1800s Rustic Log Montana Cabin near Hocking Hills

The Montana Cabin is nestled in the rolling hills of Southeast, Ohio while still remaining close to nearby restaurants, shops, and local attractions. The cabin boasts 1 lofted bedroom, 1 bathroom, a comfortable living space, and a beautiful kitchen. Traveling is a breeze when you stay with us as the cabin is fully equipped with great amenities. Property offers an outdoor hot tub, fire pit, and great quality time. State Parks, lakes, canoe & kayaking, ziplining and so much more all located within a short distance from the property.
You will be overwhelmed by the beauty and calmness of the forest and wildlife. Explore the property or the beautiful Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest region of Southeast Ohio. Maybe you will have a serendipitous encounter with nature that you will wish to experience time after time.

Guests will follow a long gravel driveway until they find themselves in the middle of the forest where they are welcomed to a beautiful, rustic 1800s log cabin with a wrap around porch. Upon entering the Montana Cabin, guests will feel an instant sense of charm, comfort, and peace.

The Montana Cabin was completely restored using reclaimed barn doors and patchwork quilt hardwood flooring that came from old churches, schoolhouses, and other older homes in the area. The hickory kitchen cabinets are filled with all the amenities needed for our guests to enjoy a scrumptious, home-cooked meal. There is a wood burning pot bellied stove that guests can use to warm up with during winter months while snuggling on the couch. Follow the wooden staircase to the cozy lofted area with two Queen-sized beds where the floors and A-frame ceiling are covered in the beautiful, restored hardwood flooring.

Step outside each morning for a morning coffee before the birds start chirping to hear the unearthly quietness of the forest. Throughout the day, explore the unknown at the nearby State Parks. Come back to enjoy some flamed grilled food.

The wrap around porch is pure bliss. There is a small fire pit around the back where our guests can enjoy time underneath stars around a crackling, warm flame. To end each evening, guests can relax and unwind in the circular Jacuzzi that is tucked away on the corner of the wrap around porch.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
There is no way to communicate with the property managers after business hours. We slept in our car outside the cabin because there was no key in the lock box like we were told there would be, and there was no way to tell anyone until the office opened the next day. Honorable mention: the staff was kind and apologetic, a full refund was received, but we will not use this company in the future.

Quiet getaway

This is a great little cabin. Quiet and comfortable. Located within 30 minutes of all the things we wanted to see and do. My only recommendation would be to move the fire pit away from the septic.

Great get away!

We had a great time. The place under promised and over delivered. It is very secluded and quiet, which is hard to find! Beautiful cabin in the woods. Perfectly clean and well stocked. I will say that the mattresses could use an update. They are very very soft/worn out. But that’s the only complaint.

Adorable cabin

Came out to Hockimg Hills for a reunion of myself and my sweetie from 30 years ago. Place was perfect and very secluded away from everyone. Cabin was adorable decorated in bears and forest decor. Don’t forget to write a note and stick in the wall. Will definitely be back!

Enjoyed the Montana cabin.

Loved the cabin! So much character! We loved all the little notes left by others. The hot tub was very hot. There were so many flies. The furniture was comfortable. It was a relaxing get away. Could not log into WiFi. Well equipped kitchen. Nice bathroom! Gotta be careful on those stairs to the bedroom. We would definitely return!

Montana cabin

The cabin was really nice as advertised. We enjoyed the location very private. It was clean and comfortable. The biggest problem with our stay was the septic system and sewage smell and we could not get away from it. If you took a shower, got even worse. So we could not use the fire ring in the outside amenities. so on the property, we were restricted to the cabin.

Birthday get away dream!

This cabin was even better than the pictures. We walked in to warmth and this wonderful smell, like pine and cinnamon and bread. It was so cozy, lovely and clean. My partner and I had a blast curling up together and watching horror movies on the comfortable couch. And we also got to go to Hocking Hills State Park, specifically Old Man’s Cave, right after a beautiful snow fall. It was a perfect and private respite from the city. My partner said it was a great birthday surprise! We will be back!

Cabin was nice but amenities were frustrating

The cabin was nice and clean. We reported that the hot tub blew the breaker when you kicked on the jets on Monday. Still wasn’t fixed and there was no communication about the issue with us throughout the week, including Friday when we checked out. The outdoor gas grill had burner tubes that were rusted out and was not usable.

Secluded rustic getaway

Very quiet and peaceful. Very clean overall and well stocked. Love the inside of the cabin so much. Truly a gem. A few suggestions: provide firewood or fire starters. And the hot tub cover could be replaced. Light in hot tub didn’t work and the inside of the cover was making the water dirty. There is a smell outside likely due to the water well or septic but it wasn’t much of an issue for me. I also wish checkout wasn’t so early, usually 11-12 is normal but 10 made me feel rushed to get out. I would return though.

Honeymoon Getaway

We spent 5 nights in the Montana cabin for our honeymoon! The place was so cozy and so clean. Perfect tucked away little cabin on a hill. The cabin has a sense of coziness the minute you walk in. There are journals with little notes about previous people’s stays. There are also notes tucked into the grooves in the walls. Some with stories, some with jokes, some with scavenger hunts. There are little corks and other little tokens of memories that people had left behind. It’s quiet and peaceful there. The hot tub is super relaxing. The cabin is very close to anything you’d want to do or visit while there. The cabin has everything you could possibly need. There’s even a crock pot lol. There is a grill to use as well. The fire pit is right by a little creek so you can hear that while you’re there❤️❤️❤️ We will me be making this a yearly trip! Thanks so much!!!!! Zach and Amber Postell

Great cabin in the woods

Great place to stay to see the Hocking Hills area. We were about a half hour from everything we wanted to see. The cabin is nice and quiet. It was clean and just as advertised. The only bad thing was the smell from the 3 septic access points which are right next to the fire pit and hot tub. It wasn't horrible but when the breeze definitely blew it our direction while in the hot tub. Regarding 1st Choice, the property management company . . . don't know if I've ever said this before, but the communication was too much. I didn't need to be contacted by phone 3 different times to go over the exact same thing. They wanted me to pick up the key at their store, but I came in after hours. There's a lockbox at the cabin, so I don't know why they even wanted that. My feedback for them is this . . . one call is plenty!
