Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls

The honest review

Most Hocking Hills lodging is a cabin, full stop — you book it, you cook in it, and you drive to the trailhead. The Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls is the exception: a genuine small resort at 21190 State Route 374 in Logan, Ohio, bordered on three sides by Hocking Hills State Park, with an on-site restaurant (Kindred Spirits, housed in two original 1840s log cabins) and a dedicated spa building, also built from period log cabins. That combination — real dining and real spa treatments alongside the cabin stays — is unusual in a region where most operators are purely self-catering.

The lodging mix is the widest in the area: classic 1840s log cabins that sleep up to six, romantic cottages with gas log stoves and in-room whirlpool tubs for two, Pacific-style yurts, and contemporary geodomes for a different kind of glamping experience. Complimentary breakfast comes with every overnight stay in the cabins, cottages, yurts, and geodomes — a genuine value-add compared to fully self-catered cabin rentals elsewhere in Hocking Hills. The green-certified property takes its woodland setting seriously, and the location puts guests within a short drive of Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, and Cedar Falls itself.

The honest tradeoff: with 1-2 bedroom cottages and yurts as the bulk of the inventory, this leans toward couples and small families rather than large groups — bigger families will want the multi-bedroom lodge-style units specifically, and should confirm availability before assuming a fit. Rates span a wide range, from around $135/night for a basic room up to $300+ for premium cottages and larger cabins, plus resort-style extras (spa treatments, dining) add up quickly if you use them. For a family that wants hiking access plus the convenience of not having to cook every meal, this is the strongest all-around pick in the region.
