What is the wildlife like at the Lodge?

We do have our luxury rentals professionally exterminated, but it is not bug proof. Please remember you are in the forest, and that we have invaded their habitat, so chances are you will see insects and spiders. Fortunately, mosquitoes are only seen on the rarest of occasions.You most likely will encounter various woodland creatures such as deer, wild turkey, raccoons, squirrels, and you may even see a coyote. Do not leave food out at night; you may have uninvited animal guests by doing so.

What is Bourbon Ridge Retreat like in the winter?

Bourbon Ridge Retreat is open year round. Winter is a beautiful season. Our driveway is steep, and we do our best to keep snow and ice removed; however, 4-wheel drive may be necessary to climb the driveway when snow and ice covered. No refunds due to inclement weather or power outages, but we certainly will work with you to come and experience the Bourbon Ridge luxury. The lodges have full house generators that will keep everything going including the pool and hot tub in case of a power outage. Each cabin has its own generator so you can keep the heat, A/C, and lights on.

Very few cabins have their own private generator and with so many power outages in the Hocking Hills, it is a big advantage.
