Stowe is an original log cabin that's been brought forward without losing what made it worth keeping. White-painted exposed logs, a wraparound deck with string lights, an electric fireplace anchoring the main floor â it's the cabin that feels most like a cabin, and that's exactly the point.
Named for Harriet Beecher Stowe â who paid close attention to the world around her and understood that the most important things happen when people are present with each other â it's one of four cabins at Notestone Reserve, our family-owned 14-acre property in Laurelville.

đ§Ž What's Here When You Arrive
Every bathroom comes stocked with the good stuff â 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 â 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.
đșïž 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 â 7 minutes
Conkle's Hollow â 15 minutes
Old Man's Cave â 20 minutes
Ash Cave â 26 minutes
Cedar Falls, Cantwell Cliffs, and the rest of the state park system are all within a short drive as well.
đ¶ About the WiFi
We offer Starlink satellite internet. In general it holds up well â 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 â just plan for the occasional hiccup.
đż 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.
đ 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:
âą No parties or events, including bachelor/bachelorette groups. And no glitter â it never, ever goes away.
âą Only registered guests on the property
âą No smoking, vaping, fireworks, ATVs, hunting, or weapons
âą No commercial photography or videography without written approval
âą Hot tub: use the striped towels provided and keep the cover on between soaks
âą Septic-safe: flush toilet paper only; no garbage disposal at the sink
âą Under normal conditions, our driveways are accessible in just about any vehicle. We are located on back country roads, for that we recommend four wheel drive or all wheel drive during winter months when ice and snow are a factor. The driveway to Stowe is typically accessible in the winter months without needing 4WD/AWD.
Check-in: 4:00 PM / Check-out: 11:00 AM
