Feel like the kingpins of Ohio's Hocking Hills, when you stay in Big Sky Lodge, on top of the world. The smiles start as you head up the hill and grow as you park and look around at the views then cross the threshold into the open, rustic living space and on through to your private pool. Big Sky Lodge is the crown jewel of the Chalet's Big Sky Ranch campus of seven cabins, sitting above private stocked fishing pond, giant old Oak trees and ridges of big pines. The drive winds past the other driveways and ends in your parking area. The campus is off State Route 93, close to the city of Logan, Hocking River access and the Hocking Hills Golf Club. Check in is 4pm. The day of arrival when your cabin is clean and ready for you, our Front Desk staff will call to let you know, then send an email and a text message with your AFrame's address, entry code and wifi information - so you can go straight there! During your stay, maintenance is available daily from 10am to 5pm. Call the front desk if there are any issues. Front Desk is available daily 8am to 7pm. The images tell the story: Breath-taking hill-top setting, for your log home retreat. Wind your way up the drive, past the Big Sky Ranch private stocked fishing pond, an old oak ravine, and a few charming red-roofed chalets, to your home away from home. LIVING AREA Enter the open-concept living space. Two seating areas – one centered on the wide, stone-hearth seasonal gas-burning fireplace and the other on the satellite tv. Four-top game table, a pair of locally-made hickory rockers, and the window-wrapped dining area where your group will gather at the harvest table. The kitchen has two large refrigerators, and is equipped with all of the essentials and many extras. Recently added - a coffee wine bar, to divert traffic from the kitchen. And big wire bins - to store your group's snacks and supplies within view. Charcoal and gas grills. Half bath. The hot tub is tucked away behind the chalet – away from the crowd but still with great views. The main attraction? The company of your friends or family. BEDROOMS and BATHS Ground floor has one king bedroom and the bunk room with two sets of full bunks – which sleeps eight. The bunk room is spacious and has a tv and an old-school arcade game console and bean bags, so it often doubles as a secondary gathering space for the kids. Attached full bath with double vanity. Upstairs three bedrooms have dormer windows that look out to the pool and views. One king-sized bedroom, one queen bedroom, and one bedroom with one queen and two twin beds. Spacious full bath with double sinks. Outside, from a broad front porch’s swing, enjoy views over your private pool and the hills and dales beyond. Moms love that there is a washroom in the pool house, that keeps to a minimum wet-feet traffic through the house. SITE Closest park to the Chalets Big Sky Ranch location is Lake Logan State Park, though there is a city park canoe launch even closer. Old Man’s Cave, Ash Cave and Cedar Falls are all close. Also, the Hocking Hills Golf Club. The Chalets front desk is 8 miles away. For your convenience, online check-in is available - so you will not need to stop by the office before heading to Big Sky Lodge.
