Ravens Retreat Hocking Hills a little under 2 miles, East of Laurelville. Drive up a heavily wooded Thompson Ridge Road and you will see us on the South side. About a half mile down our private driveway are 12 parking spots surrounding the Art Lodge. Parking is always free.
Starlink wifi, the best coverage in the Hocking Hills, is installled. It potentially could have a pause in service but only during really heavy storms.
The black wood stove downstairs within the Art Lodge is for LOOKS ONLY; no fires are permitted within the stove.
There is one small senior dog, a jack russell terrier mix named Peanut that lives on the 58-acre preserve. If you happen to see him while staying at the Art Lodge, he may steal your heart. He is friendly with humans and knows how to charm for snacks. Big time! Peanut does not do well with other domestic animal companions, so we ask that you do not bring them to the Art Lodge. Domestic animals have caused many wildlife deaths in the past; this is an additional reason why domestic animals are not permitted on our nature preserve.
No trash, liquid chemical fire starters, or cigarette butts are allowed in the firepit. Hosts will supply Firestarter.
Keep your fires within the fire pit at all times and no higher than 2 feet.
A four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended during the snowy weather.
Exterior security cameras are in use at this property front door and near the parking area.
