Woodland Retreats Lodging & Events
Welcome to Woodland Retreats — a place built for being together.
On our 230 private acres in Hocking Hills, you’ll find two spacious large-group lodges — Hocking Manor and Timberframe Lodge — designed for families, retreats, and groups who want a comfortable home base in the beauty of nature.

Kids head straight to the indoor pool or the lake. Grandparents claim their cozy spot. Someone starts coffee. Someone else starts a game. And before long, everyone’s relaxing and reconnecting in a way that just doesn’t happen in smaller rentals or hotel-style lodging.
Many of our guests return year after year, telling us:
“We didn’t want to leave… and we’re already planning next year.”

Why Woodland Retreats Works So Well for Families & Large Groups
This is what makes staying here different — and why families return year after year.
Designed for Being Together
Both Hocking Manor and Timberframe Lodge are true large-group homes, not converted rentals or resort-style properties. Everyone stays under one roof, with shared kitchens, big gathering spaces, and plenty of room to spread out when needed.
Room for Every Generation
Kids head straight for the pool, lake, or game spaces. Adults gather around the kitchen, decks, or firepit. Grandparents settle into cozy seating and peaceful views. Everyone finds their place naturally — without feeling crowded.
Indoor Outdoor Spaces (No Matter the Weather)
Rain or shine, there’s always something to do. Indoor pools, game rooms, and large common areas pair perfectly with hiking trails, lakes, patios, and wide-open outdoor spaces.
Everything On-Site
Many families tell us they never leave the property — and love it that way. Fishing, hiking, paddle boating, stargazing, outdoor games, fire pits, and wide-open lawns mean less planning and more time together.
Easy Check-In, Easy Check-Out
We use a Touch Stay digital welcome book with everything you need during your stay — directions, house details, local tips, and simple check-out instructions. Guests consistently tell us how smooth and stress-free the process feels.
Privacy You Can Feel
Set on 230 private acres, Woodland Retreats offers space, quiet, and a sense of calm that’s hard to find. No neighbors, no shared spaces with strangers — just your group, together.
Thoughtfully Stocked & Well Cared For
From kitchens and linens to seating and amenities, our homes are intentionally set up for large groups. Guests often comment that they “never had to ask for a thing.”
The Result?
Families arrive, settle in quickly, and truly relax.
We hear it all the time:
“This felt like home.”
“We didn’t want to leave.”
“We’re already planning our next stay.”
We look forward to welcoming your family.
What Families Say About Staying at Woodland Retreats
Real reviews from real family gatherings at Hocking Manor & Timberframe Lodge
“Perfect for our large extended family.”
Hocking Manor
“This was the perfect place for our large extended family women’s trip. We filled the house with laughter, fun, and wonderful memories. The pool was used nonstop, the towels and linens were top notch and plentiful, and the home was beautifully clean and seasonally decorated. Thank you for allowing us to share in your gorgeous home.”
“Amazing long weekend with the whole family.”
Hocking Manor
“The house is huge, stunning, and extremely well equipped and organized. We celebrated a milestone birthday with our entire extended family and had plenty of space for everyone. We spent time in the pool, cooked meals together, played games, and went on local hikes. When a minor maintenance issue came up, it was handled immediately. The checkout instructions were straightforward and stress-free. A beautiful and functional home for a wonderful family trip.”
“Perfect place for a large family gathering.”
Hocking Manor
“Our family celebrated a retirement here with 22 people ranging from ages 6 to 70, and there was more than enough room for everyone. The kids loved the game room, fishing in the pond, and swimming in the pool. The setting was secluded and scenic, with hiking trails, a cozy firepit, and friendly horses. We highly recommend Hocking Manor for large groups looking to truly get away together.”
“Incredible property — we didn’t want to leave.”
Timberframe Lodge
“Our stay at Timberframe Lodge was just perfect. The cabin is huge, stunning, and incredibly spacious. We spent most of our time on the patios and playing games in the yard by the lake. Check-in and check-out were easy and seamless, and we had the very best time. This is one of those places you wish you could stay longer.”
“Perfect for our family reunion.”
Hocking Manor
“Hocking Manor was PERFECT for our family reunion with 20 adults and 5 children. The indoor pool was the selling point for us and kept the kids happy no matter the weather. The grounds are beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the horses and the scenery. The owners were easy to work with and made sure everything we needed was taken care of. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was.”

Lovely and very peaceful place to go this place.
Hocking Manor was PERFECT for our family reunion, with comfortable accommodations for our group of 20 adults and 5 children! We loved the house and appreciated all of the extra amenities provided by the owners. Having an indoor pool was the selling point for me, as I wanted to make sure the kids would have something to do if the weather didn’t allow us to enjoy the outdoors. The grounds are beautiful and we loved that there was plenty of seating for everyone to be outside at the same time, watching the horses and enjoying the amazing setting. The owners were easy to work with, making sure all of our needs were met. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was! Barb Coyle
We stayed at the Hocking Manor for a family reunion over Easter. This location was perfect for our family of 13 adults and 6 kids. The home itself had plenty of sleeping rooms, bathrooms, and a very well stocked kitchen. The weather was beautiful most of the weekend and we loved having all of the outdoor seating options and the fire pit. The indoor pool was a favorite amenity for the kids. There were so many things to do on site, we did not even leave the property. We took a great hike, did some catch and release fishing, rode in the paddleboat, stargazing, played in the game room, and plenty of relaxing and catching up with family. Everyone also loved feeding the many animals- horses, sheep, donkey. And they even caught (and released) some toads. Overall, this was a fantastic family gathering. Hocking Manor was a peaceful site for us to gather, cook, entertain, and enjoy our family time.
This place is really nice plenty of rooms and bathrooms. Huge kitchen, and utensils. Very nice hiking places. Especially was really clean.
