Whether you're exploring Hocking Hills, visiting Ohio University, or wanting to relax and unwind, we've got you covered.

In an effort to be as transparent as possible, please note that if you're looking for absolute, total privacy, The Raven may not be for you. You will have privacy, as the cabin is surrounded by woods and has a 300 foot treelined, gravel driveway, but during the winter months when there are no leaves on the trees, other houses are visible. The cabin is built on a hillside and any neighbors are down below.

Also, while the cabin is not built near the highway, you can see the highway during the winter months. During the summer and fall, the leaves block it from sight and filter most noise. It is "in town" in an established neighborhood of Nelsonville. Being in town allows for easy access to things like grocery stores and restaurants, but does not allow for the complete solitude that some guests desire.
During your stay at this cabin, you're just a quick walk from Wayne National Forest Athens Unit. Enjoy features like a hot tub and laundry facilities. The cabin includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned cabin with kitchen, washing machine, and patio
  • Free WiFi

The venue was exactly how it was listed. The host was really sweet and was able to support us through our stay! Would highly recommend for a family or a couples getaway! The venue was surrounded by woods and you felt like you were in your own private oasis. We enjoyed the amenities of the property and did not need to travel to enjoy our stay.

This place is beautiful! New and clean and every amenity you could think of! The outdoor jetted spa was great. It was a great place to relax and the proximity being close to town and close to hiking trails in Hocking Hills, makes it an ideal place to stay. I will say it is closer to the interstate than I thought it would be, and sometime we could hear the traffic. Besides that, we would definitely recommend and will stay again when we are in the area.

It was the most beautiful cabin we have ever stayed in. The owner thought of everything. Lots of attention to the details were noticed. Very clean and the bed was comfortable. The outdoor area had just as much to offer. We didn’t want to leave.

Diamond in the Rough

We stayed at The Raven in Nelsonville for a 4 day weekend. My husband and I and our little girls loved this place! What a great place to rest after a day of hiking at hocking hills and a day of tubing on the hocking river. The place was clean, well laid out, and there was no guess work on how things worked. No weird smells, well decorated, but not pretentious. You are completely secluded in the woods and besides hearing the highway every so often, almost completely quiet. The firepit, back deck, and hottub were a favorite as well. The hosts were super communicative and welcoming. Easy entrance to the a frame was a relief as we’ve had trouble in the past. I only gave the location 3 stars for reasons outside the hosts control. Nelsonville is by far a small town we’ve never experienced before. Somewhat run down and the grocery stores and local restaurants reflect that a bit. We realized this about halfway through the trip and kept our meals to the Athens area, which is 15-20 min away. But the kitchen is beautiful and has everything you need to make a great home cooked meal.

A Perfect Getaway!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cozy cabin! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with how spotlessly clean and well-maintained everything was. It truly felt like a home away from home. Every room was immaculate, and it was clear that a lot of care goes into keeping the space fresh and inviting.The cabin came stocked with all the necessities we could possibly need. It made settling in so easy and stress-free.The peaceful surroundings, combined with the comfort and cleanliness of the cabin, made it truly relaxing and memorable. We highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-equipped place to unwind.

Extended Anniversary Weekend

Exceptional!!! Very romantic, quiet , and relaxing. I knew this place was perfect when my husband kept expressing how great it was and how the hosts literally thought about EVERYTHING you could possibly need. This was an anniversary trip for us and the minor details to everything was a major plus. Interaction with the host was very quick and the extended check out is greatly appreciated! Thank you is not enough words we will be back!
