Striking Architecture and Distinctive Interior Features
Step into the cabin and be greeted by a breathtaking full wall of windows and an artistic wood slice accent, showcasing the impressive 28-foot tall A-frame structure. The cabin’s design blends rustic charm with modern functionality, offering several distinctive features. The first floor houses a suspended, porch-swing style queen bed, a rolling bookcase door, and a live-edge drop-down dining table—all contributing to the cabin’s unique character. In the bathroom, discover a large red slipper tub with a soothing rainfall shower, set against a repurposed slate wall for a touch of elegance.
Modern Amenities for Comfort and Convenience
The cabin is outfitted with a fully equipped galley-style kitchen, making meal preparation simple and enjoyable. Stained concrete flooring stretches across the first floor, while sliding patio doors and two sets of functional French doors invite natural light and fresh air. A third set of French doors serves as a scenic backdrop for the suspended log bed. Upstairs in the loft, a cozy reading area features Amish-built rockers, perfect for watching sunsets, accompanied by a comfortable queen log bed.
Essential Utilities and Thoughtful Details
Guests enjoy the benefit of fresh spring water, sourced from a private multi-home spring water system and heated on demand, ensuring hot water is always available. Every detail has been considered to enhance your stay and provide a seamless experience.
Outdoor Spaces and Recreational Amenities
The outdoor area offers a private round hot tub, a park-style charcoal grill nestled within cultured stone, and a propane fire pit for relaxing evenings. The front deck features built-in benches, a patio table and seating, and is surrounded by “Mom’s” flower garden, creating a peaceful retreat environment. The property is secluded yet conveniently close to Hocking Hills Parks and local attractions, allowing you to enjoy privacy without sacrificing access to nearby adventures.
Expansive Grounds and On-Site Activities
Roam several acres of the 67-acre farm, with highlights including Lance’s Pond and a fishing shack stocked with fishing poles and basic tackle for catch-and-release fishing. The cabin provides an ideal setting for newlyweds, anniversaries, birthday celebrations, and other special occasions, and we are honored to be a part of your cherished memories.

Bring hiking boots to explore the panoramic views from the top of the big hill or spread out a blanket and picnic to take in the one-of-a-kind scenery.

About the host
Hosted by Brenda & Eric Schmidt
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.
