We value biodiversity, including the honey bee hive within the tree near Pollinator Tiny Cabin.

If you have an allergy to bees, please be prepared in the event that you may come in contact with them. These bees have not shown any aggression, but it is wise to be prepared. If there is an issue with bees, we advise you visit during the cooler months because they will be a lot less active.

Eating Out? Two miles away, in Laurelville, there are 6 family owned restaurants. The State Parks & Nature Preserves nearby are: Rockhouse, Conkles Hollow, Tar Hollow, Cantwell Cliffs, Ash Cave, Old Man's cave.

Laurelville is a small town on the western end of the Hocking Hills. It is mostly comprised of nice farmers and kind hearted hill people. The closest larger towns are Logan, Circleville, and Chillicothe.

Ravens Retreat is a 2 mile drive up off Thompson Ridge East from Laurelville. A 25 to 35 min scenic walk on the heavily wooded two lane road, if you feel like you would like to walk to town. Laurelville has several businesses. Those being the Hocking Hills Visitor Center, Laurelville Fruit Company , Salt Creek Valley Bank ( AKA Vinton County Bank), Youngs Family Market, Gas Station, Family Dollar, Whites Hardware Store, A Grain Mill, Car Wash, USPS Post Office, and 6 restaurants. Those 6 restaurants are The Ridge Inn, The Village Café, Old Town Diner, L & J's Ice Cream & Pizza, Mam's Rusted Skillet, and Laurelville Pizza. We are particularly fond of Laurelville Pizza due to the delicious vegan/plant based pizza they make upon request. Doug and Tiffany, the husband and wife combo that run Laurelville Pizza, make delicious food. We order our pizza with, or without, vegan cheese. If you have interest in the vegan cheese, we recommend calling a week ahead to give them a chance to make sure its stocked.

If you are up for checking out some local art while away from Ravens Retreat, check out The Jack Pine Studio located 6 miles/10 min drive from the property. This studio focuses on glass work and is well known for intricate glasswork and live demos.

If for some reason you are meeting a group of people in the Hocking Hills, Laurelville has a nice playground and shelter house near the family Dollar.

If you only have one day to visit a Hocking Hills State Park, check out Conkles Hollow located 11 miles/18 min drive away. If you have more time, check out Rock House located 6.5 miles/11 min away.
Guests have access to hiking all of our 58 acres, and all the land around The Pollinator site.

Friendly reminder, we do not allow fishing, swimming, or hunting on the property.

While you are here, we want you to feel completely welcomed and free to explore around the property while doing your best to leave the smallest footprint possible. The Whippoorwill birds here lay eggs on the ground without a nest so please watch your steps on the ground. We would like for you to stick to traveling on trails when at all possible.
Ravens Retreat is in the Hocking Hills a little under 2 miles up a heavily wooded two lane road called Thompson Ridge Rd, just East of Laurelville Ohio. About a quarter mile down our driveway are two parking spots on the left side designated for Pollinator guests. Parking is always free.

Splendid Sanctuary of Stillness

Raven's Retreat encapsulated all that my partner and I were hoping to experience in our getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city streets. We felt safe and secluded in our beautiful cabin and enjoyed the variety of amenities the grounds had to offer. We hope to be back sooner than later!

Take a Step Away from it All

The perfect destination for anyone looking for a more primitive and simple accommodation that still offers the basics like electricity and heat. We very much enjoyed the entertainment state and the options to enjoy a movie night. The electric fireplace is a nice touch and i really appreciated the four gallons of filtered water for cooking and drinking. Soft ver and blankets made for a cozy atmosphere.

Little getaway

I stayed at the pollinator cabin with my boyfriend for a little birthday getaway. The views from the cabin were stunning and the cabin itself was a cute little place with the necessities we needed for a short stay. I enjoyed the hot tub and walking trails and despite not having service or Wi-Fi we didn’t really feel the need to check our phones once. I would definitely recommend this cabin and would return again.

Loved Tiny Pollinator

We were only there for two nights, but loved both and also enjoyed some discussions w Dustin, co-owner w Raven. They have put a lot of detailed attention to the place and it was everything they described. It was quite private, which we desired, actually has windows w screens that open to the breezes, and we highly recommend this cabin. Lake Logan and Hocking Hills State Park are both nearby. Good food found in Laurelville center.

