About this property

Secluded Cabin on the Hill at Laurel Springs Farm in the Hocking Hills

The Cabin on the Hill features cottage style furnishings with a rustic twist. The flooring is a sustainable art paper floor featuring inlaid fall leaves from the property. Originally built by and home to a young Amish couple that moved to Minnesota with their growing family; we had the cabin moved to our farm on the foot of "the big hill" back in 2005 when we updated it to have electricity, appliances running water. We have an on-demand hot water system for limitless hot water, so feel free to fill the footed slipper tub and relax in the hot spring water or shower off after a day of hiking and then kick back in the oversized chair, the round cuddle couch, or the recliner in front of one of the electric fireplaces. Enjoy the remarkable sunsets overlooking Laurel Run Canyon from the top of the Big Hill. Enjoy the night sky, even the Milky Way, like through the veil of darkness only found in the remote night skies. Relax in front of the gas fire pit or slip into the hot tub for a relaxing soak.

Enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience in the Hocking Hills.

Want to explore the Hocking Hills State Parks? We are a short drive to many of the parks and guests have access to a trail to the hilltop on our property .

Want to go horseback riding? The Spotted Horse Ranch is less than a mile from our farm. Or go canoeing or rafting in nearby Logan or rock climbing at the new High Rock Adventures in Rockbridge just off Route 33. Need to grab some groceries, gas or visit a local eatery? We are just 3 miles from Laurelville, featuring the world famous Laurelville cider or stop by The Ridge Inn for Jo's famous donuts! So, there are conveniences and attractions nearby, but they are completely out of site as you go into seclusion at the cabin!

Other on-site activities such as walking the trails on the hill overlooking the canyon, barns and pond. Drop a line to catch a fish - we offer catch-and-release bluegill and bass and the occasional turtle from the dock on our spring-fed pond using our simple homemade cane poles. Bait is available in Laurelville, or use a piece of hot dog to catch a bluegill!

Bring your hiking boots and enjoy the breathtaking view from the top of the big hill or even spread out a blanket and picnic and enjoy the one-of-a-kind view.

Enjoy the overlooking views from the full wrap around porch.
Grill something delicious to eat on the custom charcoal park-style grill pit.

The MAIN floor bedroom has a queen-sized Serta Perfect Sleeper with Eurotop. The LOFT bedroom has a queen mattress with a foam topper and additional feather bed topper. The walk-out/daylight basement has a high-quality queen size pull-out SOFA BED with separate foam topper available for your comfort.

Clean bedding and pillows are available for each bed.

A round hot tub is available for your enjoyment on the bottom patio.

We installed a cell signal booster for better cellular phone signal access under the metal roof of the cabin.

Beautiful, comfortable retreat

My family loved our stay at the cabin on the hill. The home was clean and had everything as advertised. The beds were comfortable, the tap water was DELICIOUS, and it was close enough to everywhere around Hocking Hills that we wanted to visit. We had good dinners at the Ridge Inn and Laurelville Pizza. Would come back!

Charming cabin on the hill

The location was picturesque and just enough off the beaten path/secluded to make it feel like a true escape. Cabin has great views and ample outdoor space considering being on a hill. There is a fishing pond within walking distance, a very nice and sheltered hot tub, a fun and relaxing covered porch with swing/glider/rocker, and a small and cozy but well-equipped kitchen. Plenty of space and separation in the cabin to be able to spread out and relax independently. The indoor spiral staircase was a tad intimidating, but fine with some care and caution. Spacious laundry room in lower level was stocked with plenty of extra towels/blankets and featured a large fridge. Good communication from hosts. Rustic yet clean choice with lots of character. Would stay again.

Perfect place!

We couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more! We loved reading about the history of the cabin and noticing all of the little details of the place throughout our stay. The cabin was clean, cozy, quiet, and comfortable! We have already discussed making a trip back and staying here again! Our only regret is that we didn't order the freshly baked goods from the hosts menu...we won't make that mistake next time! :) little details

Secluded, relaxing, clean

We've stayed many places in Hocking Hills, this was among the best. Very clean and thoughtful accomodations. The hot tub was really nice, and the view atop the hill was very cool. Directly next door to horseback riding as well (a 1 minute drive). Would stay here again, and certainly would recommend.

Beautiful Property, Amazing Log Home

We really enjoyed our stay here! Loved the country peace and quiet. The fire pit, hot tub and the bonus was a washer and dryer! Which was especially great since I have two little boys who “loved” the country and proceeded to get very dirty playing outside. Very comfortable stay. Nice place to get away from phones , ipads and technology in general!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda & Eric Schmidt

Host profile image
Laurel Springs Farm is a 67-acre family farm found near Laurelville, Ohio in the Hocking Hills owned by Eric and Brenda Schmidt. After a fraudulent business merger that resulted in us losing everything but this land, we decided to try our hand at farming. While challenging in many ways, the work is very rewarding and there are always new things to see, do and learn. We feel blessed that we had this beautiful land to sculpt into our own, have a place for family to visit away from the city and consider the work our exercise which is great for our health!

We are proud parents of 5 grown children and a growing number of grandchildren. Our family inspires us to try to live a more sustainable lifestyle.

We strive to practice sustainable agriculture, promoting the improvement of our whole environment.

Why they chose this property

Unique 67-acre farm surrounding the cabin with hills, a pond, a forest and an amazing view from the top of "the big hill" with unbelievable sunsets views during summer.

What makes this property unique

Secluded, yet close to Hocking Hills Parks and local amenities and adventures. Several acres out of the 67-acre farm are available for you to roam, including access to Lance's Pond and the fishing shack where you will find fishing poles and basic tackle for catch and release fishing. Ask about our seasonal offerings including blueberries, blackberries, chestnuts and other fruits from our orchard and even flowers are available with separate arrangements. Perfect for newlyweds, anniversaries, birthday celebrations and other special occasions and we very much appreciate the part we get to play in such beautiful memories.
