Such a cute little place to enjoy! It’s affordable and well maintained! Owners are so sweet and accommodating. My husband and I will be coming back hopefully soon! We originally booked for our honeymoon, if you have kids you know sometimes it is what it is… the kids had a blast. We loved the pond and all the nature around us(especially the cows).
Sign by the cute plants, flowers and a pumpkin vine! So cute!
My daughter wanted to show off the hot tub even though only mom and dad got to enjoy it!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda & Eric Schmidt

Host profile image
Laurel Springs Farm is a 67-acre family farm situated just three miles from Laurelville in the scenic Hocking Hills. Owned and operated by Eric and Brenda Schmidt, the farm represents both a sanctuary and a new beginning for us.

Our journey into agriculture began after a fraudulent business merger that left us with nothing but this land nestled in the countryside. Faced with adversity, we made the decision to embrace farming as our new way of life. Although the transition presented many challenges, we have found the work to be deeply rewarding.

Each day on the farm brings fresh experiences and opportunities to learn. We feel truly fortunate to have this beautiful land to shape and call our own. It offers a peaceful retreat for our family and friends, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The labor involved in maintaining the farm also serves as excellent exercise, contributing positively to our overall health and well-being.

Why they chose this property

Nestled within the beautiful Hocking Hills region, our property offers guests a truly unique and memorable experience. The centerpiece of our retreat is a cozy cabin, thoughtfully designed and constructed with care and attention to detail.

We, Eric and Brenda, personally built most of the distinctive features found throughout the cabin. Our hands-on approach allowed us to infuse the space with character and warmth, making it both inviting and special.

To ensure the highest quality and durability, we enlisted the skilled Amish community to construct the frame of the cabin. Additionally, some of the furniture was crafted by the Amish, adding authentic charm and lasting beauty to the interior.

This property holds deep personal meaning for us, and we are pleased to share it with our guests. We hope that all who visit enjoy the space as much as we do, creating cherished memories in a place that is close to our hearts.

What makes this property unique

The master bedroom features a suspended, one-of-a-kind porch swing style log queen bed, offering a truly distinctive sleeping experience. In the loft, you will find another custom log bed, though this one is not suspended, continuing the theme of handcrafted woodwork throughout the home.

Artisanal Furniture and Flooring
Stained concrete floors run throughout the space, lending durability and a rustic aesthetic. The live edge vanity and dining table both showcase natural wood finishes, and the dining table has the added functionality of dropping down to maximize space as needed.

Architectural Highlights
The front wall is constructed from wood slices harvested by the Amish, using trees that were taken down during the tornado that struck the area a few years ago. This unique feature serves as a meaningful and beautiful tribute to the area’s history.

Functional Design and Relaxation Spaces
A rolling bookcase door leads to the laundry and utility area, combining convenience with style. The large red slipper tub invites relaxation and comfort, providing an ideal spot to unwind.

Handmade Accents and Outdoor Spaces
Most features in the home are completely handmade, including drop cloth curtains adorned with giant safety pins, fringe, and other embellishments for a personalized touch. A custom front bench offers a perfect vantage point to enjoy the firepit and gaze at the night sky. Additionally, a custom inset charcoal grill is available for outdoor cooking.
Mom's flower garden features many of Brenda's mother's favorite plants, adding a personal and inviting atmosphere to the property.

Experience Outdoor Activities and Private Cabin Retreat
The cabin offers privacy near Hocking Hills Parks and local attractions. Guests can explore several acres of the farm, enjoy Lance's Pond and the fishing shack with provided fishing gear, and inquire about our seasonal fruit. It’s an ideal spot for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and other special occasions.