AN UN-BEE-LIEVABLE BEE-UTIFUL TIME

Me and girlfriend chose this location for our anniversary and we couldnt have decided on a better place to spend our time! The vibes were immaculate and our host were just as wonderful as our stay. The Pollinator tiny electric home was super clean, very crafty architecture and a minimalistic design that helps you appreciate the term "less is more"The perfect little place to spend pur anniversary. We listened to the beautiful uninterrupted sounds of nature right outside our door and gawked at the natural beauty of the property from the side of our bed. We walked the trails on the property and were completly blown away by the well carved out paths that led to the fitness area and meditation area! We enjoyed looking/listening to the bees in the beehive right outside the window! They never bothered us and kept us intrigued throughout our stay. We dipped our toes in the hot tub, rinsed our bodies in the outside shower and melted our problems away in the outside sauna while overlooking a beautiful little dropoff. Me and my girlfriend spent hours listening to records on the record player and damcing our little hearts away! It honstly felt like a movie there. Our host were more than accommodating when it came to ensuring we had a great time and wonderful experience. Dustin and Raven are some of the most wholesome people that I've ever met and I learned a lot from the hours I spent talking with them. I drank springwater, had edible plant life right from the property and shared laughs.

Lovely and quiet

The tiny home was wonderful! It was quiet and serene and beautiful all around. The large windows were perfect to view the pond and surrounding area. It was very close to the Rock House. Because it was rainy and hot that is all the hiking I did but loved it. The Pollinator had everything we needed!! Thank you for having such a beautiful place to share with others. Almost forgot - I loved the hot tub area with lights and screen above. :) I would recommend this property to others for sure!!

Amazing slice of heaven

From the time of booking Raven and Dustin were beyond amazing hosts. From the small attention to detail, helpful tips, suggestions and property itself- WOW! Best experience we have had by far. This property exceeded my expectations and just what hubs and I needed to reconnect and enjoy nature. Close to trails, local restaurants... just perfect! I highly recommend and will definitely be back!! Thank you both for making our 20th anniversary the best!! 💕

About the host

Hosted by Raven Morgan and Dustin Weatherby

Host profile image
We are Raven and Dustin. We met at Buckeye MMA, which was a combat sports gym in Columbus Ohio, back in 2008. We were married in 2013. Both of us were training, fulltime, in various martial arts for competitions. It was our lifestyle for many years. We now work as two artists and incorporate many of those Functional Movements into our everyday lives. Dustin is an Eastern Michigan University Sculpture graduate that started a sculpture business, entitled Sculptdecor, in 2014. He leads all of our projects with his 20 plus years of experience. Dustin's Sculptdecor shop is located here on the property. He is always fabricating. His projects range from custom wood/ice/pumpkin carvings, metal sculptures, fiberglass works, and other mixed media. Dustin is also a special effects artist that has been involved with the creation of over 60 haunted houses worldwide, and the building/design of over 100 animatronics.
I, Raven, assist Dustin with projects and have a history of working in the medical field. I also have experience working as a Vet Tech/Veterinary Nurse in animal agriculture and animal research. I currently work as a Dental Hygienist, EFDA, and Sleep Coordinator in Dentistry.
Prior to college at OSU, I had a scholarship to art school for my portrait work. I declined due to learning many artists work in restaurants, rather than creating art to make a living.
These days we enjoy connecting with other life forms, from humans to insects, on a journey to make this world a better place through compassion, self realization, functional fitness, and eating more Vegan/PLANT derived foods. We often forage for wild edible plants here at Raven's Retreat.
We meditate often, and encourage others to practice as well. We study daily upon ways to improve the world around us by use of small manageable steps we make in our own lifestyle. Having been lifestyle coaches for years, we have learned that adaptation and an open mind is often one key factor to human health.

Why they chose this property

This is a secluded and protected property we treasure for it's serenity. We are working with environmental specialists to improve this 58 acres, here in the Hocking Hills of Ohio, by creating more biodiversity, protecting our water quality, protecting our wetlands, and prepping the soil for more pollinator friendly areas. Raven's Retreat is made up of art inspired dwellings and a primitive campsite. There are wildlife viewing stations on the property where guests can appreciate critters from a distance. We strive to make our spaces peaceful by use of natural materials, custom art, and our practices such as low light pollution, and avoidance of an overstimulated human mind. When you are here, on the high point of the property known as the ridge or deep in the valley, there is a strong sense of tranquility. Many people say when they are here, they feel like they are in Tennessee or West Virginia. Over time, we are installing functional fitness stations, meditation stations, pollinator sites within the forest, and wild edible food education stations to help people educate themselves on the importance of maintaining biodiversity. It is so important to us that we help others connect with nature so they may discover their true purpose, health, and decompress without being overstimulated. Happiness is a state of mind that can often be found with a change in perception, under the right conditions, that were strive to create here at Raven's Retreat. As health coaches we feel so lucky to be able to help create this experience for guests!
