About this property

Shipping Container Cabin

NUMBER 6 and NEWEST! The Ellwood Box Hop is a single story, minimal Mid-Century box hop which was designed to span a ravine that is directly over a waterfall! The Ellwood is named after an influential designer based out of LA in the 70’s who was known for his minimal steel and glass (couldn’t be more box hop) designs, Craig Ellwood.

The Hocking Hills is an area of the Allegheny Plateau in Appalachian Ohio, primarily in Hocking County, that features cliffs, gorges, rock shelters, and waterfalls. The relatively extreme topography in this area is due to the Blackhand Sandstone (so named because of Native American graphics on the formation near Newark, Ohio), a particular formation that is thick, hard and weather-resistant, and so forms high cliffs and narrow, deep gorges.

The home can be accessed with a key in a lockbox next to the door.

Although everything is on one story, this home is a jaw dropper. Spanning the seasonal waterfall, you are suspended in the air overlooking the waterfalls edge, into the deep ravine below. Did we mention that there is a glass floor inside? From inside you can look out 3 large panoramic windows to the expansive ravine and waterfalls edge, OR you can look beneath your feet to catch a glimpse of the water before it tumbles over the edge.

INSIDE HIGHLIGHTS:
Two bedrooms; 2 full size beds
One full bathroom
Glass floor
Full kitchen stocked with cookware & serving dishes
Washer and dryer
Air mattress (queen) available

The third Box Hop on the 75 acres, the Ellwood, is situated towards the top of the property and spans a ravine, suspended over a waterfall. The house is absolutely breathtaking in all seasons as you can watch the water tumble over the falls in spring/summer or see them completely frozen into majestic pieces of art in the winter.

There is no shortage of views at this hop and you can easily hike your way towards the marked trails near the other canyon on the property to see the larger cave and waterfall. This house is very secluded and peaceful. A fan favorite by far.

OUTSIDE HIGHLIGHTS:
Deck overlooking the ravine with waterfall
Outdoor fire pit
Gas grill
Hot tub
Trails and waterfall on property to hike and explore



The driveway is a long gravel driveway. With any inclement weather, we recommend an all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicle. The driveway is maintained by a local company, but we want to be sure that you are aware.

Very quiet, clean and peaceful. Any issues were addressed by admin. Heating was a little tricky to maintain and had to leave bedroom door open to keep the temperature comfortable, but we were in a shipping container so it was to be expected. Hot tub was wonderful and it was very private. View was amazing. Everything was provided and we didn't want for anything. Overall stay was great and would highly recommend for a couples retreat.

We had a wonderful stay here! The Ellwood was clean, comfortable and a lot of fun to stay at! My kids loved the glass floor over looking the waterfall. The location is secluded, with beautiful views of the surrounding woods, but not too far a driving distance to local shopping centers. We were overall really impressed with the homes design and decor and couldnt have asked for a better vacation stay!

Would 100% recommend this place to anyone! Exactly what we needed! Peace and quiet so close to all the hiking attractions. Was a little skeptical about paying a premium price. When other places I found were cheaper. But u do get what u pay for! And this place was well worth every penny in our book! Would def rent again but in a diff one they have! Top notch! Thank you again

Great Getaway Location

My sister and I went here to get away for a few days and it was the perfect place! The property was clean and looks exactly as it is presented in the pictures. There is plenty to do in the area from hiking in the Hocking Hill State Park to just checking out the local area. While it was a little cold and rainy, we were still able to enjoy our time in the area. Highly recommend renting from here.

So cozy!

We could not have asked for a more wonderful place to enjoy a low-key Thanksgiving! The location is great - close to shops/coffee and all the main hiking trails. The hardest part was actually getting ourselves to leave the place as they have created a very cozy vibe. We will definitely stay at another box hop property again!

An amazing house

The house lived up to all of our expectations and even surpassed them because of the thoughtful way it is designed and put together. It was perfect for our family of four. The house is cozy in the best possible way. We loved the view of the waterfall through the floor! The hosts are thoughtful about providing everything you could possibly need, including fresh coffee beans from a local roaster. The Hocking Hills area is a gorgeous place to discover and explore.

Beautiful!

We had such a great time spending our anniversary here! The views were beautiful and so was The Ellwood. We had a little trouble finding it, but the Boxhop staff kindly guided us to where we needed to be. I would highly recommend staying here!

Box Hop Team,We had a great birthday getaway. This property really is a hidden jewel. Loved the unique location & design. Great views from all sides. Spent so much time just connecting on the deck without technology! We had everything needed to make it a great stay. The mattress has to be hands down the best we have experienced. We even got a laugh from the grumpy neighbor sign! Thanks again. We wish you continued success.Steve & Susan M.

Easter April at the Ellwood

We loved our stay at the Ellwood. The house/container itself is super cool let alone the setting. It is private and surrounded by beautiful cliffs, a meadow and a trickling stream which was lovely to hear all night with windows open. It is very sound proof with windows closed. The Ellwood included everything we needed for our stay including the kitchen which was outfitted with all equipment needed to cook meals. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

So relaxing

We had the perfect stay at the Ellwood! Our family of four visited to kick off summer break and couldn’t have enjoyed it more. The property is amazing and gives you the feel of nearby trails without the crowds. I loved being able to hear the babbling water Running below and can’t say enough how much I loved the property. We had everything we needed and only left once to go eat. We had the perfect stay!
