A lot of labor, heart and big ideas have been poured into The Hills Cabins + Campground. Today, we are celebrating that journey by introducing a cabin that brings the fun in a very big way.

Meet ๐๐ข๐ง๐ž๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐‡๐š๐ฏ๐ž๐ง, the cabin that came ready to play.

This massive three-bedroom, four-bathroom retreat sleeps eight and gives the whole crew plenty of space to gather, unwind and turn the foosball table into a little friendly competition.

Outside, the adventure takes a quieter turn. Pinecrest Haven is tucked against the woods, where a trail leads to a hidden campfire spot. After a nice rain, you may even catch water trickling through the woods and cascading over the rocks. It is the perfect place to tell stories, toast marshmallows and stay awhile.

Between adventures, enjoy the private hot tub, complimentary kayaks, fully equipped kitchen, charcoal grill, free Wi-Fi, heating and air conditioning. The porch beneath the towering pines is always ready for morning coffee or an evening spent reconnecting.

If your perfect cabin begins with the view, this is the one.

Meet ๐‹๐š๐ค๐ž๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ฐ, home to the best lakeside view at The Hills Cabins + Campground. Claim a seat on the porch, slow down and let the water set the pace.

Feeling adventurous? Take the two complimentary kayaks out for a paddle, explore the nearby trails of Shawnee National Forest or wander over to Feather Hills Vineyard and W**ery for food and w**e.

Ready to relax? Your private hot tub, fireplace and peaceful lakefront surroundings are waiting when you return.

Lakeview features one bedroom, one bathroom, a king-size bed downstairs and a full-size bed in the loft. You will also have free Wi-Fi, central heating, air conditioning, a charcoal grill and a fully equipped kitchen with a stove, dishwasher and refrigerator.

The cabin features three bedrooms, four bathrooms, two private king suites and a third bedroom with two twin beds. That means plenty of personal space, fewer bathroom lines and more time for fun.

Gather around the fully equipped kitchen, stretch out in the open living area or take the conversation outside to the spacious deck. A charcoal grill, fireplace, free Wi-Fi, heating and air conditioning keep the entire crew comfortable between adventures.

Tucked up against the forest, Woodland Retreat offers plenty of ways to wander throughout The Hills. Grab the complimentary kayaks, explore nearby lakes or set out for a day in Shawnee National Forest. When hunger calls, local food and w**e await nearby at Feather Hills Vineyard and W**ery.
