About us

Modern Design, Ancient Landscape

Tucked into the sandstone cliffs of Hocking Hills — just an hour from Columbus — Lost Cavern is a modern sanctuary set deep within Ohio’s old-growth hemlock forest. Though just minutes from the region’s most iconic hikes and landmarks, each cabin feels worlds away — quiet, secluded, and perfectly at peace with its surroundings.

Choose from three private, glass-encased cabins, each perched on its own secluded overlook. Thoughtfully designed with mid-century modern flair and surrounded by raw natural beauty, every stay is a luxurious retreat into stillness, comfort, and the elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What amenities are included in the cabin rental?

Each cabin includes full kitchen facilities (oven, microwave, refrigerator, cooking utensils), linens and towels, WiFi, radiant-heated floors, a fireplace or fire-pit patio, and outdoor seating. Small details vary by cabin (e.g., some have a large hot tub, outdoor fire-pit, etc.) so it’s best to check the listing for the specific unit you’re booking.

2. How secluded is the property and what is the driving and road access like?

The properties are tucked into an old-growth hemlock forest in the Hocking Hills region, perched on 24 wooded acres with glass-encased cabins and dramatic cliff and cavern views.

Because of the natural terrain and seasonal conditions (e.g., winter snow and ice, narrow rural roads), the hosts advise appropriate vehicle access during certain months. Guests should plan for a quiet, secluded drive and bring any supplies they’ll need for remote retreat-style living.

3. What is the check-in/check-out policy and cancellation rules?

Check-in is at 3:00 PM, check-out at 10:00 AM.

Cancellation policy: 100% of the total amount is due at time of reservation. Payments are refundable if cancelled 7 days or more before arrival, and non-refundable if cancelled within 7 days of arrival. Because policies may differ by cabin or season, guests are encouraged to review the specific rental agreement carefully.

4. Are pets allowed and can I hold an event or large group?

Pets are not allowed.

Onsite parties or large group events are prohibited. If you plan a family gathering, special occasion, or have a pet, you should check with the property manager ahead of time to confirm rules for your stay.

5. What nearby activities or attractions are accessible?

Location: The cabins are located near many of the region’s signature hikes and natural features such as Old Man’s Cave and Conkle’s Hollow State Nature Preserve in Hocking Hills.

Seasonal info: Because the properties sit in a forested, cliff/cavern terrain, winter weather and off-road conditions may affect accessibility. During winter months it is highly recommended that guests arrive with an all-wheel-drive vehicle and pack accordingly with warm clothes and slip-resistant shoes. Always check weather and road conditions before arrival.
