Hello, Thursday! Chelsea here.

If you’ve been daydreaming about escaping to the woods with a cup of coffee and zero notifications, this is your sign. Hocking Hills is showing off right now. It’s all cozy cabins, crisp air, and just enough adventure to make you feel like the main character in a fall movie. And if you’re looking for the spot to unplug, the A-frame at Dunlap Hollow might just be the dreamiest hideaway in Ohio. Designed and built by a local couple who fell in love with the land, it’s got the kind of views that make you forget your inbox exists. Ready to plan your next cabin getaway? You’ll want to see this one.
