- The space -
Set back from the road on 40 wooded acres, The Bushby feels like its own private world. The gravel drive winds through the trees before opening up to the cabin, and from the moment you step out of the car, the pace changes. Kids take off toward the trailhead. Someone claims a spot on the deck. By the second night, everyone's orbit has settled around the fire pit.
We gave the whole cabin a fresh start: new kitchen, new flooring throughout, all new furniture, an updated upstairs bathroom, and new lighting and plumbing fixtures. It still feels like a cabin - real wood, real quiet, real trees - just one that's been cared for and updated inside.

Our family loved this cabin. Everything was clean, and the property is very well kept with so many new amenities. The layout of the cabin is great, and if you’re bringing other family members or friends, it’s nice that the downstairs is its own suite. The beds and couches are super comfortable.The kids loved the hot tub, and our dog loved being able to hike the trails right on the property. Great stay!

We appreciate the kind words Brian, happy you had such a good time!
Great clean house. Close to hocking hills trails. We loved the hot tub and the hammock chairs on the deck. It was peaceful during the week and nice and dark to see lots of stars! Beds were comfortable. Huge table to eat and play games at.

Sounds like a great time Angela, can’t wait to have you back!
Wonderful way to ring in the new year! This cabin is so cute and cozy! The hot tub is really nice and the fire place was amazing. We got lucky and it snowed a couple of days while we were there, truly was a relaxing trip.
We had a really nice time at the cabin. From the private hiking to the hot soak in the tub the family (even the dog) has a nice relaxing few days. Everyone was sad to leave. We will definitely be back again!

Thanks so much Aubrey! Glad to hear you all had a great time at the cabin.
Our family enjoyed our stay at your home. Home was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the board games provided for family game nights. The hot tub was wonderful to get in early in the morning and listen to the wildlife in the woods.

Hey Chris, sounds like you all had a very relaxing time. We're really glad to hear and hope to have you all back again soon!
Stayed 3 nights at this property & we loved it. We really appreciated the cold AC because it was 100 degrees the days we stayed. Cabin had all the modern amenities with a rustic feel. Close to Hocking hills state park. We loved the hot tub at night & the firepit area by the barn. Deck with hammock off the master bedroom was awesome. Would definitely recommend this place!
This cabin is beautiful, perfect spot for my friends and I to hang out, have a fire and relax. Close to hiking trails and the acres in the back were fun to hike. I loved the setup of the cabin, having the “bar”/fireplace away from the house where we can walk too. Overall great experience- Thanks Pat and Chelsea!!!

Thanks Grace, happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us!
The Bushby was perfect!! The place had everything we needed & it was immaculately clean. It has an inviting & welcoming feel. We were allowed to bring our dogs & the Bushby was very accommodating. The property has all the hiking we wanted. The hot tub felt so good after a day of hiking & outdoor activity. We would give it more than 5 stars if we could, thank you for having us stay at your awesome place.

We appreciate the kind words, George! happy you had such a good time!
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Bushby House! It was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing Memorial Day weekend.We especially enjoyed the trails on the property which we hiked every day with our pup. The fire pit and the hot tub were also a treat.We also loved the app, so handy and helpful! We listened to their playlist and even visited the natural spring that they mentioned. It was great to have all of that information readily available. We would definitely recommend the Bushby House for guests that are looking for a little luxury but also some peace and quiet!
Place is nice. Snow storm came during our stay, we were told the driveway would be plowed prior to our 10am departure but it wasn't. Made for a tricky way down the hill. I would have left the day before the snow came but i was told the driveway would be plowed.
Great location, super comfy - but you NEED a 4-wheel drive vehicle to get to it
We stayed for 4 nights in mid-July, and we had a great experience.
There was only 3 of us, but more could fit you there is a nice amount of space.
The kitchen was well equipped, and the basics needed for cooking and coffee was better than a few other properties we have stayed at.
It's was nice and isolated, you will not be bothered by any sort of neighbor.
The drive is bumpy, and would absolutely be more than a challenge if you drive anything other than a 4-wheel drive truck or SUV.

Thanks Aleesha, happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us!
The location was fine but the neighborhood is not so inviting. The lighting in the cabin is very dull, especially in kitchen and the upstairs bathroom. The deer flies were terrible and made it difficult to be in the hot tub or outside. We were killing them with our shirts just so the kids could be in the hot tub.

Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location
Accused of breaking the grill, and using charcoal, we absolutely did not do this!!

Hi Dixie, our family works very hard to care for these cabins and ensure each guest has a great experience, so it’s unfortunate to see this review given the circumstances. We wish you all the best in your future travels.
About the host
Hosted by The Retreats Hocking Hills
- About Your Hosts - We're Pat & Chelsea - a husband and wife team behind Hocking Cabin Co. (formerly The Retreats Hocking Hills). We started this business to provide for our young family and to build something we're proud to pass down one day. Every cabin is personally cared for, thoughtfully designed, and rooted in our belief that hospitality should feel human. We're not a big corporate management company, and our properties don't feel that way. We love creating welcoming, high-end stays that feel like home - and we hope every guest leaves feeling like family.
Thank you for considering The Bushby. We'd be honored to host you.
Why they chose this property
Most Hocking Hills cabins give you a hot tub or a view. The Bushby gives you 40 acres to yourself, 5 miles of trails you won't share with another group, and a cabin that was just fully renovated - new kitchen, new floors, new furniture, an updated bathroom, and new fixtures throughout. It works whether you're a couple looking for a quiet weekend, a family that needs the kids to burn off energy on the trails, or a group of friends who just want a fire pit and no schedule. Step inside and the open living area flows straight into the kitchen and dining space, so nobody's stuck cooking alone.
What makes this property unique
- WHAT SETS THE BUSHBY APART - ・40 fully private acres - not a shared or overlooked lot ・5 miles of hiking trails that are exclusively yours for the stay ・A hot tub AND a wood-burning fireplace AND a basement wood stove - built for every season ・Just renovated: new kitchen, flooring, furniture & fixtures throughout ・A private barn hangout with games and a second fire pit, away from the main cabin ・2 king beds upstairs - great for multiple couples traveling together
