LOST CAVERN
Modern Design, Ancient Landscape
Tucked into the sandstone cliffs of Hocking Hills — just an hour from Columbus — Lost Cavern is a modern sanctuary set deep within Ohio’s old-growth hemlock forest. Though just minutes from the region’s most iconic hikes and landmarks, each cabin feels worlds away — quiet, secluded, and perfectly at peace with its surroundings.
Choose from three private, glass-encased cabins, each perched on its own secluded overlook. Thoughtfully designed with mid-century modern flair and surrounded by raw natural beauty, every stay is a luxurious retreat into stillness, comfort, and the elements.
Perched Above. Surrounded by Wonder.
Named for its dramatic setting, The Ledge rests atop a cavern wall, gazing out at seasonal waterfalls and the shifting beauty of the landscape. Secluded and atmospheric, this moody retreat blends mid-century charm with industrial edge — all wrapped in quiet luxury.
Inside, you'll find designer furnishings, radiant-heated floors, and a sculptural Malm fireplace that anchors the space. Step outside to expansive patios, a Solo Stove for fires under the stars, and a private hot tub built for seven.
The Ledge is made for those who crave views, privacy, and a space as bold as the land around it.

Modernism Meets the Wild
Step into The Study — a breathtaking glass retreat designed for full immersion in nature without sacrificing an ounce of comfort. Inspired by Philip Johnson’s iconic Glass House, this 360-degree floor-to-ceiling glass sanctuary invites the outdoors in, offering uninterrupted views and a seamless connection to the landscape.
Mid-century modern design anchors the space, from Douglas fir beams to radiant-heated concrete floors textured to echo the surrounding sandstone. A hand-built shower, crafted from rocks sourced from nearby Lost Cavern, adds a grounding, tactile touch. Inside and out flow together effortlessly, with patios that extend the living space beneath the open sky.
Here, design doesn’t compete with nature — it enhances it.
