Rock House

Reviewed By patriciagT6037MA - Indian River, United States

One-of-a-kind nature experience! The hike in was somewhat short-1/2 to 3/4 mile one-way, but I would say 3/4 of the trail was moderate in difficulty (especially for seniors like us!) but SO worth the effort! The Rock House was amazing! It was a good sized cave with beautifully colored rocks- reds & greens; tons of crevices, holes etc. Bring a flashlight & explore! Enjoy!

Old Man's Cave

Reviewed By MentorGrl - Concord, United States

I first visited here about nine years ago with my college aged daughter. This time, I visited with my husband. This is a truly amazing Ohio attraction. The rock formations, the forest, the trails, the caves, the water falls, they are all just mesmerizing ... and it feels like you've been transported to another space and time. There is a new visitor center that features an interesting history of the park with maps, photos and details and on how the trails were developed by the Conservation Corps back in the 1930s. We only hiked from the Upper Falls to Old Man's Cave and back to the visitor center and it took a little more than an hour. You could easily spend a half a day. And because we'd like to see the Lower Falls and the Rock House, we'll be back! It is definitely worth a visit, regardless of the time of year.

Ash Cave

Reviewed By jdenz01 - Saint Clair Shores, United States

This trail and location was by far my favorite. A nice plus is that the trail is wheelchair/mobility challenged friendly. The standard return trail goes up some into the hills so those that wish for that experience can have it, while the accessible trail also remains an option. It’s a pretty trail with lots of nature, and the sandy large Ash Cave is really beautiful. If you’re going to Hocking Hills, this is my number one recommendation from the few trails we did.

Definitely take the time to go down into the gorge if you are physically able. It was worth the steep climbs down and back up. I am terribly afraid of heights, and am certainly not in the best shape, but was able to enjoy this hike.

Christmas Treasures & Hocking Hills Candle Works

Reviewed By LordSenrab2

My wife and I stopped in here to make candles and had a great time! They open early (9/9:30) for candle making and it requires a reservation. The proprietor was super friendly and knowledgeable and helped us tailor the perfect scent combinations. We made 2 candles each for under $100! Considering we went to a place in Cleveland that charged $75+ for one candle that was a GREAT DEAL! It does take a bit for the candles to harden so we went for a nice hike and lunch and then picked up the candles on our way back to our cabin.

What a great little jewel of a place!! Great wine, beautiful outdoor lighted seating, stage with live music and excellent staff! Brian was our server and he was fantastic! Very cordial and accommodating. We were there for my wife's birthday and he made it extra special with a gift of a wine glass. We got a Chucuterie plate that was outstanding! The Peach and Raspberry wine slushies were extremely good and perfectly refreshing. I really can't say enough good about this place
