Our incoming guests have cancelled their reservation for September 21 and 22 at the last minute, which means now someone else can stay here. If interested, call John at 740-499-8205. Pinewood is ready and waiting for you!
Pinewood is perfect for a couple, or a small family. Hot tub, of course, plus pet friendly.

The 2016 Indian Run is tomorrow, September 17. I’ll be volunteering at the Cedar Falls water & snack stop from about 8 am until 11:30 am. All runners, with the exception of the 5k people, will pass this relatively early stop. I am not sure what I’ll be wearing but all of us should be prepared to get wet – much needed rain is in the forecast.
It is not too late to register for the Indian Run. You can register online or you can register tomorrow, beginning at 6:30 am. Full event details are available at the Hocking Hills Tourism Association website – just click on Indian Run. While the 60k race starts at 7 am and the 40k starts at 8 am, all other races have individual starts between 9 and 11 am, so you don’t even have to get up too early. Chip timing, of course. And you can bring Fido on a leash to run, or walk with you.
Here are my tips: the stretch for 10 k runners between the Fisherman’s parking lot and Rose Lake is downhill and treacherous with roots. For all runners that stretch between Rose Lake and the campground is also pretty tricky. Every other part is nice well packed trail, with even some pavement. And the run up the road to the Dining Lodge is a lot of “up.” When you’re in a car, it feels like nothing, but believe me it’s long!
And here is this the September 15 Weekend Update, courtesy of the Hocking Hills Tourism Association. Lots going on!

P.S. Yes, that’s me in my 2005 Indian Run shirt. I think I ran/walked it in some later years, but this shirt color has always been my favorite.
To help you better determine which Marsh Hollow cabin or cottage is best for your Hocking Hills vacation, we offer video tours of Pinewood Cabin, Shadyside Cabin and The Cottage. They really provide a more complete description than simple words and photos can.
Click on the photos below to start your tour. And remember all three are pet friendly and include Wifi.

This weekend looks to be another busy one in the Hocking Hills, and that doesn’t even include all of the great hiking you can do.
Check out the Hocking Hills Tourism Weekend Update for full details (opens as printable PDF).

UPDATE: The Cottage has been booked for this weekend but there are still upcoming weekdays available.
Through no fault of its own, The Cottage is available for booking this weekend, September 9 &!0, as well as several following days.
This is the perfect time to visit the Hocking Hills without the summer crowds and before the autumn bustle.
If interested, please contact John at 614-499-8205 or at john@marsh-hollow.com.

The weeks are just flying by and it’s already time for another Weekend Update from the Hocking Hills Tourism Association. There is certainly a lot to do this holiday weekend and in the weeks ahead.
Click WEEKEND UPDATE to read.
Due to a family medical emergency, our Shadyside guests had to cancel their vacation. That means Shadyside (as of 3:45 pm this afternoon) has 5 days available at the end of August: today, August 27 through Wednesday, August 31. You don’t have to book all 5, but we do have a 2 night minimum.
If you’ve always wanted to stay at Shadyside, but are always blocked out, this is your opportunity to stay at this premier Hocking Hills cabin. Shadyside sleeps up to 6, is pet friendly and has a hot tub, of course.
Call John at 614-499-8205 or email him at john@marsh-hollow.com.
The Hocking HIlls Tourism Association’s Weekend Update is now available. I almost forgot to share it after promising that I would. It is packed with stuff to do, not only for the weekend but for the week ahead and beyond.
As an extra, here is a dining suggestion, based on my lunch with my friend Pamela today at the Hocking Hills Dining Lodge: try the Caveside salad. Baby spinach, goat cheese, toasted almonds, sun dried tomatoes, shredded carrots, onion, craisins/raisons and a champagne vinaigrette dressing. Delicious!

Every week, the Hocking Hills Tourism Association sends us a “Weekend Update” to describe upcoming events and activities. It’s actually more than a “weekend” listing because it covers many days into the future.
Here is the August 11, 2016 Weekend Update in pdf, so you can print it out and bring it with you when you visit the Hocking Hills.
And we will try to provide this every week.
We could hardly believe our ears when we heard that our telecomm provider Frontier confirmed that there were 48 new ports available in the Laurelville area. Well, folks, it was true and The Cottage now has one of them (Shadyside and Pinewood were connected several years ago.) I set up the modem/router this morning and am writing this as I’m watching the Janis Joplin documentary on Netflix on HDTV.
Might just stay here the rest of the morning!

P.S. We will provide access to Netflix and Pandora at The Cottage.
