Nestled in the heart of the Hocking Hills.... Hummingbird Holler

Hummingbird Holler is a 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home in a stunning 5 acre setting (no hot tub). The best part is we are close to everything. Old Man's Cave, Rockhouse, Conkle's Hollow, Cantwell Cliffs, Tar Hollow State Park, and even Grandma Faye's are all very close! Forget something? The grocery store is just up the road in Laurelville or Kroger is in Logan.

Hill Willie's Hideaways, LLC has tried to make this feel like home by providing internet (poor quality, but the only option), DirecTV in the master and living room on 50" and 65" TVs, and a land line. There is an Onkyo stereo that you can bluetooth and enjoy your own music (Just please keep it down after 10 for the neighbors). Karaoke Machine for more fun!
We have a huge kitchen with gas range, dishwasher, microwave, 2 coffee makers (Keurig w/pods and one that grinds your beans), complete dinner set and more!
Feel like grilling out? We have provided a gas grill! There is even a picnic shelter to sit and enjoy your fresh grilled goods down by the creek! Afterwards, relax by the fire and have some s'mores! We have a 7x10 concrete block patio by the fire pit!
The spacious master bedroom boasts a King size bed and two dressers. The second bedroom offers a queen, and the third has a set of bunk beds with a trundle bed. You can bring the whole family! The large dining room table seats 6 easily and we have extra chairs. We even have a washer and dryer for you to use.
Sitting on either of the two porches or inside with the windows open, you can hear the sounds of the small creek that lines the property. We added a 600lb capacity tree swing right by the creek in the big maple tree. You are free to roam the woods as the property lines are clearly marked by both driveways and flags in the woods. There is a short trail that goes up the back hill between the garage and the house and comes out by the shooting range. As time goes on, we will be expanding these hiking trails.
At the far end of the property you will find a shooting range if you want to exercise your second amendment rights. During the shut down, we built and installed a new shooting table for either right or left hand shooters at the 25 yard area. There are no plinking type targets to avoid ricochet and injuries.
We also added a 6 ft x 6ft dry wood storage rack. We will be harvesting wood from the property for you and try to keep it stocked.
In the spring and summer of 2020, we transplanted 1045 new perennial flowers and hostas around the property. We will continue to work on the property and listen to our guests. We added non-stick cookie sheets and oven pans after one suggestion. We added the tree swing after another.
Hummingbird Holler got it's name from the several seasonal hummingbirds that visit each year. We put out at least 7 feeders a year to make sure you will get to experience such a fun and interesting bird. If you see that a feeder is empty, we put more juice in the upper left cabinet.
Have kids? We have a high chair booster seat combo and an additional booster seat. Also just added just before 2020 could end, we put in a new Bryant furnace. We installed central air conditioning April 2021.
You can spot Hummingbird Holler from a good distance as we have 2 of our signature pink concrete deer marking the driveway.
In our first year of business in 2020, we decided to address the crawlspace issue and had The Basement Authority come out to make sure you are safe. Check out the picture of what is below! It is amazing!
Escape from the city and get out and take in our fresh air! We have an isolated location for you and your family on 5 acres but it feels like so much more!
In February 2023 we added a whole house backup generator!!! It has been used a lot this year so far! Don't rent a place unless it has backup power otherwise you might not have water either!
And November brought a renovated bathroom. Hopefully 2024 brings a new master bathroom!
Come on down, according to a recent review... "Best kept secret in the (Hocking) Hills.... Such a blast to poke around the vast property" October 22nd, 2023....and that's before we renovated the bathroom!!!!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

4th year?
We’ve been coming to stay in this cabin every year since just after covid. One year I think we visited in the fall and the spring. It’s an awesome place and centrally located to so much: hiking, OU, Columbus and for us… family. The cabin is perfect. It’s roomy, well equipped for outdoor and indoor recreation, and clean. Don’t hesitate in booking this one! And go to the Ridge Inn for dinner. :)

If you like peace and quiet this home is for you. Very clean and spacious. The yard is nice and there is even a trail to walk on the property. I would suggest you bring your own pillows if you don't like hard pillows but otherwise everything was perfect.

Peace and Quiet
Very nice house and property. Owner provides lots of amenities. Furniture and beds are very comfortable. Loved the porch swing and the rocking chairs on the front porch. Our 2 complaints are the bathroom fan is really loud and would love a paper map of the area. My GPS took us down some pretty scary roads and had us pull in to people's driveways and a campground looking for Old Man's cave! Got to Old Mans' cave eventually and asked for a paper map! LOL I left it in the cottage in the living room with the other brochures. Would definitely recommend.

Great Location
We enjoyed our stay, great location to the trails, quiet and private. Utilized the fire pit and grill. Only complaint was a few dirty dishes had been put away and a used towel was left hanging in the bathroom. Otherwise the house was very clean.

Awesome Weekend Away at a Fantastic Home
We spent this past weekend at Hummingbird Holler and it was the perfect home away from home. Me and my 3 girlfriends had a great time. The home was very clean. The listing was accurate. It was close to hiking. We couldn’t ask for a better place. I’m already looking at the calendar to rebook with my husband and 2 teenage daughters for next year. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Perfect!
From the easy to spot pink deer driving up to the property, to checking out, everything was thought of. We loved this property, it was beautiful and every small detail was thought through. We had dry wood for a fire with smores even though it sprinkled, because the wood is covered. We had targets for the shooting range, coffee for the keurig, a bandaid when necessary, and games to play. Everything is clean, there's a binder with instructions for anything you wondered about, and communication was great. We were offered early check in and late check out because there wasn't anyone coming in the next day. Perfect stay. THANKS

This was our 2nd time staying and won't be the last! Kevin was quick to answer any of our needs and is the perfect host. Our favorite memories are drinking coffee on the porch and being greeted by more hummingbirds than we can count, target practice at the shooting range, and finishing the day relaxing by the firepit. Hummingbird Hollar is truly is a hidden gem. We can't wait until next year...if not sooner!

Relaxing stay in the woods
We absolutely loved our 1 night stay at hummingbird holler. Wish we could’ve stayed longer, but we were coming back from weeklong vacation in West Virginia And just needed to stop off for the night. We had heard good things about the Hocking Hills area and decided to stop for a day, do some hiking, and stay nearby. Enjoyed our night at the house playing on the grounds outside and enjoyed a bonfire under the stars. Very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Would certainly stay again if we ever come through the area.

Great place for Our 31st Anniversary
The property was lovely and quiet. Like a home away. Location close to all the Hocking Hills hiking places. With many food allergies, we were able to cook all breakfasts and suppers, carried our lunches. We spent some time one evening at the house and had a campfire. Lovely visit. Highly recommend.
