The Grande Butte Lodge Hocking Hills has a loyal following of families – not only for its size, but also for the setting and the scale of its gathering areas. It feels like home. LIVING SPACES Enter the vaulted-ceiling, main-floor gathering area – with a kitchen that features a serpentine granite island that seats 10 and a commercial freezer and refrigerator (in addition to a standard size unit with ice and water). A separate wet-bar area with lots of storage. Leather sofas surround the gas fireplace and satellite tv. Log-style furniture, plaid pillows and antler accents, support the lodge theme. The harvest table and additional seating face a wall of windows, with a door to the porch that overlooks the pool and the countryside. The lower level gathering area centers on the stone, woodburning fireplace and another satellite tv. Billiard table and four-top game tables complete the space. The lower level opens to the pool. Outdoors – two porches offer comfortable seating and views of the pool and the forested hills beyond. The pool deck has picnic tables, lounge chairs (in season), and a covered 6-person hot tub. A fire pit with built-in seating sits at the far side of the pool. (Consider having wood delivered by the Chalets’ front desk.) Gas grill is located off the kitchen. BEDROOMS and BATHS Second floor – one bedroom, with two queen beds and a half bath. Main floor – two bedrooms. A spacious king-bed room, with desk and traditional oak furniture; one queen with maple furniture; two full baths, one with laundry. Lower level – four bedrooms. A king, two queens and a bunk room with two full-size bunk beds (sleeps 8). One spacious bathroom with double-vanity sinks serves this level.
SITE As you may guess from the name, this grand log home sits in a clearing on the top of a hill, with views of the 144-acre site and the surrounding farms and wilderness. The address is Route 180. The closest park is Rock House, just one mile away. Cantwell Cliffs and Conkles Hollow are also close. Grande Butte – Hocking Hills is 9 miles from the front desk office at the Chalets Old Man’s Cave location, so online check-in is available - allowing you to go directly to Grande Butte. And ordering firewood delivery from our front desk before your arrival is recommended!
