Most guests spend the whole stay in their own lane: hot tub, fire pit, patio. Frost is one of four tiny homes in a small cluster at Notestone Reserve. Each has its own outdoor space, with privacy panels around the hot tub and natural tree and shrub cover between units. The game room is a short walk away when you want it and easy to skip when you don't.



Named for Robert Frost, who spent his career paying close attention to the woods around him. It suits the location.

Sleeping



• Lofted queen bed. The beam above sits about 29" from the mattress, so sit up carefully. Lying down, it's perfectly comfortable.

• The loft stairs are built to code, but the ceiling drops as you climb and the top step is taller than the rest. If the loft is a concern, Thoreau has five steps up to the door and everything inside on one level, no loft.



Outside



• Private 2-person hot tub with dedicated striped hot tub towels

• Propane grill with tools

• Wood-burning fire pit with firewood and a starter log ready on arrival. Extra wood is in the outdoor box at the far end of the home or by the shipping container. Keep the lid closed so it stays dry.

• Seating for two, with blankets for cooler months



Inside



• Kitchenette with pots, pans, utensils, and basic pantry items

• Coffee bar with coffee maker, coffee, and tea

• Bathroom stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion

• Bath, hand, face, makeup, and hot tub towels

• Smart TV with streaming and a Bluetooth speaker

• Starter supplies: 2 rolls of toilet paper, paper towels, a sponge, and trash liners. Pack a little extra for longer stays.



Shared Game Room (open to all Notestone guests)



85" Smart TV, pool table, foosball, basketball arcade, classic arcade machines, a racing game, Legos, card games, board games, and indoor cornhole. There's an outdoor playground too.



Hocking Hills Drive Times



• Rock House: 3.3 miles, 7 min

• Conkle's Hollow: 8.8 miles, 15 min

• Old Man's Cave: 11 miles, 20 min

• Ash Cave: 16 miles, 28 min



Cedar Falls, Cantwell Cliffs, and the rest of Hocking Hills State Park are a short drive. Cell signal on back roads is spotty, so download directions before you leave home.



The driveway works for just about any vehicle. In winter, 4WD or AWD helps on the back roads in. The Frost driveway itself is usually fine without it.



About the WiFi



We run Starlink. It handles streaming, music, and browsing well. Video calls can drop now and then, especially on overcast days. Remote work is doable with the occasional hiccup. We'd rather tell you now than have you find out mid-Zoom.



The Setting



We're in the woods and keep up with regular pest control. A ladybug or a curious spider is just Hocking Hills being Hocking Hills.



House Rules



• No parties or events, including bachelor/bachelorette groups. And no glitter. It genuinely never goes away.

• Registered guests only on the property

• No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property, indoors or out

• No fireworks, ATVs, hunting, or weapons on the property

• No commercial photography or video without written approval

• Hot tub: striped towels only, keep the cover on between soaks, and please don't set the temperature below 100 degrees. It takes several hours to recover.

• Septic system: flush toilet paper only, no garbage disposal at the sink



All guests sign a short renter's agreement after booking. We'll send it over. It's quick, painless, and helps us take good care of you and everyone else on the property.
