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.

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!

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.

Everything was great. The cabin was beautiful and the views were great in the snow. Sitting in the hot tub on the porch watching the snow come down was very cool! We enjoyed our trip so much!
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.
Scenic, quiet refuge with clean, comfy accommodations. Hot tub, sauna and fire pit as well as many fun outdoor games. Loved the big porch with wooden gliders. Easy access to Hocking Hills recreation.
Our stay was perfect. There were so many little touches from the smores kit to lawn games to the supplies for our dog to be comfortable. It was a truly amazing experience and allowed us to relax and enjoy each others company while not worrying about a thing! I will look for this and their other properties first anytime I return to Hocking Hills!
The hosts were extremely communicative and responsive. The property was beautiful and very peaceful. Kitchen was fully stocked and the hot tub and sauna were great touches. We stayed three nights and really enjoyed the charm of the property.
Our family enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin. We loved the great views! So peaceful sitting on the wrap around deck. Dan and Casey were excellent hosts and very responsive. Thanks!
Very nice cabin! Clean, modern, excellent views and dog friendly! We really enjoyed our time here and loved finding a place that welcomed both us (5 adults) and our dogs (2). The hosts were super communicative and helpful! The place has everything you need. Book it- you won’t regret it!
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.
Dan and Casey have a hidden gem on Old Schurtz Road! We so enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful and the views are breathtaking. They have everything we needed to enjoy a weekend away to celebrate all our September birthdays. We will be returning again next year!
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.
Loved the views and how secluded this place was! Smelled and looked clean upon arrival. The driveway was a little intimidating coming from someone living in a flat cornfield lol was beautiful and peaceful!!!
We loved our stay and I would highly recommend booking this property. If you are looking for a home away from the noise, with beautiful views, this is the home for you. We were able to enjoy all that hocking hills has to offer, and then come home to relax in this beautiful log cabin that had a great view of the stars. The host did an excellent job communicating during our whole visit, and had alot of nice touches in the house to make us feel very welcome.
We had a wonderful stay at Shurtz Overlook! The location was perfect - we were near hiking and local attractions, yet remote enough to allow for the true "getaway" we needed. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit in the evenings! We had a few minor issues, but Dan & Casey were quick to respond, addressing our issue within the hour. The best part about this cabin was that it was dog friendly! Our pups had the best time - thank you for sharing your lovely cabin with our family!
We had 4 boys ages 2-12 and we had an amazing time!!! Casey and Dan were extreme helpful and quick to respond. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed!! The views were breathtaking to say the least. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend!!!
The hosts were very informative even before we got down there! And kept in contact the entire stay! The cabin was very clean and had all amenities we needed! The views were awesome, hot tub was awesome, sauna was awesome! The corn hole and connect four were great to play on the HUGE wrap around porch when it ended up raining for just a little bit! Highly recommend!!
This beautiful cabin is in a peaceful setting. We had a group of friends together and had an amazing time! The cabin has so many nice features. We loved the sauna, porch, and fun games. It is located near great hiking and a sweet winery. The hosts were so great to work with and very prompt when I reached out to them. Also, our cleaning lady was wonderful. What a fun experience!
Honestly, there was not one thing that I could possibly say that would be negative about our stay. Everything was absolutely perfect. This cabin is really incredible in every way. The view is one of the best in the Hocking Hills region I would imagine. The owners were always prompt with responding with inquiries. Thank you so much we enjoyed ourselves.
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.
This cabin was amazing! Dan and Casey thought of everything for a great retreat. The cabin was immaculately clean and had everything needed to relax and enjoy! The view was top notch while sitting by the fire, soaking in the hot tub after a day of hiking, or relaxing on the couches in the great room looking out the huge windows. There is no doubt that when we come back to Hocking Hills, this will be our place to stay! Merry Christmas!
