Fee-Free Booking — Save 6% to 20%

Book direct with confidence — and save.

Are you overpaying by 5% to 20% every time you travel?

We know there are many options available to you when booking a Hocking Hills cabin or lodge. Not only are there many different lodging options, but there are choices as to how you book your stay. Sites like HockingHills.com, AirBnB, VRBO, Expedia, Booking, etc. charge a fee to cover the costs of their platform. As a traveler you may not always see the fee detailed on your bill — these fees can be 20% or more.

These same platforms may also make false claims of the guaranteed lowest pricing available. When staying with Cabins by the Caves, we guarantee the lowest price is available by reserving your stay on this website.

Feel confident and book directly with the owners. We are not a booking site — we're the actual owners of the property you've chosen. We take great pride in hosting our guests and maintaining the property for your enjoyment. Here are just a few things to consider when booking your next cabin stay:

Book direct to save money

We guarantee that the lowest possible price is available by visiting and booking on our website directly! Big Online Travel Agency (OTA) sites such as Airbnb, HomeAway, VRBO and TripAdvisor — and even local sites like HockingHills.com — add a high percentage of booking fees to your reservation total. Booking directly with the owner cuts out any middle-man and their commissions.

Book direct for direct contact with the owners

Only when booking direct are guests guaranteed direct contact with the person responsible for the property. That means you can get in touch — without obligation — to inquire about services and amenities before committing to book.

The best price isn't on the OTAs

Contrary to popular belief, OTA sites (such as VRBO, Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, etc.) don't actually provide the best price for travelers. Our guests can save hundreds on commissions by booking directly.

Many of the best cabins aren't listed on the major sites

Many of the best cabins in our region — the ones with the highest demand — aren't listed on all the major OTAs or regional listing sites. Why? We focus our marketing efforts on providing a quality experience for our guests. Who better to market our property than those who have experienced it themselves! A large majority of our guests are either returning guests or referrals.

As owners, we have in-depth knowledge of the destination

We are very active in the community and the lodging industry. When booking direct, owners become a free destination guide — we know the best activities, restaurants and service providers, and we help you schedule in-cabin dining and spa services, and arrange special requests such as grocery and floral delivery.

If guests have special requirements, we can help

Whether the family needs an accessible cabin or a pet-friendly option, we work with our guests directly to meet all their needs before they commit to a booking.

Specials & returning-guest offers are only available on our website

When travelers communicate directly with the owner, they're the first to find out about special offers, discounts and exclusive deals. Stayed with us before? Use the special promo code emailed to you after your stay to get returning-guest pricing! Extended stays of 5 days or more, AAA members, and veteran & active military all have special promo codes too.

We think you'll agree that #BookDirect is by far the best way to book your next Hocking Hills getaway. To learn more about the #BookDirect movement, visit bookdirect.education (opens an external site in a new tab). If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know!
