Heart Haus on the Hill - Near Hocking Hills, Updated/Private/Comfortable!
Close to Hocking Hills, our updated cabin sits high up on a hill about 60 ft above the road in a very private setting. Half the fun is getting up here & once you are, you will enjoy complete privacy & solitude! Two large decks w/adorable heart railings, a balcony, secluded firepit, three levels of living space, cozy bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms & well-equipped kitchen. Only a short drive to Old Man's Cave & the entire Hocking Hills region, nearby lakes, parks, fishing, wineries, shopping & dining! And we have good cell service coverage at our cabin and guess what else? Doordash delivers here!
Perfect for a family, ladies getaway, besties getaway, holidays, anniversary or couple’s retreat. There is plenty of space meant for relaxation and comfort and room for everyone! It’s a hidden gem nestled under a canopy of mature trees and convenient to Rt 33 in southern Fairfield County just 20 minutes to all that Hocking Hills has to offer.
LOWER LEVEL: With the entrance into the finished basement level, you’ll find a family room, dining table (perfect for a puzzle or crafting) and children's play area with games, tee pee, half bathroom and a bedroom (bedroom 3) with queen size bed, 32” smart TV, dresser and a desk or vanity. Bedroom 3 is a great place for an office if you have to work while on vacation.
MAIN LEVEL: One level up (the main level) offers a large living room and dining room with 50” smart TV and an open kitchen with all you’ll need for meal prep including a pantry and well-equipped coffee & tea bar. A sitting area in the kitchen is the perfect spot for a cup of coffee or tea looking out into the woods. Panoramic views from the living and dining room are breathtaking. We also have a booster seat/high chair for a small child. Access to the decks, firepit and charcoal grill are on this main level. The full bathroom, also on this level, features a tub/shower combination.
UPPER LEVEL: The upper level of the Heart Haus features a primary bedroom (bedroom 1) with comfortable king size bed, 32” smart TV, dresser, closet, vanity and private balcony. The vanity also makes a great desk to work from. The additional bedroom across the hall (bedroom 2) offers two full size beds, dresser, closet and reading chair. Each bedroom has been thoughtfully designed for your comfort in mind. Please note there is not a bathroom on this upper level. The balcony off of BR 1 is a very special place & overlooks the hills and amazing sunsets. You're up at the top of the trees from this balcony.
The wrap around decks provide space for outdoor dining, patio seating, charming fairy lights, a balcony, firepit & a charcoal grill all for your private use. This secluded location offers picturesque views of the night sky & surrounding hills. We also have a few white tail deer who sometimes make their appearance.
You’ll clearly see why our cabin is called the Heart Haus…you’ll feel the love throughout. From the German inspired heart railings around the decking to the hints of love in nearly every room, you feel right at home for a perfect cabin getaway!
Over one acre of privacy in the woods with an entire cabin to yourself and hardly another home in sight! You’ll be close to Hocking Hills, hiking, fishing, canoeing, shopping, dining, wineries, breweries, convenient to Rt 33 and situated between Lancaster and Logan.

TESTIMONIALS - What other guests have had to say about their stay at the Heart Haus: "I have a crush on Heart Haus. Loved having my morning coffee with mama and baby deer visitors only 20 feet away. Lots of little thoughtful touches and cuteness at every turn. I had to work on the first day of the trip and the downstairs bedroom was perfect for that. While zooming from the back deck, my coworkers asked, “Is that a real background?” A fun game to play with kids is to ask them to count all of the hearts. Appears newly renovated with a sweet modern interior design without being cloying. Close to all of the trails without being in the middle of the tourist areas. We will definitely be back!"
"This was one of the most peaceful and beautiful cabins we have ever stayed in. Every little thing was thought of and it truly was just a magical time. It was an incredible cabin. it really felt just like home and we did not want to leave. The outdoor lights were magical and I have never slept in a softer bed. it was the best trip we have had in a long time."

This cabin is exactly what we needed. It was very cozy, spacious and relaxing. The beds were so cozy and definitely some of the coziest beds I’ve ever slept on during vacation! It had everything we needed for a weekend with the family - indoor and outdoor.
Heart Haus was beautiful! We enjoyed the scenery as well as the home itself. Everything was just as described. I wish we would have had more time to relax and enjoy it.
The accommodations were excellent! The beds were comfortable, and everything was easy to find. The driveway was a bit sketchy but we made it!
We would definitely stay there again.
Beautiful cabin, wonderfully appointed. Great for families. Cabin is spacious with 3 floors and room for everyone to spread out. Host provides ample cabin supplies, linens for all and kitchen is very helpdully labeled with items in every drawer and cabinet. Driveway is very steep but do able. Loved our stay here.

Heart Haus was the perfect place to meet up with our adult children for a long weekend. The location was great; right in between Logan and Lancaster gave us lots of options for food and some shopping. Living room was comfortable for relaxing with a movie after a day of hiking and a nice sized dining room table for meals together and board and card games. The fire pit area was so cozy and charming with the strung lights. Sitting on the balcony among the trees was so pleasant! We felt like we were in the middle of nature but not too far away from civilization! Thanks to our host for a great stay!
Stayed at Heart Haus on a whim for a change of scenery and we're so glad we did. The house is adorable, very clean and well-decorated. As many other reviews have stated, the driveway is only intimidating at first glance - it's paved and they have plenty of room to park/turn around/do things. We loved the strings of fairy lights at night, and even though it rained while we were there, the forest was so peaceful and calming. The hosts were communicative and responsive, yet left us lots of privacy and quiet. I can't wait for our next stay! This is a gem nestled in among the trees very close to Ohio's beautiful Hocking Hills region.
We stayed the weekend here with family. There was 6 of us. 3 adults, a 19 yr old, a 17 year old and an 11 yr old. Beds were amazing. Slept great. They had everything we needed. Tara communicated quickly and answered all my questions and even checked in periodically throughout the weekend by text to see if we needed anything. We were even able to get in earlier than expected check in time. The house was quiet and comfortable. Everything was labeled so we could easily find things. It was within a short distance of sight seeing. 100% recommend staying here and would stay here again in the future.
Got there at check in time. Very easy to find. First impression was, that driveway is a bit intimidating(but we got used to it)! Walking into the house you are greeted with a table and a super cute seating area (perfect for kids to have their own space). A bedroom and bathroom on that floor was perfect for my one friend. Walking up to the main level we fell in love. Gorgeous decor, comfy furniture, spaceous kitchen, and nice bathroom. Everything was extremely clean! My personal favorite thing about the house is the master bedroom with the balcony. I got to relax with the door open and enjoy the peace and quiet and smell of nature. We got to experience a bad thunderstorm last night while there. It was awesome! All the trees blowing around you and rain coming down. Very relaxing. Made breakfast and dinner there. It had all the appliances and utensils we needed. Comfy beds, smart tv, cute campfire. It has everything you need for a getaway. Thanks again!
I had a relaxing weekend stay at Heart Haus with my wife and kids. The cabin was very clean and it had everything we needed. Amazing views from all angles of the cabin with plenty of room for us all to relax. Tara was a great host by keeping in touch and accommodating us throughout our stay. We'd love to come back in the future.
Perfect cabin for a mother/daughter/friends weekend. Had all of the essentials. It was cozy and beds were comfortable. We would definitely consider another weekend like this again at this cabin!
Beautiful property! Outside of the hustle bustle of tourist areas but conveniently close enough to beautiful sightseeing in Hocking Hills. My family would have been happy hanging at the cabin but I dragged them to a couple caves!
