About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Hillside Retreat-Hot Tub · Game Room · Sleeps 12 - 4BD/5BA - 2 min to Rock House

Looking for a place where everyone — the teens, the couples, the hikers, and the ones who just want to sit by a fire — actually has a great time?

Hillside Retreat is a spacious, upscale 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom home tucked into the wooded hills of Laurelville — right in the heart of Hocking Hills. Thoughtfully designed for groups of up to 12, it gives everyone room to gather and room to disappear. The result? Real memories, zero friction.

WHAT YOU'RE WALKING INTO

The moment you pull up (and you can bring up to 6 vehicles), the stress of the drive is already fading. Step inside and you'll find an open-concept main floor built around a massive kitchen and a dining table that fits all 12 of you. The gas fireplace is lit, the hot tub is hot, and someone's already claimed the one of the sectionals.

* Hot Tub — Top-rated by guests. Soak under Ohio stars after a day on the trails.
* Game Room (New for 2026) — Pool table, ping pong, cornhole. Enough said.
* Gas Fireplace + Fire Pit — Two ways to end a perfect evening.
* Chef's Kitchen — Fully stocked. Pots, pans, plates, prep tools — everything for real meals.
* Two Living Areas + Loft — The football crew doesn't have to fight the card players. Everyone wins.
* 65"/55" Roku TVs throughout — Easy guest-mode login. No fumbling with passwords.
* High-Speed WiFi — For those who need it and those who forget to use it.
* Gas Grill — Because someone always wants to grill.

THE BEDROOMS

Four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a half bath. No waiting. No sharing. No drama.

The King Suite — King bed, private sitting room with full-size sleeper sofa (sleeps 4), en-suite bathroom with soaking tub. The obvious choice for whoever planned the trip.
Dueling Queens — Two queen beds, walk-in closet, private vanity with sink. Ideal for sharing without actually sharing.
The Queen — One queen bed, walk-in closet. Quiet and cozy.
The Twins — Two twin beds. Perfect for the kids or the lightest packers.

Every room comes stocked with extra blankets, hangers, box fans, and space heaters — because we've thought about it.

A DAY AT HILLSIDE RETREAT

Wake up to nothing but trees and birdsong. Make breakfast in a kitchen that can actually handle it. Hit the trails. Come home to the hot tub, the game room, and a fire pit that's just waiting for someone to start a s'more argument. Fall asleep in a real bed with real linens.

Wake & Repeat until your heart is content!

We had a wonderful stay at Hillside retreat! The home is big with plenty of rooms and bathrooms to accommodate everyone. The home owner was very responsive, when we had a question and the home is well appointed with everything you need for cooking meals in. We would book this property again.

Perfect location and setting for a family gathering and weekend of relaxation. There was six of us along with our dogs and there was plenty of space to move around. This place had so many things to do to keep everyone occupied (pool table, hot tub, fire pit, etc.). The kitchen was open and spacious and they had a dining room table that goes on for miles. We loved that this place was minutes from Rock House and Conkles Hollow hiking areas. We appreciated all the amenities and communication with the host was easy.

A family place for all ages

Finally, a place that is the perfect size for our whole family and close to all the trail heads. There was plenty of space for everyone to have their own corner and yet the spaces were big enough everyone could fit in one room. I thought it would be a hassle to get to town but the Logan Walmart was only like 15 minutes away when we needed it.

Beautiful property, close to everything, will stay again

Stay was amazing. Hidden gem is exactly what we were looking for, with games, movies, hot tubbing and a great kitchen for cooking, it was hard to pull ourselves away to go to Jack Pine and Rock House, even just a few minutes away. Very cozy, with a sign saying the hosts were adding on to the game room. Can't wait to see it next time we stay here. Couldn't be happier.

Great stay

Justin and Kristin were great hosts - we had everything we needed. We setup camp and everyone had plenty of space to spread out and relax. The beds were super comfortable, not sure what mattresses they were but we slept great. There was so much space to kick back, relax and entertain. We cooked everyone a huge meal in the big kitchen and all ate together. Already planning the next trip.

This stay was amazing, the owners maintain it and you can really tell they care about making it a comfortable stay. Additionally they care about their guests, when I arrived there was a sentimental welcome letter for my group. If I had any questions, Justin replied within minutes.It was clean, stocked full of supplies to use to include cleaning supplies, towels, kitchen pots/pans/silverware.Very spacious, plenty of beds and couches so bringing a big family or group of friends is possible.Overall I do not think me nor my friends could find something to complain about even if we attempted to.

Great Get Away Spots

We had an amazing stay at this property! There was plenty of space for our whole group, making it easy for family and friends to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Whether it was movie time, playing games, or challenging each other at the pool table, everyone found something fun to do together.Our dog absolutely loved hiking the nearby trails with us, and the location made it easy to explore the beautiful outdoors. After long days of riding the scenic roads on motorcycles or hiking, the hot tub set at a perfect 80 degrees was just what we needed to unwind and soak in the views. It was also great that it was set to a timer to turn on the heat for a relaxing late-night dip before heading to bed.This place truly had something for everyone, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Exceptional House in Hocking Hills

Our stay at Hillside Retreat was nothing short of amazing! This beautiful property became our home away from home during our time in Hocking Hills. The peace, quiet, and tranquility were exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway.The house itself is incredibly spacious, impeccably maintained, and immaculately clean. The beds were all super comfy. The kitchen is well-equipped kitchen and provided everything we needed for meals.We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of entertainment options available. The pool table and foosball were big hits, and the hot tub was the perfect spot to unwind.Overall, Hillside Retreat exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a place to stay in Hocking Hills!
