Wonderful stay in Athens for Graduation!

This hidden gem in Athens was super for our twins' graduation from OU! It was comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. The host was responsive and quite helpful. I would recommend it to anyone looking. Wish the weather would have been cooperative to take advantage of the lovely gazebo out back. Super clean and well stocked with lovely towels too!

Ohio Windy Nine motorcycle excursion

We had a very nice stay. The property was beautiful and Rob was an excellent host. I loved sitting in the screen porch listening to the birds and watching the wildlife. Very quiet and peaceful.

OU Homecoming Weekend

We stayed here in order to attend the Ohio University Homecoming weekend. The drive to and from campus was easy. The house was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Deer were in the yard each morning when we woke up. We’ll stay here again.

Nichole

literally obsessed with the decor

We stayed here for the Nelsonville Music Festival and absolutely loved it! The house was so cute, it felt like staying at your grandma’s place (in the very best way). It's cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. It had everything we needed and more.We didn’t get to spend nearly as much time at the house as we would’ve liked, but we loved the back porch and the beautiful front yard—wish we had more time to just hang out and enjoy it all. Highly recommend, and we’d absolutely stay again!
