Game Room Cabin · Hot Tub · Sleeps 6 · Dogs OK

Hemingway sleeps six across three bedrooms — loft king, main floor queen, lower level king — with an open main floor that keeps the group together and a lower level that gives everyone somewhere to land.

Named for Ernest Hemingway — who lived as hard as he wrote, and always found his way back to the water and the woods — it's one of four cabins at Notestone Reserve, our family-owned 14-acre property in Laurelville.

⭐ What You'll Love
• Three sleeping areas across two levels and a loft — everyone has somewhere to land, nobody's on the couch
• A lower level built for the long evening — king bed, game table, arcade machine, 65" TV
• Covered hot tub off the lower level, ready in any weather
• Fire pit that earns its keep once the sun goes down (firewood on site)
• The shared game room just a short walk across the property — pool table, arcade, 85" TV, and more

🌲 Outside
• Covered deck off the main floor with seating
• Fire pit for s’mores, stargazing, and evening conversations (firewood on site)
• Personal hot tub off the lower level — covered, so it works in any weather
• Propane grill with tools

🏠 Sleeping

• Main floor: queen bedroom
• Lower level: king bedroom
• Pack 'n play available on site — just give us a heads up. Sheets not included, so bring your own if needed.

🍳 Main Floor
Open concept kitchen, living, and dining — the kind of layout where whoever's cooking is still part of the conversation. Bluetooth speaker for the background noise. Full kitchen with everything you need to cook a real meal. Seating for 4 at the island and table seating for 3.
• A heads up: no garbage disposal or dishwasher — plan accordingly for longer stays.

Two full bathrooms with showers — one on the main floor, one on the lower level.

🎮 Lower Level
• King bedroom
• Living area with 65" Smart TV
• Arcade machine
• Game table

🐾 Dogs Welcome
Up to 2 dogs allowed per stay. One crate is provided. Dogs must remain leashed on the property and off the furniture. A $100 pet fee applies per stay.

🏡 The Shared Game Room
Open to every Notestone guest, just a short walk across the property:
• 85" Smart TV
• Pool table
• Foosball
• Basketball arcade
• Classic arcade machines and a racing game
• Legos, card and board games, indoor cornhole
• Plus an outdoor playground for the kids (big and small)

🧴 What's Here When You Arrive
Every bathroom comes stocked with the good stuff — shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion. One less thing to remember when you're packing for the weekend.

We provide a starter kit of the essentials — 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, a roll of paper towels, a kitchen sponge, and trash liners. We recommend bringing a little extra just in case.

🗺️ 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
We offer Starlink satellite internet. In general it holds up well — most guests have no trouble streaming movies or music without issue. That said, satellite internet is a different animal than what you're used to at home. Video calls and long phone calls can cut out from time to time, especially on cloudy days when the router is working harder to find its signal. We'd rather tell you upfront than have you find out mid-Zoom. If you're planning to work remotely during your stay, it can work — just plan for the occasional hiccup.

🌿 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 Things to Note
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
• Under normal conditions, our driveways are accessible in just about any vehicle. Hemingway does have a steeper approach, and for that we strongly recommend four wheel drive or all wheel drive during winter months when ice and snow are a factor.
• 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.
