"Such a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. It's not far from all the popular hiking areas. The design is awesome and very unique! The hot tub is right outside and placed to see the water, beautiful forest and all the stars. I have never seen so many stars in my life! It was truly a one of a kind experience for my boyfriend and I. It is a perfect romantic getaway. I definitely recommend 10/10!"

"Stayed at "The Pollinator " and it was the perfect cozy little getaway.Very quiet and private. The host are very attentive and nice. We were greeted with many different bird throughout the day especially mornings back patio overlooks a cute little pond,10 mins from local restaurants, 30mins to downtown Logan and around 20 mins to hocking hills. And if you don't wanna leave the property they have trails on the property to hike. Would recommend to any couple looking for a private getaway!"

"Its was a beautiful place to get away and just relax with one another. My husband and I enjoyed the scenic view watching the birds while playing a game of Scrabble. We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary and we could not have picked a better place. Thank you Dustin and Raven for a memorable stay. We hope to come back!🫶🏻"

"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!"

"Wow! What a place. Like staying in an art gallery in the middle of beautiful woods. Loads of genius touches — all hand made by a lovely artist couple who created the place. The fireplace is incredible, with a metal sculpted eagle’s wing across the surround. A stunning infinity lamp made from a tree trunk. And too many gorgeous pieces to describe. Pictures don’t begin to do it justice. Heck, even kitchen cabinets and bath vanities are handmade by them. All surrounded by woods with a hot tub! I can’t recommend this highly enough! Incredible bedding, pillows, and mattresses for the best night sleep ever and it’s spotlessly clean."
