About the host

Hosted by Derek Harden

Host profile image
I was born and raised in the Hocking Hills so I know the region inside and out. I went on to play football at THE Ohio State University while earning my Mechanical Engineering degree. My family and I have moved across the country and seen many beautiful places, but there is something special about the Hocking Hills. My wife and I love creating spaces for people to be inspired, connect, rejuvenate, and dream. It is an honor to play a small part in creating lasting memories for our guests.

Why they chose this property

Gorgeous Hocking Hills views. Huge living room, A-Frame style windows. Pool with a view. Private and secluded yet close to the state parks. This is the kind of place I would stay if I were looking for a short-term rental for my family!

What makes this property unique

Our cabin can comfortably host 18+ people for family gatherings or retreats, but it is also incredible for a couple's romantic getaway. It has an intimate feel but plenty of space with different living areas. The pool offers excellent privacy with great views. The 12+ acres offer space for dogs to run, kids to play, and for sunrise/sunset walks.
