About this cabin rental

NUMBER 6 and NEWEST! The Ellwood Box Hop is a single story, minimal Mid-Century box hop which was designed to span a ravine that is directly over a waterfall! The Ellwood is named after an influential designer based out of LA in the 70’s who was known for his minimal steel and glass (couldn’t be more box hop) designs, Craig Ellwood.

The Hocking Hills is an area of the Allegheny Plateau in Appalachian Ohio, primarily in Hocking County, that features cliffs, gorges, rock shelters, and waterfalls. The relatively extreme topography in this area is due to the Blackhand Sandstone (so named because of Native American graphics on the formation near Newark, Ohio), a particular formation that is thick, hard and weather-resistant, and so forms high cliffs and narrow, deep gorges.

The home can be accessed with a key in a lockbox next to the door.

Although everything is on one story, this home is a jaw dropper. Spanning the seasonal waterfall, you are suspended in the air overlooking the waterfalls edge, into the deep ravine below. Did we mention that there is a glass floor inside? From inside you can look out 3 large panoramic windows to the expansive ravine and waterfalls edge, OR you can look beneath your feet to catch a glimpse of the water before it tumbles over the edge.

INSIDE HIGHLIGHTS:
Two bedrooms; 2 queen size beds
One full bathroom
Glass floor
Full kitchen stocked with cookware & serving dishes
Washer and dryer
Air mattress (queen) available

The third Box Hop on the 75 acres, the Ellwood, is situated towards the top of the property and spans a ravine, suspended over a waterfall. The house is absolutely breathtaking in all seasons as you can watch the water tumble over the falls in spring/summer or see them completely frozen into majestic pieces of art in the winter.

There is no shortage of views at this hop and you can easily hike your way towards the marked trails near the other canyon on the property to see the larger cave and waterfall. This house is very secluded and peaceful. A fan favorite by far.

OUTSIDE HIGHLIGHTS:
Deck overlooking the ravine with waterfall
Outdoor fire pit
Gas grill
Hot tub
Trails and waterfall on property to hike and explore

The setting for this stay is lovely, with magnificent views from all of the rooms. The amenities were very nice and and gave ample amounts for usage. The spot is rather remote and getting luggage both in and moving out was extremely difficult. We would not recommend this home to anyone who has any any condition involving walking. When it rained the “walkway” was quite dangerous

We had an enjoyable stay at the Box hop Ellwood. Beautifully decorated with lots of windows to enjoy sunlight and an amazing view. It was also over a waterfall which was really cool. Close to coffee shop, antique shopping and hiking in hocking hills. Very clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend and look forward to returning.

Overall our family enjoyed our stay. The Ellwood house was beautiful and well decorated. We were slightly disappointed with the quality of the kitchen appliances and cookware (tiny drip coffee maker, pots and pans that had its finish peeling, only four plates, only four cups meant we were constantly doing dishes). We were looking forward to adding the Ellwood pin to our collection but none were to be found. With a little better quality inside the Ellwood, we would give it five stars. The walk on the property to the waterfall was amazing!

Beautiful view, beautiful accommodations. Seth was super helpful when we ran into a small issue. 15/10, would rent again!
