Any summer cannot be complete without an evening spent sitting around the campfire, singing songs, and gelling stories. T
he fire crackling, crickets chirping, and millions of stars lighting up the sky take many of us back to our childhood and the magic that is summer.

o place better to spend a summer evening than in the Hocking Hills, and before this summer ends the Inn wants to make sure no one misses out on these memories! Join us on August 10 for National S’mores Day Around the Campfire!
Have dinner in our award-winning restaurant and then gather around our fire pit for an evening of fun and good summer times. Our own massage therapists Ellie Delmatto and Randy Wellman will entertain you with songs and music while you enjoy making s’mores around the fire. Stay the night in one of our beautiful cabins or cottages and receive a 25% discount!
