Creating magic even in the midst of chaos.

Stepping inside, you’re welcomed by the serene queen bedroom, thoughtfully designed for comfort and rest. A custom-built twin bunk adds both charm and additional space for two more guests. Just off the bedroom, the beautifully tiled full bathroom feels like a private spa retreat—complete with complimentary toiletries should you need anything during your stay.

Welcome to the The Hocking Hills Treehouse Resort
Creating magic even in the midst of chaos.
Step into a sanctuary of warmth and simplicity, where modern design meets serene comfort. Inspired by the Danish concept of “hygge,” this Scandinavian-style treehouse welcomes you with a private hot tub on the upper deck, a suspension bridge, and a rock formation patio that feels like a natural spa retreat. Inside, the clean lines, neutral tones, and cozy textures offer a calm escape for up to six guests. Whether you're sipping cocoa or stargazing from the rooftop deck, The Hygge Treehouse is your forest haven of peace and style.
Sleeps 4–6: queen bed, bunk beds, daybed trundle
As you make your way across the gently swaying suspension bridge, you arrive on the rooftop deck where your escape truly begins. A steaming five-person hot tub awaits beneath the treetops, alongside an elegant outdoor dining table for six—perfect for lingering meals under the stars.
Stepping inside, you’re welcomed by the serene queen bedroom, thoughtfully designed for comfort and rest. A custom-built twin bunk adds both charm and additional space for two more guests. Just off the bedroom, the beautifully tiled full bathroom feels like a private spa retreat—complete with complimentary toiletries should you need anything during your stay.
Venture down to the lower level where the heart of the treehouse comes alive. A fully stocked kitchen—with curated spices, premium oils, and fresh coffee pods—invites you to create memorable meals. Gather at the handcrafted dining table with its custom bench, designed to seat your group of six with ease.
Also on this level, a cozy daybed nook offers the perfect place to curl up with a movie, dive into a good book, or drift off to sleep—accommodating two additional guests in comfort.
Step outside onto the lower patio and discover even more magic: a 22-inch electric Blackstone grill for outdoor cooking, and your very own private rock formation, waiting to be explored and enjoyed.

Perfect place for car camping and exploring the Hocking Hills region! Had no problem getting to our site even with slightly balded tires and some mud. Lovely property with towering hills surrounding you. In early November there wasn’t much foliage and so you can see the house and the other campsites but we were the only ones so it was no problem. Great fire ring, picnic table, and a nice love seat rocking bench. Was able to get WiFi by walking up near the house and the property was peaceful without any commotion! Our animals loved it too and really wanted to explore the hills and trails.

We loved camping at Hilltop over Halloween weekend. We went hiking in Hocking Hills on Saturday and had trick or treaters and decorated and won the best decorated contest! Karen was very thoughtful and had breakfast on Saturday morning. The only thing that I would change is the site itself. Some weren’t level but we adjusted our camper to be level. Bath house was great and clean with showers. We loved the dog park all fenced in at the top.

I spent 3 nights at Campsite #2 and my only wish is that it had been longer! The land is near some main roads but there's no intrusive traffic noise. This location is perfect for its proximity to amazing state and regional parks (check out Conkles Hollow, seriously under-appreciated beauty). Margie and Todd are excellent hosts and they've done so much to bring small perks to otherwise primitive camping experience. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

The host was also gracious enough to come up and jump our car early in the morning after the kids left a light on all night!
