Combining the best of authentic Hocking Hills charm with modern amenities, this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom cabin is an ideal launching pad to explore the best of the area while having a relaxing cabin to recharge from life's grind.

Shurtz Overlook is part of the BeHome family of properties (@behome_cle) and provides panoramic views of the Hocking Hills region like few other properties can! Sitting atop Shurtz Hill, guests can enjoy the comforts of home while taking in the gorgeous views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The cabin is one of the best seats for stepping back and truly taking in the beauty of Hocking Hills from up high.

The cabin is equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay and affords both private and communal spaces for your friends/family to recharge, rekindle, and reinvigorate. Shurtz Overlook is the perfect setting for connecting where it counts and disconnecting from what doesn't.

COMFORT: Shurtz Overlook offers three queen size bedrooms, a bunk room, and a futon to comfortably sleep 10 guests. The cabin also has a hot tub, fast/reliable WiFi, wraparound porch, outdoor fire pit, and other comforts.

CONVENIENCE: Located in the heart of the Hocking Hills region. Easy, quick access to Hocking Hills favorites, including Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Conkle's Hollow, Cedar Falls, and more! Abundant beauty and hiking to enjoy year round. Also convenient for Hocking Hills activities, such as zip lining, trail riding, rock climbing, and many others!

CLEANLINESS: We employ local professional cleaners who understand that our guests want to immediately settle in and feel confident that the cabin is up to their standards.

We are animal lovers and allow up to 2 dogs at the cabin. Dog(s) need to be over 1 year old, less than 60 lbs, fully house trained, and guests must be willing to adhere to rules around having dogs at the cabin. Dogs are $30/day each plus a refundable damage deposit.

Shurtz Overlook balances the desired seclusion and proximity to the trails, caves, and waterfalls that many guests seek. Guests won't have to see another person during their stay if that's your preference, but can also quickly access the best hikes that Hocking Hills State Park offers:

8.0 miles or 12 minute drive to Hocking Hills State Park
8.0 miles or 12 minute drive to Ash Cave
9.8 miles or 15 minute drive to Cedar Falls
11.8 miles or 19 minute drive to Old Man's Cave

**Parties/large events are not allowed at the cabin.**

Guest access: Guests will have access to the full cabin, all building amenities, and 13 acres of secluded land. There is a large gravel parking area outside of the cabin that can accommodate several vehicles.

Cabin Quirks: We love coming down to our cabin for its cozy charm and the way Hocking Hills allows us to unplug from our hectic day to day routines. It gives us the gift of quality time together and the chance to focus on the moments that count. Hocking Hills cabins often have quirks, including well water (some guests prefer to bring bottled water) and WiFi/cell service that's spotty at times.

Guests are encouraged to review the cancellation policy and consider purchasing travel insurance to accompany their reservation.

We want you to have an awesome visit to Hocking Hills and enjoy its authentic charm - please reach out with any questions you might have about Shurtz Overlook. It is important to us that the cabin is a good fit for our guests, so please let us know if you have any particular questions/concerns prior to booking or your arrival.

Wonderful stay
Our stay was perfect. There were so many little touches from the smores kit to lawn games to the supplies for our dog to be comfortable. It was a truly amazing experience and allowed us to relax and enjoy each others company while not worrying about a thing! I will look for this and their other properties first anytime I return to Hocking Hills!

Wonderful time
We loved our stay and I would highly recommend booking this property. If you are looking for a home away from the noise, with beautiful views, this is the home for you. We were able to enjoy all that hocking hills has to offer, and then come home to relax in this beautiful log cabin that had a great view of the stars. The host did an excellent job communicating during our whole visit, and had alot of nice touches in the house to make us feel very welcome.

This beautiful cabin is in a peaceful setting. We had a group of friends together and had an amazing time! The cabin has so many nice features. We loved the sauna, porch, and fun games. It is located near great hiking and a sweet winery. The hosts were so great to work with and very prompt when I reached out to them. Also, our cleaning lady was wonderful. What a fun experience!

Relaxing Stay in Hocking Hills
We stayed at the cabin as a small group aged 24-76 for our Hocking Hills State Park vacation. Everyone in our group loved the cabin and found it very comfortable. It is a newer cabin with nice furnishings and decor. The outside porch is very welcoming and we really enjoyed nightly soaks in the hot tub. Some of us used the sauna and enjoyed that as well. The fire pit area provides a nice place to enjoy the evening and star gaze. The cabin’s location is very near all the area attractions. It is set back away from the road so you do not have drive by traffic thus allowing a great sense of privacy. It’s very quiet and peaceful. There is a washer/dryer with a few soap packets but bring your own soap if you will have multiple loads to do during your stay. There were plenty of dishes for our group of 5 and all the kitchen appliances worked well for our needs. We had a short power outage during our stay due to weather and the hosts were prompt in communicating and helping us determine the cause and length of the outage. Luckily it was short. Overall we had a lovely time at Shurtz Overlook and I found the cabin comfortable with some nice luxuries (sauna and hot tub). I would definitely consider staying again if visiting the Hocking Hills region.

While the location was wonderful, and the outside views were stunning, I was very disappointed in the cleanliness of the cabin. I know that you allow pets, so I don't expect the cabin to be "fur free", but my tiny dog got under the bed last night and the amount of debris she brought out with her was disturbing. Also my son slept on the couch last night and lost his earbud . When we removed the cushions there again was a lot of debris that had not been cleaned in a while. I started to sweep the floors this morning and it does not look like whoever is cleaning is doing a very good job. My family and I come down to Hocking Hills annually and have stayed at quite a few different cabins. I must tell you that the cleanliness of this cabin is very disappointing for the amount of money I paid. I have photos that I would like to share, but i'm not able to attach them to this submission.

Perfect hideaway
Girls' trip with friends. A few friends wanted to enjoy the outdoors and others wanted to just relax. This house provides the perfect space for both. Any questions we had were quickly answered. The hot tub was a welcomed space after our long hike in Hocking Hills. Thank you so much for opening up your home!

Perfect getaway for the family!
We had a wonderful stay at Shurtz Overlook! The location was perfect - we were near hiking and local attractions, yet remote enough to allow for the true "getaway" we needed. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit in the evenings! We had a few minor issues, but Dan & Casey were quick to respond, addressing our issue within the hour. The best part about this cabin was that it was dog friendly! Our pups had the best time - thank you for sharing your lovely cabin with our family!

Second stay, even better
A lot of times when I go to a place a second time it has noticeably gotten worse or not maintained. However this place has been well maintained and the new sauna is great! Used it every morning. It has a nice delay start feature so that it was all pre heated in the morning. Hot tub was clean, clear and well covered. A great place to watch storms coming over the hills

Pre-Christmas Retreat
This cabin was amazing! Dan and Casey thought of everything for a great retreat. The cabin was immaculately clean and had everything needed to relax and enjoy! The view was top notch while sitting by the fire, soaking in the hot tub after a day of hiking, or relaxing on the couches in the great room looking out the huge windows. There is no doubt that when we come back to Hocking Hills, this will be our place to stay! Merry Christmas!

Stayed at this cabin with a group of friends. The location was gorgeous and the hosts put so much thought into little touches (s’mores kit, solar lights by the fire pit, hot tub towels ready and waiting, etc). Home was beautiful and well appointed and communication with the hosts was easy. I would definitely rent this property again.
