Family Fave : Four Stories : Conversation Pit : Kids' Fort : Hot Tub : Trails

**Looking for the ultimate Hocking Hills escape?**
Say hey to **The Carpenter’s Cabin**—a modern cabin tucked deep in the pines on 32 private acres, and yep, it's as dreamy as it sounds. This place has been featured all over the world (Magnolia Network, Max+, curated global lists—you name it), and once you step inside, you'll see why.

Whether you're gathering with family or friends, this cabin is all about slowing down, reconnecting, and soaking up the good stuff.

**Relaxation, Redefined**
From the iconic sunken **conversation pit** (a favorite among design lovers) to the peaceful **hot tub under the pines**, every corner is built to help you unwind. Cozy up by the modern fireplace, pour a glass of wine, and enjoy the views—or sneak away to the loft’s quiet little workspace if you need to check in with the real world.

**Entertainment Hangout**
Head downstairs and you’ll find the ultimate chill zone: a media room with a sectional sofa (perfect for movie marathons or game night), a playful **bunk room** with full-over-full beds, and direct access to the hot tub + hammock area outside. Bonus: there’s a full bathroom down here too.

**Cook Like a Pro**
The kitchen’s got everything—from a waffle maker and French press to a blender and hand mixer. It's compact, efficient, and fully stocked, so go ahead and show off your chef skills. The dining table seats 10, plus extra room at the island, making it ideal for big family dinners or brunch with friends.

**Sleep Tight**
With space for up to **12 guests** (9 adults max), everyone gets a real bed—no pullouts here. Think 5-star mattresses, bamboo sheets, organic linen duvets, and thoughtful touches like bedside lamps and reading spots. It’s cozy, quiet, and just the right amount of fancy.

**Bathrooms That Hit Different**
You’ll find details everywhere—Turkish cotton towels, organic body products, and all the little things (hooks, baskets, shelves) that make life easier.

**For the Littles: The Jaybird Fort**
Just steps from the main cabin is the **Jaybird Fort**, an adorable mini cabin where kids can play, explore, and make their own memories while you relax nearby.

**Adventure, Right Outside**
Wander the **private trails** on the property, or hop in the car and explore all the nearby Hocking Hills favorites—waterfalls, caves, hikes, and more are just minutes away.

A Few Extras:
- **Max Stay**: 7 nights
- **Optional Mid-Stay Cleaning**: For stays 4+ nights, we offer a $65 refresh (towels, quick vacuum, light surface clean)
- **Guests Only**: Please keep it to the guests listed in your reservation (no events or parties)
- **Kid Policy**: Max of 6 kids under 12

**The Carpenter’s Cabin isn’t just a stay—it’s an experience.**
Design lovers, nature seekers, and anyone looking for a little extra magic—this is your spot. Book your stay now and see why this cabin is one-of-a-kind.

Girls Weekend

We had four women staying at Carpenter’s Cabin for the weekend. The Cabin was beautiful and was decorated for the holidays in the most gorgeous way. It was super easy to communicate with the host and they were very helpful in working with us and providing information about the property and the surrounding area.

Wonderful Getaway!

What a great place to get away with family and friends! The large island in the kitchen helped many hands cook at the same time and the conversation pit was cozy and intimate. We enjoyed hiking the trail on the property and gazing at the stars from the hot tub. The whole place was beautiful, clean, and comfortable.

Cute cozy place!

Our stay was so lovely! The place is so quaint and clean and we didn’t want to leave the property much! The modern decor and furniture made the place feel sophisticated and had a homey feel. There was an issue with water pressure but the property manager was quick to respond and resolve the issue. There was also a manure / egg smell outside that would come and go but overall the place was perfect!

A beautiful, relaxing retreat

We celebrated my twin sisters’ 40th birthday with 6 adults, three children and a toddler. The house had plenty of space for us to spread out and we spent lots of time on the front porch watching the kids play outside. We hiked a few trails at Hocking Hills which is less than 20 minutes from the house and visited the petting zoo for a fall festival. The house is beautiful and you can tell they thought of all the details both in the design of the house and in making it a comfortable space for guests. FYI, if you are traveling with a toddler, bring some sort of gate; the steps downstairs are right in the kitchen; we made a makeshift gate using a luggage rack and a suitcase. So glad we found this gem, I’d love to get back!
