CRR News Hocking Hills Cabins All Posts

Spring has arrived in Ohio’s Hocking Hills.

Pack away your winter coat and wander five miles of private trails where wildflowers erupt in a riot of color. At Cherry Ridge Retreat, our 140 wooded acres hum with life: spot crimson-eyed trillium, shy spotted salamanders, and the delicate “pantaloons” of Dutchman’s Breeches. By day, listen for the drumming of pileated woodpeckers; by night, the haunting call of the owls echoes through ravines.

Sustainable Luxury Cabins

Our eight energy-efficient cabins blend indulgence with responsibility. Improved insulation, LED lighting, and Energy Star appliances reduce energy use by 25% compared to traditional lodges. In our Observatory Cabin, a geothermal HVAC system taps into the earth’s stable temperatures—no fossil fuels required. Sip locally roasted Koffee Geeks beans on your porch as deer forage just yards away, then unwind in a private hot tub under stars unpolluted by city lights.

Spring Trails & Wildlife Secrets

Five miles of trails, reserved for guests, wind through Appalachian forest untouched by development.
Follow babbling streams to our native pollinator gardens (planted to revive monarch butterflies and other essential pollinating insects) or explore our tree farm, where as participants of the Department of
Agriculture’s Forest Stewardship Program, we have planted 200+ native species. Pro tip: March and April’s twilight hikes reveal salamanders trekking to ancestral vernal pools—a spectacle as rare as it is
magical.
