Upper Falls at Old Man's Cave - short walk/25 steps
One of the most popular of all the Hocking Hills hiking areas is Old Man's Cave. The Upper Falls is also located here and is another popular wedding spot. Old Man's Cave derives its name from the hermit Richard Rowe who lived in the large recess cave of the gorge. His family moved to the Ohio River Valley around 1796 from the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee to establish a trading post. He and his two dogs traveled through Ohio along the Scioto River in search of game and happened upon the Hocking Hills region. He soon called this location 'home' by building staircases and shelters to live out the rest of his days in these caves.

This was the most beautiful, peaceful, quiet, romantic place for my new husband and I to get married. The gazebo is picturesque the scenic views and Lisa and Derek were beyond accommodating and kind! 5 stars plus!! Highly recommend!!
Lisa and Derek were very welcoming. The Four Seasons property is a great place to get married on. The natural well-cared for outdoor scenery was better than we had imagined. Derek performed the ceremony and Lisa took our wedding photos. It was a wonderful experience and all the pictures turned out excellent! We plan on returning soon to stay in one of their cabins. I highly recommend "Traveling Chapel" to anyone for a memorable wedding ceremony at the location of your choice! In my case, my husband and I chose the Four Seasons venue and were 100% satisfied with the outcome. Thanks again to Derek and Lisa for all that you have done for us!
Got married in June of 2022 at my favorite place Ash Cave!! My hair and makeup for my wedding party ran a little late and they were still able to do my wedding beautifully and take all the pictures we wanted! It turned out beautifully and I couldn’t be happier. The price was great we got a cabin for us for two nights, the officiant, and pictures, and a bouquet! My experience was great and I cannot wait to renew our vows in 10 years doing the same process!
We got married at the Traveling Chapels Gazebo, and it was absolutely amazing. My new husband and I were completely blown away by the setting and the service. The Gazebo is stunning, it’s nestled in between an orchard and a beautiful little pond. It’s private and intimate, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Derek and Lisa were so easy to work with and so kind, the vows were wonderful and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
The cabin was so cute, and our stay was so relaxing. We loved it. They made our wedding so painless it was great!
Lisa and Derrick are so great. They were so sweet and helpful on our big day. Highly recommend them!
Derek & Lisa made our special day the most memorable by being so accommodating and kind. They truly are wonderful people to work with for special occasions.
We had a great experience with The Traveling Chapel. Derek and Lisa were professional and great to work with. The cabin we stayed at was immaculate. I highly recommend them.
Absolutely amazing! 10 out of 10! Super nice and caring. It was raining and muddy outisde and she allowed us to use her home. Amazing pictures and extremely attentive. Beautiful cabin. Flowers were excellent as well. Honestly the best.
Hiring The Traveling Chapel was the best possible decision we could have made. Derek and Lisa care. They care about your wedding ceremony, pictures, and overall experience.My daughter and son-in-law got the stress free private ceremony they wanted and we have professional photographs to cherish. Thank you Derek and Lisa with our whole hearts!
Lisa and Derek were amazing from initial contact to check out! They did our ceremony at Ash Cave, they were wonderful to work with, Lisa was great taking pictures and just chatting with along the way.We stayed several nights in the Songbird Cabin which was sweetly decorated for us. It was peaceful and relaxing.
Lisa and her husband were wonderful to work with. I contacted them last minute 4 days before we wanted to get married. She got everything lined up was honest and everything turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined. The bouquet was beautiful. Their gazebo we chose due to the dry summer they have had and it was absolutely perfect. Lisa you can tell genuinely loves these small ceremonies and helping others with them! Highly recommend! 10/10!
Lisa & Derek with the Traveling Chapel are absolutely wonderful!! We eloped September 4th,2024. It was perfect & we got soo many beautiful photos to bring home to our families! I would 100% recommend the Traveling chapel to anybody who wants to get married at Hocking Hills in Logan Ohio!!
What can I say other than WOW! My husband and I had such a magical experience. We arrived a day before our ceremony to the cabin so we could have time before to relax. The day of the ceremony, Lisa was excited to see what I looked like in my dress and asked me preferences on my flowers. She was very professional through all of it. We understood that this is more a place for elopements but they were more than willing to do our micro-wedding. Lisa took phenomenal pictures during the ceremony AND pictures of us and our family afterwards. She was quick to get our photos back to us, we had them back in 2 days! Overall, we loved our stay!! The only downsides were the driveway up to the cabins were a little rough and there’s no wifi.
