La Bellota Cabin - Secluded, Hot Tub, Sauna, Game Room, Massage Chair

La Bellota, a secluded log cabin by the woods, offers a true getaway. Our 6 acres provide entertainment and relaxation amenities, and Hocking Hills attractions are all only about 10 miles away or less. Unplug or stay completely connected via 90 mbps WiFi. We hope your stay at La Bellota provides relaxation, rejuvenation, and a whole bunch of memories to bring home with you.

La Bellota (pronounced bay-YO-tah) is Spanish for "acorn" and "grand beauty." We hope you enjoy all the beauty this place has to offer inside and out.

INSIDE:
The cabin has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The first floor bedroom features a queen and a twin. The loft bedroom features a king and two twins and is a separate room with a door. The first-floor bathroom features a shower and corner Jacuzzi tub, and the half bath sits between the main loft area and the loft bedroom.

A vaulted main room provides a cozy space to relax with a wood-burning stone fireplace and a little reading nook. Two skylights bathe the room in natural light during the day and give you the chance to see the stars at night.

A fully equipped kitchen offers your typical dishes and silverware (including kid-friendly options), stainless steel pots and pans, knife set, double oven with toasting capabilities, crockpot, electric skillet, electric griddle, hand mixer, blender, rice cooker, mixing bowls, ice cream scoop, pizza cutter, pizza stones, corkscrew/bottle opener, can opener, and more. We leave cabinet space open for guests to store their own food/supplies.

A dedicated hot beverage bar includes a 12-cup drip coffee maker and an electric kettle to make an assortment of provided hot beverage options, including ground coffee, tea bags, hot cocoa, and hot cider. We provide a coffee grinder for guests wanting to bring their own beans to grind.

The main loft area features a sauna (available to guests 16 and older), a massage chair, and a sitting area.

The garage game room aims to entertain kids young and old with an air hockey table, junior ping pong table, digital pin ball machine, and an assortment of board/card games. (Toys for toddlers also are included in the first-floor bedroom closet.)

A first-floor laundry room provides a washer and dryer for guest use. (Laundry detergent MAY be available, but we recommend bringing your own just in case.)

OUTSIDE:
A screened-in porch overlooks the front yard with a tree-lined creek at the property edge. Hang out in the hammock and two hammock swings, and eat or play games at the 6-person dining set.

A covered porch runs the length of the cabin with a new 8-person hot tub overlooking the woods and koi pond with a bridge. Take in the property's tranquility on the two rocking chairs.

A propane grill sits on a small concrete patio just off the covered porch.

A stone-lined fire pit provides the perfect place to roast marshmallows or just share time around a fire's mesmerizing flames. Relax on one of the three Adirondack chairs and four tree stump stools around the pit. (Firewood is not provided.)

Enjoy the wooded grounds with a short hike in the woods and/or to our property's creek.

Guest access:
Plenty of parking is available on our gravel driveway.

A guest key code for the main entry door will be provided prior to each guest's stay. This code will be active from the guests' check-in time at 4 p.m. until check-out time at 10 a.m. when the key code will become unusable.

Other things to note:
Cell service is very spotty at the cabin. We have excellent WiFi, so we recommend setting up your phone for WiFi calling if you would like to text/call out/receive calls during your stay. Given the rural setting, internet outages happen a little more frequently than in urban areas, and these outages are outside our control.

Smart Devices:
To help our guests experience a more secure and enhanced experience, we have equipped our cabin with several smart devices. This includes but is not limited to:
- a smart lock for quick check-in and an individualized code for key-less access during your stay,
- a Ring doorbell* for check-in assistance if needed,
- an automatic kitchen faucet for hands-free use,
- WiFi mesh network for more reliable and extended WiFI coverage,
- smart switches for more convenient access,
- integrated smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and flood/freeze sensors to help prevent emergencies,
- driveway and rear-entry security cameras*

*These exterior cameras provide motion-activated video/audio recordings. The hot tub is not included in their view range.
