Hello Wednesday! Chelsea here.

I know that Wednesdays get a bad rep, but I’m about to turn that around. Okay, that may be a little overconfident, but I am really excited to share our feature story with you today. A while ago, we shared the beautiful Cantwell Lodge at The Cliffs with you, and the owners of that property have upped the game. There are some new competitors in town for the “coolest places to stay in Hocking Hills” and they’re called the Bungalows at the Cliffs. If you thought the lodge’s private waterfall was impressive, just wait until you see the highlight of this accommodation. It’s truly one-of-a-kind.
