Set on more than two and a half acres, Nido Cabin provides a log cabin getaway just minutes from Hocking Hills attractions. Unplug or stay completely connected via 250 mbps WiFi. We hope your stay at Nido provides rest, relaxation, and a whole bunch of memories to bring home with you.
Nido (pronounced like neat-o) is Spanish for "nest," and our aim is for you to land in comfort in this cozy cabin.
BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS
The cabin has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The first-floor master bedroom with attached bathroom features a king bed, walk-in shower, and jetted tub. The second-floor rooms each feature a king and a twin. A full bathroom with a tub/shower combo is located off a short hall between the second-floor rooms. The larger of the rooms also includes a small desk.
OTHER INTERIOR AREAS
Relax in the main room on the first floor around a wood-burning stone fireplace and 55" smart TV. Then head downstairs to the basement lounge to play an arcade-style Ms. Pac Man game or an assortment of board/card games you can enjoy around a wood-burning stove.
A fully equipped kitchen offers your typical dishes and silverware (including kid-friendly options), stainless steel pots and pans, knife set, stove/oven, toaster oven/air fryer, crockpot, electric griddle, hand mixer, blender, mixing bowls, ice cream scoop, pizza cutter, pizza stone, corkscrew/bottle opener, can opener, and more. We leave cabinet space open for guests to store their own food/supplies.
Sip a drink from the hot beverage bar in the kitchen that includes a 12-cup drip coffee maker and an electric kettle to make an assortment of provided hot beverage options, including ground coffee, tea bags, hot cocoa, and hot cider. We provide a coffee grinder for guests wanting to bring their own beans to grind.
EXTERIOR
Unwind on the porch swing or rocking chair on the covered front porch that runs the length of the cabin. Then fire up the five-burner propane grill on the back deck to enjoy a meal together around the 8-person deck table that overlooks the wooded back yard. Relax in the seven-foot hot tub on the back patio located just outside the walk-out basement. Set up a game of cornhole with the provided boards and bags or take a walk around the wooded grounds to check out the property's creek.
CONVENIENT LOCATION
Nido Cabin sits minutes from local spots to experience all Hocking Hills has to offer through hiking, fishing, canoeing/kayaking, zip lining, rappelling/rock climbing, visiting a winery, shopping for antiques, and more.
With Kroger and Wal-Mart each less than 10 minutes away, our location allows you to experience a cabin getaway without losing the convenience of being able to quickly grab groceries or pick up something you need.

Other things to note:
Cell service is very spotty in the area, but most guests do not have trouble with cell service at our cabin. We also have excellent WiFi, so we recommend setting up your phone for WiFi calling if you have trouble and would like to text/call out/receive calls during your stay. Given the rural setting, internet outages happen a little more frequently than in urban areas, and these outages are outside our control.

- a smart lock for quick check-in and an individualized code for key-less access during your stay,
- a Ring doorbell* for check-in assistance if needed,
- an automatic kitchen faucet for hands-free use,
- WiFi mesh network for more reliable and extended WiFI coverage,
- smart switches for more convenient access,
- integrated smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and flood/freeze sensors to help prevent emergencies,
- side-entry security camera*
