Step inside a rare piece of Ohio history.
Nestled in Chesterhill, Ohio, this historic hand-hewn log cabin was built circa 1835 by early Quaker settlers in Morgan County. Fully renovated and recently restored inside, the cabin offers guests a cozy retreat with a rare combination of authentic 19th-century character and modern comfort.
Local history connects this cabin and the surrounding Quaker community to the Underground Railroad, where abolitionist Friends helped freedom seekers escaping slavery on their journey north. Staying here offers more than a quiet getaway — it is a chance to spend time inside a genuine piece of history tied to courage, conscience, and the pursuit of freedom.
Inside, guests will find one bedroom with a queen bed and a living room with a sofa bed, making the cabin comfortable for additional guests. The full bathroom includes a refreshing shower, and the cabin is equipped with heat and air conditioning for year-round comfort. Modern amenities include a kitchenette, refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, washer and dryer, city water, and city sewer.
The cabin is also an excellent home base for a Southeast Ohio weekend getaway. Motorcyclists, car enthusiasts, bicyclists, campers, hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, wildlife watchers, and wilderness seekers will find plenty to enjoy in the rolling hills, wooded backroads, open countryside, and quiet rural setting surrounding Chesterhill.
For riders and drivers, the area is especially known for Ohio State Route 555, better known as the Triple Nickel.

Visitors can also check out Chesterhill’s Triple Nickel Diner, a well-known local stop connected to the route and community.
