What Are the Best Things to Do at the Cabin for a Romantic Trip?

How Much Should You Plan on a Romantic Trip to Hocking Hills?
Hocking Hills has plenty to explore — Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Cedar Falls — but the best romantic trips leave room to do nothing. Wake up slow, take a morning walk on the gnome trail, have a long breakfast, decide what you feel like doing. The trails will still be there if you get there at noon.
What Small Details Make a Cabin Getaway Feel Special?
Bring your favorite wine or sparkling water. Pick up a few special groceries — good cheese, fresh bread, something for breakfast you wouldn't normally make. Light some candles if you have them. The cabin handles the rest.
Romantic trips don't require grand gestures. They require getting out of the routine and giving each other your full attention. A private cabin in the woods makes that easy. Browse the photo gallery to see the property.
