Raven’s Retreat is a Therapeutic, Vacation Rental Attraction, located in the Hocking Hills, of Ohio, where we focus on the well being of our guests and provide a Catered Experience to them. People that stay at Raven’s Retreat come here to be immersed in Nature and often visit the nearby Hocking Hills State Parks. While here guests experience Seclusion, Peace, Tranquility and an Escape from Everyday Life.
All of our dwellings are inspired by Nature, Art, and overall Systemic Health. Raven’s Retreat is run by an Athletic Couple who turned their focus from competing in various combat sports, to Lifestyle Wellness Education. This Education includes the pursuit of Mental Health through fostering Creativity, Self Expression, Nutrition, and Fitness.
You save on daily rates if you book for more than one night.
The Pollinator is designed to provide comfort in a scenic setting immersed in nature overlooking a pond. Being disconnected from cellular and internet service will allow you to escape and recharge. The Pollinator is stocked with an equipped kitchenette, therapeutic mattress, electric wood stove, and outdoor fire pit. You’ll have exclusive access to our hot tub, sauna, and outdoor shower, which is a short walk away.
Raven’s Retreat is centered around our guest’s wellness. Maybe you just want to relax and have some time away, soak in the hot tub, or have some sauna therapy. You have the ability to take mental health a step further by visiting our meditation stations deep in the woods. If you want to work on physical fitness try a hike at a nearby park or challenge yourself on our functional fitness trail.

No, these amenities are not Communal. Currently, these amenities are for the Pollinator Tiny Home guests only. Once we open Klad House, our largest rental that will sleep 16 people, the hot tub sauna and outdoor shower will be exclusively for their use. Larger groups are welcome to reserve Pollinator Tiny Home & Klad house and share the spatio as a group.
If you head down the driveway, past the pond, about 200 meters to the end of the driveway, there is a turnaround loop. A large rental, named “Klad house,” is at the bottom of that loop. On the backside of Klad House is what we call the spatio, a patio with a hot tub, sauna, and outdoor shower.
There are two options for the Pollinator Tiny Home guests to shower. If they want to stay close to the Pollinator Tiny Home, they can use the camp-shower/changing area next to the Pollinator. Or guests can travel down the hill to the back side of Klad house, where there is a plumbed in shower on the spatio. This is about 200 meters from Pollinator Tiny Home
Yes, there is a limit on parking. The primitive camping sites, Peace, Shroom, and Heart, each only have one parking spot per site. Pollinator Tiny Home has two parking spots for its guests. Klad House has parking for up to 6 vehicles.
Yes, You actually have to drive back a half of a mile gravel driveway to get to them.
They are between 80 to 150 feet from each other, however, they have been strategically created to have natural barriers between them to offer more privacy. These barriers are in the form of ground elevation change and abundant plant life.
We are working with a Botanist named Jim Osborne, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and Rural Action.
We definitely strive to leave as little of a footprint as possible. All of our buildings are insulated with premium insulation including multiple layers. Most of our appliances and lighting are energy efficient and we use low flow aerators and shower heads to conserve water. The majority of our construction materials are recycled/upcycled. We install lighting that is less disruptive to wildlife in all of our buildings. We ask all guests to refrain from wearing or using strong scents/chemicals to avoid disrupting our wildlife and water quality. We use many biodegradable soaps and detergents. Our goal is to expose others to eco-tourism and to encourage them to consider their own impact as well. Hosts, Raven and Dustin maintain a plant based lifestyle that focuses on reducing water consumption, land usage, and earth’s resources. We ask that all guests stay on our trails while in our woods, do not move or remove rocks, logs, or natural habitat. Guests can move the designated rocks and logs at our Functional Fitness Stations located within our woods.
