Yes, when available. A private buyout can help create a more immersive, calm, and cohesive retreat experience for your group.
Overnight capacity depends on which spaces are reserved. A group retreat at the Art Lodge sleeps up to 16 guests. The Art Bungalow has one king bed that can sleep up to 2 additional people – so a group of 16 in the Art Lodge can become a group of up to 18 if two people stay in the Art Bungalow as well. For select occasions that align with our values as a retreat center – such as micro-weddings, retirement gatherings, or other special
events – we can discuss day layouts for groups of up to 30 people, by approval only. This isn’t part of our standard retreat offerings.
If your group is larger than our on-site sleeping capacity, we can also
recommend nearby lodging options.
Yes. We can help you choose the best indoor and outdoor areas for movement, workshops, circles, meetings, meals, and other guided group experiences based on your retreat style.

We protect the soundscape for wildlife and rest. Quiet hours apply, and music/amplified sound is handled case-by-case based on the retreat format and spaces reserved.
We provide a simple pivot plan with indoor backup options connected to the spaces you booked, so weather doesn’t derail your retreat.
Some retreats do, depending on group size and activities. We’ll confirm exactly what’s required before you finalize plans.
Booking terms depend on the type of reservation. Custom curated retreats and workshop events follow a different cancellation structure than standard retreat-space rentals, and we’ll confirm your exact terms before you finalize your booking.
For custom curated retreats and workshop events, cancellations made more than 6 months before the event receive a full refund. Cancellations made 3 to 6 months before the event receive a 50% refund. Cancellations made less than 3 months before the event are non-refundable due to planning, custom arrangements, and facilitator scheduling. For Art Lodge or Art Bungalow rentals, guests must cancel within 48 hours of booking and at least 14 days before check-in for a full refund. Otherwise, guests receive a full refund when canceling at least 30 days before check-in, and cancellations made 7 to 30 days before check-in receive a 50% refund.
Domestic animals are not permitted on the nature preserve because they can disturb or harm wildlife.
Raven’s Retreat Hocking Hills is an adults-only space created for wellness, connection, discovery, and creative activation.
Standard check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. In some cases, early check-in or late check-out may be available for an additional fee if the cleaning schedule allows. If you need different timing, let us know when booking and we’ll confirm whether we can accommodate it.
