The Grand Tara Lodge in Ohio, a truly unique Hocking Hills Lodge experience. Reminiscent of the beautiful Irish manor from "Gone with the Wind," this Hocking Hills Lodging experience is like no other. With up-to-date luxury and entertainment in a country setting, there is something for the entire family. The 5700-sq.-ft. vacation plantation provides a heated pool, a sauna, and a hot tub all nestled in 300 open acres of beautiful hillside views. Tara includes another 1200 square feet of space in the indoor basketball and dodgeball area. Tara's privately fenced 18 x 36 in-ground heated swimming pool with a 20 x 20 covered deck is one of a kind and the field goal area/ soccer field with goal posts and soccer nets make it popular with kids of all ages. The professional, digital touch, 11,000 song Karaoke System has songs from the 30s through today’s hits for young and old alike. After a long day of exercise and enjoying the outdoors, come settle in front of the 102" x 52" Theater Sony Projection HDTV for a family movie night or enjoy many of the indoor games such as pool, ping pong, skee ball, pop a shot and many others! The lodge at Grand Tara is equipped with an ozone generator just in case of a power outage.

***Due to Covid 19, our cleaning protocols have increased, and the following are steps we are taking to ensure the property and guests are as safe as possible as we all navigate through this COVID-19 outbreak. Please know that our cleaning teams will be paying extra attention to all high-touch surfaces including door handles, faucet handles, remote controls, games, etc. We use an EPA registered sanitizer known as H2Orange2 which is proven effective in killing 99.99% of bacteria. Most indications are that the virus is not as able to easily survive or be transmitted from soft surfaces as it is hard surfaces. This being said, please know that our laundry facility uses commercial washing and drying equipment with the same chemical programs as most hotels across the United States. Bedding and towels will come out of the wash completely sanitized and ready for the next guest.***
