Whitman is a tiny home for two — small footprint, nothing missing. Queen bed under the eaves, personal hot tub on the patio, fire pit stocked and ready for the night ahead.
Whitman is part of a small collection of tiny homes — four in all, tucked close together, each with its own private outdoor space and all part of the same little community at Notestone Reserve. Privacy fencing and planted trees do the work of keeping things quiet and separate. Most guests stay entirely in their own lane — hot tub, fire pit, patio — and that's exactly how it's designed. The game room is there when you want it, and easy to ignore when you don't.
Named for Walt Whitman — whose work celebrated the simple fact of being alive and present — it's one of four tiny homes here, each designed for couples or solo travelers who want to unplug without giving up the good stuff.
🌲 Outside • Personal hot tub (striped towels provided) • Propane grill with tools • Fire pit for s’mores, stargazing, and evening conversations (firewood on site) • Cozy seating for two, with blankets for the cooler nights • Privacy fencing and planted trees between homes
🏠 Inside • Lofted queen bed with crisp linens • Kitchenette stocked with the basics to get you started — salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, foil, and cooking spray. • Coffee bar: coffee maker, coffee, and tea • Towels for every occasion (bath, hand, face, makeup, hot tub) • Smart TV and Bluetooth speaker
🧴 What's Here When You Arrive Every bathroom comes stocked with the good stuff — shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion. One less thing to remember when you're packing for the weekend.
We provide a starter kit of the essentials — 2 rolls of toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, a kitchen sponge, and trash liners. We recommend bringing a little extra just in case.
🏡 The Shared Game Room A short walk across the property, and open to every Notestone guest: • 85" Smart TV • Pool table • Foosball • Basketball arcade • Classic arcade machines and a racing game • Legos, card and board games, indoor cornhole • Plus an outdoor playground for the kids (big and small)
🗺️ What's Nearby Notestone Reserve sits in the heart of the Hocking Hills, close enough to hit two or three trails in a day and still be back in time for the fire pit.
Rock House — 7 minutes Conkle's Hollow — 15 minutes Old Man's Cave — 20 minutes Ash Cave — 26 minutes
Cedar Falls, Cantwell Cliffs, and the rest of the state park system are all within a short drive as well.
📶 About the WiFi We offer Starlink satellite internet. In general it holds up well — most guests have no trouble streaming movies or music without issue. That said, satellite internet is a different animal than what you're used to at home. Video calls and long phone calls can cut out from time to time, especially on cloudy days when the router is working harder to find its signal. We'd rather tell you upfront than have you find out mid-Zoom. If you're planning to work remotely during your stay, it can work — just plan for the occasional hiccup.
🌿 A Note on the Setting We're in a wooded area, and while we stay on top of regular pest control, the occasional ladybug or curious spider showing up is just nature doing its thing.
📋 A Few Things to Note We're a small, family-owned operation, and keeping Notestone calm and well-kept is a group effort. A few things we ask: • No parties or events, including bachelor/bachelorette groups. And no glitter — it never, ever goes away. • Only registered guests on the property • No smoking, vaping, fireworks, ATVs, hunting, or weapons • No commercial photography or videography without written approval • Hot tub: use the striped towels provided and keep the cover on between soaks • Septic-safe: flush toilet paper only; no garbage disposal at the sink • Under normal conditions, our driveways are accessible in just about any vehicle. We are located on back country roads, for that we recommend four wheel drive or all wheel drive during winter months when ice and snow are a factor. The driveway to Whitman is typically accessible in the winter months without needing a 4WD/AWD vehicle.
Check-in: 4:00 PM / Check-out: 10:00 AM
✏️ Before You Arrive All guests sign a simple renter agreement once you book. We'll send it over — quick, painless, and it helps us take good care of you and everyone else on the property.

I have been visiting the HH region for almost 20 years. This was hands down the most beautiful place I have had the pleasure of staying at. Small, beautiful and very accommodating. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.
First, I want to say thank you to Stacey for letting us stay at her beautiful property. Our stay was amazing the place was clean and relaxing. Everything you need for a get away weekend from the city. Highly recommend going with your significant other for a romantic getaway. Will definitely be coming back soon

Thanks so much for the kind words! We are so glad you had a romantic experience and enjoyed the property! We look forward to hosting you again!
Great get away! This home had everything you need. The hot tub was a perfect way to relax each evening. The firepit was great for making s'mores! We will definitely stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Stacey
Hi, I'm Stacey — one of the founders of Notestone Reserve, and the person who's been hands-on in shaping every space on the property.
Restoration is something I think about a lot. The idea that something with potential can become something worth keeping — that broken pieces, arranged with care, can turn into something magnificent. Stained glass works that way. So does Notestone.
This property started as a vision and a lot of hard work. What it is now — ten units across 14 acres in the heart of Hocking Hills, each one named for a writer who paid attention to the world around them — is the result of believing that where you rest matters.
Every detail reflects what I personally look for when I travel: comfort without pretense, nature without roughing it. The kind of place where memories get made without trying — and you leave with a story worth telling.
I'm proud of what we've built. And I'd love to have you here.
Welcome to Notestone Reserve.
What makes this property unique
Whitman is a tiny home for two — personal hot tub, fire pit, and a patio designed for the kind of evening that stretches longer than planned. Small footprint, nothing missing.
As a Notestone Reserve guest you'll also have access to our shared community game room — pool table, basketball arcade, classic arcade machines, and a TV lounge. Most nights it's all yours. It's the kind of bonus that turns a rainy afternoon into the highlight of the trip.
Notestone Reserve sits in Laurelville, right in the heart of Hocking Hills. The waterfalls and trails are within easy reach — but Whitman has a way of making you want to stay put a little longer than planned.
