Glass home | fire pit | hot tub | shared game barn | House in Laurelville
1 Bedroom House in Laurelville
Welcome to Thoreau – Your Poetic Escape in the Woods
Nestled in the tranquil forest near Hocking Hills State Park, Thoreau is one of two architecturally striking mirrored homes on our property, inspired by the reflective writings of Henry David Thoreau and his deep connection to nature. Ideal for couples or solo travelers, this serene retreat includes a cozy queen bed, a thoughtfully equipped kitchenette, and a selection of games for peaceful evenings in. Step outside to unwind in your personal hot tub and enjoy the stillness of the woods from your secluded outdoor seating area.
Our mirrored house reflects its surroundings during the day, blending seamlessly into the natural beauty of Hocking Hills. At night, the mirror surface becomes transparent, allowing visibility into the house. But have no fear— the bathrooms are frosted for your privacy, and we suggest closing the curtains for additional seclusion.
Note: The exterior is still undergoing improvements; we appreciate your understanding as we work to enhance the space
