Secluded Black Bear Lodge w/ Private Pool & Hot Tub near Hocking Hills Ohio

The Black Bear Lodge is a luxurious lodge nestled in the woods of Hocking Hills on 10 acres of private acreage while still remaining close to nearby restaurants, shops, and local attractions. The lodge boasts 4 comfortable bedrooms, large living spaces, and a magnificent kitchen and dining area. The outdoor pool is one of the best features during the summer months. Traveling is a breeze when you stay with us as the lodge is fully equipped with great amenities. Property offers game room, outdoor hot tub, fire pit, and hiking trails. State Parks, lakes, canoe & kayaking, ziplining and so much more all located within a short distance from the property.

Guests will enter an inviting space that makes you feel like you are home away from home. The knotty pine walls, hardwood flooring, and wooden accents make you feel warm and comfortable. The open-concept layout makes it easy to entertain guests. The lodge comes with a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and living room. There are 4 bedrooms for guests to rest for a day of fun.

Beyond the property, the lodge is centrally located, allowing you to easily access the best attractions in Southeast Ohio. You’ll find yourself just minutes away from Hocking Hills' iconic spots like Old Man’s Cave, Cedar Falls, and Ash Cave, as well as Ohio University in Athens and several beautiful state lakes. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventures or exploring the charming towns of Athens, Logan, and Nelsonville, our lodge provides the perfect base for your adventures.

When you visit Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest, it is all about the experience! At Black Bear Lodge, we hope you & your guests spend quality time together. Cook home-made meals in the kitchen, dine around the hand-crafted dining table, or have a cookout on the back patio. Spend the evening watching movies with a large bowl of popcorn on the sectional. On cold evenings, cozy up next to the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate. The options are endless.

The expansive yard is ideal for outdoor activities. Play games with friends and family, have a cookout on the grill, or just relax around the outdoor fire pit as you enjoy the sounds of nature. The fenced-in area provides a safe and enjoyable environment for pets, so your furry companions can join in on the fun.

Spend time around the firepit roasting marshmallows and eating chocolatey smores around the crackling fire. Forget about the chaos of your everyday life for the weekend and get outdoors! The outdoor spaces are our absolute favorite. After long days of sight-seeing, you can spend time in the sun by the pool. Play games in the large, spacious yard. End your night by soothing tired muscles in the hot tub and taking in the views of the night sky and calmness of the forest.

More than I expected
Everything from location, the fact that we were 20 mins or less to stores (Antique Mall), the hot tub, and being able to sit with family and cook for family was even better. We needed to bring nothing but food.

Short Trip
My family and I made a short trip to Hocking Hills for a few days and stayed at the Black Bear Lodge. Everything was as described and it's a beautiful home and property. The pool and hot tub were great and it was great that we were able to take our dogs with us. We would definitely recommend the Black Bear Lodge to others!

Great cabin. This is our second summer staying there. Well appointed kitchen with everything you need to self cater. Pool was great! Comfy beds. We wish we could self check-in, but that’s a minor gripe!
