"I had the most amazing experience at Raven’s Retreat. My hosts, Raven and Dustin, took care of me for 4 days, guiding me through exercise, nutrition and reflection activities. I had plenty of time to myself which is what I came for and emerged re-energized and focused. The setting is spectacular - I stayed in the Pollinator cabin. Overlooking a beautiful pond, it’s the perfect place to simply sit in peace and see nature pass by in front of you. I am making this an annual trip for sure and can’t wait to get back. Highly highly recommended."

"We stayed at the Tiny Polinator Bungalow and it was a great stay for my husband and I. It had all the essentials we needed to reset and just hangout with nature or hangout by the fire outside. It was easy to get to Old Man’s Cave too (about 15 - 20 min drive) if you want to hike. The bungalow itself was created so thoughtfully, you can tell every piece of furniture or art was created with meaning behind it. I highly recommend staying here to get away from your busy city life and need a reset, even if it’s for a day! Raven and Dustin are awesome and so kind!"

"In celebration of our ten-year wedding anniversary, my wife and I spent a week at Raven’s Retreat in Hocking Hills. We were seeking a secluded place away from the city, that would aid in providing rest, relaxation, safety, and peace. We found all of those things in Raven’s Retreat, a small, eco-friendly cabin, tucked back in the quiet woods of Laurelville, Ohio. Built with purpose and out of love for people in need of recharging and reconnecting with nature, the cabin is located on 58 beautiful acres of protected and preserved land. The space is largely no-frills yet completely unique and full of character! It does, however, boast a king-size bed and a private hot tub. We spent part of every morning and evening sitting out on the back deck observing native wildlife that navigated their way around the pond and through the woods behind the cabin. We cooked breakfast using the small electric range and convection oven, and then made lunch and dinner with the propane grill. On nights we didn’t feel like cooking, we treated ourselves to dinner in town. We ended almost every day by relaxing in the hot tub or sitting around a blazing bonfire. The absence of noise and almost zero light pollution allowed mother nature to sing and light up the dark night sky. We could have spent every second on the property, but we did spend some time hiking through two of the several public parks in Hocking Hills. They were quite breathtaking. Even when we lost connection with Google Maps (Wi-Fi and LTE are spotty), driving through hilly backroads ended up being fun and enjoyable! This peaceful trip gave us the chance to slow down, recharge, and reconnect through meaningful conversation, breaking bread, reading and writing, singing and playing music, joking around and laughing out loud, and pondering things without being strapped to a screen and schedule. I am evergrateful for the time we had to celebrate life and ten years of marriage. Thank you, Raven and Dustin, for creating and sharing such a special and inspiring space. Blessings to you both!"

"Such a beautifully, carefully put together retreat! The bungalow is made from sustainably sourced products and has so much charm! Right on a little pond with a fire pit and hammock. The interior was beautiful as well, with lovely light decorations and updated appliances. Would definitely come back!"
