About this property

Secluded Cabin on the Hill in the Hocking Hills

The Cabin on the Hill features cottage style furnishings with a rustic twist.

When comparing, be sure to know that we are including taxes in our listed rates.

The flooring is a sustainable art paper floor featuring inlaid fall leaves from the property. Originally built by and home to a young Amish couple that moved to Minnesota with their growing family; we had the cabin moved to our farm on the foot of "the big hill" back in 2005 when we updated it to have electricity, appliances running water. We have an on-demand hot water system for limitless hot water, so feel free to fill the footed slipper tub and relax in the hot spring water or shower off after a day of hiking and then kick back in the oversized chair, the round cuddle couch, or the recliner in front of one of the electric fireplaces. Enjoy the remarkable sunsets overlooking the valley from the top of the Big Hill. Enjoy the night sky, even the Milky Way, like through the veil of darkness only found in the remote night skies. Relax in front of the gas fire pit or slip into the hot tub for a relaxing soak.

Enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience in the Hocking Hills.

Want to explore the Hocking Hills State Parks? We are a short drive to many of the parks and guests have access to a trail to the hilltop on our property .

Want to go horseback riding? The Spotted Horse Ranch is less than a mile from our farm. Or go canoeing or rafting in nearby Logan or rock climbing at the new High Rock Adventures in Rockbridge just off Route 33. Need to grab some groceries, gas or visit a local eatery? We are just 3 miles from Laurelville, featuring the world famous Laurelville cider or stop by The Ridge Inn for Jo's famous donuts! So, there are conveniences and attractions nearby, but they are completely out of site as you go into seclusion at the cabin!

Other on-site activities such as walking the trails on the hill overlooking the valley and pond. Drop a line to catch a fish - we offer catch-and-release bluegill and bass and the occasional turtle from the dock on our spring-fed pond using our simple homemade cane poles. Bait is available in Laurelville, or use a piece of hot dog to catch a bluegill!

Bring your hiking boots and enjoy the breathtaking view from the top of the big hill or even spread out a blanket and picnic and enjoy the one-of-a-kind view.

Enjoy the overlooking views from the full wrap around porch.
Grill something delicious to eat on the custom charcoal park-style grill pit.

The MAIN floor bedroom has a queen-sized Serta Perfect Sleeper with Eurotop. The LOFT bedroom has a queen mattress with a foam topper and additional feather bed topper. The walk-out/daylight basement has a high-quality queen size pull-out SOFA BED with separate foam topper available for your comfort.

Clean bedding and pillows are available for each bed.

A round hot tub is available for your enjoyment on the bottom patio.

We installed a cell signal booster for better cellular phone signal access under the metal roof of the cabin.

Wireless internet access through Starlink (best available in the area), is available free of charge, as is over the air TV channels depending upon weather conditions on the upstairs Smart TV which has a DVD/Blue Ray player with HDMI input and a ROKU device.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda & Eric Schmidt

Host profile image
Laurel Springs Farm is located just three miles from Laurelville in the scenic Hocking Hills. Owned and operated by Eric and Brenda Schmidt, it has represented both a sanctuary and a fresh start for us.

Our path into agriculture began after a fraudulent business merger left us with nothing but this land in the countryside. In the face of adversity, we chose to turn that chapter into a new way of life through farming. While the transition brought many challenges, the work has proven deeply rewarding.

Over the years, the farm has offered new experiences and countless opportunities to learn. Life has changed, and we no longer have all the animals we raised in the past, but those years were filled with meaningful moments we were truly fortunate to share. We feel especially blessed to have this beautiful land to shape and call our own. As our lives continue to unfold—and now as we enter retirement—it has remained a peaceful refuge for us.

Why they chose this property

Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Hocking Hills, our property offers guests a truly one-of-a-kind, memorable retreat. At the center is a cozy cabin, thoughtfully designed and built with care and attention to every detail.

Eric and Brenda personally created many of the cabin’s distinctive features, giving the space warmth, character, and a welcoming feel.

For the cabin’s frame and durability, we partnered with a skilled Amish community. The Amish built the cabin, moved it to its current spot at the foot of the “big hill” in 2005, and we later added a full-wrap porch to provide both easy convenience and stunning scenic views.

This cabin is especially meaningful to us—it was our home for eight years before we built our current home just down the lane. We hope everyone who stays here feels the same sense of comfort and connection, enjoying the cabin and making treasured memories in a place close to our hearts.

What makes this property unique

Secluded, yet close to Hocking Hills Parks and local amenities and adventures. Several acres are available for you to roam, including the big hill and access to Lance's Pond and the fishing shack where you will find fishing poles and basic tackle for catch and release fishing.

Ask about our seasonal offerings including blueberries, blackberries and chestnuts. Perfect for newlyweds, anniversaries, birthday celebrations and other special occasions and we very much appreciate the part we get to play in such beautiful memories.
