Twosomes find it easy to reconnect surrounded by the hushed natural beauty of the Hocking Hills, where a toasty, post-trek woodland sauna pod session, a soak in their own private hot tub or a couples massage fires up the romance. The region's glittering frozen waterfalls, craggy caves, soaring rock faces and deep forests ensure quiet winter hikes with someone special that are nothing short of magical. Dramatic elevation changes and picturesque views offer endless perfect spots for a couple's selfie (or even a proposal!). Fairytale cabins, country inns and tucked-away retreats create the perfect setting to rekindle any relationship. Couples can choose from every imaginable accommodation, including tiny and container homes, a handcrafted art house, Mongolian yurts, geodomes, hillside hobbit houses, modern, airy retreats, a Scottish inn with a village of crofts, Moroccan-inspired adobes and even an old-west Conestoga wagon or a train caboose-turned-cottage.
However, the region’s 10,000 acres of dazzling unbroken natural areas and incredible cabins aren’t just for couples this February. Groups of besties often book the area's many larger cabins and mind-blowing luxury lodges for a fun-filled Galentine’s Day getaway and celebration of friendship. Families find there's no better way to strengthen their bond than with the undivided attention to one another that an escape to Hocking Hills naturally cultivates.
