We're a family-owned hospitality company operating a curated portfolio of premium short-term rental properties in Ohio's most beautiful destination. Every stay is crafted by our local team for an exceptional guest experience — because these are our homes, and you're our guests.
Lodging.Center is a family-owned and operated hospitality company that builds and owns luxury short-term rental properties throughout the Hocking Hills region. Built on family values — trust, integrity, and genuine care — we treat every guest like family and every property like our own home.
Unlike third-party property managers who juggle hundreds of owners, we have a direct stake in every property and every guest experience. We design and build each property from the ground up to commercial and hotel-grade standards — from professionally designed interiors and premium furnishings to smart lock entry systems, high-speed internet, and hotel-quality linens. We don't cut corners because our family name is on every door.
We are smarter.homes — our parent company handles all construction and technology. Every property is designed, built, and equipped in-house with solar energy, IoT systems, smart home automation, integrated security, and cutting-edge construction technology — making each stay eco-friendly, seamless, and future-ready.
With 4 active properties and 15+ more in development for 2026, we're growing our portfolio as a family while maintaining the quality and personal touch that sets us apart. Each property is designed to showcase the natural beauty of Hocking Hills while delivering the comfort, cleanliness, and consistency you'd expect from a top-tier hotel — with the warmth and character of a family-run retreat.
Every property in our portfolio is owned by our family. No middlemen, no absentee landlords — just our team delivering quality stays with personal care, every time.
Every property meets commercial and hotel-grade standards. Professional-grade appliances, hotel-quality bedding, commercial cleaning protocols, and code-compliant builds throughout.
Our team lives in and knows Hocking Hills intimately. We provide authentic local recommendations for dining, hiking, and attractions.
From curated welcome packages and luxury linens to 24/7 guest support and concierge-style local guides — every detail is designed to exceed expectations.
