There are countless options for a Valentine’s Day getaway in winter, but few feel as distinctive or as memorable as a stay in our getaway cabins in Hocking Hills. A Valentine’s Day getaway is at its best when it feels personal and unhurried, a chance to step away from everyday routines and focus entirely on each other. It is about having the time and space to reconnect, plan small adventures, and settle into quiet moments and shared rhythms that are often hard to find at home.
The Hocking Hills naturally lend themselves to this kind of experience.

Once you arrive, your days naturally take on a slower, more intentional pace. Spend time exploring scenic hiking trails together, pausing at frozen waterfalls and overlooks, or enjoy an unhurried drive through the hills before returning to warm up by the fire. The area offers plenty of unique things to do in Hocking Hills for couples, but rather than filling every hour, Valentine’s Day getaways here are designed around meaningful moments. Mornings invite leisurely breakfasts, afternoons encourage quiet exploration or rest, and evenings are perfect for soaking in a hot tub or stargazing under clear skies. It is this balance of gentle activity and unstructured time that makes a romantic getaway in the Hocking Hills feel so natural and rewarding.

If you’re the type of couple that loves adventures, exploring beyond the property offers even more ways to enjoy your Hocking Hills weekend getaway. Nearby Hocking Hills State Park provides scenic hikes to waterfalls, rock formations, and overlooks that feel especially romantic in the winter months. Sharing a trail or discovering a frozen cascade together becomes part of the story you take home. If hiking isn’t your scene, consider heading out to explore nearby wineries, many of which are family-owned and operated and produce some of Ohio’s finest wines.
In the evenings, kick the romance up a notch with our signature dining experience. Each evening at our Hocking Hills restaurant features a thoughtfully prepared 6-course prix fixe menu Sunday – Friday, with a seven-course signature dinner on Saturday. Dinner is one of the most memorable parts of a stay in the Hocking Hills. Couples can further elevate the dining experience by enjoying private dinners in their cabins, for an uninterrupted night by the fire. It’s the perfect addition to your Valentine’s Day getaway!
