Cabins in a Clearing: Beech, Walnut Chestnut - check all three
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Cabins in a Clearing (Beech, Walnut, and Chestnut) is a small, primitive, smoke-free cabin set in the woods of Ohio’s Hocking Hills, in rural Logan. The property consists of three simple cabins designed for a back-to-basics stay, each with heat, a porch, a fire ring, and an outdoor grill for cooking on-site. Beech Cabin is furnished with a double bed with linens, night stands, shelves for clothes, and a small café table and chairs indoors, plus a porch bench table and a picnic table outside. Water is provided via a shared stand pipe along the driveway, and a nearby waterproof USB receptacle makes device charging straightforward. Private shower stalls have been added to each cabin using sun-heated water bags. The cabins sit about 13 miles from Old Man’s Cave, and the wider area includes cultural stops like the Paul A. Johnson Pencil Sharpener Museum and Hocking Valley Scenic Railway, plus nearby activities such as Adventure Golf at Rempel’s Grove and Brass Ring Golf Club.
Best for
Best suited to couples or solo travelers who want a quiet, rustic Hocking Hills base with simple comforts like heat, a porch, and an outdoor fire ring and grill. It also fits travelers who like “primitive” lodging but still want practical touches such as provided linens (Beech) and an easy charging point near the shared water stand pipe.
Travel tips
Plan to arrive with a car and supplies, as the setting is rural and no walkable nearby places are documented; the shared water stand pipe is in a common area along the driveway. Old Man’s Cave is about 13 miles away, making the cabins a workable base for early starts on Hocking Hills outings. Note that the private shower stalls use sun-heated water bags, so shower temperature can depend on daytime sun exposure.
