25 Things to Do in Hocking Hills on a Rainy Day


Relaxing in GloCabin

If you’re like me, you savor the occasional rainy day. It might not be quite as much fun when you’re on vacation, hoping to spend most of your time outdoors (if you’re truly outdoorsy, you probably embrace all kinds of weather) but we can help you make the most of an unexpected rain shower either way.


There are things to do at the Eco-Luxe cabins themselves while it’s raining but there are also lots of activities in the surrounding areas. So let's begin, here's a list of 25 things to do in Hocking Hills on a rainy day.

Carpenter's Cabin on a Rainy Day

Each cabin has its own covered outdoor sitting area -

  1. Twelve34 House has a covered outdoor kitchen with seating and table-top fire pit. The fire pit even has a bluetooth speaker! Connect and listen to your favorite tunes or simply listen to the rain falling on the trees around the deck.

  2. GloCabin has a covered hot tub and two swinging egg chairs. The view of that back deck is tear-inducing, it’s so beautiful. I can’t think of a better way to spend a rainy afternoon!

  3. Carpenter’s Cabin has four covered porches - the front deck is covered and has four rocking chairs; the back middle deck has rocking chairs and corn hole; the bottom patio has seating and a hammock with access to the hot tub (maybe you’re unbothered by rain while enjoying the hot tub?); and the third floor loft has a screened-in deck with hammock chairs. That’s my favorite place to be - rain or no rain. There’s something so soothing about those pine trees swaying in the wind and rain.

Beyond the decks -

  1. Every cabin has at least one deck of cards and board games.

  2. Every cabin has a TV with streaming services and DVD player. Maybe a simple movie day is in order.

  3. If you have little ones, they might love a game of indoor hide and seek (maybe adults need this dose of play, too?).

  4. Bake cookies or some other dessert everyone can enjoy together. (Every cabin’s kitchen is fully stocked aside from perishables.)

  5. Cozy up with a good book, one you brought from home or one you’ve found on our bookshelves.

  6. Take a nap! Our beds and linens are meant to provide you with the most comfortable and excellent quality sleep. Is there anything better than napping to the sound of rain falling?

  7. Call Cooking Genie to whip you up a seriously gourmet meal while you watch and learn from their culinary expertise. They offer a special discount code for our guests - ECOLUXE - that will knock $50 off your $200 purchase.
