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 bed and twin bed; and the lower level offers a twin-over-full bunk bed and a sleeper sofa, along with a second cozy living space.

The main living area features vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and an open layout that flows into a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The lower level also includes a wet bar and mini fridge. Wi-Fi is available throughout the cabin.

Step outside to enjoy the 6-person hot tub on the upper deck overlooking the wooded hillside. A 4-burner Blackstone griddle and outdoor fire ring make it easy to enjoy meals and relax outdoors.

Need-to-Know Info:

The cabin is located on a gravel road that is slightly steep, bumpy, and winding but manageable for most vehicles. During winter weather, AWD or 4WD may be helpful. Snow removal is professionally handled as needed.

The cabin uses well water. It is safe to drink, but guests who are sensitive to taste may prefer bottled water. A refrigerator filtration system is also available.

Cell service is generally good for AT&T and T-Mobile, and fair for Verizon, though occasional dropped calls can occur.

Less than 5 minutes from Wayne National Forest and about 20 minutes from Old Man’s Cave and the Hocking Hills trail system, Cardinal Cabin offers a great balance of convenience and a quiet wooded setting.

Pet Policy: Up to 2 dogs allowed (some restrictions may apply). A $100 pet fee applies.

Thank you for the thoughtful review! I’m glad the directions, communication, and water pressure all helped make for a comfortable stay. We do keep baking sheets and mixing bowls in the kitchen, but sometimes items can be easy to miss depending on what guests are preparing.

Very clean and peaceful cabin in a quiet location. Owner responded promptly to any questions we had during our stay and about the area. The long stone road over hills to get there was a little tricky to navigate if not an experienced driver.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 4 August 2025
Thanks so much, Marlo — we really appreciate your kind words and are so glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet! You're right, the stone road can be a little tricky the first time, especially with the hills. That’s actually why I made a short YouTube video showing the full drive in, so guests can see exactly what to expect. It’s linked in the check-in message, and I always recommend watching it before arrival just to make that first trip a breeze. Thanks again for staying with us — you were great guests!

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.
