Bonita Blu at Hocking Hills Retreat! Pickleball, Basketball, Arcade, & Putt Putt

Hi! I’m Wendy. I love being a host in my beautiful hometown city of Columbus, Ohio! My passions are traveling, dancing, watching sports, and making joyful moments with my family and friends. The main reason my husband James and I started this business together was so we could provide a great experience for guests to make beautiful memories of their own. We LOVE to travel and we hope you do too!

As physical and mental health advocates, we understand research that states positive memory retrieval reduces stress levels and calms physiological stress responses. So get out and explore life with each other in our fun and comfortably curated properties and locals! We take pride in our city and would like people from all over the world to enjoy it as much as we do. When we’re not tending to other philanthropic or entrepreneurial pursuits, we are learning, loving, and growing with our three children, and our Australian Labradoodle.

Please make yourself at home at any of properties in the area whether you are looking to experience the lively atmosphere of Short North condo life near OSU, downtown Columbus, and the Arena District; a single-family neighborhood home with hot tub near highways; fun, water, and sun (or snow) at our waterfront lake house on Buckeye Lake; or Bonita Blu, our recreation retreat in the majestic Hocking Hills of Ohio.

Our detailed guidebooks are loaded with restaurants, bars, and things to do in the area, but don’t hesitate to reach out for any local recommendations. Start building your beautiful memories today! Go Buckeyes...and Go Bobcats!

Hocking Hills is true majestic joy with its rolling hills, astonishing caves, and relaxing waterfalls. Just an hour or two outside of major cities in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, Hocking Hills receives visitors from all around the country. It's about an hour from Columbus which makes it the perfect playground for Central Ohioans. There is so much to do in the area outside of hiking, including ziplining, horseback riding, ATVs, kayaking, boating, fishing and many more. There is a $5 movie theater, wineries, breweries, and many local restaurants and ice cream shops.

This is the perfect spot for retreats, family getaways, friend's get-togethers and more. For us being in Logan and the center of the Hocking Hills region was a no brainer.

Bonita Blu is a recreation resort. This means there is so much to do that you really won't need to leave the property except for your excursions.

We have included a regulation pickleball/half basketball Versacourt which is easy on your joints. We call it the "Legends Only Court" as the design was built with inspiration from the G.O.A.T., whomever that is for you.

The 9-hole putt putt course was our last addition. We couldn't decide on a putting green or this. We figured guests of all ages would enjoy the putt putt better than a green. We also included the lawn games of giant connect four, and everyone's favorite, cornhole.

Rounding out the expansive 5 acre property back yard is a swimming pool, 7-person hot tub, lounging deck with grill and loungers, a fire pit area, sectional conversational seating area, and dining table with seating for 10.

Inside the uniqueness continues in our basement billiards and bar room, movie corner, and arcade game loft.

We would consider Bonita Blu to be in the top 1% of properties in Hocking Hills.
