About this property
Spacious Log Cabin with Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Large Decks & Wood Fireplace
Welcome to Cardinal Cabin – a peaceful, three-story retreat tucked into the woods, offering comfort, seclusion, and easy access to both Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest.
With two full bathrooms and three separate sleeping areas, the cabin is ideal for families or small groups. The main floor includes a private queen bedroom; the open loft features a king-size bed and twin bed; and the newly finished basement offers a bunk bed (twin over full) and a sleeper sofa, along with a second cozy living space.
The main living area includes vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and an open layout leading into a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The lower level also features a wet bar and mini fridge. Wi-Fi is available throughout the cabin, making it easy to stay connected if needed.
Step outside to enjoy the 6-person hot tub on the upper deck, overlooking a private, wooded hillside. A 4-burner Blackstone griddle and outdoor fire ring make it easy to enjoy meals and evenings outdoors.
Need-to-Know Info:
The cabin is located on a gravel road that's a little bumpy and slightly steep in spots, but it’s well-traveled and manageable for most vehicles. During winter weather, AWD or 4WD might be helpful, though professional snow removal is provided.
The cabin uses well water. It’s safe to drink, but if you’re sensitive to the taste, you may want to bring bottled water. A refrigerator filtration system is also in place.
Cell service is generally good for AT&T and T-Mobile, and fair for Verizon, though occasional dropped calls can occur in the area.
Less than 5 minutes from parts of Wayne National Forest, and just 20 minutes from Old Man’s Cave and the Hocking Hills trail system, Cardinal Cabin offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and modern comfort.
Pet Policy: Up to 2 dogs allowed (some restrictions may apply). A $100 pet fee applies. No charge for service animals with valid documentation.
County Registration Number: 00011

About the host
Hosted by Lee
Our names are Kristen and Lee Johnson and we are the very proud owners The Cardinal Cabin. This has been a dream of ours that we are so excited to have turned into reality. Whether you are visiting to relax in the hot tub, reconnect with nature, enjoy attractions of the region, or all of the above, we sincerely hope that you enjoy yourself and want to help you make the most out of your stay.
Why they chose this property
Nestled within the serenity of Aspen Ridge Cabins, our retreat spans 45 acres of tranquil bliss. A secluded haven, accessed via a picturesque winding country gravel road, ensures an exclusive escape from the hustle and bustle. Complete with the assurance of no public accessibility, tranquility reigns supreme, and the only sounds you'll hear are the whispers of nature.
The Cardinal Cabins and The Blue Ash are thoughtfully positioned about 100 yards apart, offer mutual glimpses of their charming presence. Come spring and summer, the lush foliage provides a natural screen, ensuring a sense of privacy. Notably, the only views are from the back decks, preserving the intimate atmosphere. On the horizon, The Beechtree Burrow and The Getaway Cabins beckon, nestled a quarter and half a mile away, respectively, cleverly hidden from view.
Prepare for enchanting encounters with the local wildlife – deer, turkey, and an array of bird species grace our surroundings. Nature's symphony becomes the soundtrack to your stay. A mere 15-minute drive unveils the wonders of attractions like Old Man's Cave and Ash Cave, adding convenience to the allure of our secluded retreat.
Located on the Central to Southeast side of the Hocking Hills region, Aspen Ridge Cabins offers a gateway to pristine nature, ensuring an unforgettable escape for those seeking solace and connection with the great outdoors.
