Best for Couples
Firefly's Landing
Firefly's Landing is one of six newer-style cabins at Avenwood with a double-sided wood-burning fireplace visible from both the living room and the bedroom. The hanging egg chair and modern design make it a favorite for couples looking for something beyond a traditional log cabin. A private hot tub on the deck and a fire pit in the yard complete the setting.
Best for Pet Owners
The Getaway House
The Getaway House is the only Avenwood cabin with a fenced yard, making it the top pick for guests traveling with dogs. It is also the only cabin that sleeps four, with a pool table, dart board, and full kitchen. Like all 14 Avenwood cabins, the pet fee is a $50 flat rate covering all pets for the entire stay with no breed or weight restrictions.
Best for a Classic Cabin Feel
Millers Den
Millers Den is one of the most recognizable cabins on the property thanks to the decorative water wheel at the entrance. The all-pine interior, stone gas fireplace, and loft bedroom with log bed frame deliver a traditional homestead atmosphere. A full kitchen with granite countertops means you can cook full meals without leaving the woods.
Best for Romance and Anniversaries
Cherokee Way
Cherokee Way is built for intimate getaways. The gas fireplace in the bedroom is framed by windows that open onto forest views, and the private hot tub sits on a covered porch screened by lattice. The cabin has a cozy, enclosed feel that suits anniversaries, honeymoons, and proposals. Add a rose petal heart, a rose and candle lit trail, or wine and novelty glasses, set up before you arrive.
Best for First-Time Visitors
Eagles Nest
Eagles Nest is a handcrafted chinked log cabin with colonial-themed decor that captures the spirit of a Hocking Hills getaway. The private hot tub, gas fireplace, and full kitchen give you everything you need on a first trip to the area. It is a straightforward, well-appointed cabin that consistently earns high marks from guests.
Best for Winter Weekends
The Old Moonshiner
The Old Moonshiner is the only Avenwood cabin with a screened-in porch, which turns into a front-row seat for watching snow fall through the trees. The rustic moonshiner-themed interior and stone fireplace make cold-weather stays especially comfortable. Step outside to the hot tub, then warm up by the fire pit with the Campfire Bundle add-on.
