The OG Box Hop
The Original Hocking Hills Pet Friendly Cabin
The 3-Bedroom Hocking Hills Cabin That Started It All
ABOUT THIS HOP
In 2018, Emily and Seth Britt followed their intuition and built something that didn't exist yet in Hocking Hills: a home made from three intermodal shipping containers. They called it the OG, because it was the very first of its kind in the region. Six properties later, the OG is still a guest-favorite.
Perched on 18.5 acres with a rooftop patio and views of the ravine below, it includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms (with a soaking tub on the first floor), and a rooftop patio you reach through an all-glass rolling garage door. It’s one of the few Hocking Hills 3 bedroom cabin rentals that also welcomes pets, so bring your entire crew, and enjoy the plethora of views.

THE SPACE
Roomy Enough for the Whole Family
Don't be fooled by the OG’s footprint. There's room for eight at the dinner table and at least three in the kitchen at one time, plus a spiral staircase connecting the decks if you want to stargaze or mix a cocktail above the treeline.
Outside, the wrap-around deck looks out over the ravine with a gas grill, a fire table, and a hanging porch swing. The 6-person hot tub is tucked among the trees nearby, making it the perfect sanctuary after a long day of adventure, which you can easily access via the hiking trails located right on the property.

THE AREA
Hocking Hills, Ohio
The Hocking Hills region sits on the Allegheny Plateau in Appalachian Ohio, primarily in Hocking County. Ancient Blackhand Sandstone shaped the cliffs, gorges, and rock shelters that define this landscape. The OG's ravine views put you right inside it. It’s located only 12 miles from Hocking Hills State Park, 5 miles from Cantwell Cliffs, and 8 miles from Rock House Trail, with zip-lining, canoeing, horseback riding, fishing, and the John Glenn Astronomy Park all within easy reach, along with local shops, restaurants, and breweries (see our local favorites here).
For pet-friendly cabins in Hocking Hills, Ohio, the OG checks every box, and the trails on the property mean your dogs get as much out of the trip as you do.

Peaceful and relaxing!
We had the best time staying at the OG. We didn’t leave the whole weekend and kids loved exploring the property, making teepees, hot tubbing and making smores by the fire. The beds were comfy and we loved our trip so much. Thank you for another wonderful time at your home!

Unique experience
Beautiful, spacious cabin in a secluded area of Hocking Hills. Close to restaurants, trails, and activities. We loved the breathtaking views while relaxing in the hot tub. It was a perfect weekend oasis!

Just What the Doctor Ordered
We needed a break, and the OG delivered. The property was warm and inviting, and we felt comfortable from the moment we opened the door. The views were spectacular, and the furniture was comfortable. We are visiting all of the counties in the state of Ohio over an extended period of time, and were able to knock six counties off of our list all within a reasonable driving distance.
