About this property

1800s Rustic Log Montana Cabin near Hocking Hills

The Montana Cabin is nestled in the rolling hills of Southeast, Ohio while still remaining close to nearby restaurants, shops, and local attractions. The cabin boasts 1 lofted bedroom, 1 bathroom, a comfortable living space, and a beautiful kitchen. Traveling is a breeze when you stay with us as the cabin is fully equipped with great amenities. Property offers an outdoor hot tub, fire pit, and great quality time. State Parks, lakes, canoe & kayaking, ziplining and so much more all located within a short distance from the property.
You will be overwhelmed by the beauty and calmness of the forest and wildlife. Explore the property or the beautiful Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest region of Southeast Ohio. Maybe you will have a serendipitous encounter with nature that you will wish to experience time after time.

Guests will follow a long gravel driveway until they find themselves in the middle of the forest where they are welcomed to a beautiful, rustic 1800s log cabin with a wrap around porch. Upon entering the Montana Cabin, guests will feel an instant sense of charm, comfort, and peace.

The Montana Cabin was completely restored using reclaimed barn doors and patchwork quilt hardwood flooring that came from old churches, schoolhouses, and other older homes in the area. The hickory kitchen cabinets are filled with all the amenities needed for our guests to enjoy a scrumptious, home-cooked meal. There is a wood burning pot bellied stove that guests can use to warm up with during winter months while snuggling on the couch. Follow the wooden staircase to the cozy lofted area with two Queen-sized beds where the floors and A-frame ceiling are covered in the beautiful, restored hardwood flooring.

Step outside each morning for a morning coffee before the birds start chirping to hear the unearthly quietness of the forest. Throughout the day, explore the unknown at the nearby State Parks. Come back to enjoy some flamed grilled food.

The wrap around porch is pure bliss. There is a small fire pit around the back where our guests can enjoy time underneath stars around a crackling, warm flame. To end each evening, guests can relax and unwind in the circular Jacuzzi that is tucked away on the corner of the wrap around porch.

Beautiful peaceful romantic getaway

Secluded but still close enough that you can drive into town for necessities. Beautiful spot in the Hocking Hills located near several parks. The hot tub is super hot and takes some getting used to so be careful. Once you're in it it's so relaxing. We did notice a slight sewer smell as others have mentioned but there were some very hard periods of rain while we were here and the smell wasn't overpowering at all. Also the little trinkets and notes left by other guests were so much fun to look at. We will definitely be back!!

Authentic log cabin in the woods.

Easy to get to and secluded. Genuinely rustic but with all necessary modern conveniences. Loved the setting. Close proximity to all things Hocking Hills. Definitely recommend.

Nice Cabin

The cabin is nice, thought there is not really any yard space. Also, the check-in and especially check-out were inconvenient because going back into Nelsonville to the store was 30 minutes out of the way for me. Upon arrival it wasn't too bad, but as I was leaving to head home, it was quite inconvenient to go the opposite direction in order to turn the key in. Also know, if you are planning on multiple people the beds are both upstairs, and they are in one big room. This didn't matter because I was alone, but from the pictures I thought it was multiple bedrooms.

Communication Needs Help

Contacted mgmt twice on some issues, was told they would be addressed and twice nothing done and no communication back that they were unable to complete, just dead silence. Love the cabin, but has mice, asked for a trap and also asked for a working mixer. Large ruts in steep driveway from recent rains, just asked them to fill in, yup nothing. Disappointed in lack of customer service :(, they were so good at calling before my stay. Great Customer goes a long way if you put a little effort into it!

Great get away!

We had a great time. The place under promised and over delivered. It is very secluded and quiet, which is hard to find! Beautiful cabin in the woods. Perfectly clean and well stocked. I will say that the mattresses could use an update. They are very very soft/worn out. But that’s the only complaint.

Enjoyed the Montana cabin.

Loved the cabin! So much character! We loved all the little notes left by others. The hot tub was very hot. There were so many flies. The furniture was comfortable. It was a relaxing get away. Could not log into WiFi. Well equipped kitchen. Nice bathroom! Gotta be careful on those stairs to the bedroom. We would definitely return!

Quiet getaway

This is a great little cabin. Quiet and comfortable. Located within 30 minutes of all the things we wanted to see and do. My only recommendation would be to move the fire pit away from the septic.
