The Cliffs at Hocking hill sits on 100 acres directly adjacent to some of the most beautiful hiking destinations in the Midwest. Cantwell Lodge + The Swimming Hole are located on a 10 acre section of the property that is private and accessible only to Cantwell Lodge guests.
Located on the opposite end of our 100 acre property are the bungalows and Sandstone Falls, accessible only to bungalow guests. Adjacent to Sandstone Falls there are three 2-bedroom bungalows, each with their own private deck, hot tub, and stunning views of nature. Our 3-bedroom bungalow, which is currently under construction and available to rent starting May 30, 2025, is a short boardwalk stroll to Sandstone Falls as well, but is private from the existing 2-bedroom bungalows. It also has a private hot tub and deck. We plan to add 4 studio bungalows in the coming years. Each of our bungalows has access to Sandstone Falls and The Lookout, which is a common building overlooking the falls. -

Yes! We have recently opened Sandstone Falls, which is a completely unique natural swimming pond built into the gorgeous sandstone on our property. There is a large deck surrounding the falls as well as a sauna. The Lookout is an 800 square foot common building overlooking The Falls. Sandstone Falls and The Lookout are adjacent to the bungalows.
Sandstone Falls is open from May-October. However because of the integration with the stone and waterfalls guests should not expect a swimmable temperature in the cooler months, particularly May & October. In the cooler months you can think of Sandstone Falls as a completely unique cold plunge experience. Even in the summer months, the water may be cool depending on the weather.

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.

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.
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.
-
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.
