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
8.9 miles or 14 minute drive to Zaleski State Forest
12.7 miles or 19 minute drive to Lake Hope

**Guest making reservation must be 25 years or older to rent the cabin and present during the stay.**

**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.

Shurtz Overlook: Great Stay at Hocking Hills

Children and grandchildren joined my wife and I on this visit to Hocking Hills where we had the distinct pleasure of staying at Shurtz Overlook for three nights. Having rented cabins at Hocking at least a dozen times, this was probably the best for many reasons. Easy booking with extremely responsive hosts, very clean and detailed cabin, and great location within Hocking with amazing views are just some of the attributes of this rental. So if you're looking for a rental at Hocking that feels more like a home and has just about everything you could want with great support, we would highly recommend Shurtz Overlook.

Beautiful cabin

My family and I stayed here for 4 days and it was such a wonderful experience. The sunsets were breath taking and the peacefulness of just sitting on the porch and relaxing was very serene. The bonfires were great and the hot tub was relaxing. I would highly recommend this cabin.

Wonderful stay!

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.

The cabin was so open and welcoming, the little details were exciting for the kids including the games and treats left by the owners! We were looking for something away from all the things and that is certainly what we got. Just a short drive to the hiking trails and stores. What an awesome place to stay when your away from home!

Coziest Cabin!

This property was so incredible. We had the best time at this cabin. It was so clean, so comfortable, and the owners were so accommodating to our needs. They had everything we needed. The property was gorgeous and so close to Hocking Hills. We had some trouble with the Wi-Fi and they were so quick to help us and send someone out to fix the situation. I would absolutely recommend this property again and hope to stay again in the future.

Bi-Annual Girl's Weekend

Wonderful cabin for a Hocking Hills getaway! We had a group of 6 that really enjoyed this spot for a bi-annual girl’s weekend. It was the perfect fit for our group with lots of wonderful amenities. The deck was incredible and we spend 90% of our time out there. The fire pit and hot tub were also great. Everything was just easy and relaxing, just like we wanted. The cabin is just as pictured and even better in person! 10/10 recommended, thoughtful host that had helpful suggestions on how to easily access everything and very responsive to any questions we had. It was an wonderful weekend!

Magical Getaway

Hocking Hills is one of our favorite places in Ohio and when our 2 friends from out of state decided to visit, we knew we had to pick a place that would be perfect for our girls getaway. This house is immaculate! The amount of care and thought put into the amenities is obvious. Hands down THE BEST place we've rented in HH. Close to the park, not too far from civilization, but also secluded. We could not see any neighbors (aside from the bunnies that live there) and the views of the sunrise and sunset were absolutely breathtaking. The firepit with the led lights is such a cozy touch. Last but not least - the STARGAZING! No one seems to mention this so this came as a surprise but we did not make our planned visit to the dark park because this house IS a dark park, We sat out in the front yard and stargazed at the Milky Way and all of the stars in awe. We felt so grateful we found Shurtz Overlook and we will definitely be back (and also recommending to anyone we know). Thank you, Casey and Dan, for creating such a magical place and sharing it with the world. Book this place! You will be blown away in delight just like we were!

Excellent and relaxing experience for all!

All that stayed with us on vacation agreed the cabin was an excellent experience, far exceeding our expectations from beginning to end. You can tell a lot of thought and design went into making it an enjoyable experience such as onsite firewood, included soap/shampoo, complementary food (smores, cereal, basic cooking supplies, etc.), Keurig coffee maker, and board games. We’ve stayed at several cabins over the past 8 years and by far this was the most accommodating for your furry family member with pet blankets on the furniture, food and water bowls, and hangers for your leash. The quality of the cabin itself was outstanding with everything in a like-new condition, no comments from the kids about spider webs! The hot tub was very relaxing and in perfect working order, with great views while in it! Speaking of views, we have never been to a cabin with this great of views in the area, you can watch the sunset over the hills on the wraparound porch while going to the front porch to watch the sunrise, very peaceful. Most cabin rentals speak of internet service, but this one had enough speeds for streaming services with no complaints from anyone about its performance. Dan and Casey messaged us to make certain everything was to our satisfaction as well. Overall, highly recommend this cabin if you are in the area!
