Family Cabin for 6 · Hot Tub · Fire Pit · Dogs OK

Stowe is an original log cabin that's been brought forward without losing what made it worth keeping. White-painted exposed logs, a wraparound deck with string lights, an electric fireplace anchoring the main floor — it's the cabin that feels most like a cabin, and that's exactly the point.

Named for Harriet Beecher Stowe — who paid close attention to the world around her and understood that the most important things happen when people are present with each other — it's one of four cabins at Notestone Reserve, our family-owned 14-acre property in Laurelville.

Perfect for families and friend groups of up to six who want the full cabin experience — original log construction, wraparound deck, electric fireplace, dogs welcome.

Getting Here and Getting Around

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.

• Rock House — 3.3 miles · 7 min
• Conkle's Hollow — 8.8 miles · 15 min
• Old Man's Cave — 11 miles · 20 min
• Ash Cave — 16 miles · 28 min

Cedar Falls, Cantwell Cliffs, and the rest of the state park system are all within a short drive. Cell signal on the back-country roads can be spotty — download your directions before you leave home.

Under normal conditions the driveway is accessible in just about any vehicle. During winter months when ice and snow are a factor, we recommend 4WD or AWD for the back roads leading in — the driveway to Stowe itself is typically fine without it.

About the WiFi

We run Starlink satellite internet. It holds up well for most things — streaming, music, casual browsing. Video calls and long phone calls can cut out occasionally, especially on overcast days. If you're planning to work remotely, it can work, but plan for the occasional hiccup. We'd rather tell you upfront than have you find out mid-Zoom.

A Note on the Setting

We're in a wooded area and stay on top of regular pest control. That said, a ladybug or a curious spider showing up is just Hocking Hills being Hocking Hills.

A Few House Rules

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 genuinely never goes away.
• Registered guests only on the property
• No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property, indoors or out
• No fireworks, ATVs, hunting, or weapons on the property
• No commercial photography or video without written approval
• Hot tub: striped towels only, keep the cover on between soaks, and please don't adjust the temperature • below 100 degrees — it takes several hours to recover
• Septic system: flush toilet paper only, no garbage disposal at the sink
• 4WD/AWD recommended during winter months

Before You Arrive

All guests sign a short renter's agreement after booking. We'll send it over — quick, painless, and it helps us take good care of you and everyone else on the property.

LOCATION DESCRIPTION

Notestone Reserve sits in Laurelville, Ohio — in the heart of the Hocking Hills region. Rock House is 3.3 miles away (about 7 minutes). Cantwell Cliffs is 7.4 miles (about 15 minutes). Conkle's Hollow is 8.8 miles (about 15 minutes). Old Man's Cave is 11 miles out (about 20 minutes), and Ash Cave is 16 miles (about 28 minutes) — a full day of exploring without ever doubling back. 4WD/AWD recommended during winter months. The remoteness is the point.

GETTING THERE

Notestone Reserve is in a rural area of Hocking Hills — the good kind. Under normal conditions the driveways are accessible in just about any vehicle. The back-country roads leading in are a different story in winter — we recommend 4WD or AWD when ice and snow are a factor. The driveway to Stowe itself is typically fine without it.

GETTING AROUND

Once you're here, everything worth seeing in the Hocking Hills is within a short drive. Rock House is 7 minutes. Old Man's Cave is 20. Ash Cave is 28 — far enough to feel like a day trip, close enough to be back for the hot tub before dark. Cell signal on the back-country roads can be spotty; download your trail maps before you leave the property.
