"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Raven's Retreat! The Unique Art Lodge is filled with super thoughtful, creative details - you are surrounded by art in a nature sanctuary! The attention to detail is beautiful. Bravo on the incredible wood, tile, metal, and paint work throughout the house! I love how so many elements of nature are creatively weaved inside. The kitchen was a delight to cook in with so many amenities. The beds are delightfully comfortable and the soaking tub is a dream. We loved practicing yoga, playing pool, hiking the gorgeous property, and enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. It was the perfect place to celebrate my Mom's 70th birthday. Thank you to Dustin and Raven for going above and beyond to make our stay so special. What you are doing there is really magical and important. You can tell they really believe in and care about this property. I really appreciate how conscious they are about protecting the environment and educating others about wellness for ourselves and the planet. I look forward to coming back in the spring! Many thanks!!"
"I traveled from Sonoma County, California to lead a retreat with 9 participants at Raven's Retreat, and I was blown away by the beauty of the lodge and the surrounding nature. It was the perfect place to hold a wellness retreat. Simply being there is a healing experience, and it was an excellent setting to feel supported moving through deep processes as well as making connections with community. A two minute walk in the forest is a deck in a shaded area, which we used for one of our practices. And just outside the lodge is a wonderful fire pit already set up with seating all around. The lodge itself is a creation of art, which invites presence, mindfulness, and a sense of wonder. The bedrooms and sleeping arrangements were comfortable and plenty, and the kitchen was stacked with everything we needed. One week later I am still thinking of the majesty of this place and I am happy for anyone who gets the opportunity to visit and stay at this beautiful retreat center."
"We recently stayed at Raven's retreat for a relaxing and quirky bachelorette with some friends. Raven and Dustin made planning super easy and were friendly and welcoming. The retreat itself is beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed to rest, relax, prepare some great meals, and ultimately have a quiet getaway. While you can definitely have an entire weekend of just staying at the retreat and unplugging, it's also close to some great trails and waterfalls. Highly recommend!"
"Raven’s Retreat is a beautiful place to relax and connect with nature! The ecologically- minded artists/owners have created both indoor and outdoor spaces that are most inviting. I’d happily return for another stay."
"As a certified Forest Therapy Guide, I’ve led many walks in stunning natural settings, but Raven’s Retreat in Hocking Hills is truly exceptional. From the moment I stepped onto the property and met the friendly and inviting hosts, I felt a deep sense of peace. Leading a forest bathing walk here was a profound experience. The preserve holds a quiet magic, with towering trees, a gently flowing creek, and a stillness that invites deep connection. By the end of the walk, the group had connected with nature in a new and heartfelt way. After our immersive experience, the Art Lodge provided the perfect space to rest and reflect. Every detail of the lodge is designed to honor the surrounding wilderness, with artful touches that blend seamlessly with nature’s beauty. The atmosphere is colorful, warm, creative, and deeply restorative. Staying overnight allowed me to fully absorb the retreat’s healing energy. If you are looking for a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience the transformative power of nature, Raven’s Retreat is it. I highly recommend this hidden gem to fellow nature lovers, wellness seekers, and anyone in need of true restoration. I’ll certainly be back. 🌿✨"
"I came down with my family for my birthday to relax and have some family time. I also got engaged there! Not sure it was the first at Ravens Retreat! Raven and DJ were great! The lodge is so beautiful. My family and I could really see how much was put into it and it’s amazing. Also very comfortable and homey!! I would definitely come back. Raven and DJ respond so quickly and helped whenever we needed it. I have already recommended Ravens Retreat to a bunch of my family and friends."
