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.

Love to hear the rain didn't damper your time in Hocking Hills and the amenities helped to make it an enjoyable time regardless of weather! We appreciate the 5-stars, Trisha!
Everything was great. The cabin was beautiful and the views were great in the snow. Sitting in the hot tub on the porch watching the snow come down was very cool! We enjoyed our trip so much!

We appreciate the recommendation, Steven! And we're happy to hear you and your family enjoyed the view :) Come back anytime!
Cabin was beyond our expectations. Everything was cleaned, well maintained, owners were super responsive and the property was lovely. We hope to return!
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! I will look for this and their other properties first anytime I return to Hocking Hills!

Scenic, quiet refuge with clean, comfy accommodations. Hot tub, sauna and fire pit as well as many fun outdoor games. Loved the big porch with wooden gliders. Easy access to Hocking Hills recreation.

So glad to hear you enjoyed the cabin's various amenities and comfortable perch above the Hocking Hills scenery! Hope we see you again sometime, Barbara!
My family and I stayed here for 4 days and it was such a wonderful experience. The sunsets were breath taking and the peacefulness of just sitting on the porch and relaxing was very serene. The bonfires were great and the hot tub was relaxing. I would highly recommend this cabin.

About the host
Hosted by Dan and Casey
Casey and Dan are the owners/operators of Reflections 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.
