Imagine arriving at a secluded cabin tucked deep in the woods, knowing, without a doubt, that every detail has been checked, perfected, and prepared for your arrival. That’s what Select Registry means at Cherry Ridge Retreat. When you're celebrating something important or simply craving a flawless escape, you shouldn’t have to roll the dice. You deserve a stay that’s been verified by the gold standard in independent lodging.
What Makes Select Registry So Different?
Select Registry is more than just a name, it’s a promise. As a curated group of the most exceptional inns, bed and breakfasts, and boutique hotels across North America, Select Registry properties must meet rigorous standards to earn and keep their place. Each property undergoes a 525-point inspection that covers every aspect of the guest experience, from cleanliness and safety to service, design, and even the online presence. This isn’t a one-time certification either; inspections are ongoing to maintain consistent quality.
Cherry Ridge Retreat is proud to be one of fewer than 300 properties in the country to hold this honor. For over a decade, we’ve maintained a five-star guest rating and consistently delivered on the promises Select Registry represents. That badge by our name means your stay has already been vetted at the highest level, so you can step into your cabin knowing the experience will meet (and likely exceed) your expectations.
Why It Matters to Our Guests
Each guest who comes to Cherry Ridge Retreat arrives with a story: an anniversary, a vow renewal, a long-awaited chance to unplug. Select Registry helps us give every one of those stories the setting they deserve.
For the Celebration Couple
You’ve cleared your calendars and maybe even hired a sitter. You’re ready to reconnect with your partner, to sip wine in a private hot tub, linger over chef-prepared dinners, and sleep in without a single interruption. With Select Registry backing your stay, you can trust that your anniversary escape won’t be marred by weak Wi-Fi, noisy neighbors, or poor service. Everything has been carefully prepared and curated to let you fully unwind.
For the Elopement Duo
Planning an elopement or vow renewal often means juggling dozens of small but critical details. When your cabin is Select Registry certified, you know it’s worthy of your big moment. Add in scenic ceremony spots across 148 private acres, a cake and champagne package, and licensed massage therapists to help you relax after the ceremony, and you’ve got more than a location, you’ve got peace of mind.
For the Wellness Seeker or Remote Worker
Looking for a midweek reset or a peaceful place to log a few hours of work remotely? Our cabins offer the seclusion and serenity of the forest with the elevated touches of a luxury resort. Dependable Wi-Fi, designer kitchens, and spa-style bathrooms are the baseline. When you combine that with Select Registry standards, you know your work-from-woods experience won’t turn into a stress fest.
Luxury in Every Detail
At Cherry Ridge Retreat, Select Registry isn’t just a title; it’s a mindset that touches everything we do. Our eight luxury cabins are spread across 148 acres of private woodland, offering guests total privacy and immersive views of nature from every window. Inside, no two cabins are alike, but all feature:
- Plush king-sized beds and premium linens
- Spa-style bathrooms with Aveda bath products
- Private hot tubs
- Cozy fireplaces
- Smart TVs and sound systems
- Full kitchens with gourmet appliances
Select cabins also feature:
- Premium massage chairs
- Heated swimming pools and a cold plunge
- A Sauna and seasonally accessible boat
But the real luxury? Knowing that each of these elements is maintained to the highest standards. From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel the difference in cleanliness, layout, and design.
Award-Winning for a Reason
We were honored to receive the 2024 Select Registry Craft Lodging Award, which goes beyond typical ratings to recognize lodging that delivers thoughtful, memorable guest experiences from start to finish.
That could mean a welcome charcuterie board waiting in your cabin. It could be a seamless in-cabin massage appointment arranged through our concierge. Or maybe it’s the help our staff gives you in planning a proposal on one of our private trails. These moments are what we do best, because luxury, to us, is in the details.
Enhancements That Match the Setting
One of the reasons guests return to Cherry Ridge Retreat again and again is the way we customize each stay. Whether you’re marking a milestone or simply sneaking away for a quiet few days, our enhancements let you shape your experience:
- In-Cabin Spa Services: Licensed massage therapists bring the spa to you
- Private Chef and Dining: Dine without leaving your cabin
- Snack Boxes & Charcuterie: Locally sourced and ready upon arrival
- Wine & Mead Pairings: Celebrate with hand-selected bottles
- Firewood Delivery: Keep the glow going all night long
Each of these services is presented with the same quality and attention to detail, adding to the ease and comfort of your stay.
Seclusion Meets Adventure
While some guests come for the solitude, others love our close proximity to Hocking Hills’ most iconic trails and waterfalls. Within a 15-minute drive, you can reach Old Man’s Cave, Ash Cave, and Conkel’s Hollow, part of Ohio’s top-rated state park system. And when the day’s adventures are done, your private cabin offers a warm soak, a glass of wine, and no distractions.
Many of our guests spend entire days on the property, hiking five miles of groomed private trails or casting a line into one of our stocked fishing ponds. Because the grounds are only open to our guests, you’ll rarely pass another person, just birdsong, fresh air, and time to breathe.
