Treehouses, geodesic domes, A-frames, and glamping retreats tucked into the Appalachian foothills of southeast Ohio. Hand-picked stays for travelers who want something more than four walls and a roof.
The Hocking Hills region is nationally known for its dramatic sandstone gorges, recess caves, and waterfalls — but what gets overlooked is the remarkable collection of vacation rentals scattered through the hills. HockingRentals.com focuses on the stays that don't look like anything else: glass-walled domes with valley views, cantilevered treehouses, modern A-frames with wood-burning stoves, and luxury retreats where you can watch sunrise fog roll through Appalachian ridges from a hot tub on the deck.
Treehouses, geodomes, A-frames, yurts, and tiny homes. The inventory that makes Hocking Hills a bucket-list destination.
