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.

🗺️ What's Nearby
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 pit.
Rock House — 7 minutes
Conkle's Hollow — 15 minutes
Old Man's Cave — 20 minutes
Ash Cave — 26 minutes
Cedar Falls, Cantwell Cliffs, and the rest of the state park system are all within a short drive as well.
📶 About the WiFi
WiFi is included, but satellite internet in Hocking Hills has its limits. Most guests find the inconsistency easier to accept once they're in the hot tub. We aren't able to issue refunds for WiFi interruptions.
🌿 A Note on the Setting
We're in a wooded area, and while we stay on top of regular pest control, the occasional ladybug or curious spider showing up is just nature doing its thing.
📋 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 never, ever goes away.
• Only registered guests on the property
• No smoking, vaping, fireworks, ATVs, hunting, or weapons
• No commercial photography or videography without written approval
• Hot tub: use the striped towels provided and keep the cover on between soaks
• Septic-safe: flush toilet paper only; no garbage disposal at the sink
• 4WD/AWD recommended during winter months
• Check-in: 4:00 PM / Check-out: 11:00 AM
✏️ Before You Arrive
All guests sign a simple renter agreement once you book. We'll send it over — quick, painless, and it helps us take good care of you and everyone else on the property.
