In this episode, we’re spotlighting a hidden gem in the MidEAST—Hocking Hills, Ohio. This is our SECOND submission from listener Katie shares all her top tips for visiting this stunning spot, from the best places to stay to must-do hikes and creative ways to book it all using points and miles.

We cover everything from rustic-chic state park lodges (bookable through Chase or Capital One) to romantic cabins with hot tubs and even luxury treehouses. Katie has visited in every season and swears you can’t go wrong, though fall is especially beautiful—just be sure to book early.

Whether you’re hiking through Ash Cave, sipping wine at a local vineyard, or cozying up by a fire in a cabin, Hocking Hills offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. This is a road trip you’ll want to add to your list—especially if you’re looking for a peaceful escape that won’t break the bank.
