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.
The Cottage
Last December, Dave and I had to cancel a vacation to Nashville so we could be home to close on the purchase of the 20 acre parcel that adjoins our Marsh Hollow property. The parcel included a cozy cedar-sided home that we thought would make a great addition to our lodging business. So we stayed home, completed the sale, then spent the winter and spring bringing “The Cottage” up to Marsh Hollow standards. And when I say “we” that includes John, our son-in-law, operations manager and heavy lifter in chief.
Our improvements: new HVAC, new water heater, new plumbing fixtures, new lighting, new flooring (although we kept the loft carpet for now), new stair railing inside, new steps and stair railing outside, new patio, new hot tub pad, and mostly new furniture. Oh, and a completely renovated upstairs deck.
Hopefully, Frontier Communications will install Internet/Wifi by June 21. We don’t want to count our chickens before they’re hatched, so we are not advertising The Cottage as “Internet available” til we’ve tested it with our own devices. We’ll keep you posted on this important feature. In the meantime, there is an HDTV, bluetooth soundbar and Blu Ray player available. And a small collection of movies.
We are accepting bookings for July and on, but there’s still a bit of painting to do, and a lot of groundskeeping. Currently, we do not have a well-cleared trail from The Cottage to our existing nature trail which connects to Shadyside and Pinewood Cabins. Working on it!

Last week we stopped by the Marsh Hollow fairy house for a visit. The fairies weren’t home, but the door was wide open and the place was crammed with gifts for the fairies! Or they are starting to hoard things for the winter. We saw a package of crackers, a stick of gum and a bandaid, among some lovely pinecones, pebbles and acorns.
Later in the week we revisited, and all the non-natural things were gone. So somebody appreciated them! We have a lot of squirrels in the woods – bet they had a taste of those crackers.
If you visit Marsh Hollow with a child, be sure to take a hike up into the woods to find the fairy house. Rhea, our resident fairy, often leaves gifts for young ones.
P.S. We wrapped a candy cane striped ribbon on the fairy house. We hope they like it!
