About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Whole House, 5 minutes by car to OU, 2 Bedroom, 1.5 bath, Smart TV, FREE Wi-Fi

We follow Airbnb’s COVID-19 safety practices. House in woods 5 minutes to Athens. FREE Spectrum high speed WIFI. NOT suitable for parties. This is a re-modeled 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath home located seconds outside of town but down a private gravel road. The house fronts the highway but it is back behind the trees. A SUV all wheel drive car is best because our house is down a 1/4 mile private gravel drive. We do not plow snow because of the gravel so if a storm is coming. NO HASSLE self check in with easy keypad electronic lock, NO keys to lose! This is a completely, lovingly re-modeled 80 year old house in the woods, down a private gravel lane. The entire house is yours including the garage without a door. We have a full kitchen, 1.5 baths and 2 bedrooms, each having a queen bed. The TV is a ROKU so bring your passwords. We also have a DVD player and a library of DVD's for your use. There is a grass side yard and woods to hike in. Entire house and surrounding 7 acres of woods and brush. My family and I live in Athens so if you need something, we are here. Otherwise you will not see us except to cut lawn and maybe pick up trash if you are staying a week or longer.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Great house and location
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.

Great stay. Super private.
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!

Nice house at a reasonable price
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.

Clean, roomy house in a convenient location
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!

Clean and Comfortable House, and Privacy to Boot!
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.
