The Montana Cabin is nestled in the rolling hills of Southeast, Ohio while still remaining close to nearby restaurants, shops, and local attractions. The cabin boasts 1 lofted bedroom, 1 bathroom, a comfortable living space, and a beautiful kitchen. Traveling is a breeze when you stay with us as the cabin is fully equipped with great amenities. Property offers an outdoor hot tub, fire pit, and great quality time. State Parks, lakes, canoe & kayaking, ziplining and so much more all located within a short distance from the property. You will be overwhelmed by the beauty and calmness of the forest and wildlife. Explore the property or the beautiful Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest region of Southeast Ohio. Maybe you will have a serendipitous encounter with nature that you will wish to experience time after time.
Guests will follow a long gravel driveway until they find themselves in the middle of the forest where they are welcomed to a beautiful, rustic 1800s log cabin with a wrap around porch. Upon entering the Montana Cabin, guests will feel an instant sense of charm, comfort, and peace.
The Montana Cabin was completely restored using reclaimed barn doors and patchwork quilt hardwood flooring that came from old churches, schoolhouses, and other older homes in the area. The hickory kitchen cabinets are filled with all the amenities needed for our guests to enjoy a scrumptious, home-cooked meal. There is a wood burning pot bellied stove that guests can use to warm up with during winter months while snuggling on the couch. Follow the wooden staircase to the cozy lofted area with two Queen-sized beds where the floors and A-frame ceiling are covered in the beautiful, restored hardwood flooring.
Step outside each morning for a morning coffee before the birds start chirping to hear the unearthly quietness of the forest. Throughout the day, explore the unknown at the nearby State Parks. Come back to enjoy some flamed grilled food.
The wrap around porch is pure bliss. There is a small fire pit around the back where our guests can enjoy time underneath stars around a crackling, warm flame. To end each evening, guests can relax and unwind in the circular Jacuzzi that is tucked away on the corner of the wrap around porch.

The Montana cabin was so clean and cozy. Everything the listing had was accurate. Even the rainy stay we had was enjoyable because we were nice and close to several antique malls which we really enjoyed. We had a romantic weekday stay and would recommend coming to this cabin.

As soon as you step in the cabin the smell of moth balls is overwhelming. If you plan on spending any time in the hot tub or by the fire pit be prepared to smell the septic tank the entire time. The wifi was not available at all during our two night stay which was unfortunate as we we would have liked to watch some movies at night. Also all the laminated rules throughout the cabin took away from the relaxed vacation feel. Not at all what we expected for the price we paid.
We loved the charm of this 1800’s cabin. Was so cozy and comfy. We would definitely stay here again

There are exposed mothballs stuffed into floorboards, walls, and just sitting out on window sills. All moth balls were exposed to open air and not in containers (must be sealed) creating toxic vapor and pesticides to leak through the whole cabin. The vapor made the cabin unbearable. Within 20 minutes we were coughing and nauseated by the chemical exposure. I brought a small child with me and exposed moth balls are extremely toxic to all but especially small children. I brought this to their attention the clear warning labels that come with mothballs and the warnings from poison control but they were dismissive stating it’s their common practice in cabins to improperly use mothballs and create dangers for the renters and their children. We canceled the trip and they refunded our money after I refused to accept this known carcinogen to be actively misused during our stay. They refused to take accountability for this toxic mistake or change their practices. Renters beware.
