Hemingway sleeps six across three bedrooms — loft king, main floor queen, lower level king — with an open main floor that keeps the group together and a lower level that gives everyone somewhere to land when the night winds down.

Named for Ernest Hemingway — who lived as hard as he wrote, and always found his way back to the water and the woods — it's one of four cabins at Notestone Reserve, our family-owned 14-acre property in Laurelville.

Perfect for families, friend groups, and anyone who wants room to spread out without losing the group. Dogs welcome.

What You'll Love

• Three separate sleeping areas across two levels and a loft — everyone has somewhere to land, nobody's on the couch
• A lower level built for the long evening — king bed, game table, arcade machine, 65 Smart TV
• Hot tub tucked under the covered lower deck — ready in any weather
• Fire pit that earns its keep once the sun goes down
• The shared game room just a short walk across the property — pool table, arcade, 85 Smart TV, and more

• Main floor: queen bedroom
• Lower level: king bedroom

Main Floor

Open concept kitchen, living, and dining — whoever's cooking is still part of the conversation. Full kitchen with everything you need to make a real meal. Island seating for 4, table seating for 3. Bluetooth speaker for the background noise.

• No garbage disposal or dishwasher — worth knowing for longer stays
• Kitchen stocked with basic pantry items to get you started
• Starter kit on arrival: paper towels, a kitchen sponge, and trash liners. Worth packing a little extra for longer stays.

Bathrooms

Two full bathrooms with showers — one on the main floor, one on the lower level. Each stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion. Two rolls of toilet paper per bathroom to get you started — worth packing extra for longer stays.

Dogs Welcome

Up to 2 dogs per stay. Dogs must stay leashed on the property and off the furniture. A $100 pet fee applies per stay.

The Shared Game Room (open to all Notestone guests — a short walk across the property)

• 85 Smart TV with streaming capabilities
• Pool table and foosball
• Basketball arcade, classic arcade machines, and a racing game
• Legos, card games, board games, indoor cornhole
• Outdoor playground

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 / 26-28 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.

Hemingway has a steeper approach than the other cabins. Under normal conditions it's accessible in most vehicles — but during winter months when ice and snow are a factor, 4WD or AWD is strongly recommended.

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.

House Rules

• 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

Check-in: 4:00 PM / Check-out: 11:00 AM

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.

    Hemmingway was a wonderful place to stay in Hocking Hills. The property was beautiful. The hot tub was so fun. The game room was so much fun too. They have something for every age and everyone. We would definitely come back to stay again. Only thing I would add is bring a couple flashlights if you’re staying during the winter time when we did just to help go up the hill to the game room.

    Accommodations at Notestone and specifically, The Hemingway, really allowed our family to relax and spend some quality time together. The property is definitely tucked away but modern which is exactly what we needed to feel like we could just enjoy being there to kick back. Our kids loved the game room and hot tub, especially during the light snow. Morning sunrise through the big bay windows was a huge plus! Although you’ll need to bring in your grooves in advance since stores are about 20-25 minutes away, everything you need to make meals is provided, down to muffin pans and a corkscrew. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we look forward to coming back.

    Had a wonderful time! House was beautiful and clean, kitchen was well stocked (pots, pans, dishes, etc.), location made it easy to get to popular hiking spots, beds were comfy, plenty of room, relaxing scenery. Management was extremely responsive and helpful. They provided soap/shampoo, ground coffee, firewood, and even had a welcome basket for our dog. Highly recommend!

    Our party of four loved how well-appointed and well-designed the Heminway is. The furniture and decor are lovely. The multiple seating areas allowed everyone to enjoy different areas of the home. Morning coffee on the porch with the wind whistling in the trees was delightful. Thank you for all the small extra touches and great communication. As are most locations in the Hocking Hills area, this was a rural drive from everywhere, but the remoteness is what people often seek. We will definitely recommend to our friends!

    Beautiful Cabin! It was so cozy, warm and inviting. Had everything we needed. Pretty secluded and private with a lot of woods around. Great fire pit-hot tub smelled a bit musty but we really enjoyed our stay! The little touches like bowls and treats for our dogs was so nice!

    We had the privilege of staying at the Hemingway rental a few weeks ago and couldn't have been more impressed! The home was immaculate with luxurious amenities and a contemporary, airy design. The days that the weather was dry, we relaxed on the lovely deck and when it was rainy and a little chilly, we warmed up in the hot tub - which was fully covered so we could fully escape the rain! We had an opportunity to meet the owners, Mark and one of his daughter's, Stacey, who were great to talk to and very accommodating. The beds were comfortable and the lower level was a nice place to end the day! We had our dog with us and he felt very spoiled with his own little welcome basket! The completed property will be a perfect vacation retreat with something for everyone and we look forward to coming back again soon!

    My family enjoyed a beautiful weekend getaway at Hemingway. The house is gorgeous, clean, and very well stocked. I appreciate how intentional the owners are- stocking the house with little things like a clothes steamer, bottled water, kitchen items, shampoo, etc so you don’t have to worry about a thing. The beds were beyond comfortable and the linens were luxurious. Stacey was very responsive and helpful- We can’t wait to come back!

    The Hemingway is a beautiful and clean cabin! Perfect for our family of 4. The hosts have put a lot of small details into this wonderful space. We enjoyed the hot tub and the shared game space on the property. Loved the large windows and spacious balcony. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. If expecting snow, may want to discuss accessibility to property and cabin with hosts prior to visit.

    First time in the area and we picked an excellent place to stay! Stacey was very responsive and helpful. Kids (and parents) loved the game room, hot tub and fire pit. Everything was very clean and well designed. Would definitely stay again. Excited to see what this place will look like in another year's time (still under some construction while we were there)!** no dishwasher or washer or dryer**

    This is the best spot in all of Hocking Hills - accommodations are like no other! The property is tucked into a beautiful, very private spot with ample space between each cabin. The cabins are so comfortable with anything needed - wifi was plenty quick enough to stay connected. Super pet friendly with a goody basket provided for our fur baby. Plenty of coffee provided for the stay and the bottles of water in the fridge were perfect to take on those daily hikes. Our favorite spot in the house was the porch - pure solitude to sit out sheltered by any weather and just relax. The kids LOVED the game room - a great spot to walk to when the rain hit. We cannot wait to come back. 10 out of 10 stars! You won't be disappointed.

    The property is remote enough that you feel like you’ve gotten away, but still close to the Hocking Hills Park attractions. We most enjoyed spending time relaxing on the back porch overlooking the woods and pond, but also enjoyed the game room. Helpful and friendly owners were onsite at the common area and checked in with us each day to see if we needed anything. The cabin was very clean and had lots of amenities. We had a great stay.

    We stayed at the Hemingway for a long weekend trip. The place was amazing! Our family of 5 (plus 1 dog) had plenty of room to relax and unwind after a day full of hiking. We enjoyed having coffee outside on the deck watching the sunrise in the morning and listening to the sound of birds chirping away. The community game room was a great place to go enjoy fun and games as a family. We will definitely be back next time we take a trip to Hocking Hills!
