Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

This time of year, there's nothing I love more than getting outside and back into nature. That's especially true this year and I find that love of the great outdoors seeping into just about everything I do. And today's dream home is no exception. This cottage is located in the heart of Hocking County, close to all of the Hocking Hills parks that we all know and love. It's over 120 years old and it's so ridiculously charming that I feel like I have to warn you about how much you're going to fall in love with it.
