Making a Difference Together
in Hocking Hills
♥️ At The Woodlands at Hocking Hills, we believe that travel can do more than offer rest — it can build connections, strengthen communities, and create lasting impacts. ♥️
Thanks to the support of our incredible guests and partners, we’ve been able to turn our community-focused travel vision into real action.
Here’s what we’ve accomplished TOGETHER since 2021:
Intentional Stays
Intentional Amenities
Greater Impact
Giving Back 5%
‘The Woodlands at Hocking Hills’ has become more than a vacation rental and a place to get away for our family. It has taught us about grit, perseverance, taking risks, and working together. It has made us stronger as a family. We genuinely believe this journey is bigger than the five of us. Our ultimate vision is to integrate our “homes in the hills” with our passion for people.
Our children have each chosen a charity that they want to support. We are excited to give 5% of each rental back to one of these worthy organizations. We love the idea of all of us working together to help others, and YOU get to choose where your money goes by picking one of these three charities to support:

“I chose Special Olympics because of my love for sports and I want everyone to have the opportunity, regardless of ability, to play a sport they love.”
Amenities That GIVE BACK
We’ve partnered with like-minded businesses to provide high-quality amenities while giving 5% back to Compassion International. Through this partnership, our family now sponsors a child named Yised from Colombia.
These give-back products include Coffee, Paper Products, Soap, Bedding, Dishware, Lighting, and Glassware. Every item has been carefully chosen not only for its quality but also for its impact.
