Black Bear Hideaway is a pet-friendly, black bear-themed lodge tucked away on just over 4 wooded acres along a quiet residential road in the heart of Hocking Hills. This warm and inviting retreat features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath, making it the perfect gathering place for families and friends. Layout includes 3 queen bedrooms and 2 bunk rooms (sleeping 2 and 4 guests respectively).

Whether you’re preparing a large family meal or relaxing after a day exploring the parks, the lodge is designed for comfort and connection.

Covered front and back porches offer peaceful spaces to enjoy your morning coffee, gather for outdoor meals, or unwind in rocking chairs surrounded by wooded scenery and wildlife.

The lower-level game room provides entertainment for all ages with foosball, air hockey, ping pong, board games, and large-screen TVs with satellite programming. Outdoors, guests can relax in the 6-person hot tub, gather around the fire pit under the stars, or simply enjoy the quiet setting and fresh air.

Our stay at this property was fabulous. The decor was beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub, the firepit, and the ping pong table immensely. Our family is spread out around the country, so to get together was worth everything to us and this property provided the perfect setting.

Amazing place to stay! Attention to detail is the name of the game with this cabin! We cerebrated our family Christmas here and everything was just perfect! The cabin was decorated perfectly for Christmas, all Santa had to do was drop off the presents. We had everything we needed in the wonderfully stocked kitchen to prepare a full holiday meal. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you!
