"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."
"Raven's Retreat is all that it claims to be and much more. It provides simple, and thoughtful accommodations, surrounded by remarkably untouched nature... This is all a mind, body and soul needs to find a place of restored balance and joy.. In addition to this, both Raven and DJ are an incredible wealth of knowledge regarding health, nutrition and wild edibles. I left inspired to clean up my diet, and with new interest in learning about the wild plants growing in my own backyard! I fully recommend Raven's Retreat if you are seeking peaceful surroundings to reconnect to yourself and nature. And if you are interested in developing further healthy habits, make sure to check in with Raven or DJ. They are both very laid back about it, and yet incredibly wise in many areas of wellness and very generous with sharing their knowledge!"
"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."
"Ravens retreat was a great place to relax and enjoy nature. Raven and Dj were gracious host and we will be returning."
"We stayed at the Pollinator tiny bungalow and it was absolutely perfect for our trip. We were close to all of the sites we wanted to visit but with a private retreat to relax in as well. The bungalow is well thought out and has everything you could need. All while being very visually appealing with the finishes and decorations. We enjoyed all of our time spent at the Pollinator and would highly recommend it to others looking for a unique and relaxing stay."
