Thanksgiving stay

Overall the house was nice with good amenities. The close proximity to the parks was nice and we did some good hiking. However, the floors were filthy. Proven by light colored socks worn.

Incredible Fall 2024

We really enjoyed the property with the large yard and the very unique house set in the earth. We appreciated the cleanliness and that everything worked i.e. hot tube, showers and appliances. The fire pit was enjoyed by the entire family too!

The Earth home was incredible!

We stayed for a hiking weekend with family and it couldn’t have been better. Communication with Ian was great and quick. The home was clean, modern, and charming. We stayed with 4 kids and 4 adults and there was plenty of room! It was a very relaxing weekend at the Earth home!

Moms trip

House was very unique, cool, and spotless! The owners were amazing. I noticed they didn’t have an iron so I asked them if it was maybe somewhere I didn’t look. They said they don’t have one at the property within maybe an hour they went and bought one and dropped off. Highly would recommend!

Great house

The house was great and had everything you’d need for a stay away from home. We used the fire pit both nights. The outdoor space was very relaxing. We didn’t use the hot tub but it looked nice and clean. The house was cute and stocked with all the essentials. We had a fun time hiking Hocking Hills which was about a 15 minute drive along with most of the restaurants you’d want to hit. Overall great space both inside and out.

Beautiful property

The Earth House exceeded our expectations! It's a beautiful property. Perfectly secluded and relaxing. Being all one level (other than sunken game room) was just what I needed with mobility issues while recovering from an accident. The interior and outdoor space is very modern and up-to-date.

Perfect spot for a weekend stay

My friends and I stayed at the “earth home” for a weekend to celebrate our 40th birthdays. We enjoyed the house and it fit us perfectly (3 couples and 2 singles). The large gathering room was nice, the hut tube was fun and the central location was perfect for hiking, wine tasting and horse back riding. The only negatives with the house was there were only 2 bathrooms, with 1 being in her master bedroom (which left 6 people to share 1 bathroom at times). Also everyone felt the beds were too hard but this is something that could easily be fixed by the owner.

What a gem!

I can't say enough about the Earth Home--what a great place to call "home" for a few days! It is surprisingly bright and cheerful for an underground home, and so well-appointed. The beds were all very comfortable, and the living space was cozy as well. The hot tub felt amazing after hiking each day. We felt very lucky to find such a great (and dog-friendly) stay in such close proximity to restaurants and Hocking Hills trails. We highly recommend this rental, and would 100% stay here again!

Perfect location and Space

This place was just what we needed. Plenty of space for 4 women to stay and enjoy some catching up. The hot tub and fire ring outside was perfect for ending the evening with the sunset over the hill. We loved the locations too - about 15 minutes from Logan, and all the best Hocking Hills hiking trails. Will definitely be sharing this property with friends!

Welcome to Living The Dream Cabins! Our story is all about family and our love for Hocking Hills. We are literally LIVING THE DREAM in that we get to share this beautiful part of Ohio with the rest of the country! WE LOVE IT HERE!!

The Koblitz family has been visiting Hocking Hills for the last 40+ years, and in 2015 decided to build our own legacy. 

Ian, with 20 years of real estate experience, found his true calling in short-term rentals. He is the visionary and mastermind behind our properties – each designed to offer a one-of-a-kind stay. Alongside his wife, Megan, they have turned their love for real estate into something truly special – dedicating themselves to creating unique and memorable experiences for each of their guests.

In the last decade, we have grown our portfolio to include our OG Family Cabin, Treehouse, Underground Earth Home, Grain Silo, Airstream Glamper, and our newest Retro Cabin. 

However, we are NOT a big cabin company! Every property has been carefully designed, constructed, remodeled, and maintained by us. Our team is truly a family affair!

We take immense pride in providing a 5-star experience for all of our guests, paying attention to every detail and the thoughtful touches that make your stay unforgettable.

THANK YOU for choosing Living The Dream Cabins. We hope you feel right at home and enjoy your stay as much as we enjoy making it special for you!
