Couples Escape · Mirrored Glass Cabin · Hot Tub

Muir sits on a hillside in the trees — mirrored walls that disappear into the forest by day and open completely to the woods by night. It's one of two glass homes at Notestone Reserve, our family-owned 14-acre property in Laurelville, built around a single idea: get you as close to the woods as possible without asking you to give up a comfortable bed.

Inside, a queen bed sits directly in front of floor-to-ceiling glass, with nothing but forest in view. Named for John Muir — the man who looked at wilderness and saw something worth protecting — it's a room that earns the reference.

🌲 Outside
• Personal hot tub nestled against a natural rock (striped towels provided)
• Propane grill with tools
• Fire pit for s’mores, stargazing, and evening conversations (firewood on site)
• Cozy seating for two, with blankets for the cooler nights
• Mirrored exterior that reflects the forest during the day — you see out, no one sees in

🏠 Inside
• Queen bed facing floor-to-ceiling glass — wake up to unobstructed forest views
• Small kitchen: apartment-size fridge, portable stovetop, and air fryer
• Stocked with the basics to get you started — salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, foil, and cooking spray.
• Coffee bar: coffee maker, coffee, and tea
• Towels for every occasion (bath, hand, face, makeup, hot tub)
• Smart TV and Bluetooth speaker

🧴 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, a roll of paper towels, a kitchen sponge, and trash liners. We recommend bringing a little extra just in case.

🏡 The Shared Game Room
A short walk across the property, and open to every Notestone guest:
• 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)

🪟 About the Glass
During the day the mirrored exterior keeps things completely private — you can see out, no one can see in. At night that reverses. The bathroom windows are frosted, so no worries there — but we do ask that you use the curtains near the bed once it gets dark. Other guests are on the property, and it's just good neighboring.

🗺️ What's Nearby
Notestone 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
WiFi is included, but satellite internet in Hocking Hills has its limits. Most guests find the inconsistency easier to accept once they're in the hot tub. We aren't able to issue refunds for WiFi interruptions.

🌿 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 House Rules
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
• 4WD/AWD recommended during winter months
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.
