Carpenter’s Cabin, Family Fave, Conversation Pit + Kids’ Fort + Hot Tub + Trails

DESIGN FAVORITE: The Carpenter’s Cabin

Featured on television and in print around the world, including Discovery+ and Magnolia Network, The Carpenter’s Cabin is a luxury Hocking Hills cabin tucked into a secluded pine forest on 32 private wooded acres. With four stories, private trails, an iconic conversation pit, hot tub, and space for up to 12 guests, this design-forward retreat has become a favorite for families, groups, and memorable getaways.

HIGHLIGHTS

• 32 private wooded acres with trails
• Secluded pine forest setting
• Four-story architectural cabin
• Iconic conversation pit
• Jaybird children’s fort
• Hot tub, patio, fire pit & outdoor gathering spaces
• Three large covered decks, including a third-story screened deck with hammock chairs
• Two media rooms with Smart TVs
• Loft library
• Two primary suites

The Carpenter’s Cabin sits in a storybook setting nestled among the pines, creating a sense of privacy and escape while still being close to the area’s most popular attractions.

The heart of the cabin is its signature conversation pit — a warm, sun-filled gathering space recognized by architecture and design enthusiasts around the world. Designed to encourage connection and conversation, this unforgettable room invites guests to slow down, settle in, and spend time together. Complete with a modern electric fireplace and television, it is both beautiful and comfortable.

The walkout lower level was created for entertainment and relaxed evenings together. A large sectional sofa provides the perfect spot for movie nights, board games, or simply unwinding after a day exploring Hocking Hills. The bunk room creates a cozy hideaway for younger guests and guests young at heart, while a full bath and direct access to the hot tub and seasonal hammock area make the lower level feel like a retreat of its own.

The kitchen serves as the heart of gathering and is thoughtfully stocked with cooking essentials, including a mixer, blender, waffle maker, French press, standard coffee maker, and tools for preparing meals for your group. Organic coffee, teas, and basic spices are provided. The dining area comfortably seats ten guests, with additional seating available at the kitchen island.

Bedrooms throughout the cabin were designed with comfort in mind. Each bed includes organic bamboo sheets and organic linen duvet covers, along with bedside tables, reading sconces, seating, and convenient charging access.

Turkish cotton and eucalyptus bath towels, organic body products, and thoughtful touches such as hooks, baskets, and shelving help make your stay comfortable and functional.

Families especially love the Jaybird Fort — our mini Carpenter’s Cabin designed just for kids. Located steps away from the cabin, this playful little hideaway creates opportunities for imagination and adventure during your stay.

Though spacious enough to sleep up to 12 guests, The Carpenter’s Cabin remains cozy enough for a quiet retreat for two.

Enjoy the local attractions Hocking Hills is known for, many just 5–20 minutes away, or simply stay on property and spend your time exploring private trails and relaxing among the pines.

Please note: Only registered guests listed on the reservation are permitted on the property. We do not allow bachelor or bachelorette parties, events, or gatherings of any kind.

Hocking Hills Family Gettogether

Perfect and secluded to enjoy a nice relaxing weekend near Hocking Hills. The playhouse offered great entertainment for the little ones under 6. The fire pit and Jamison offered great places to mingle and enjoy s’mores around the fire pit. The cabin offered luxurious accommodations but useful gathering our kids and grandkids together. Loved the place and highly recommend staying at when visiting Hocking Hills State Park.

Wonderful Getaway!

What a great place to get away with family and friends! The large island in the kitchen helped many hands cook at the same time and the conversation pit was cozy and intimate. We enjoyed hiking the trail on the property and gazing at the stars from the hot tub. The whole place was beautiful, clean, and comfortable.
