Just one block from downtown, Glen Helen Nature Preserve, Antioch College, and the bike trail, this newly remodeled space full of natural light will be the perfect basecamp to explore our quaint village… or to simply do nothing and relax. The Yellow Springs Village Cabin is crisp and clean like a hotel, with space, character, and amenities like a well-appointed home. It’s a quiet, comfortable retreat with easy access to everything YS has to offer. Plus, a hot tub and a pool!

Affectionately called “the cabin,” this original barn (likely from the 1850s) was remodeled into a rustic pottery studio in the 1990s and we reimagined it as a place to host friends and get away without having to leave town. We’ve left several original details and sought a modern hygge vibe that reminds us of our favorite things about all four seasons.
You’ll enter the main room and immediately feel the positive energy from oversized windows, skylights, and simple decor that’s bright and warm. Slip off your shoes and come on in to a living room with a deep sectional couch ready for reading, watching any of your streaming services on the 55" TV, or listening to your favorite music on Sonos speakers.
Across from the living room in one open space, the kitchen is set up by people who cook and we promise you won’t have to cut with any dull knives :). With beautiful white quartz countertops, a 9-foot-wide picture window, 2 skylights, an induction stove, and a just-right-sized island for a quick breakfast or a romantic dinner - we think you’ll agree this space is fantastic. We keep it stocked with some basic foodstuffs - salt, spices, etc. - and have all the main appliances you’d expect (coffee maker, toaster, blender, etc.).
Large sliding glass doors open from the main room into a 3 season room that has an indoor/outdoor couch, coffee table stocked with magazines, and a small table. With nearly 20 feet of glass windows and doors that open to the patio and pool, you can be as outside as you want to be.
The bathroom (downstairs) is an open, modern space that will feel like a spa. The luxurious 6’x6’ shower area has a rain shower head on one side and a handheld wand option on the other. With heated floors and tons of natural light from a skylight, you may end up spending more time in the bathroom than you’d normally expect. The front-lit, anti-fog, dimmable mirror and modern vanity will make this a great place to get ready for a wedding down the street or just to feel your best for a lazy afternoon. Stocked with a hair dryer, iron, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deliciously soft towels and bath robes, and laundry room access, it will have everything you need and just about anything you’d want.
Upstairs, the attic bedroom is spacious and cozy at the same time. There is plenty of light from custom windows and a skylight, a new king bed with top notch linens and pillows, and another TV and more Sonos speakers if you want to spend all day in bed. We've also got a nice selection of board games, plus a Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Playstation 4. There’s a ceiling fan and blackout blinds if you need them and the vault of the original roof makes for a beautifully symmetrical space.
Last but not least, if you’re coming to Yellow Springs, you probably love the outdoors. We do too! When you walk up the driveway, you’ll enter the fenced yard and walk about 100’ back to the cabin. In fall 2021, we installed a stunning 30’x14’ heated, fiberglass pool that is now open and will close on roughly October 15 (depends on the weather a bit for the exact date - message us for updates). Towels are provided. The landscaping is a (lifelong) work in progress but the pool and patio are ready to go, including outdoor Sonos-connected speakers. While there are neighbors on all sides of the property, they’re no closer than in just about any part of the Village, and you’ll find this to be a quiet neighborhood with very few distractions. 2 of the 3 neighbors are rarely in town and the other place is set back and possibly the most iconic home in Yellow Springs, so it's easy on the eyes! Oh, and we have 2 canoes and a kayak you're welcome to borrow, just let us know and we'll figure out the details.
Unfortunately, the cabin does not host children or fur-babies. The Village of Yellow Springs zoning says "No more than two adults shall occupy the accessory dwelling unit."
