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

Perched atop a scenic ridge overlooking the creek below, Stella Blue is a newly renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bath tiny cabin that boasts big amenities. You'll love the retro mid-century modern decor accented with custom Amish furnishings throughout, making the space an amazing place to relax and disconnect. Spend the day exploring nearby state parks then return home where you'll 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.

"Brian and Amelia have spared no expense when it comes to amenities and personal touches which was refreshing and truly appreciated" -Casey

The driveway is steep, a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is recommended though not always necessary when the weather is nice. The property may be difficult to access in the winter if there is snow - we make every effort to have the driveway cleared, however, there is a chance you may need to park at the bottom of the driveway and walk up about 400 yards.

Please note there is limited mobile phone reception, especially for Verizon customers. AT&T and T-Mobile customers may get reception but it is not guaranteed.

While the StarLink internet service is incredible for remote areas, please note that storms may cause intermittent connectivity issues.

If you do go down to the creek, please no swimming!

There is another cabin on the property that is unoccupied, please do not try and enter it as it is unsafe.

Lovely Escape

We loved our stay at the cabin. You really do need 4 wheel or AWD for the driveway, it is quite bumpy and gravel. The location is perfect to get to Hocking Hills and the nearby towns for food. Cozy and clean and had everything we needed. While on 7.5 acres you really only have a small flat space for dogs to run around, but they enjoyed themselves regardless.

Perfect getaway

I needed a getaway from being the doer and the fixer and the problem solver of the house. I walked into a cabin where EVERYTHING I needed was thought of, everything WORKED! and there were NO problems! I appreciate the amount of thought and effort by the owners in making this what I consider an ideal get away. Well done!

Tiny gem!

We needed a quiet and private place to get away for the weekend. We found Stella Blue and knew it was the place! Booking and communication was excellent. The guides are SPOT ON for everything that you need to know, which not very common in our rental experiences. Check in was a breeze as well. We used every single amenity that was available- especially loved the Blackstone and hot tub. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept on that wasn’t my own! Our dogs loved it as well. I can definitely put this place on our “will return” list with confidence!

Great cabin and property….very clean and cozy!

Hello- wanted to let you know that my son and I really enjoyed our stay in the Stella Blue cabin. The inside was perfect. It was clean and not cluttered but had everything we needed for 2 nights. I literally didn’t see one bug! I appreciated having towels and linens provided and the chocolate on the bed was a nice touch. My son is 11 and had a blast running around outside with his nerf guns! Loved that everything we needed for a fire was there and easily accessible when we came back from hiking. The hot tub worked perfectly and the lighting around it and the fire pit made it feel really cozy. I would not change anything about the cabin except maybe more Grateful Dead memorabilia lol…but we really liked it and would stay again for sure.

Highly recommend!

Our recent stay at Stella Blue Cabin was nothing short of exceptional. The cabin’s attention to detail and array of amenities made our getaway truly rejuvenating.One of the highlights was the impressive coffee bar, featuring an espresso machine, bean grinder with fresh coffee beans-it was such a treat to get to use! The Blackstone grill on the front porch was another standout feature. We had such a great time preparing meals outdoors while soaking in the serene surroundings. The grill’s versatility made cooking enjoyable and effortless. Beyond these amenities, the cabin offered numerous thoughtful touches that showcased the hosts’ dedication to guest comfort. From the cozy mid-century modern electric fireplace to the luxurious bedding with bamboo sheets, every aspect of the cabin was designed to promote relaxation. The outdoor spaces, including the hot tub overlooking the creek and the covered patio with a fire pit, provided perfect spots to unwind.The combination of these features made us feel genuinely cared for, and we left feeling refreshed and eager to return. We highly recommend Stella Blue Cabin to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with top-notch amenities.

Fall Getaway for 2 plus 2 furbabies

Secluded relaxation, but close enough to enjoy local activities too. Tiny cabin with wonderful little touches. The complimentary bottle of wine was so nice! Our furbabies loved sniffing and laying around too. We enjoyed the Hocking Hills trails and coming back to the hot tub. The coffee bar was awesome! Bed was comfy. Loved the rustic and retro vibe.

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!
