About this property
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 bed and twin bed; and the lower level offers a twin-over-full bunk bed and a sleeper sofa, along with a second cozy living space.
The main living area features vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and an open layout that flows into a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The lower level also includes a wet bar and mini fridge. Wi-Fi is available throughout the cabin.
Step outside to enjoy the 6-person hot tub on the upper deck overlooking the wooded hillside. A 4-burner Blackstone griddle and outdoor fire ring make it easy to enjoy meals and relax outdoors.
Need-to-Know Info:
The cabin is located on a gravel road that is slightly steep, bumpy, and winding but manageable for most vehicles. During winter weather, AWD or 4WD may be helpful. Snow removal is professionally handled as needed.
The cabin uses well water. It is safe to drink, but guests who are sensitive to taste may prefer bottled water. A refrigerator filtration system is also available.
Cell service is generally good for AT&T and T-Mobile, and fair for Verizon, though occasional dropped calls can occur.
Less than 5 minutes from Wayne National Forest and about 20 minutes from Old Man’s Cave and the Hocking Hills trail system, Cardinal Cabin offers a great balance of convenience and a quiet wooded setting.

We stayed 2 nights and really enjoyed the cabin- hot tub, giant jenga, hammock chairs and fire pit. Would definitely stay here again and explore the area more.

Thank you so much for the great review! We’re glad you enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and some of the fun extras like the giant Jenga and hammock chairs — those are always a hit.
Each season out here offers something a little different, so it’s a fun place to come back and experience again. We’d love to host you anytime! 😊
We stayed for 3 nights with the intention of day hiking and then resting in the evening. The cabin had the accommodations necessary for our family. It was clean, check-in was easy, and the owner was quick to respond. We really enjoyed our stay!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you were able to enjoy the hot tub and get a game of cornhole in — not always easy to do in March! The hot tub is definitely a favorite, and we’re happy to offer a premium Jacuzzi hot tub here at Cardinal. I appreciate you staying with us and would love to host you again anytime!

Directions were great! Host gave very prompt responses before and during our stay. The cabin was very tidy. Be sure to bring mixing bowls and baking pans, if needed. Great water pressure in showers and plenty of hot water!

Thank you for the thoughtful review! I’m glad the directions, communication, and water pressure all helped make for a comfortable stay. We do keep baking sheets and mixing bowls in the kitchen, but sometimes items can be easy to miss depending on what guests are preparing. I appreciate the feedback and will double-check the kitchen inventory. Thanks again for staying with us, you’re welcome back anytime!

We enjoyed the hot tub, Blackstone, and hiking trails on site! Great cabin away from the city! Short drive to the state park. Cabin had everything we needed and more!

Thanks so much, Christina! I’m glad you enjoyed the hot tub, Blackstone, and the hiking trails right there on the property. It’s definitely a great escape from the city, and the short drive to the state park makes it perfect for adventure days. You’re welcome back anytime!
Very clean and peaceful cabin in a quiet location. Owner responded promptly to any questions we had during our stay and about the area. The long stone road over hills to get there was a little tricky to navigate if not an experienced driver.

Thanks so much, Marlo — we really appreciate your kind words and are so glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet! You're right, the stone road can be a little tricky the first time, especially with the hills. That’s actually why I made a short YouTube video showing the full drive in, so guests can see exactly what to expect. It’s linked in the check-in message, and I always recommend watching it before arrival just to make that first trip a breeze. Thanks again for staying with us — you were great guests!
Hi Linda,
Thank you for your wonderful review! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and accommodations for your sibling vacation. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again for your next trip!
Best regards,

There were 5 of us who stayed at the property. It was perfect for our first time in Hocking Hills. We were close to hiking, zip lines, tubing, and the winery. It was just what we were looking for!

Thanks, Kelly! So glad the cabin was perfect for your first Hocking Hills trip and that you got to enjoy all the nearby fun like hiking, zip lining, tubing, and the winery. Would love to have you all back anytime!
Everything was great except we got the wrong password for the wi-fi. The host gave us the updated password and the cabin was spotless. Great relaxing stay! Will book again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Cardinal cabin. It had everything we wanted for our trip. The hot tub and fire pit were great and the beds were comfy. Thanks for a great place to stay!!
Had a fun stay with some friends and explored and hiked a lot The area and the cabin was beautiful and very calming. The caves were a cool site to see! Wish the cabin had Wi-Fi though and some signal but other than that it was nice.
