Truly a one-of-a-kind experience
I cannot recommend the Zeisler Waterfall Cabin highly enough. The cabin is lovely, secluded and equipped with everything you might need for your stay, but the surrounding valley is truly spectacular and rivals anything in the nearby parks. Kurt has done a wonderful job making this incredible piece of history accessible and welcoming to visitors....

Wonderful experience with amazing views!
We love how secluded we were. We had own our little private cabin in the woods where all we could hear was the waterfalls& birds and that's all we could see too! Great place for a quiet relaxing trip, definitely recommend! Kurt was very welcoming & we even learned some history about the cabin which was cool to hear how the cabin became what it is...

A secret gem like no other.
Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations. The cabin and property are one of a kind, just breathtaking. Our host, Kurt, was very down to earth and treated us like family. We are excited to stay at the cabin again when we return to Hocking Hills next year.

Private Hocking Hills Experience
Location, location, location! Cabin situated in its own bowl surrounded by and even built on top of rock. Due to our season long drought the waterfalls were drips, but still the location gives you everything you're looking for in Hocking Hills in a view from the hot tub!

The perfect secluded getaway!
The cabin was very quiet and despite being near other houses, felt very secluded and private. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and it was very clean and comfortable. Most importantly, the location was perfect for all of the hiking we wanted to do.

I genuinely don't think this experience could have gotten any better!
We eloped here. That being said, this is not a wedding venue and will not accommodate guests. During our stay Kurt and Shelly could not have shown us more hospitality or warmth. The scenery is light years beyond what you see in these photos. This history is magnificent, and this place can only be summed up as a secluded, fairytale cabin that could...

One of the most relaxing, enjoyable weekends in years!
The Waterfall cabin is very simply one fantastic place to spend some time away. Isolated and with spectacular views, it provided an extremely relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. Off the beaten path by a ways, but SO worth the trip!

If you want to get away from the business of life and relax in a beautiful setting, then this is it.
The cabin has all the comforts of home nestled in a gorgeous natural setting. All of Hocking Hills is beautiful, but here you get that beauty without the crowds. You don't have to leave the property at all if you don't want to. Pure relaxation is the order of the day. The owners have done a wonderful job of restoring the cabin and are very...

A cozy, private, and quiet stay, perfect for 2-4 people to relax surrounded by nature and fresh air.
We are the longest stay to date, a whole 5 days. The cabin is perfect and comfortable. The area surrounding the cabin was breathtaking. This is the perfect cabin for couples or a small group of four to bond and relax.

Secluded and relaxing and comfortable
The absolute beauty surrounding you. The steps can be an issue for those with mobility issues. Don't be afraid of the composting toilet, very easy and perfect for the experience. Loved hearing/seeing the history and being able to experience the beauty.

Relaxing secluded cabin in the woods.
Very nice hosts. The cabin is quiet and was exactly what I was looking for. If you cannot climb multiple stairs this isn't a spot for you. To get to the cabin you have to walk down stairs so pack light. Review their pictures but they don't do it justice. Beautiful scenery.
Jessica

We relaxed under the trees and left rejuvenated. Enjoyed a delicious dinner under the trees.
We had our very own sanctuary. So quiet and the natural elements were spectacular. Loved the different decks and porches each with their special touches. The history of this cabin is fascinating and our host was so kind and helpful . If you want to forest bathe and commune with nature , this is your place.

The seclusion of the cabin almost made me feel like I was in the mountains out west.
I loved how quiet it was, and how cool the shade of the trees kept us on a hot summer day. The cabin itself was absolutely stunning and very comfortable. The landscape was just unmatched. The sky at night was also incredible!

The Zeisler Waterfall Cabin offered an exceptional weekend getaway in Hocking Hills!
It was really nice to meet Kurt on our way in to the cabin and learn a little bit about the history of the property. The cabin itself is very nice and the remote location makes for a very peaceful vacation spot. Of course, the waterfall was gorgeous and we loved eating meals looking out over the waterfall. Such a lovely getaway.

The view of the waterfall was amazing. The placement of thr hot tub to sit and view the falls was one of my favorite things. The rich history of the cabin & the owners just topped off the experience! Definitely making a trip back. I will say the walk back up to the car is a little steep.

It is rustic relaxation in an incredible setting.
You get the best of both worlds. You can stay around the cabin and take in the beauty of the landscape while having a campfire, sitting in the hot tub, or on the deck. Or you can explore the area- which has some amazing geological attractions.

The hot tub was fantastic for soothing the weary, post hike muscles. The cabin had everything we needed. The proprietor was friendly, attentive and informative. The only downside, to be honest, is the incinerator toilet system that creates a bit of a dirty ashtray odor after it is used. But given the location, it is understandable why it is used.
