This home was close to campus and the perfect option for a stay during moms weekend. The hosts were very responsive and the home had all the necessities we needed.
Enjoyed our stay at this lovely home over momâs weekend. It was nice to be able to cook breakfast for my son and have some space to spread out and escape the rain. House is as promised, clean with plenty of amenities. Easy check in, has all the details you need.
Girls weekend to Athens for OU siblings weekend. Had everything we needed and more⊠lots of space in dining room and living room to spread out and relax. Loved having the games and DVDs too. Thanks for a great stay!
The house and yard were very nice and it had everything we needed. Very close and convenient to campus. I recommend a sound machine for sleeping because of the road noise. We would stay here again!
Nice older property with classic craftsman style and updated kitchen and bathroom. The property is close to a busy road but the road noise was not a problem. We all enjoyed our stay and found the house to be a great location for Athens.
We spent a long weekend here for Ohio University Homecoming. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect as well. We will definitely be staying here again!
My family including adult children stayed here for a family reunion in town. We had a couple of late night get togethers with the other families and it was nice knowing we weren't going to disturb anyone else coming back so late and no one to disturb us in the morning. My adult children appreciated the coffee and coffee makers in the house! Thanks a bunch and we hope to return!
House was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The neighborhood seemed safe, but it was not at all walkable, as it was wedged between some big highways and on-ramps which separated it from the campus neighborhood, and windy and hilly back roads with no shoulder were a very indirect (impractical) alternative. However, this probably makes it more affordable to rent, which I appreciated. Overall it was a good value.
So close to everything yet so far from everything!
My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights, over thankagiving 2020.
It's was a little tricky to find, but this property is "a sleeper" perky husband. The outside looks standard, inviting but not flashy. When we went inside we were overjoyed at what we found, the pictures do not do it justice. Everything is updated in the kitchen and bathrooms, the woodwork everywhere makes it feel so homey, the couch is perfect for relaxing, and the bed was comfy.
The Wi-Fi was fast, which is always nice.
The house is less than a 10 minute drive to Ohio University and about 30-45 minutes from the lovely hiking in Hocking Hills
Yes, the freeway is loud. But earplugs were in the bedrooms if you wanted to use them.
I would only change 2 things about the house. First, the living room needs a few blankets or throws, it can get chilly in there at night.
Second, a tankless water heater would make steamy showers even better.
Overall, the place was great. Well-stocked kitchen with a Keurig and K Cups. Comfortable furniture throughout the house. With no WiFi or cable, the nice selection of DVDs gave us a great way to unwind at the end of the day. Knocking off one star for two reasons. First, it's much closer to the highway than I expected, so it was quite noisy (though there were ear plugs left in the bedrooms which we greatly appreciated Secondly, the AC didn't cool the upstairs where the bedrooms are. We were here during a 90+ heat spell, but the upstairs was uncomfortably warm while the first floor was almost too cold since we had the AC on a cooler temp hoping to cool the upstairs. Still, highly recommend if you're visiting Athens!
We got very lucky with this last minute booking. The house was spotless, and very private. Recently remodeled throughout. Communication with the owners was also a breeze. Perfect for our weekend get-away to enjoy Athens.
