Hocking Hills State Park Cottages




While riding at The Wayne on our annual November trip, we stay at the cottages in Hocking Hills State Park. They work out nice for us as opposed to tent camping in November. Coming back to a nice, warm cottage with a hot shower is very nice and it's not any more than a nice motel room. The cottages are dated, with paneling and such, but they are still comfy. They have two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with two single beds. Also a sleeper sofa in the living room, so I think it will sleep 6 people or so. They have a kitchen with full size fridge and a bath with a shower only(no tub). They have limited cable TV, no phone(my Tracfone works there though) and a gas fireplace. Also a screened in back porch overlooks the woods behind the cottage. Cookware, dinnerware and linens are all provided. It cost us $90 a night, but the price is now $95 a night. Still not too bad for two bedrooms. There is a charcoal grill and a picnic table outside.
The road is winding and it probably takes about 20 minutes or so to get to the ride area from there but I think it's worth it. The closest town is probably Logan. There is a Walmart, various restaurants and a gas station at the exit ramp for Rt 664 off of US 33. Also this motel, Baymont Inn and Suites ,on S.R. 664, sells passes 24 hours a day and is at this exit.
