At the Bobcat Cabin, our guests have ample opportunity to explore, experience, and enjoy all of Athens, Logan, and Nelsonville Ohio.

The deck spans the length of the cabin making it great for outdoor entertainment.

Our guests can enjoy large family cookouts, relax in the hot tub and stargaze, or head towards the yard to the newly renovated outdoor fire pit with wooden benches, Adirondack chairs, and a swing to share stories around the campfire.

Having two Ohio University alumni in the family, we had to name one of our first cabins the Bobcat Cabin. Bernie, one of the owners, graduated from the Ohio University Graduate Program in 1990. During his time at Ohio University, he met the love of his life, Jennifer, who grew up in the local area and attended Hocking College. One of their children, Sarah, followed Bernie’s footsteps in attending Ohio University where she graduated from the program 30 years later, in 2020. Ohio University and Athens are near and dear to our hearts.

We have spent years roaming around Ohio University, Athens, and Court Street. To represent our beloved Bobcats, we have displayed bobcat carvings throughout the cabin and decorated it with Ohio décor. We want every Ohio University family to attend an OU family weekend with us at our Bobcat Cabin. Once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat! OU oh yeah.

When you rent the Bobcat Cabin, you are renting a complete experience. We like to show our guests how much we appreciate them. Our guests receive a 10% discount on their next outdoor adventure at Adventure Pro Outdoors. Book a canoe, kayak, or tube rental along the scenic Hocking River or book a guided ATV/UTV tour on Wayne National Forest to experience Hocking Hills like never before.

Amazing!!
Just as great as last year! The cabin was nice and clean, the beds were cozy, and the location was perfect for the mega tube float! Our group enjoyed our time here so much! The staff and owners are so friendly and helpful as well! I will continue to choose rentals through this company every time I'm in the area!

Already miss it!
My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at Bobcat Cabin! We attend the Mega Tube Float each year and this was perfect! Nice and close to town and Murray's Landing, while also secluded enough to enjoy a nice bonfire and the hot tub! The beds were comfy, everything was neat and clean on arrival. Great communication with staff and easy check-in/check-out. Definitely would stay here again or book other places through 1st Choice!

owner Owner's reply: Hi Leah, thank you for staying at Bobcat Cabin! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the amenities like the fire pit and hot tub. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay, as well as the Mega Tube Float! We hope to welcome you back to Hocking Hills soon!

I enjoyed every minute of it!
I love how clean it was, it felt like home! I was very comfortable being at the Bobcat Cabin. It had everything you need. My sister in law was stuck in a ditch and people driving by and seen her and stopped to help her out the ditch and that truly amazed me. It turned out to be the owner of the cabin. I would definitely stay here a million times agree!

owner Owner's reply: Thank you for staying in our Bobcat Cabin, Halley! I'm happy to hear you had a comfortable stay and found everything you needed in the cabin. We can't wait to welcome you and your guest back to Hocking Hills!

My friends and I have taken a trip to Hocking Hills every year for the past 6 years. 5 of those years have been with 1st Choice Cabin Rentals. We stay in the Bobcat cabin. I can't begin to tell you how clean the place is and how friendly the staff are. Whenever I have a question, it is answered within 24 hours or sooner. We will always use 1st choice cabin rentals!

When we arrived at Bobcat cabin, it was even more beautiful inside than the pictures online. It is deceivingly large inside!

We stayed at the Bobcat cabin and had a great time. The cabin was neat and clean and well-furnished with kitchen items. The hot tub in 30F weather was a highlight! A heads up, though, this cabin is billed as sleeping 12, and it would definitely sleep 12 comfortably six queen-sized beds plus a single day bed--but the kitchen/dining/living space is not really equipped for 12 people. E.g., there is only one dining table with five chairs that we could find. We were a group of five, so the space work

Nelsonville is a quaint little town with all the amenities you need. I would rent from 1st choice rentals in the future. We are planning on coming back next year . Possibly renting one of the other cabins that has a water feature. The literature was accurate and well informed.

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Bobcat Rental. It was clean and well maintained. Kitchen was well stocked, plenty of towels, blankets and little things that made the cabin very homey. We used the fire pit and hot tub nightly. We made some wonderful memories at the cabin and would certainly rent again. We enjoyed the Hocking Hill area immensely.

Our stay at the Bobcat Cabin
My family made plans to come to Nelsonville for a long weekend in mid-October. We made arrangements to stay at the Bobcat Cabin. We enjoyed the living spaces. It was an open concept for the kitchen, living and family room. This made it easy for all of us to have enough seating and be able to talk with each other. We planned our visit to be able to go hiking and zip lining. We had great weather and enjoyed both activities. I recommend staying here if you get the chance. I hope we will return.

Don't let the drive thru beer sign at check in bother you. Jennifer and her family were very friendly and helpful. The bobcat cabin was wonderfully modern and clean. We happily used the hot tub, bbq grill, games, kitchen... The master bedroom has no closet, not a deal breaker. A nice wardrobe would easily fit and look good too. We really liked the cabin. It's isolated and surronded by woods.

We enjoyed our stay at Bobcat Cabin. It was surprisingly spacious! The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and more.

Wish we could have spent more time there but we were attending the NMF and that kept us occupied. It was an easy drive back and forth to Nelsonville. Would definitely recommend this cabin. Thank you!

We were a group of five, so the space worked great for us, but if your group is much larger than that and it might not be workable. Also, the master bath has this gorgeous, giant bath tub, but when we tried to take a bath, we discovered the hot water heater cannot supply enough hot water to fill it. That was just a tiny disappointment, though, and overall we enjoyed our stay very much.
