Waterfront A Frame with Dock, Canoe, Kayaks, Family

Summary:
Tucked beneath the pines and perched on the edge of a private, no-wake lake — this 60-year-old A-frame is a rare gem in Hocking Hills. Sitting on two private acres (yes, two — on the water), this cozy cabin is where time slows and the wild things whisper.

Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee on the dock or in the hot tub, paddling out in one of the provided kayaks or canoe, or curling up next to the gas fireplace — this is where the outside world gets quieter. Welcome to NordHavn.

The Space:
60+ years of character, thoughtfully being updated
✔️ Private dock for swimming, fishing, or floating
✔️ 2 acres of peaceful, pine-covered lakefront
✔️ 2 kayaks + 1 canoe ready for adventure
✔️ Wall of windows + lofted bedroom with lake views
✔️ Second-floor balcony for an even better perspective
✔️ Fire pit, string lights & all the vibes
✔️ Steamy hot tub under the stars
✔️ Comfy, luxury linens for slow mornings and cozy nights

This A-frame isn’t just a cabin — it’s a little time capsule of magic. Stay a while. Let the water do its thing.

This isn’t your average tiny cabin — it’s a 60-year-old A-frame with stories in its beams and soul in its bones. Nestled on two rare, private acres of waterfront property in Hocking Hills, the cabin opens up to a no-wake lake where you can kayak at sunrise, fish from the dock, or just float the day away.

Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully updated space with just the right mix of vintage charm and cozy comfort. The A-frame layout includes a wall of windows facing the lake, a lofted queen bed with tree-line views, a 1st floor master, and a vintage tub! It’s small but prayerfully curated, perfect for solo retreats, romantic weekends, or simply unplugging.

Guest Access:
🛶 Guest Access
You’ll have the entire cabin and peaceful 2-acre property all to yourself — including:

• A private dock
• 2 kayaks + 1 canoe (oars + life vests included)
• A steamy hot tub under the stars
• A fire pit with string lights
• A grill for easy outdoor meals
• Outdoor seating + space to roam
• Full access to swim, float, fish… or do absolutely nothing at all

The lake is no-wake and peaceful — perfect for paddling and meditating (or pretending to meditate).

Other Things to Note:
• This is an older cabin, full of character. Expect charm.
• The loft is accessible by steep, ladder-style stairs (not ideal for those with mobility concerns) please note again: THE LOFT has ladder style stairs. There ARE stairs to access the loft outside the A frame.
• There is NO Wi-Fi — but we’ve got a solid DVD collection for cozy movie nights.
• No parties or events — this space is built for slowing down.
• You will drive up a steep hill on your final turn to the cabin. Please note we HEAVILY suggest 4WD in the winter months. The final road to the cabin is one lane. Please use pull-offs when necessary.
• Please be respectful of lake neighbors — while you’ll have full privacy on the 2 waterfront acres, there are a few other cabins around the lake. Keep noise to a minimum, especially at night.

It was a good location, wish we would have know about the connection for internet as it didn’t say we wouldn’t have any. Just because we didn’t have a way to access the code or anything else. Cameras inside the house? Overall it was nice

It was great

The cabin was great. Very secluded and very quite. My sister and I had a great time. It was very clean and well taken care of. The hot tub was great, especially after a long day of hiking. The only thing that I did not know about was the ladder steps up the the top floor. I did not see this in the pictures. This was a little bit of a challenge, but we made it work. Over all it was a great place to stay.

Cabin in the Woods

The property was cozily located in the woods. We had a short walk down a hill to a pretty lake. The property has its own small deck with a cute, comfortable bench that sits 3. There was also a canoe for our use. Nice, small cabin. It worked well for us.

Short Trip

My husband and I came to get away for a couple of days. The place is cute! There were some mouse dropping son the counters. The bed downstairs is small and very broke down. Didn’t try the one upstairs due to my husband having a jury knee. Do not try to get here without 4 wheel drive. The pond was a plus and it was nice waking down the trail to it. We would stay again.

Weekend trip.

Overall we had a great time. Cabin was clean. All of the amenities were provided. Coffee and cream was a nice bonus. Hot tub seemed to need a change of water. The grill needs new grates could not cook on them, rusty. Bring foil. Main complaint was the beds. I mean I have slept on some rough beds at hotels etc, theses (all three) we’re very uncomfortable. Ended up sleeping on the couch the second night. Not better lol. If these few things were addressed, I would have given 5 stars. It was a very cute quaint little cabin, was perfect for a short weekend getaway.

Cozy cabin...real review

Lets start at the beginning...The road to the cabin is steep and rough. DO NOT drive a low profile car you will bottom out. The cabin itself is cozy...little less then 800 square feet. There is no actual view of the lake but the view is still noce and peaceful. The hot tub is clean. The trail to the lake is steep but well maintained and about 50 yards to a tiny dock with a pretty view. Our only complaint is that the beds are not comfortable.and if you are older the ladder to the loft bedroom sucks. With that said we would still recommend the cabin and still give it an overall high score...oh and cell services are absent in the best way.

Unplug and relax

If you want to totally unplug and relax this place will not disappoint. We enjoyed our stay and trips to various Hocking Hills parks. The cabin is stocked with everything you need. The hot tub overlooks the trees (we stayed late in the season so the view of the lake was obstructed by foliage as expected) and is a great spot to wind down. The cabin was clean and quiet. We fished and my kids enjoyed the swimming area a short drive away. There at lots of DVDs and games! Some things to know if you are considering renting. These are not negatives just info that may be useful. - the location may not be ideal for those with physical limitations. The upper room is accessible by ladder that is fairly steep. The walk to the dock on the lake is pretty steep as well. The tub wall is pretty high too. - we definitely appreciated our 4 wheel drive to get to the cabin. The roads are steep and unpaved. -the listing is accurate in saying service and wifi is very limited in the area. You will want to prepare in advance with directions to the locations you want to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
The code was provided in advance so there were no issues with access. I did not know the only access to the beds upstairs was via ladder style steps. A bit of an issue for bad knees. The twin bed upstairs is an inflatable bed. There was trash left in the trash can outside from the last people so we didn’t have much room for our trash. The structure is sketchy. The upstairs balcony moves when you walk on it. The couch needs replaced as you sink way into it. There were only 3 forks in the kitchen. Other than that the outside is beautiful and more enjoyable than the interior. The hot tub was nice. The outdoor fire pit was well stocked with dry wood. We caught some fish off the dock. Beautiful view.

Beautiful home! The perfect stay when truly needing to disconnect. WIFI and cell service is zilch- this may seem daunting, but worth it. The “stairs” to the loft is a ladder, take this into consideration when planning house guests and luggage. The walk to the dock, while incredibly beautiful, is rather steep. Consider this when planning and/or carrying items to the dock. It is recommended taking a stroll down the path before committing. If you are not familiar to the area it is highly recommended to print, download, draw, etc., maps to all of your destination(s) prior to arriving. GPS service is sketchy, if at all available.

Great place to stay if you're looking to unplug & relax. Close to Hocking Hills activities, but still remote to enjoy some quiet time with nature. We brought floats for the lake & the weather was perfect! Ended the evenings w/ a soak in the hot tube & a campfires.

Cute house and a nice location

Everything was pretty great, we really enjoyed our stay! The hosts were accommodating and responded quickly to questions. The hot tub was great and we didn’t find the temperature to be too cold like I believe another review said. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because our friends said the big upstairs bed was very uncomfortable. But if you’re only going with two people and don’t need to use the beds upstairs, then it was definitely 5 stars.
