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.

The hot tub was just ok, needed some chemicals. The shower was sub par, a cattle trough! My husband has 2 artificial knees, and for me it wasn’t pleasant to get in and out of. We arrived to a couple wet rags lying on the shower, no trash bags, coffee dregs left in the coffee pot. The hike down to the lake wasn’t what we expected, they need a more current photo. The frying pan was so way past its life, should be thrown out. Not enough forks, no scrub sponge for washing dishes.

We have no complaints but want others to know road to house very rough. Access to loft is a steep ladder. Main floor Bed is small and against wall on one side so we swapped nights for bed and other slept on sofa. The cabin was very well kept and very private.

The cabin was amazing! Very clean, cozy and comfortable! The driveway to get there sucked...very rough. From the description we thought we were going to be right on the lake....however you have to hike down a hill to get to it, so we only did that once.

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.

Family vacation

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

Peaceful Getaway

The home was very clean and nicer than expected.The road is a bit rough, but we had no issues accessing the house.The canoe was a great addition and it provided hours of fun!We will definitely come back.The only negative to report was that the guest book was full, so we could not write about how much fun we had.

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.

Unplug & Recharge

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.

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.

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.
