Looking for a place where everyone — the teens, the couples, the hikers, and the ones who just want to sit by a fire — actually has a great time?
Hillside Retreat is a spacious, upscale 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom home tucked into the wooded hills of Laurelville — right in the heart of Hocking Hills. Thoughtfully designed for groups of up to 12, it gives everyone room to gather and room to disappear. The result? Real memories, zero friction.

WHAT YOU'RE WALKING INTO
The moment you pull up (and you can bring up to 6 vehicles), the stress of the drive is already fading. Step inside and you'll find an open-concept main floor built around a massive kitchen and a dining table that fits all 12 of you. The gas fireplace is lit, the hot tub is hot, and someone's already claimed the one of the sectionals.
* Hot Tub — Top-rated by guests. Soak under Ohio stars after a day on the trails.
* Game Room (New for 2026) — Pool table, ping pong, cornhole. Enough said.
* Gas Fireplace + Fire Pit — Two ways to end a perfect evening.
* Chef's Kitchen — Fully stocked. Pots, pans, plates, prep tools — everything for real meals.
* Two Living Areas + Loft — The football crew doesn't have to fight the card players. Everyone wins.
* 65"/55" Roku TVs throughout — Easy guest-mode login. No fumbling with passwords.
* High-Speed WiFi — For those who need it and those who forget to use it.
* Gas Grill — Because someone always wants to grill.

A DAY AT HILLSIDE RETREAT
Wake up to nothing but trees and birdsong. Make breakfast in a kitchen that can actually handle it. Hit the trails. Come home to the hot tub, the game room, and a fire pit that's just waiting for someone to start a s'more argument. Fall asleep in a real bed with real linens.
Wake & Repeat until your heart is content!
