Want to fish? There’s a pond that’s filled with channel catfish. Guests can also go hiking or ride ATVs on the many trails that cross through the property.

Best Modern Cabin: Box Hop

Buy from Airbnb.com

Not feeling the rustic look of traditional cabins? Book a stay at the Box Hop, a super modern rental built from three recycled shipping containers.

Located in Rockbridge, in the Hocking Hills, the space has an industrial vibe, softened with details like a gas fireplace, wood furnishings, and large windows that let nature in. Gather on the roof deck for sunbathing, take a relaxing soak in the hot tub, and sip cocktails around the outdoor fireplace.

Best Luxury: Branch Hill Cabin

Buy from Airbnb.com

It might be called a cabin, but Branch Hill Cabin feels more like a luxury lodge than a rustic, simple log edifice. It still has all the wood elements you desire from a cabin stay, but the design is elegant, with leather sofas, antler chandeliers, and antique furnishings.

The rental sits on the Branch Hill Estate, a working equestrian farm in the quaint town of Loveland. Be sure to chat with the owners to meet some of their animals.
