Simply Serene

Avenwood Cabins was born from a simple idea: getting away shouldn't mean giving things up. Too many cabin stays in the Hocking Hills region meant choosing between nature and comfort. You either roughed it in a drafty A-frame with no hot water, or you stayed in a cookie-cutter resort miles from the forest with parking lot views. We wanted to build something different. Cabins that belong to the landscape, designed with the same care you'd expect from a boutique hotel, but set deep enough in the Hocking Hills forest that the only sounds are birdsong and creek water. Today Avenwood Cabins operates 14 private cabins on wooded lots near New Straitsville, Ohio, each one equipped with a hot tub, fireplace, fire pit, and high-speed WiFi. Every detail, from the placement of each window to the angle of the deck, was chosen to frame this part of Ohio the way it deserves to be seen.

Avenwood Cabins is located at 8415 Howdyshell Road in New Straitsville, Ohio, in the Hocking Hills region of southeastern Ohio, inside Wayne National Forest. The Hocking Hills area is one of the state's most popular outdoor destinations, defined by dramatic sandstone gorges, hidden waterfalls, and dense forests of hemlock and oak that were carved by millions of years of water and wind. Our cabins sit roughly 35 minutes from Old Man's Cave, Cedar Falls, and Ash Cave, the three most visited formations in Hocking Hills State Park. The surrounding area offers everything from winery visits and local dining to kayaking, zip-lining, horseback riding, and ATV trails. New Straitsville itself is a small, quiet town with deep Appalachian roots. It's close enough to the trails for a day hike but far enough from the crowds that evenings are genuinely peaceful.
