A Place Created for Rest and Reconnection

Hummingbird Hollow was created by a therapist, nurse, and nature lover who believes that healing begins with slowing down and is greatly enhanced by nature. The property was intentionally designed as a simple sanctuary where guests can step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with themselves, their loved ones, and the natural world.

Many guests come seeking a quiet getaway and leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and surprised by how restorative a few days in nature can be.

Escape the noise and reconnect with nature at Hummingbird Hollow, a cozy tiny cabin tucked into the rolling hills and hollows of southeastern Ohio. Located just 25 minutes south of Athens and Ohio University, this peaceful woodland retreat offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.

Surrounded by 7 private acres of woods, Hummingbird Hollow is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy life's simpler pleasures. Spend your mornings sipping coffee while listening to birdsong, your afternoons exploring forest trails or relaxing in a hammock, and your evenings gathered around the fire beneath a sky full of stars.

Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a solo retreat, a creative escape, or simply a quiet weekend away from the demands of everyday life, Hummingbird Hollow offers a unique opportunity to unplug and reconnect.
