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

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.

Great time!
The hosts were very informative even before we got down there! And kept in contact the entire stay! The cabin was very clean and had all amenities we needed! The views were awesome, hot tub was awesome, sauna was awesome! The corn hole and connect four were great to play on the HUGE wrap around porch when it ended up raining for just a little bit! Highly recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Casey

Host profile image
Casey and Dan are the owners/operators of Blooming Cabins in Hocking Hills, a small collection of chalet-style properties. Casey grew up in the country while Dan's been more or less a lifetime city dweller. We met in Columbus and Casey was anxious to share her love of the Hocking Hills region, something that goes back many years. We never dreamt that we'd own a cabin of our own there, but are excited at the chance to host guests at our home away from home, where we go when we need a respite from the hectic day-to-day. We love traveling, having visited France, China, Russia, Ireland, Spain, Greece, The Netherlands, and Mexico over the years, and hope that list just continues to grow. Across all of those trips, the hospitality we received was always crucial in shaping our travels and we hope to provide the absolute best to all of our guests.

Why they chose this property

Shurtz Overlook manages to be a cozy, yet spacious chalet-style cabin that can meet the needs of most family or friend gatherings. Tucked in the heart of Hocking Hills, you can easily access all that the area has to offer or simply get away from the day-to-day grind for a relaxing few days. We're here for you during your stay, but allow our guests the freedom to enjoy the cabin without interruption. If needed, we also employ a local host who is available 24/7 for any emergency issues involving the cabin.

What makes this property unique

Perched atop Hocking Hills, the cabin offers expansive views of the Hocking Hills forest and valleys. It's rare to find a property that can offer a similar perspective of both Hocking Hills below as well as the gorgeous sunrises, sunsets, and star-filled skies above.
