Guests have access to the entire home and 7.5-acre property. Please be mindful of the area and do not go beyond the driveway you made the U-turn to get to the cabin as it is private property.
Secluded on 7.5 private acres, there is another cabin nearby that is unoccupied, all of the acreage is yours to explore!
The driveway is steep, a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is recommended though not always necessary when the weather is nice. The property may be difficult to access in the winter if there is snow - we make every effort to have the driveway cleared, however, there is a chance you may need to park at the bottom of the driveway and walk up about 400 yards.
Please note there is limited mobile phone reception, especially for Verizon customers. AT&T and T-Mobile customers may get reception but it is not guaranteed.
While the StarLink internet service is incredible for remote areas, please note that storms may cause intermittent connectivity issues.
If you do go down to the creek, please no swimming!
There is another cabin on the property that is unoccupied, please do not try and enter it as it is unsafe.
Your total reservation fee for this home includes a per-booking damage waiver fee, including any applicable taxes. The damager waiver ensures coverage for any accidental damage caused to the home or its contents, including appliances and furnishings, up to a maximum of $3,000. However, to benefit from this coverage, you must report the incident to the host before you check out. The damage waiver serves as a replacement for the conventional security deposit.
Two security cameras are in place on the property, one facing the driveway and one at the front door. The cameras actively record video for your protection and safety.
This cabin is tucked away in the woods, so from time to time, you may notice a bug or small critter inside. We have regular pest control to help manage this, but nature does have a way of sneaking in. In the fall especially, you might see some lady beetles looking for a cozy spot to land—totally harmless, just part of the seasonal charm of being in the forrest.

Great cabin for 2. Good views, excellent outdoor amenities-hottub, sauna, front porch swing, fire pit, we enjoyed them all. Easy check in and great communication with host. We will definitely be back.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Stella Blue cabin. The scenery was beautiful!! It was a perfect, relaxing getaway for us and our dog. We took a trip to Hocking Hills and Athens while we were there. The host provided all the instructions we needed and the cabin was stocked with everything and more! We loved it and hope to be back again!
The property was beautifully equipped to allow us to have a relaxing time while traveling with our dogs. The property is secluded which allows for a peaceful visit.
We had reservation with Brian for our anniversary weekend. Unfortunately we were unable to stay due to hot tub issues but he was very open and understanding with us; and immediately informed us of the problem. The communication was wonderful; hopefully we can stay here in the future.
We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay! The hot tub and sauna were perfect!

Peaceful Beauty
Everything you could want or need all wrapped up in this beautiful little space. Brian and Amelia thought of everything! So close to your favorite hiking spots. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway in nature this is it, look no further. If I had a four wheel drive I’d spend a winter week here as well. Thank you for everything 🙏

Beautiful and Relaxing!
I rented this cabin as a little getaway for my husband’s birthday, and it was absolutely perfect! The hot tub and sauna were amazing, and the views were stunning. The cabin was so private and quiet, we could really relax and just enjoy the nature around us. Even down to the small touches like the record player and wine and snacks left for us, everything was just perfect! Will definitely be booking again!
We can not say enough great things about this cabin! From the hot tub, fire pit (wood included!), espresso machine, blackstone, game board, and so much more. Perfect spot for a couple to enjoy the cabin amenities and close to all the trails in Hocking Hills! Cant forget to mention how CLEAN everything was! 10 out of 10 for sure!

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled you loved the cabin and enjoyed all the amenities—from the hot tub and fire pit (with wood included!) to the espresso machine, Blackstone, and game board. We’re especially happy to hear everything felt exceptionally clean, as that’s always a top priority for us. It’s great to know the cabin was a perfect spot for a couple’s getaway and that the location made it easy to explore the trails in Hocking Hills. We truly appreciate the 10/10 and would love to welcome you back anytime!
Absolutely loved our stay. Relaxing and so much fun. We saw lots of wildlife on the property. We really enjoyed listening to the music of the forest while sitting by the fire. The hot tub was excellent. I really appreciated the coffee bar and french press and the blackstone grill. 5 stars for sure

Little Slice of Heaven
This cabin certainly beat all expectations! Great location up in a hill surrounded by trees. the cabin itself is small but with plenty of room for two. The decor and appliances add an elegant charm! Small, secluded and was perfect for my relaxing get away for a reset!
Cabin was just like the pictures. It's stocked full inside with everything you would ever need, including full stocked kitchen. We really enjoyed using the sauna, hot tub, grill and fire pit, with firewood included. Very peaceful quiet area , cannot see or hear any neighbors. Great location not far from trails and caves.
Stella Blue cabin was a relaxing escape from the city and work life to celebrate my husband’s 33 birthday. I look forward to returning in warmer weather. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
I can’t recommend this sweet cabin enough! The hosts thought of every last detail and the location was an amazing get away. I hope to return soon!

Amelia and I live in the Columbus, Ohio area and enjoy spending time going to live music events and hiking with our two pups in the Hocking Hills area. While this is the only rental on our profile currently we've been running another highly-rated cabin that sleeps 9 for several years (bookings are managed by a 3rd party) and decided to do this one on our own. we love helping people make memories in the beautiful Hocking Hills region of Ohio!
