About this property

Nestled in the heart of the Hocking Hills.... Hummingbird Holler

Hummingbird Holler is a 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home in a stunning 5 acre setting (no hot tub). The best part is we are close to everything. Old Man's Cave, Rockhouse, Conkle's Hollow, Cantwell Cliffs, Tar Hollow State Park, and even Grandma Faye's are all very close! Forget something? The grocery store is just up the road in Laurelville or Kroger is in Logan.

Hill Willie's Hideaways, LLC has tried to make this feel like home by providing internet (poor quality, but the only option), DirecTV in the master and living room on 50" and 65" TVs, and a land line. There is an Onkyo stereo that you can bluetooth and enjoy your own music (Just please keep it down after 10 for the neighbors). Karaoke Machine for more fun!
We have a huge kitchen with gas range, dishwasher, microwave, 2 coffee makers (Keurig w/pods and one that grinds your beans), complete dinner set and more!
Feel like grilling out? We have provided a gas grill! There is even a picnic shelter to sit and enjoy your fresh grilled goods down by the creek! Afterwards, relax by the fire and have some s'mores! We have a 7x10 concrete block patio by the fire pit!
The spacious master bedroom boasts a King size bed and two dressers. The second bedroom offers a queen, and the third has a set of bunk beds with a trundle bed. You can bring the whole family! The large dining room table seats 6 easily and we have extra chairs. We even have a washer and dryer for you to use.
Sitting on either of the two porches or inside with the windows open, you can hear the sounds of the small creek that lines the property. We added a 600lb capacity tree swing right by the creek in the big maple tree. You are free to roam the woods as the property lines are clearly marked by both driveways and flags in the woods. There is a short trail that goes up the back hill between the garage and the house and comes out by the shooting range. As time goes on, we will be expanding these hiking trails.
At the far end of the property you will find a shooting range if you want to exercise your second amendment rights. During the shut down, we built and installed a new shooting table for either right or left hand shooters at the 25 yard area. There are no plinking type targets to avoid ricochet and injuries.
We also added a 6 ft x 6ft dry wood storage rack. We will be harvesting wood from the property for you and try to keep it stocked.
In the spring and summer of 2020, we transplanted 1045 new perennial flowers and hostas around the property. We will continue to work on the property and listen to our guests. We added non-stick cookie sheets and oven pans after one suggestion. We added the tree swing after another.
Hummingbird Holler got it's name from the several seasonal hummingbirds that visit each year. We put out at least 7 feeders a year to make sure you will get to experience such a fun and interesting bird. If you see that a feeder is empty, we put more juice in the upper left cabinet.
Have kids? We have a high chair booster seat combo and an additional booster seat. Also just added just before 2020 could end, we put in a new Bryant furnace. We installed central air conditioning April 2021.
You can spot Hummingbird Holler from a good distance as we have 2 of our signature pink concrete deer marking the driveway.
In our first year of business in 2020, we decided to address the crawlspace issue and had The Basement Authority come out to make sure you are safe. Check out the picture of what is below! It is amazing!
Escape from the city and get out and take in our fresh air! We have an isolated location for you and your family on 5 acres but it feels like so much more!
In February 2023 we added a whole house backup generator!!! It has been used a lot this year so far! Don't rent a place unless it has backup power otherwise you might not have water either!
And November brought a renovated bathroom. Hopefully 2024 brings a new master bathroom!
Come on down, according to a recent review... "Best kept secret in the (Hocking) Hills.... Such a blast to poke around the vast property" October 22nd, 2023....and that's before we renovated the bathroom!!!!

We loved our stay at this hidden gem in Hocking Hills. The host, Kevin, was so nice, communicative, and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a better host. His house is exceptional- adorable, spacious, and clean! And the property is awesome! It was so peaceful and quiet sitting around the fire pit and hearing absolutley nothing! We would definitely recommend this little hideaway and can't wait to go back. It's perfect!

This is an excellent property with many amenities. The owners are very attentive to any needs or concerns. The property is very clean. Be aware that cell phone service may be limited so I recommend taking a screenshot/writing down all directions and info ahead of time to avoid inconvenience.

Love to come down to Hummingbird Holler !

My wife and I have been coming down since 2021. We come down each Spring and Fall. We've gotten to know the owner, Kevin Brown, and he would do anything to make your stay more pleasurable. There are plenty of properties to rent in the area, but we wouldn't stay anywhere else. It is convenient to Laurelville for any of your needs. And if you want to see hummingbirds, this is the place!

Fabulous wooded property

This is a great location for exploring the Hocking Hills area. House was perfect for 3 adults but would easily be good for a family or 3 couples. Clean, a great front porch, low traffic road, and beautiful grounds.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin A. Brown

Host profile image
Hi! We are Kevin and Lorelie, the owners of Hill Willie's Hideaways. We purchased Hummingbird Holler in June of 2019 and opened just before Christmas 2019. We have been working to improve the property ever since we bought it and will continue to try to provide the best family experience for you in a beautiful setting.

Why they chose this property

When I first looked at the property it was an obvious choice. I got out of my truck and just got a great feeling of relaxation as soon as I heard the waterfall in the distance. It was a warm June day and it was refreshing to get out of the sun and under the shade of the almost complete canopy.

What makes this property unique

We are unique because of our location! You have 5 acres to yourself and it seems like so much more. We are bordered by other owners with as little as 5 acres and as much as 40! Most properties have hills and trees. We have water too! What other property around here do you know that has a shooting range in their back yard? You want to get away? Then book today! And...we have a whole house backup generator!!!

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
