What amenities are included?

We provide a fully stocked kitchen with double ovens, two dishwashers, cookware, a high end coffee maker and beans, electric griddles, microwave, and everything else that most guests will require.

We provide all beddings and towels along with extras for our guests.

The lodge is equipped with Starlink internet and several TVs with Hulu Live and Netflix. We’ve worked to provide the best internet experience possible in our location. With that said, internet speeds can vary depending on network usage and satellite locations. For most guests the internet will work well and allow them to stream HD video without issue. However both audio and video calls will experience intermittent dropouts.

How is the property laid out?

On the first story of the lodge you’ll find a large living room that includes an extra large sectional, 65” TV, and a dining room table for 12 that easily converts into a ping pong table. Additionally there is a kitchen, a den, master bedroom and bathroom, a queen bedroom, two additional full bathrooms, and a half bathroom attached to the living room.

There is an open loft on top of the den with four additional twin beds and a queen bed.

On the second story you’ll find a king bedroom and a queen bedroom as well as a shared full bathroom.

The glamping bunker/basement is home to a room with a queen bed, another room with a full bed, a sitting area, and a full bathroom. The Glamping Bunker has concrete floors, painted cinder block walls, and painted wood ceilings. We’ve made it cozy with plenty of rugs and comfortable bedding, but it is much more industrial than the rest of the lodge and not for everyone. There are no windows in either bedroom. There is an emergency exit door through the full bedroom and utility room.

The game room is a converted garage and contains some arcade games, foosball, air hockey, and a sitting area. This is a great place for kids or teenagers. The primary entrance/exit for the game room is through the glass garage door. However the living room end table slides out to reveal a secret entrance into the game room. Kids will love this. Think of it more as a ladder than a staircase as it’s a tight fit. If you’re over 6’1” and 200 lbs it will be a very tight squeeze.

How many guests can the property accommodate?

Due to safety and the unique attributes of The Cliffs we have a strict guest count of 18 people. This includes all guests aged 24 months and older.

What are the check in and check out times and days?

Guest check in is at 4 PM and check out is at 11 AM. You will receive instructions and an electronic code to unlock the door in your welcome materials. Unfortunately we’re unable to accommodate late check out or early check in.

When booking opens for a property at The Cliffs we limit check in and check out days to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. There is no limit on the length of reservation subject to availability. As open dates approach we may allow for a check in or check out on an alternative day.

Is there really a private swimming hole?

There are two seasonal waterfalls on the property. We were able to dam up the seasonal waterfall closest to the lodge and create a unique swimming experience. Think of it as a small pond and not as a swimming pool. It’s 4.5’ deep at its deepest point.

We cannot guarantee the condition of the water as there is debris and dirt that comes into the swimming hole naturally.

The swimming hole is open for swimming from May 1 through October 31. However, the water temperature will most likely be ice-bath cold in May and October.

When does the waterfall run?

The waterfall runs seasonally in the winter and spring on its own. We’ve worked to improve our pumping system so that the waterfall runs now in all seasons. Mechanical failures of our pumping system can happen, but otherwise you can expect the waterfall to be running regardless of what season you are staying.

Do you allow pets?

We have a strict no pets policy.

Do you have a senior or military discount?

At this time we do not offer a senior or military discount.

Are weddings or large events permitted?

At this time we do not allow weddings or large events at the lodge. No guests outside of your reservation are permitted on the premises during your booking.

What is the closest store?

Kroger in Logan, OH is located 12 minutes from the lodge. Walmart in Logan, OH is also located 12 minutes from the lodge.

Will I have cell service at the lodge?

Because of the terrain most cell towers do not reach the lodge. The Sprint (not T-Mobile) network does get some service even without the extender. We have a Sprint phone located at the lodge for emergencies or if the power goes out.

What are the age restrictions for guests?

All unsupervised guests must be 25 years of age or older.

How child-friendly is the lodge?

The lodge is not child-proofed or child friendly. We have many guests stay with children, but it’s important for children to be supervised during their stay. The terrain around the lodge is beautiful but it is unsafe for unsupervised children.

What activities are available around the lodge?

For guests inclined to explore The Hocking Hills area there are numerous activities available. The lodge is minutes from Cantwell Cliffs and not far from Rock House, Conkle’s Hollow, Old Man’s Cave, and Ash Cave. Many other activities like zip lining, mini golf, horse back riding, canoeing, and fishing are also available nearby.
