Cedar Hill Lodge – Spacious Comfort in the Heart of Hocking Hills. Cedar Hill Lodge is the largest and most spacious lodge in the Cedar Grove collection, thoughtfully designed to host large groups while still offering comfort and privacy. With over 5,000 square feet of living space, seven bedrooms, and accommodations for up to 30 guests, it is the perfect destination for family reunions, retreats, weddings, and getaways with friends or colleagues.
Gathering Spaces: The lodge was created with togetherness in mind. Multiple living areas provide plenty of room to gather, whether you’re hosting a big family meal, playing games, or simply relaxing by the fireplace. The open-concept design allows for a natural flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, making it easy to stay connected while enjoying different activities.
Bedrooms & Comfort: Seven well-appointed bedrooms are spread throughout the lodge, offering both comfort and privacy. Each space is designed to give guests a restful retreat after a day of exploring the Hocking Hills. The lodge sleeps up to 30 people comfortably, with a mix of king, queen, and bunk-style accommodations to suit a variety of group needs.
Outdoor Living: Step onto the panoramic porch and take in sweeping views of the rolling Hocking Hills landscape. The scenery changes with each season—from spring wildflowers to autumn leaves and winter snowscapes. Enjoy a quiet moment on the porch swing with your morning coffee, relax in the bubbling hot tub, or gather around the fire pit as the sun sets. Outdoor amenities also include a spacious yard and areas for games like corn hole, making it easy to blend relaxation with recreation.
Entertainment & Amenities: Inside, Cedar Hill Lodge offers more than just a place to sleep. Entertainment options include a pool table and a private movie theater located on the lower level, complete with reclining seats and a 106” projection screen—perfect for movie nights, game days, or family sing-alongs. Whether you’re looking for quiet relaxation or lively group activities, the lodge is equipped to keep everyone entertained.
Location & Surroundings: One of the lodge’s biggest draws is its prime location in sight of the Old Man's Cave State Park land. Just minutes away are many of the area’s most popular hiking trails, waterfalls, and attractions. Guests can spend their days exploring caves and cliffs, then return to the comfort of the lodge for evenings filled with laughter, stories, and relaxation.
Perfect for Every Occasion: Cedar Hill Lodge is ideal for large family gatherings, reunions, weddings, church or corporate retreats, and celebrations of all kinds. Its combination of spacious common areas, private bedrooms, and indoor/outdoor amenities makes it versatile enough to accommodate groups with a wide range of needs and interests.
