Welcome to the Cozy Cardinal Cottage! It’s heaven in the holler! Our quaint country cottage exudes woodsy charm! Tranquility awaits on a quiet dead-end street just 40 minutes from Columbus and five minutes from the antique mall, coffee shop, put-put golf and more at Route 33 and 374. Our little cottage is a short drive to the quieter, but just as breathtaking Hocking Hills attractions. We are just two miles from Cantwell Cliffs and 8 miles from Rock House. Old Man's cave is about 16 miles away.

We are also very close to the miles and miles of beautiful hiking trails at Clear Creek Metro Park and the Rockbridge Nature Preserve. The “rock bridge” is truly a natural marvel!

Our adorable cottage is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day hiking and exploring the beautiful Hocking Hills Region and is an ideal couples getaway. While it is perfect for a couple or two friends, it does accommodate 4 guests over 13 years of age for a cozy stay. There are two bedrooms. One is a small bedroom with a queen bed, and the other is larger with a king bed.

The beautifully updated kitchen is well equipped for your basic cooking needs with a 20" gas range, fridge, farmhouse sink, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker and more. Please note we are on a sensitive septic system and do not have a garbage disposal or a dishwasher.

The main living area is quite cozy featuring a stone wall with an electric fireplace. The home is equipped with wireless internet and two smart TVs (one in the living room and one in the master bedroom) for you to use your streaming subscription services. We also have a good selection of board games if you need to really unplug. ;)

We have an outdoor fire pit area. There are also a selection of yard games in the shed (corn hole, axe throwing, bocce) and a comfy hammock.

The home is equipped with Ring doorbells on the front and rear doors. There is also a security camera on the driveway and a wildlife cameras on the side recording motion, audio and video 24/7 for the protection of our home. If tampered with, guest will be asked to vacate the property without refund of stay.

Please Note: You are renting a cabin in the hill country which means you may encounter wildlife. Please be aware of your surroundings, and take caution while driving at night. You may also encounter the various insects and pests that live in the country and very occasionally do make their way inside. The cottage utilizes pest control services on a regular basis, but this does not guarantee no pests or bugs will ever be visible.
