The Carpenter's Cabin sits in a storybook setting by nestling into the pines on 32 wooded acres. This architectural gem is a favorite of families & groups.

Our living area stands out with its unique conversation pit that has captured the attention of architecture enthusiasts globally. Recognized as one of the "must-see" vacation rentals worldwide, the space is designed to foster warmth and engagement. The stylish, sun-drenched living room, equipped with a modern electric fireplace and high-definition television, invites guests to relax in comfort.

Our walkout lower level is thoughtfully designed for entertainment and relaxation. It's not just an ordinary space — with a sprawling sectional sofa, this area invites families and friends to gather for movie nights and board games. The bunk room is a cozy alcove, featuring full-over-full beds, making it the perfect hideaway for both the young and young at heart. A full bath and direct access to the inviting hot tub and a (seasonal) hammock await, make it a suite of its own.

Our amply-stocked kitchen is the heart of the cabin, offering a suite of culinary tools including a mixer, blender, waffle maker, and both French press and standard coffee makers. Organic coffee, & teas are provided, as well as basic spices. The space is equipped with essentials to serve up to twelve guests. Our dining area accommodates ten people comfortably, with additional seating at the kitchen island.

Each of our beds offers organic bamboo sheets and organic linen duvet covers. Bedrooms have bedside tables, reading sconces, reading chairs with floor lamps, and perfectly placed outlets for your needs.

Turkish Cotton/Eucalyptus bath towels, organic body products are provided for your stay as well as functional items such as hooks, baskets, and shelving to place your personal items..

Our mini-Carpenter's Cabin for kids' play, the Jaybird Fort, is perfect for your family getaway! Just steps away from the Carpenter's Cabin, this 8'x8' fort is sure to bring lots of adventurous play for younger guests.

Our luxury, sustainably built and furnished, modern cabin sleeps up to 8 adults and 12 total guests- all in beds - yet is cozy enough for two. No more than 6 children under age 12 please.

Enjoy local activities for which the area is known... 5-20 minutes away, or choose to stay on property as many of our guests choose to do, and explore our private trails.

Amazing place!

Any description about the place listed is spot on! We went for a couple days with friends and loved every second! Not far from the caves and this place was so secluded and quiet. The kids loved the room/fort at the very top of the stairs. Everything was so comfy and nice/clean. Wish we stayed a couple days longer. The responses from the property owners was very quick and welcoming! Thank you!

Girls Weekend

We had four women staying at Carpenter’s Cabin for the weekend. The Cabin was beautiful and was decorated for the holidays in the most gorgeous way. It was super easy to communicate with the host and they were very helpful in working with us and providing information about the property and the surrounding area.

Spring Break

We had a group of 4 adults and 4 kids between 9-12 years old stay at the house. There was something for everyone to enjoy - every detail from the swings on the porch to the little nook with a bed upstairs was thoughtfully crafted and we used every little nook inside the house. Our girls had a blast in the bunk room in the basement with their own private living room. We enjoyed smores out at the fire pit with a dip in the hot tub afterwards. The house made for a fun and memorable spring break trip with friends! Hope to be back!

Wonderful Getaway!

What a great place to get away with family and friends! The large island in the kitchen helped many hands cook at the same time and the conversation pit was cozy and intimate. We enjoyed hiking the trail on the property and gazing at the stars from the hot tub. The whole place was beautiful, clean, and comfortable.

Cute cozy place!

Our stay was so lovely! The place is so quaint and clean and we didn’t want to leave the property much! The modern decor and furniture made the place feel sophisticated and had a homey feel. There was an issue with water pressure but the property manager was quick to respond and resolve the issue. There was also a manure / egg smell outside that would come and go but overall the place was perfect!

A beautiful, relaxing retreat

We celebrated my twin sisters’ 40th birthday with 6 adults, three children and a toddler. The house had plenty of space for us to spread out and we spent lots of time on the front porch watching the kids play outside. We hiked a few trails at Hocking Hills which is less than 20 minutes from the house and visited the petting zoo for a fall festival. The house is beautiful and you can tell they thought of all the details both in the design of the house and in making it a comfortable space for guests. FYI, if you are traveling with a toddler, bring some sort of gate; the steps downstairs are right in the kitchen; we made a makeshift gate using a luggage rack and a suitcase. So glad we found this gem, I’d love to get back!
