently stayed at Red Oak Retreats cabin, and it was an outstanding experience. The cabin itself was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The surrounding scenery was stunning, especially with the fresh snowfall.Greg, the host, went above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort. During a winter storm that brought almost a foot of snow, he was incredibly helpful in making sure we could safely get out of the path. His dedication and assistance during the storm were truly appreciated. I highly recommend Red Oak Retreats and commend Greg for his extraordinary hospitality.

Definitely Secluded!

Beautiful surroundings!! Our only issues were not enough seating for the number of people you advertise to stay, plenty of places to sleep, but not enough for the 6 of us to sit together. It was fine if we didn't want to be together in the same room. Also, not enough lighting over the sink & hot tub. A sting of lights like on the deck would be great for over the hot tub.

Secluded and Chill

It was a relaxing stay. Property is hidden away from everything but we only had to drive 30 minutes if we needed to get supplies. Pups loved the space. The only thing I wish they had was thicker blankets for the cool nights and maybe some lights around the hot tub area. Other then that it was amazing.

A piece of heaven

The cabin was absolutely beautiful. The outdoors was scenic with fall colors. The fire pit, trails, and hot tub were great for relaxing. We enjoyed are stay and will be back. The only thing I would add is a light above the kitchen sink, and by the hot tub.

Girls Getaway!

8 of us visited the cabin just this weekend. We brought our food and drink and had a wonderful time! Big tables to play games and sit together for meals. Cabin is clean and beautiful. We had plenty of towels and the beds were comfy. We enjoyed the use of the hot tub and built a nice campfire! This was the most beautiful time to visit the Hocking area....the changing of the leaves is a sight to be seen.

2024 family vacay

The area and property are beautiful. There were no closets or dressers making clothing organization a challenge. Firepit and hot tub were wonderful. Kitchen was well appointed but consumables did not accompdate 8 people. 8 is the max i would have here. I would recommend this property but recommend getting a clearer set of directions if you are not from the area.

Enjoyed our stay! Cabin provided all the comforts of home in a secluded wooded setting. Enjoyed the large back porch to relax and overlook the scenic property. Access to the cabin can get dicey based on weather conditions, but definitely worth the drive. Pay attention to the host’s directions!

Why they chose this property

Our cabin on the ridge is the perfect getaway for a variety of groups. With ample covered outdoor space featuring two massive decks with the back looking out over the forest below. Two great ceiling fans are there to help keep you cool on those hot days and keeping you dry on rainy ones.

The walkout lower level is perfect for a group to enjoy their evenings with TV, games and more! Or, cozy up in the sitting area by the automatic gas fireplace located upstairs.

The property itself offers 42 acres that is shared with just one other small cottage. Feel free to explore the property using the old abandoned logging roads that run through it!

What makes this property unique

Our cottage on the ridge features privacy and seclusion that is hard to beat while still being less than 15 minutes to the nearest grocery store and less than 25 minutes to Hocking Hills State Park. Tar Hollow, a hidden gem with lots of beautiful hiking and a public swimming lake is less than 10 minutes away. You won't want to leave!
