Lux Tranquil Escape! Secluded,Dog Friendly,HotTub

"It's a perfect romantic spot that feels like it makes time stop! Very spiritual." -April

The retro mid-century modern decor accented with custom Amish furnishings throughout makes the space an amazing place to relax and disconnect. Spend the day exploring nearby state parks then return home to cozy up next to the fire pit on the large covered patio and enjoy the sunset or relax in the hot tub situated on the deck overlooking the beautiful Hocking Hills.

Perfect getaway!
Stella Blue cabin has everything you need and more for a quiet weekend away. The cabin was so clean (very important to me), beautifully decorated and peaceful. Surrounded by the forest on a beautiful ridge, it was the perfect getaway for peace and quiet. Our dog loved being able to roam the area and smell all the smells dogs love and she slept well in the dog bed that was provided. Our bed was very comfortable too. Brian and Amelia stayed in touch with details prior to the trip and were responsive with any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Peace and Tranquility
We had a wonderful stay at the Stella Blue cabin! It was just the peace and tranquility that we needed to unwind from the busy hustle and bustle of everyday routine. The Cabin is so quaint, with plenty of privacy, and has everything you could possibly need. There is plenty of hiking around the area for exploration, and then you return for a soak in the hot tub to relax and recharge. We loved that it is dog friendly, and we were able to include our 2 pups as well. They felt right at home, and instantly relaxed as well. We will definite be returning!

Cute & Cozy for people and pups!
Such a nice and cozy cabin! We enjoyed the hot tub every night after hiking with our pups and sitting around the fireplace, enjoying the quiet evenings. So many cute little amenities provided by the owners too! The retro kitchen was well stocked and you didnt need to bring anything! Robes provided, a large pile of firewoood, and the cutest dog bed! I would definitely recommend Stella Blue if you're looking for a quiet, cozy, and romantic getaway where your fur baby is also welcomed!

Cozy Cabin. Beautiful Location.
What an amazing weekend spent in Stella Blue!! I was looking for a cozy cabin for two. This cabin did not disappoint!! We spent most of our time at the fire pit despite the rain because it was covered! The kitchen was totally equipped so we enjoyed cooking. Centrally located so we strapped on our boots and hiked old man’s cave AND ash cave. The hot tub was great after a long day of hiking. Thank you for a real good time!!

Perfect serene getaway!
Brian and Amelia really have thought of everything you need for a getaway. We arrived to a bottle of wine and a small basket of snacks. The cabin is very clean, thoughtfully decorated, and has amazing amenities. We loved that the property is private and quiet, it was a nice change from city living. We enjoyed unwinding in the hot tub in the evenings and sitting by the fire pit. My personal favorite spot was the porch swing, I spent a good deal of time sitting there while listening to music on the record player. We also very much appreciate that the cabin is dog–friendly, our four-legged friends also enjoyed their stay. We packed way more stuff than we needed to. The cabin is equipped with almost everything you can think of including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, dish soap, tinfoil, plastic baggies, dishes, towels, coffee, spices, dog bowls, dog bed, treats, etc. it was like staying in someone’s home. The cabin is small, but reasonably sized for two people. We unpacked and put most of our things in the big dresser in the bedroom, and put our bags under the bed. The bigger totes and luggage we put out on the front porch to keep the inside of the cabin uncluttered since there isn’t much storage space. We ventured out to Old Man’s Cave one day, it was about a 25 minute drive from the cabin. We also stopped at Walmart to pick up a few things, also about 25 minutes away. We only had two full days at the cabin and the second day we decided to stay put, relax and enjoy the amenities. Next time we will definitely book a longer stay! We are getting married in just a couple of months and talked about going back to the cabin in the future to celebrate anniversaries.

Total privacy
Set in a serene setting. No nearby neighbors. Located upon a hill crest from the rural street below. You can hear motor sounds passing by, but at a respectable pace due to location. According to address and address mailbox at the street there is a residence above the property, however is not visible nor hindered our stay. Since we are well familar with the hocking hills area, we chose to just bring the dogs and stay put for 2 full days. Enjoyed the spa, firepit area, yard and interior as well. Cute, quaint and totally peaceful. Which is what we were out for!

Wedding Anniversary Getaway!
My husband of 37 years and our two small dogs stayed, and Stella Blue and we loved it. We spent our days hiking and would come back to enjoy the relaxing fire pit, the hot tub, and cooking on the Blackstone. We cooked all our meals on it and loved it. The location was exactly what we were looking for, a true getaway; completely remote, quiet, relaxing, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The extra touches Brian & Amelia do to make it special were really appreciated, which included a comfy bed, coffee beans, dog treats, beautiful coffee mugs, and wood for the fire. Thank you for making our trips one of our best!

I booked this cabin without realizing it was the cabin we stayed at in 2021. Since it became Stella Blue, it looks so different! The renovation is beautiful from the inside to the out. We loved the upgraded porch swing, added hammock, beautiful concrete work, seating area by the fire ring, the comfy couch and bed, etc!
