Our stay was amazing. This place was cozy, clean and organized. We loved how everything was labeled, check-out procedures clear, and Ethan was readily available if we needed anything. The furniture was comfortable and the decorations intentional. There was plenty to do for a night in (board games, pool, bonfire, hot tub, etc). We loved our stay and will be recommending this place to anyone looking for a weekend getaway at Hocking Hills.

This place was great. The pool table was awesome. The fire pit was very enjoyable. The owners even brought us more wood to burn. The hot tub was a bonus. The place itself was very spacious. The location was great. It was close to several caves and trails. The owners were very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.

Memories were made! We didn’t need this much house, but truly enjoyed all the aspects it offered. The kitchen, the game room, the hot tub, the yard … they were all used with our grandkids on this Hocking Hills hiking trip. Kudos to the hosts for such a clean, beautiful home!

Property was very clean, cozy and well located for our needs. We were able to explore the various trails at the State Park and come back in the afternoons for relaxation in the hot tub, a game of pool or curling up on the comfy sofa with a book. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. I had a question about the hot tub and Ethan responded immediately. Would recommend to others!

About the host

Hosted by Ethan Warner

Host profile image
We’re Ethan and Sierra Warner, owners of Genesis Grove. We live just a few miles away in Amanda, Ohio, and we are so excited to host you. This is a new family venture for us, and we’re honored to share a special part of our dream with you.
The Grove Barn, formerly known as the Timberline Barn, was thoughtfully built in 2023 by the property’s former owners and lovingly operated as a wedding and event venue. When our family purchased the property in April 2025, we envisioned something more—a place where people could not only gather for special events, but also stay on-site to savor the full experience.
That vision gave rise to Grove Cottage, converted from the original private residence on the property. It’s designed to be a cozy and welcoming retreat for couples, families, and friends—whether you're here for a celebration, a quiet weekend, or simply a getaway in the countryside.

Why they chose this property

The Hocking Hills is a gorgeous location with so many natural features to explore. We have lived nearby our whole lives and hiked many of the local trails, even getting engaged at a scenic overlook right here in the Hocking Hills! We love the tranquility of the trees and fields and the peace that settles over us as we look out over the back valley of the property.

What makes this property unique

The Grove Cottage is 'home'. So many reviews have said how much they felt comfortable and welcome the minute they stepped in the door. We have tried to think of everything and we hope it shows!
