About this property

Walk to State Park trails! Modern cabin surrounded by woods + hot tub + firepit

Relax, Explore, and Unwind at the Sugarloaf Hillside Cabin!

Nestled on a forested hillside near Sugarloaf Mountain, this charming tiny-house cabin blends modern comfort with natural beauty. Recently built in an industrial farmhouse style, Sugarloaf Hillside offers a private hot tub on an expansive deck, where you can soak up views of the woods and night sky. A short stroll leads you to Great Seal State Park, where hiking and biking trails feature stunning ridge-top views on either side of the cabin.

Nearby Attractions:
- Tecumseh! Outdoor Drama: Just an 8-minute drive to this popular reenactment.
- Chillicothe: 12-15 minutes to enjoy restaurants, bowling, and more.
- Hopewell Culture National Historical Park: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, just 15-20 minutes away.
- Ross Lake: Only 10 minutes away, ideal for kayaking and fishing.
- Other State Parks: Hocking Hills, Tar Hollow, and Pike Lake are all within 40 minutes.

In winter, you can explore indoor spots like the Mighty Children’s Museum, Shawnee Lanes Bowling, and Nazdravie Winery in Chillicothe—all within 15 minutes.

Cabin Layout & Amenities
Sugarloaf Hillside’s open floor plan brings together the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas, creating a warm and inviting space. Down the hall, a separate bedroom and bathroom offer privacy, while two cozy sleeping lofts with plush queen beds are accessible by ladder, adding a touch of adventure perfect for kids. Sunlight fills the cabin through 17 windows, framing serene forest views on all sides.

The cabin is fully stocked with everything you need, including:
- Essentials: Toiletries, bedding, towels, coffee, and kitchen essentials.
- Entertainment: WiFi, a smart TV with Prime, Hulu, and Disney+, board games, and an Echo Dot with Alexa.
- Charging Station: Equipped with multiple cord types for your devices.

Outdoor Perks
Enjoy a peaceful evening by the fire pit, complete with circular seating, or fire up the grill for an outdoor feast. Lounge on two comfortable chaise chairs by the hot tub, and relax on the deck furniture with your morning coffee while spotting local wildlife like deer and turkeys.

For some friendly competition, try the giant Connect 4 or cornhole sets! A disc golf set is also available in the cabin for use at the Great Seal State Park course.

**Additional Notes**
Winter Accessibility: 4WD is recommended in snow or icy conditions, as roads and the driveway may not be plowed.
Safety: The open lofts and ladders may not be ideal for very young children. A motion-activated security camera is located on the front porch only.
Water System: The cabin uses a rain-catchment system for water, so please bring bottled water for drinking. A filtered water pitcher is also provided.

No hunting is allowed on the property to ensure the safety and serenity of the environment.

The perfect getaway!

Our family had a fantastic time at the tiny cabin. We were impressed with how clean it was and how wonderful it was to sit on the deck with a cup of coffee and chat. Our host was great, very responsive. She gave us lots of ideas on what to do in Chillicothe. We enjoyed our time and would love to come back and stay at the tiny cabin again someday!

Perfect Getaway

Sugarloaf Hillside cabin was exactly what we were looking for for our family's New Year getaway. It was clean, beautifully decorated, stocked with plenty of kitchen items and linens with games for all ages. The hot-tub was relaxing and perfect size. We found hiking and Indian mounds nearby as well as a quaint downtown to explore. Overall we had a memorable and enjoyable stay in this cute tiny house.

Amazing getaway

My friends and I decided that we needed a get away, it was the best time spending time away from our jobs and enjoying nature. We saw all kind of wildlife and the store were amazing. The hot tub was fantastic as well. We enjoyed s’mores on the fireplace but the mornings were the best hearing all the wildlife around you. Will be back!

Cool spot!

Modern furnished cabin in a unique spot on the back of a huge ridge. In Ohio! Pictures are accurate. It's a beautiful cabin. Three queen beds. Lofts are best for kids. There's a couch and an individual chair, so four people watching TV is tough. But you didn't come to southern Ohio to watch TV. Get out and see some things. There's tons to do nearby. Chillicothe downtown is so cool. Thriving, almost. The road the cabin is on has been improved and has a decent amount of traffic. The backyard is huge, steep,.and mostly wooded. Cool fire pit area. For our family of 4, this worked great, and I would definitely consider booking it again.

Private and quiet but close proximity to local restaurants

My husband, daughter and I had a wonderful stay here. It was our first VRBO experience. It was surrounded by beautiful trees and wildlife. We saw deer, cardinals and chipmunks. My daughter said she’s never had a better night’s sleep. My husband said it was one of the best vacation stays. The modern amenities made me feel right at home. Looking forward to going again!

Secluded and Quiet

The property is new and was very clean. Bed was comfortable. We did not go in the lofts. Property is close to Chillicothe for restaurants and park for walking. Gas grill was nice and kitchen was easy to cook in. We'll come back next time we're staying in the area. Perfect for two people.

A tiny paradise

Loved the cabin, both inside and out. Great craftsmanship and lovely decor throughout. Loved the area, both the quiet and the scenery. Was a perfect place to reconnect with our grandchildren. They loved the hot tub and the lofts that they slept in, along with the fire pit. Everyone enjoyed walking aaround the property and checking out the sights. Everything about this place is first class. Will definitely consider staying here again.

Spectacular, Clean, Unique, and Modern Getaway

We loved the cleanliness and attention to detail put into the design of this property. Beautiful lot that’s off the beaten trail but close enough to civilization to get dinner and entertainment. Enjoyed looking at the woods and stars in the lighted hot tub and waking up with the foggy forest from the bedroom window. Good communication with host. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again. 5 Stars all around!

Joy

If I had known the location I probably wouldn’t have booked the reservation, however part of the issue was the road closure. The cabin was more than excellent, confusing internet, so we could not call out. I was very concerned, my wife has been very I’ll, but we decided to try it rather then cancel, but I was worried if she got sicker and I need help, I could figure out how to call for help. Well she got along fine, but still concerned. Other than that we enjoyed our short stay, left early Wednesday night as it’s only an hour away so I could get an early start on some projects I am working on.

About the host

Hosted by Carrie and Matt

Host profile image
Our family loves the outdoors! We frequently visit state and national parks to enjoy the fresh air and scenery. We built this cabin next to a state park because of our affection for the Great Seal and Hocking Hills state parks. Our hope is for our family, friends, and guests to enjoy this property and the surrounding areas for generations to come.

Why they chose this property

Sugarloaf Hillside is nestled in the woods on six acres next to a state park, but also within 15 minutes to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.

What makes this property unique

Walk just a few minutes up the road to catch the main hiking/biking trail of Great Seal State Park.
Super close to Tecumseh! The Outdoor Drama - Instead of driving home late at night, stay at our cabin just 8 minutes away.
