Sprawling 5 Bedroom, 3 Bath Chalet on 40+ Acres with Private, Stocked Pond

Located in the Star of Hocking Hills, our gorgeous Chalet Lodge is convenient to all nearby outdoor fun, attractions, and state parks. Invite the entire family to join you on your Hocking Hills vacation when you stay at this amazing lodge. Our Chalet Lodge is a beautiful A-frame lodge that easily accommodates 16 guests with its comfortable living spaces, 5 luxurious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, game room, and great outdoor spaces.

The lodge sits on a private 4-acre manicured lawn where guests can spend time outdoors to play yard games, sit around the outdoor firepit, cook out, explore the forest, or fish the 3-acre private pond. You are centrally located to all Athens, Logan, and Nelsonville have to offer allowing you to explore all of Southeast, Ohio! Our guests are minutes from Old Man’s Cave, Cedar Falls, Ash Cave, Ohio University, and countless state lakes. Come explore, experience, and enjoy the great outdoors and the beautiful rolling hills of Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest.

You will walk into this rambling rustic A-frame lodge to a large vaulted great room and a beautiful two-story stone fireplace. The lodge has a spacious main floor, two lofted areas, and a basement made for entertainment. We provide everything for you and your guests to have a memorable Hocking Hills experience. All you need to worry about is enjoying your time away at the cabin! The kitchen comes fully equipped with all the amenities and appliances you need to cook delicious homemade meals. Grab fresh ingredients from our local Kroger or dine out at one of our favorite local restaurants.’

There is a grand dining area where you and your guests can spend quality time around the table. Instead of cooking in the kitchen, head through the French doors to the side porch where you can cook flame grilled burgers and veggies. Once you are filled up from your meal, head to the large sectional to relax and watch movies on the big flat screen TV. Put a movie in the DVD player and grab some buttery popcorn to top it off! The basement offers a great space for entertainment with a second living room, large flat screen TV, a game room with pool table and bar, and easy access to the hot tub and outdoor fire pit. There are so many rooms in this lodge, you may end up getting lost. Turn off all the lights in the lodge to play the most epic game of hide-n-seek!

Make sure you take the time to explore our 40+ acre property, which sits adjacent to 1,000+ acres of Wayne National Forest.

Stroll down the hill to the private, stocked pond for catch and release fishing, canoeing, or to simply enjoy nature. Accidentally fall asleep in the hammock (in warm months) that is set up by the firepit. After a long day of hiking and venturing into the wilderness, relax and unwind in the warm Jacuzzi.

At the Chalet Lodge, wake up and spend time outdoors! Sip your morning coffee off one of the many balconies that overlook the forest and pond. We have put outdoor furniture all around the property so you can sit back, relax, and become one with nature. You may find hidden caves and see some nearby wildlife. You cannot spend the weekend at the cabin without enjoying your evenings under the stars, making memories around a crackling fire while telling tales and roasting chocolate, gooey marshmallows. You & your guests will fall in love with this gorgeous property, the land, and open starry night sky that you will want to come back year after year. There is so much to experience, explore, and enjoy on the Chalet Lodge property itself, you may never want to leave!

Guest Reviews

Property was very nice and remote! I went with some friends and family and we had a blast! There was a lot you could do on the property without even leaving- trails, a pond for fishing or canoeing, bonfire and hot tub! We really enjoyed our stay.

We stayed here for a (social distanced) family thanksgiving. The house was very nice and big enough to keep our distance. Would definitely stay here again

Josh H. November-2020

The first two days of our trip were very rainy but the property we rented was so beautiful we didn't mind staying "home". Wish we could have stayed a few more days!

Jessi L October-2020

We spent the weekend at The Chalet and it was perfect for our group. The cabin was HUGE and equipped with everything we needed! We loved the hot tub and fire pit area. We just wished we could have stayed longer! We had a couple questions during our stay and we called the office and they were helpful and friendly throughout the entire stay. Highly recommend this cabin for large groups!

The Chalet was everything and more than expected. What really counts was the people who own the property. We checked in as Tropical Storm Laura was approaching. One of our party was lost on the back roads, on a motorcycle, in monsoon rain. Somehow the owner's son found him and guided him to safety at the Chalet. The people that own the property are caring great people. Real lifesavers in our opinion. We will always be grateful.
