Hawk Ridge Retreat was the perfect weekend getaway. The home is a beautiful mix of rustic craftsmanship and modern amenities — like a knotty pine ceiling; hardwood floors & trim; spacious, cozy bedrooms; huge stone tile bathroom with a steaming hot shower; a kitchen you want to cook in (newer stove/fridge, plenty of counter space); and plenty of fluffy towels for the hot tub. We watched leaves float across the sky from the hot tub, walked around Athens, binge watched a show on Netflix, and slept like logs. It was a perfect place to relax on a rainy-snowy weekend in November.

What a beautiful and serene getaway! We truly enjoyed our stay. This guest house was very comfortable and the view from the large glass windows in the living room/kitchen space was gorgeous. We made good use of the luxurious hot tub in the evenings and experienced a really relaxing weekend. We liked the house so much that we hung out in it for most of our visit to the Athens area!

Charming Cabin

We loved our time at Hawk Retreat. It was very clean and decorated with charm. We felt secluded, but close enough to Athens that it was convenient to head into town for food and fun. We’ll be back!

Beautiful Winter Getaway

Hawk’s Ridge is a wonderful place! Stayed here for our daughter’s graduation from OU. Close enough to be a part of everything in Athens and far enough away to feel like you’re away from it all. Beautiful home and surrounds - the hot tub is ideal at the end of long day hiking. Our host was very responsive to our questions and made sure we had everything we needed for a great family occasion. Highly recommended

OU get away…

My husband, son, fiancée and myself came to Athens for the big football game. A chance to see the Bobcats beat Ball State and make the Mac tournament. My son and I both are OU Alumni and love every chance we get to visit. This get away was over Thanksgiving and we were able to stay in this beautiful home and celebrate.

Another great stay at our favorite place

We’ve been coming here for several years, and this was another all-5s experience for us. We didn’t use the hot tub or the TV much this time, though both looked nice. Very clean, very comfortable and very communicative. We visited the Saturday morning farmers market and uptown music/arts festival, hiked the bike path and up to Radar Hill, shopped uptown and dined at JackieO’s & Little Fish Looking forward to getting back, and will look to Hawk Ridge Retreat first.

Motorcycle trip

Place was beautiful and peaceful, we enjoyed the surrounding woods and seeing deer near by. The only complaint is that there wasnt a very good description of the long hill driveway with gravel, and that’s only because we had motorcycles. But we managed and really enjoyed ourselves, would go back for sure:)

We enjoyed staying at this property a second time. The secluded location provided a perfect setting to relax, enjoy nature, and rest. Nice open layout (kitchen, dining area, and loving room). Size of bedrooms (2) and bathrooms (2) was ample and very comfortable.

Lovely place!

This is my new favorite place to stay when visiting family in Guysville! For this trip it was me and my 90 year-old dad - the interior layout was perfect for him. The home is very comfortable, clean and well-appointed, not to mention the beauty of being surrounded by trees. I will certainly stay at Hawk Ridge again.
