The Carpenter's Cabin sits in a storybook setting by nestling into the pines on 32 wooded acres. This architectural gem is a favorite of families & groups.

Our living area stands out with its unique conversation pit that has captured the attention of architecture enthusiasts globally. Recognized as one of the "must-see" vacation rentals worldwide, the space is designed to foster warmth and engagement. The stylish, sun-drenched living room, equipped with a modern electric fireplace and high-definition television, invites guests to relax in comfort.

Our walkout lower level is thoughtfully designed for entertainment and relaxation. It's not just an ordinary space — with a sprawling sectional sofa, this area invites families and friends to gather for movie nights and board games. The bunk room is a cozy alcove, featuring full-over-full beds, making it the perfect hideaway for both the young and young at heart. A full bath and direct access to the inviting hot tub and a (seasonal) hammock await, make it a suite of its own.

Our amply-stocked kitchen is the heart of the cabin, offering a suite of culinary tools including a mixer, blender, waffle maker, and both French press and standard coffee makers. Organic coffee, & teas are provided, as well as basic spices. The space is equipped with essentials to serve up to twelve guests. Our dining area accommodates ten people comfortably, with additional seating at the kitchen island.

Each of our beds offers organic bamboo sheets and organic linen duvet covers. Bedrooms have bedside tables, reading sconces, reading chairs with floor lamps, and perfectly placed outlets for your needs.

Turkish Cotton/Eucalyptus bath towels, organic body products are provided for your stay as well as functional items such as hooks, baskets, and shelving to place your personal items..

Our mini-Carpenter's Cabin for kids' play, the Jaybird Fort, is perfect for your family getaway! Just steps away from the Carpenter's Cabin, this 8'x8' fort is sure to bring lots of adventurous play for younger guests.

Our luxury, sustainably built and furnished, modern cabin sleeps up to 8 adults and 12 total guests- all in beds - yet is cozy enough for two. No more than 6 children under age 12 please.

Enjoy local activities for which the area is known... 5-20 minutes away, or choose to stay on property as many of our guests choose to do, and explore our private trails.

For stays of 4 or more nights, you may opt for our Concierge Cleaning Service mid-stay for an additional $65. This includes refreshing bath items, fresh towels, a quick vacuum, and surface cleaning of kitchen and baths for up to one hour on-site.

Only the number of guests listed on the reservation are allowed on property. No bachelorette or bachelor parties, or parties/events of any type.

Experience the best Hocking Hills has to offer; the only vacation rental in Ohio added to a curated list of just 1800 unique vacation rentals around the world and showcased on Magnolia Network.

We highly recommend purchasing the travel insurance offered by VRBO, as things happen. It is reasonably priced and worth the peace of mind. Price shown includes our nightly rate, cleaning fee, lodging tax, and VRBO's charge to the guest.

About the host

Hosted by Jami Jenkins

Host profile image
I am an interior & architectural designer who enjoys creating unique, highly functional spaces that make people instantly feel both comfortable and inspired. The Carpenter's Cabin was designed as our personal, multi-generational, family getaway, shared with others when we're not enjoying it. GloCabin is a romantic, magical escape for two. Twelve34 House is our most luxe property, and our most modern, inspired by Mid-Century Modernism. Each has a very distinct design, and distinct surroundings, but all are sustainable, luxury rentals. Rent one or bring the entire family and rent all three.

Why they chose this property

Our 32 beautiful acres is about 5 miutes north of downtown Laurelville and 5-25 minutes to everything Hocking County Ohio offers.

The Carpenter's Cabin offers four stories to enjoy and explore on a tiny footprint of just 934sf, but lives large with 1710 finished sf of interiors and an additional 1000sf of outdoor decks and patio to enjoy.

Our most popular feature, the conversation pit, has been shared on many high profile media sources including Bob Vila, Midwest Living Magazine, and SHLTR, as well as showcased on Magnolia Network's, The Cabin Chronicles.

Be sure to explore our trails that meander along our creeks, our beautiful ravine, through pines, and deciduous trees. Any season makes for a beautiful stay at the cabin. Be sure to bring rubber boots - creeking is so much fun, especially for the children!
