About this property

Secluded Cabin on the Hill at Laurel Springs Farm in the Hocking Hills

The Cabin on the Hill features cottage style furnishings with a rustic twist. The flooring is a sustainable art paper floor featuring inlaid fall leaves from the property. Originally built by and home to a young Amish couple that moved to Minnesota with their growing family; we had the cabin moved to our farm on the foot of "the big hill" back in 2005 when we updated it to have electricity, appliances running water. We have an on-demand hot water system for limitless hot water, so feel free to fill the footed slipper tub and relax in the hot spring water or shower off after a day of hiking and then kick back in the oversized chair, the round cuddle couch, or the recliner in front of one of the electric fireplaces. Enjoy the remarkable sunsets overlooking Laurel Run Canyon from the top of the Big Hill. Enjoy the night sky, even the Milky Way, like through the veil of darkness only found in the remote night skies. Relax in front of the gas fire pit or slip into the hot tub for a relaxing soak.

Enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience in the Hocking Hills.

Want to explore the Hocking Hills State Parks? We are a short drive to many of the parks and guests have access to a trail to the hilltop on our property .

Want to go horseback riding? The Spotted Horse Ranch is less than a mile from our farm. Or go canoeing or rafting in nearby Logan or rock climbing at the new High Rock Adventures in Rockbridge just off Route 33. Need to grab some groceries, gas or visit a local eatery? We are just 3 miles from Laurelville, featuring the world famous Laurelville cider or stop by The Ridge Inn for Jo's famous donuts! So, there are conveniences and attractions nearby, but they are completely out of site as you go into seclusion at the cabin!

Other on-site activities such as walking the trails on the hill overlooking the canyon, barns and pond. Drop a line to catch a fish - we offer catch-and-release bluegill and bass and the occasional turtle from the dock on our spring-fed pond using our simple homemade cane poles. Bait is available in Laurelville, or use a piece of hot dog to catch a bluegill!

Bring your hiking boots and enjoy the breathtaking view from the top of the big hill or even spread out a blanket and picnic and enjoy the one-of-a-kind view.

Enjoy the overlooking views from the full wrap around porch.
Grill something delicious to eat on the custom charcoal park-style grill pit.

The MAIN floor bedroom has a queen-sized Serta Perfect Sleeper with Eurotop. The LOFT bedroom has a queen mattress with a foam topper and additional feather bed topper. The walk-out/daylight basement has a high-quality queen size pull-out SOFA BED with separate foam topper available for your comfort.

Clean bedding and pillows are available for each bed.

A round hot tub is available for your enjoyment on the bottom patio.

We installed a cell signal booster for better cellular phone signal access under the metal roof of the cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda & Eric Schmidt

Host profile image
Laurel Springs Farm is a 67-acre family farm found near Laurelville, Ohio in the Hocking Hills owned by Eric and Brenda Schmidt. After a fraudulent business merger that resulted in us losing everything but this land, we decided to try our hand at farming. While challenging in many ways, the work is very rewarding and there are always new things to see, do and learn. We feel blessed that we had this beautiful land to sculpt into our own, have a place for family to visit away from the city and consider the work our exercise which is great for our health!

We are proud parents of 5 grown children and a growing number of grandchildren. Our family inspires us to try to live a more sustainable lifestyle.

We strive to practice sustainable agriculture, promoting the improvement of our whole environment.

Why they chose this property

Unique 67-acre farm surrounding the cabin with hills, a pond, a forest and an amazing view from the top of "the big hill" with unbelievable sunsets views during summer.

What makes this property unique

Secluded, yet close to Hocking Hills Parks and local amenities and adventures. Several acres out of the 67-acre farm are available for you to roam, including access to Lance's Pond and the fishing shack where you will find fishing poles and basic tackle for catch and release fishing. Ask about our seasonal offerings including blueberries, blackberries, chestnuts and other fruits from our orchard and even flowers may be available with separate arrangements. Perfect for newlyweds, anniversaries, birthday celebrations and other special occasions and we very much appreciate the part we get to play in such beautiful memories.
