Springwood Hocking Hills Cabins

We stayed over the weekend after dropping our oldest son off at Ohio State University. The cabin was clean, well-​maintained and perfect for our getaway. The proximity to Old Man’s Cave was great and we enjoyed the fire pit and lounging in the hot tub. Not to mention, it is pet-​friendly and our dog was treated like royalty (extra homemade treats to take back to Pittsburgh). We will definitely be back!

My fiancée and stayed here (at the Butterfly Trail cabin) recently to celebrate our engagement and after looking through all the great options for cabins in the area, this was definitely the right choice.
From the moment we drove up to the cabin our experience was absolutely perfect. The cabin itself is nestled into a private wooded area directly next to a trail, so you get that wonderful ‘cabin in the woods’ feel from the start. The interior was really cozy and smelled of pine as soon as we walked in and each of the two bedrooms was cozy as well. A great, personal touch to the cabin was the wine corks that line the top of the doors as each guest puts theirs up — lending a personal feel to the history of the cabin.
Outdoors, there was an awesome hottub on the back porch — at night, you can turn on string lights which lend an amazing ambiance complimentary to the night sky overflowing from above.
We had 0 complaints or negatives about our stay, kitchen was well stocked with utensils, etc, and everything was clean and cozy. We couldn’t say more about how wonderful our stay was, it was one of the best vacations I’ve ever had as well as perhaps the most relaxing and zen weekend of my life staying at the cabin. For anyone looking for a cozy and peaceful weekend getaway, I would highly recommend Springwood Cabins and Butterfly Trail.

The reviews out here are old. There are several more current reviews on Trip Advisor. I stayed at Spring Wood cabins in August 2014. The cabins are clean and well maintained. They have many nice amenities. The owners are friendly and wanted us to feel welcome — they made sure to let us know if we need anything.
There is a small fishing pond, that is very peaceful to fish or just sit close by.
They are in a great location — secluded, yet close to the parks.
When we return to Hocking Hills we will definitely return to Spring Wood, T

We have stayed at Springwood Cabins 3 times already and expect to stay many more times. Everything has been exceptional and the owners more than accommodating for any last minute needs. We have only stayed in The Rose and Butterfly Trial, love both and expect to try some other cabins. The Rose has the most wonderful view, huge beautiful floor to ceiling windows on 2 side, Cathedral ceiling, a great hot tub to view the night sky, and an excellent kitchen for 2 gourmet cooks and all our supplies (French Truffles to simple garden lettuce). This is a romantic, peaceful for reading, writing, listening to classical or any music. Although the parking is not next to the cabin it is so close that even with tons of foods for a weeks stay and loads of books it was not an issue. Tip– bring wine and enjoy!
Butterfly trail has two regular bedrooms and a cosiness that is most enjoyable & we are staying there again over the Christmas holiday. A beautiful time in Hocking Hills. A warm fire, wine, food and relaxation. There is some cold & mud in H Hills park but the frozen beauty more than makes it worthwhile. We always bring our 2 dogs and the cabins are designed for them with all wood floors etc. We hope to get enough people for a stay in the cabin overlooking the pond sometime. I highly recommend.

My wife and I stayed at Springwood Cabins before and actually had a good time — while we were there the first time they were building the new cabin on the property.
We moved out West and came back to Ohio to get married. We had both fallen inl ove with Hocking Hills and decided to take a three night honeymoon in the new cabin — how cool, right?
Wrong.
The first thing I noticed when trying to unload our luggage was there was no defined space at the new cabin to park our vehicle. I mean really — there is no defined space. Having just received a piece of $ 300 luggage for our wedding we didn’t want to try and lug everything down a muddy hill about 500 – 800 feet to the cabin. So I got out of the car and looked around — I noticed a trail that had been worn down by vehicles and decided to pull up to unload our luggage. I did move a log, but didn’t think it was a big deal as I could see a defined area where other vehicles had parked.
I wasn’t planning on parking in this location just needed to unload and I was going to move it back up the hill and park in the other cabin’s parking spot. I really had no idea where to park — all the other cabins on the property you pull right up to the cabin — this one I wasn’t sure.
After carrying my first load of groceries and luggage to the cabin — I came back out and noticed my wife talking to someone near our vehicle. When I approached, I was informed by an older woman with a broom (not sure who she was at the moment) that I couldn’t park there. When I told her I didn’t know where to park she showed me the area where you are supposed to park. She told me I could unload, but I needed to get out of there asap in case it rains I wouldn’t make it up the hill. We told her that we will unload and park where she told us to park. We grabbed the rest of the luggage and came back out to get the groceries a moment later.
When I came back out I was confronted by an older dark haired woman, on a lawn mower, who screamed at me, «What in the hell possessed you to come down here?”(I won’t put it in all caps, but envision it – classy!!!) I looked at my wife as she was instantly upset. We’re exhausted and were not trying to cause any trouble. My wife told her that we are going to park in the parking space the other lady told us to park. She continued to yell as us and ask us why we would park there.
Then I told the woman that there was no defined area to park and I wasn’t going to lug all my stuff 800 feet to the cabin. She then swore at me and said, «I can make sure you don’t have that problem ever again…» I am still not sure what she meant by this — I assume it wasn’t a death threat, but instead a threat to kick us out?
The other lady at this point told the lady on the lawn mower to just come with her.
We really were taken a back at this point. Thinking this was just a bad misunderstanding (or lack of communication on their end of where to park), but it wasn’t worth the rude behavior we were receiving. I understand if you don’t want someone to park somewhere, but define a space for the cabin to park. (put up a sign)
So after the woman said she could solve our problem she swore at us a couple of other times – and then started her lawn mower and threw up her hands. I was totally dumbfounded again — wow– I’ve never allowed anyone to treat me like this before, but not wanting to ruin the honeymoon any more than it already was I just moved the car and came back into the cabin.
After that whole situation, my wife and I were never really comfortable staying in the cabin.
The cabin itself is nice and most things are new. The bed is a murphy bed (comes out of the wall) and isn’t big enough to sleep two adults comfortable.
I had prepared to cook a nice meal on the grill — the grill barely works — it can’t cook a piece of chicken if its life depended on it. So that was a bust.
The next day went relatively smooth as we had no sighting of the two women. Then the following morning, I noticed the women riding around on their lawn mowers near our cabin. Not sure what to make of it – I just went along with my business. The riding continued on and off for about an hour or two. I am not sure if they were cleaning other cabins or what, but they were riding through the same area that they told us we couldn’t park and making us feel uncomfortable as it felt like they were watching us while we were in the hot tub.
So instead of staying the night there we decided to leave a day early and find a place closer to the airport.
The owners are so rude — it made this place terrible. I am not a person to complain, but this experience matches some of the other ones I read. Listen, there are better options out there — if you run into the owners and sneeze the wrong way they might threaten you and swear at you too.
Just beware — you’ve been warned!

Everything is so clean and everyone is so nice! What more could you ask for? They also will allow pets for an extra fee, so your little friend can have fun too. The nature is relaxing and it’s just very nice. A must see and a must stay!
