About this property
Carpenter’s Cabin, Family Fave, Conversation Pit + Kids’ Fort + Hot Tub + Trails
DESIGN FAVORITE: The Carpenter’s Cabin
Featured on television and in print around the world, including Discovery+ and Magnolia Network, The Carpenter’s Cabin is a luxury Hocking Hills cabin tucked into a secluded pine forest on 32 private wooded acres. With four stories, private trails, an iconic conversation pit, hot tub, and space for up to 12 guests, this design-forward retreat has become a favorite for families, groups, and memorable getaways.
HIGHLIGHTS
• 32 private wooded acres with trails • Secluded pine forest setting • Four-story architectural cabin • Iconic conversation pit • Jaybird children’s fort • Hot tub, patio, fire pit & outdoor gathering spaces • Three large covered decks, including a third-story screened deck with hammock chairs • Two media rooms with Smart TVs • Loft library • Two primary suites • Sleeps up to 12 guests in 7 real beds (great for families & groups) • Three full baths • Eco-conscious construction and thoughtfully curated furnishings • Organic linens and body products • Blackstone grill • Fully equipped kitchen • Wi-Fi throughout
The Carpenter’s Cabin sits in a storybook setting nestled among the pines, creating a sense of privacy and escape while still being close to the area’s most popular attractions.
The heart of the cabin is its signature conversation pit — a warm, sun-filled gathering space recognized by architecture and design enthusiasts around the world. Designed to encourage connection and conversation, this unforgettable room invites guests to slow down, settle in, and spend time together. Complete with a modern electric fireplace and television, it is both beautiful and comfortable.
The walkout lower level was created for entertainment and relaxed evenings together. A large sectional sofa provides the perfect spot for movie nights, board games, or simply unwinding after a day exploring Hocking Hills. The bunk room creates a cozy hideaway for younger guests and guests young at heart, while a full bath and direct access to the hot tub and seasonal hammock area make the lower level feel like a retreat of its own.
The kitchen serves as the heart of gathering and is thoughtfully stocked with cooking essentials, including a mixer, blender, waffle maker, French press, standard coffee maker, and tools for preparing meals for your group. Organic coffee, teas, and basic spices are provided. The dining area comfortably seats ten guests, with additional seating available at the kitchen island.
Bedrooms throughout the cabin were designed with comfort in mind. Each bed includes organic bamboo sheets and organic linen duvet covers, along with bedside tables, reading sconces, seating, and convenient charging access.
Turkish cotton and eucalyptus bath towels, organic body products, and thoughtful touches such as hooks, baskets, and shelving help make your stay comfortable and functional.
Families especially love the Jaybird Fort — our mini Carpenter’s Cabin designed just for kids. Located steps away from the cabin, this playful little hideaway creates opportunities for imagination and adventure during your stay.
Though spacious enough to sleep up to 12 guests, The Carpenter’s Cabin remains cozy enough for a quiet retreat for two.
Enjoy the local attractions Hocking Hills is known for, many just 5–20 minutes away, or simply stay on property and spend your time exploring private trails and relaxing among the pines.
Please note: Only registered guests listed on the reservation are permitted on the property. We do not allow bachelor or bachelorette parties, events, or gatherings of any kind.

What a great place to stay. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. We used the fire pit and hot tub a lot, really enjoyed both. Host was very easy to work with. Loved Hocking Hills.
We had the best trip to the Carpenter’s Cabin and are already looking forward to our next visit. The cabin was clean, well stocked and so much fun! Perfect place for kids and adults!
My friends and I stayed here for two nights, just to relax, eat/drink, and catch up! The home is absolutely gorgeous and super clean. We loved it and will absolutely be back!
We really enjoy this property. The owners were extremely responsive and the property was beautiful. We enjoyed being able to get away for a few nights and enjoy the outdoors and relaxation time.
Definitely would recommend staying here for a long weekend with friends and family. It is fully equipped and well taken care of. The beds are very comfortable and kitchen had everything you could need.
Just a great stay in a cozy, well done cabin. Very private. Loved the firepit area. We may have danced around it a bit. Great beds, and everything was stocked well. Just awesome.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Carpenter’s cabin. The home is so special and we are so grateful for our time here and memories made with our kids.
Loved our stay at the Carpenters cabin! Great location and very private. Kitchen was well stocked with even more than expected. Fire pit was the best part.
We had a magnificent stay at this beautiful property! It looks like it’s out of a fairytale as you drive the last bit onto the actual property as you approach the house. The home is incredible and every little nook is turned into a creative space. Every detail has been thought out to perfection! We look forward to returning again and spending a magical weekend in those beautiful woods!
Super sophisticated and well constructed, our daughters (both industrial designers) loved the architecture and the appointments. Kids had an absolute blast. Thanks so much!
Property was great for privacy, owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The location was perfect for any hiking you'd want to do in hocking hills. The house was very clean, well stocked and just as described in the listing. Truly one of the best places we've stayed. We would definitely plan on coming back for another stay and would love to see in different seasons. Thanks for a great stay! We loved Hocking Hills!
This property has everything your extended family needs for adventure and relaxation. Three separate floors and three bathrooms, so everyone has some privacy. Wonderful outdoor spaces. Close to all of Hocking Hills attractions. Very attentive hosts who fulfilled our request in 30 minutes. Highly recommend!!
We came out there with our family of nine. It was us and our adult children and had the absolute best time. Cabin was perfectly stocked and the beds were so comfy we would absolutely recommend this place. Thank you !!!
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!
The Carpenters cabin provided everything we needed, and more, to slow down and spend quality time as a family! Our 13 year old (m) loved spending time outdoors exploring, while our 8 year old (f) enjoyed the coziness of the book loft!! During our short stay I most enjoyed the hammock chairs in the screened in porch on the 3rd floor, where I spent hours reading!!Scott & Jami were communicative before and during our stay, making for a stressfree experience! My families visit here fostered memories we will truly cherish forever!!!
We had our children, spouses and grandchildren for a 3 day stay. The cabin was perfect, the k8ds loved it. The grandchildren loved the conversation pit the decks and hot tub. The 4 year old said the plat house was her house and loved playing in it.
The location is convenient and the cabin has all the relevent supplies we needed.
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!
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!
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!
Beautiful stay with amenities that nearly require a three day stay to fully enjoy. This was the perfect and ideal gathering for our Bookclub, I will be sure to book again in the future.
