About the host

Hosted by Jami Jenkins

Host profile image
I am an interior & architectural designer who enjoys creating unique, highly functional spaces that make people instantly feel both comfortable and inspired. The Carpenter's Cabin was designed as our personal, multi-generational, family getaway, shared with others when we're not enjoying it. GloCabin is a romantic, magical escape for two. Twelve34 House is our most luxe property, and our most modern, inspired by Mid-Century Modernism. Each has a very distinct design, and distinct surroundings, but all are sustainable, luxury rentals. Rent one or bring the entire family and rent all three.

Why they chose this property

Our 32 beautiful acres is about 5 miutes north of downtown Laurelville and 5-25 minutes to everything Hocking County Ohio offers.

The Carpenter's Cabin offers four stories to enjoy and explore on a tiny footprint of just 934sf, but lives large with 1710 finished sf of interiors and an additional 1000sf of outdoor decks and patio to enjoy.

Our most popular feature, the conversation pit, has been shared on many high profile media sources including Bob Vila, Midwest Living Magazine, and SHLTR, as well as showcased on Magnolia Network's, The Cabin Chronicles.

Be sure to explore our trails that meander along our creeks, our beautiful ravine, through pines, and deciduous trees. Any season makes for a beautiful stay at the cabin. Be sure to bring rubber boots - creeking is so much fun, especially for the children!
