When you’re not getting lost in the beauty of the outdoors in Hocking Hills, Ohio, you can sample prohibition-era spirits that are distilling with spring water at two moonshine-tasting rooms in town. There are also plenty of other quirky and historical sites worth a stop. In this video, we explore all of this and more that will give you some incredible ideas when planning your trip.

For a relaxing sleeping experience, try staying in a private cottage or cabin at the Inn and Spa at Cedar Falls inside Hocking Hills State Park. These are well-spaced and feature forest views from wide framed windows. Although WiFi is available, there are no TVs in the rooms, so guests can decompress if they want. Note that baths are situated in the main portion of the room in the cabins, which couples will love but may not be appropriate for families or friends traveling together. Standard rooms inside the main inn are also available and more affordable. Don't skip the spa, where the treatment rooms front the forest. Try the pawpaw facial. The plant is mixed into a scrub with locally sourced oats, honey, and yogurt before blending into the skin. The onsite restaurant, Kindred Spirits, is also noteworthy. It is set up inside double-log cabins from the 1840s. The menu changes with the seasons, and meals are made from scratch.
