Head to a cabin rental outside the city to experience the Ohio wilds, a quiet alternative to urban life. Several state and national forests sit just outside Cincinnati—on the east side, you'll find the Wayne National Forest and the Tar Hollow, Zaleski, and Vinton Furnace state forests, all home to hundreds of miles of hiking trails for scenic walks, ATV trails, and opportunities for fishing. State forest cabin rentals offer fully furnished bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and a living area, while some are set near beaches and marinas for swimming. Southeast of Cincinnati is the 12,000-acre Crown City Wildlife Area, home to rolling terrain and lots of small streams, while Pike Lake State Park, the Pike State Forest, and Tranquility State Wildlife Area are set closer to downtown. Whether private vacation rentals or public state park cabins, Cincinnati cabin amenities typically include full kitchens, private bathrooms, linens, and towels. Some may even offer extra perks like screened porches, air conditioning, or a hot tub.
