One of Ohio’s most loved outdoor destinations, the Hocking Hills region has long been known for its cabin rentals. A few years ago, properties were mainly rustic and rugged. And, while we love a log cabin as much as anyone, the area has recently seen a flurry of new builds, with a host of luxury cabins coming onto the scene. We’re on board with the movement, and some of our recent favorites are the Hocking Hills container cabins that have popped up.

Other Hocking Hills visitors share the sentiment, as the shipping container cabins featured in this guide are some of the most booked vacation rentals in the area. We’ve cut through the noise and compiled a list of the very best container cabins in Hocking Hills, Ohio. Properties cater to all budgets and group sizes, and we’ve made sure to include pet-friendly options and notes on accessibility. We hope it helps you plan the perfect escape!

The Lily Pad is just two miles from Old Man’s Cave, and guests are free to visit the on-site barn that houses Donald, a Miniature Highland Cow, and Leonard, a miniature donkey!

Rated 9.6 out of 10 on Vrbo

Sleeps 4 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Built by the Insta-famous owners of The Box Hop, Boho Box Hop is smaller than its sister cabin, making it ideal for a Hocking Hills couple’s getaway. The interior is immaculately designed with high-end finishes and a creative use of space. We particularly love the upstairs bedroom with a king bed and huge windows looking out over the woods. Outside, there’s the obligatory hot tub, as well as a fireplace and gas BBQ. Reserve early, as this container home tends to book out months ahead.

Rates average $295 per night. Check availability and book on Vrbo.
