Architectural Mirror Cabin Retreat | Hot Tub

Welcome to Thoreau, an architectural mirror cabin designed for quiet reflection in the woods of the Hocking Hills. One of two mirrored homes at Notestone Reserve, Thoreau is inspired by the writings of Henry David Thoreau and his connection to nature. Designed for couples or solo travelers, the space features a comfortable queen bed, a thoughtfully equipped kitchenette, and inviting indoor areas for relaxed evenings. Outside, enjoy your own private hot tub and seating area surrounded by the stillness of the forest.

During the day, the mirrored exterior reflects the surrounding woods, blending the home into its natural setting. In the evening, the glass becomes transparent from the inside, creating an immersive experience of the forest beyond. For privacy, the bathrooms feature frosted glass, and curtains are provided throughout the home for additional seclusion.
Note: The exterior is still undergoing improvements; we appreciate your understanding as we work to enhance the space
