"10/10 would and will stay here again! The place is clean, tidy, and unique. One of the nicer places we have stayed in the area!"
"Great place to stay! We loved how unique and cozy the cabin was, and it offered a great opportunity to connect with nature and each other! We plan on coming back for a longer stay soon!"
"Wow! What an amazing place. I stayed in the Art Bungalow for the weekend and it healed me! I had a very hectic 2025 and wanted to get away from it all (I live in Los Angeles) and found this oasis. I was lucky to tour the Art Lodge also and look forward to renting that one day w/ friends! The best part though? Raven and Dustin!! These two are so caring, intelligent and accommodating - it’s amazing. Thank you so much!! From the bottom of my heart. See you again soon! Brendon"
"A Perfect Nature Escape at Raven’s Retreat, Hocking Hills! Raven’s Retreat in Hocking Hills is a true gem for those seeking a peaceful getaway in nature. The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking landscapes, making it the perfect retreat from city life. The stay was exceptional—spacious, comfortable, and designed to offer relaxation and serenity. The interior decoration is thoughtfully curated, blending modern comfort with a nature-inspired concept. From wooden accents to earthy tones, every detail reflects the beauty of the outdoors, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable, and it was clear that the home is well-maintained with great attention to detail. The highlight of our stay was the warm and welcoming host, who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything for a comfortable visit—and don’t forget to say hi to their adorable pet dog! If you’re looking for a tranquil escape with modern amenities in the heart of Hocking Hills, Raven’s Retreat is the perfect choice. Highly recommended! 🌿✨"
