This 13,800+ SF timber-frame lodge is situated on approximately 70+/- wooded acres in the Hocking Hills tourism corridor, less than five miles from Hocking Hills State Park and 55 minutes from Columbus. The property draws from a drive market of more than 15 million people within 3.5 hours, in a region that attracts roughly 4 million visitors annually.
Constructed by master Amish craftsmen and completed in 2023, the lodge features large-scale white oak timber construction, SIP wall panels, a 50-year steel roof, and WarmBoard radiant heat throughout. Three finished levels include multiple gathering areas anchored by a two-sided stone fireplace, extensive outdoor decking, stone terracing, and two ceremony decks overlooking a private 3/4-acre stocked lake.
The configuration includes four primary en-suite bedrooms and four apartment-style suites, each with a full kitchen and two bathrooms, supporting operational separation and flexible hospitality use. The property is currently operating as a large-group short-term rental and event venue with an active wedding and events business.
Set on 70+/- acres of mature timberland with a newly cut trail system, 1/3-mile private approach lane, and 40-50 car gravel parking, the property offers meaningful room for additional hospitality units. The site is bordered by State Forest on one side and 160+ acres of contiguous private ownership on a second boundary, providing natural privacy and buffer. Additional acreage within the owner's broader landholding may be available to the right buyer.
A second operating hospitality property exists within the same private landholding and may be available in conjunction with this acquisition for the right buyer. Interested parties should inquire directly for details. Asking price for this property is $6,300,000.
