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!
