Check out the Uptown College House near Ohio University because we have a great spot for you. The Hocking Hills Lodge is nestled amidst the State Park’s beauty and offers easy access to all of the attractions. As soon as you stepped foot inside, you were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. We loved the massive windows that allow you to see the expansive views of the area. There are two stone fireplaces parallel to each other which really gives it that cozy lodge feeling. The décor reflects the natural surroundings of the area and has elements that pay homage to the local wildlife, flora, and landscape.

You also have to visit the Café 22. We got a chai tea latte and our associate got a regular black coffee. This café is so convenient since it also has many grab-and-go snacks. After getting our coffee, we found a cozy spot in front of the fireplace to connect to wifi and finish up on work emails. We love that there are so many great spots for seating in the lobby area. This made it so easy to finish up on work while waiting to check in. The disc golf course is located at the lodge and currently has 9 holes. You can sign out frisbees at the front desk. There’s still a lot you can do at the lodge on a rainy day! There’s a pool table, ping pong table, and even board games. Don’t forget about the indoor pool and hot tub.
The guestroom color schemes reflect the shade of birds native to the area. We also learned that the pattern on the headboard depicts the signature tree line that surrounds the property. We had a large TV, microwave, mini fridge, and desk. The bathroom had a spacious walk-in shower and large vanity. The balcony was our favorite part. The view was stunning and we could sit out there all day relaxing. The balcony is covered which was great because we could sit outside, even during the rain. It is simply beautiful. They also have a hot tub. We also enjoy how close it is to the hocking hills!
