NUMBER 6 and NEWEST! The Ellwood Box Hop is a single story, minimal Mid-Century box hop which was designed to span a ravine that is directly over a waterfall! The Ellwood is named after an influential designer based out of LA in the 70’s who was known for his minimal steel and glass (couldn’t be more box hop) designs, Craig Ellwood.
The Hocking Hills is an area of the Allegheny Plateau in Appalachian Ohio, primarily in Hocking County, that features cliffs, gorges, rock shelters, and waterfalls. The relatively extreme topography in this area is due to the Blackhand Sandstone (so named because of Native American graphics on the formation near Newark, Ohio), a particular formation that is thick, hard and weather-resistant, and so forms high cliffs and narrow, deep gorges.
The home can be accessed with a key in a lockbox next to the door.
Although everything is on one story, this home is a jaw dropper. Spanning the seasonal waterfall, you are suspended in the air overlooking the waterfalls edge, into the deep ravine below. Did we mention that there is a glass floor inside? From inside you can look out 3 large panoramic windows to the expansive ravine and waterfalls edge, OR you can look beneath your feet to catch a glimpse of the water before it tumbles over the edge.
INSIDE HIGHLIGHTS: Two bedrooms; 2 full size beds One full bathroom Glass floor Full kitchen stocked with cookware & serving dishes Washer and dryer Air mattress (queen) available
The third Box Hop on the 75 acres, the Ellwood, is situated towards the top of the property and spans a ravine, suspended over a waterfall. The house is absolutely breathtaking in all seasons as you can watch the water tumble over the falls in spring/summer or see them completely frozen into majestic pieces of art in the winter.
There is no shortage of views at this hop and you can easily hike your way towards the marked trails near the other canyon on the property to see the larger cave and waterfall. This house is very secluded and peaceful. A fan favorite by far.
OUTSIDE HIGHLIGHTS: Deck overlooking the ravine with waterfall Outdoor fire pit Gas grill Hot tub Trails and waterfall on property to hike and explore
The driveway is a long gravel driveway. With any inclement weather, we recommend an all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicle. The driveway is maintained by a local company, but we want to be sure that you are aware.

We had an enjoyable stay at the Box hop Ellwood. Beautifully decorated with lots of windows to enjoy sunlight and an amazing view. It was also over a waterfall which was really cool. Close to coffee shop, antique shopping and hiking in hocking hills. Very clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend and look forward to returning.
Beautiful view, beautiful accommodations. Seth was super helpful when we ran into a small issue. 15/10, would rent again!

Ellwood for spring break
Overall our family enjoyed our stay. The Ellwood house was beautiful and well decorated. We were slightly disappointed with the quality of the kitchen appliances and cookware (tiny drip coffee maker, pots and pans that had its finish peeling, only four plates, only four cups meant we were constantly doing dishes). We were looking forward to adding the Ellwood pin to our collection but none were to be found. With a little better quality inside the Ellwood, we would give it five stars. The walk on the property to the waterfall was amazing!
Beautiful property that is very close to some of the best hiking you will experience in the United States. Hot tub was great as well!

We had a wonderful stay here! The Ellwood was clean, comfortable and a lot of fun to stay at! My kids loved the glass floor over looking the waterfall. The location is secluded, with beautiful views of the surrounding woods, but not too far a driving distance to local shopping centers. We were overall really impressed with the homes design and decor and couldnt have asked for a better vacation stay!
Very quiet, clean and peaceful. Any issues were addressed by admin. Heating was a little tricky to maintain and had to leave bedroom door open to keep the temperature comfortable, but we were in a shipping container so it was to be expected. Hot tub was wonderful and it was very private. View was amazing. Everything was provided and we didn't want for anything. Overall stay was great and would highly recommend for a couples retreat.

Unique Experience
The Ellwood was a perfect rental property for our daughter's wedding weekend at The Seventy-Five Venue. The views from the box hop were amazing. Clean and beautifully decorated. Spacious enough for four. people.
Would 100% recommend this place to anyone! Exactly what we needed! Peace and quiet so close to all the hiking attractions. Was a little skeptical about paying a premium price. When other places I found were cheaper. But u do get what u pay for! And this place was well worth every penny in our book! Would def rent again but in a diff one they have! Top notch! Thank you again

Amazing place!!
This place was absolutely amazing!! We loved the hot tub and the beautiful surroundings!! We would love to come back in the summer so we could hike!! The only thing I would suggest was that the furniture in the living room be more comfortable.

Perfectly Relaxing
We had such a fun time at the Ellwood - we’ll for sure be looking at the different Box Hop properties to stay at in the future! Very clean, thoughtful hosts & amazing design!
This was one of the most unique, beautiful, peaceful places I have ever stayed. Highly recommend booking and soaking in all the natural beauty and very comfortable accommodations!
We could not have asked for a more wonderful place to enjoy a low-key Thanksgiving! The location is great - close to shops/coffee and all the main hiking trails. The hardest part was actually getting ourselves to leave the place as they have created a very cozy vibe. We will definitely stay at another box hop property again!
My sister and I went here to get away for a few days and it was the perfect place! The property was clean and looks exactly as it is presented in the pictures. There is plenty to do in the area from hiking in the Hocking Hill State Park to just checking out the local area. While it was a little cold and rainy, we were still able to enjoy our time in the area. Highly recommend renting from here.

Beautiful!
We had such a great time spending our anniversary here! The views were beautiful and so was The Ellwood. We had a little trouble finding it, but the Boxhop staff kindly guided us to where we needed to be. I would highly recommend staying here!

An amazing house
The house lived up to all of our expectations and even surpassed them because of the thoughtful way it is designed and put together. It was perfect for our family of four. The house is cozy in the best possible way. We loved the view of the waterfall through the floor! The hosts are thoughtful about providing everything you could possibly need, including fresh coffee beans from a local roaster. The Hocking Hills area is a gorgeous place to discover and explore.

We loved our stay. The host was very responsive when we submitted a query. We do have some suggestions or improvements, but nothing that seriously detracted from our stay.
