Settlers Roost

Settlers Roost channels the spirit of the pioneers who first settled these hills. A wraparound deck gives you porch time from almost every angle of the cabin, with a rope hammock out front and rocking chairs for slow mornings with coffee. Inside, a stone gas fireplace anchors the pine-paneled living room, flanked by a leather loveseat and a rustic log coffee table. Western artwork and antler mounts carry the frontier theme throughout. The loft bedroom sits above the main floor with a queen bed dressed in a handmade patchwork quilt, and the open railing lets warmth rise from the fireplace below. The full kitchen has pine cabinetry, granite countertops, a four-burner electric stove, and a double sink with a window looking out into the woods. A log dining table with matching chairs rounds out the eating area. The bathroom includes a bathtub with a handheld shower, plenty of towels, and pine-paneled walls. Out back, the covered deck holds the private hot tub with a ceiling fan overhead and views straight into the Hocking Hills canopy. A stone fire pit with a metal grill grate sits in the yard, along with a charcoal grill for cookouts under the trees. Settlers Roost is well suited for couples who want a self-sufficient stay with a rugged, lived-in feel. Pets are welcome, and the flat rate covers all your pets for the entire stay. This cabin rewards those who like to sit on the porch and let the evening come to them.

Settlers Roost is built up on a raised foundation, so the wraparound covered porch sits above a grassy slope that drops toward the tree line. The log-style siding and American flag set the tone from the driveway, and the porch looks down into the yard with a clear view into the forest beyond.
