Things to Do

Some of Ohio's most beautiful country is right on our doorstep — and some of the best moments never leave the cabin porch.

Right here at Bear Run

Without leaving the property

You could fill an entire weekend and never start the car.

Pond fishing

Two fully stocked ponds — bring a rod and while away a lazy afternoon by the water.

Hot tub soaks

Every cabin has one. There's no better way to end a day of hiking than steam and stars.

Fireside evenings

Fire pits and rings for s'mores, stories and the kind of dark skies the city forgot.

Stargazing

Far from the light of town, the night sky here puts on a show all its own.

A short drive away

The Hocking Hills, at your pace

We're about two miles from Boch Hollow and roughly 15–30 minutes from the region's headline parks. A few local favorites:

Old Man's Cave

The Hocking Hills icon — a gorge trail past waterfalls, recess caves and stone bridges. Go early to beat the crowds.

Ash Cave & Cedar Falls

Ohio's largest recess cave and one of its prettiest waterfalls — both short, family-friendly walks.

Conkle's Hollow

A deep, cool gorge with a easy lower trail and a more adventurous rim loop with big overlooks.

Cantwell Cliffs & Rock House

Quieter, dramatic rock formations on the north end of the park — closest to us and rarely busy.

Boch Hollow State Nature Preserve

Our closest wild place, about two miles away — trails, wetlands and abundant birdlife.

Zip lines & canopy tours

Soar above the gorges with a local canopy-tour outfitter — a favorite for first-timers and thrill-seekers alike.

Wineries & local eats

Nearby Logan has groceries and restaurants, and the area's wineries make an easy, scenic afternoon out.

Seasonal events

From fall color to winter quiet, the Hocking Hills has something worth the drive in every season. See the festivals & events calendar.

Distances and times are approximate. In winter months, 4-wheel or all-wheel drive is recommended for the roads into the property.

Make a weekend of it

Base camp for your Hocking Hills trip.

Hike the gorges by day, come home to your own cabin, hot tub and fire by night.
