Shurtz Overlook is part of the BeHome family of properties (@behome_cle) and provides panoramic views of the Hocking Hills region like few other properties can! Sitting atop Shurtz Hill, guests can enjoy the comforts of home while taking in the gorgeous views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The cabin is one of the best seats for stepping back and truly taking in the beauty of Hocking Hills from up high.

The cabin is equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay and affords both private and communal spaces for your friends/family to recharge, rekindle, and reinvigorate. Shurtz Overlook is the perfect setting for connecting where it counts and disconnecting from what doesn't.

COMFORT: Shurtz Overlook offers three queen size bedrooms, a bunk room, and a futon to comfortably sleep 10 guests. The cabin also has a hot tub, fast/reliable WiFi, wraparound porch, outdoor fire pit, and other comforts.

CONVENIENCE: Located in the heart of the Hocking Hills region. Easy, quick access to Hocking Hills favorites, including Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Conkle's Hollow, Cedar Falls, and more! Abundant beauty and hiking to enjoy year round. Also convenient for Hocking Hills activities, such as zip lining, trail riding, rock climbing, and many others!

CLEANLINESS: We employ local professional cleaners who understand that our guests want to immediately settle in and feel confident that the cabin is up to their standards.

We are animal lovers and allow up to 2 dogs at the cabin. Dog(s) need to be over 1 year old, less than 60 lbs, fully house trained, and guests must be willing to adhere to rules around having dogs at the cabin. Dogs are $30/day each plus a refundable damage deposit.

Shurtz Overlook balances the desired seclusion and proximity to the trails, caves, and waterfalls that many guests seek. Guests won't have to see another person during their stay if that's your preference, but can also quickly access the best hikes that Hocking Hills State Park offers:

8.0 miles or 12 minute drive to Hocking Hills State Park
8.0 miles or 12 minute drive to Ash Cave
9.8 miles or 15 minute drive to Cedar Falls
11.8 miles or 19 minute drive to Old Man's Cave

**Parties/large events are not allowed at the cabin.**

Guest access: Guests will have access to the full cabin, all building amenities, and 13 acres of secluded land. There is a large gravel parking area outside of the cabin that can accommodate several vehicles.

Cabin Quirks: We love coming down to our cabin for its cozy charm and the way Hocking Hills allows us to unplug from our hectic day to day routines. It gives us the gift of quality time together and the chance to focus on the moments that count. Hocking Hills cabins often have quirks, including well water (some guests prefer to bring bottled water) and WiFi/cell service that's spotty at times.

Guests are encouraged to review the cancellation policy and consider purchasing travel insurance to accompany their reservation.

We want you to have an awesome visit to Hocking Hills and enjoy its authentic charm - please reach out with any questions you might have about Shurtz Overlook. It is important to us that the cabin is a good fit for our guests, so please let us know if you have any particular questions/concerns prior to booking or your arrival.

Our stay was perfect. There were so many little touches from the smores kit to lawn games to the supplies for our dog to be comfortable. It was a truly amazing experience and allowed us to relax and enjoy each others company while not worrying about a thing!

Wonderful stay!

Stayed at this cabin with a group of friends. The location was gorgeous and the hosts put so much thought into little touches (s’mores kit, solar lights by the fire pit, hot tub towels ready and waiting, etc). Home was beautiful and well appointed and communication with the hosts was easy. I would definitely rent this property again.

Shurtz Overlook: Great Stay at Hocking Hills

Children and grandchildren joined my wife and I on this visit to Hocking Hills where we had the distinct pleasure of staying at Shurtz Overlook for three nights. Having rented cabins at Hocking at least a dozen times, this was probably the best for many reasons. Easy booking with extremely responsive hosts, very clean and detailed cabin, and great location within Hocking with amazing views are just some of the attributes of this rental. So if you're looking for a rental at Hocking that feels more like a home and has just about everything you could want with great support, we would highly recommend Shurtz Overlook.

We were able to enjoy all that hocking hills has to offer, and then come home to relax in this beautiful log cabin that had a great view of the stars. The host did an excellent job communicating during our whole visit, and had alot of nice touches in the house to make us feel very welcome.

Perfect getaway for the family!

We had a wonderful stay at Shurtz Overlook! The location was perfect - we were near hiking and local attractions, yet remote enough to allow for the true "getaway" we needed. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit in the evenings! We had a few minor issues, but Dan & Casey were quick to respond, addressing our issue within the hour. The best part about this cabin was that it was dog friendly! Our pups had the best time - thank you for sharing your lovely cabin with our family!

Pre-Christmas Retreat

This cabin was amazing! Dan and Casey thought of everything for a great retreat. The cabin was immaculately clean and had everything needed to relax and enjoy! The view was top notch while sitting by the fire, soaking in the hot tub after a day of hiking, or relaxing on the couches in the great room looking out the huge windows. There is no doubt that when we come back to Hocking Hills, this will be our place to stay! Merry Christmas!

This property was so incredible. We had the best time at this cabin. It was so clean, so comfortable, and the owners were so accommodating to our needs. They had everything we needed. The property was gorgeous and so close to Hocking Hills. We had some trouble with the Wi-Fi and they were so quick to help us and send someone out to fix the situation. I would absolutely recommend this property again and hope to stay again in the future.
