Close to Athens and lovely place!
My boyfriend, sister, and brother in law stayed for a weekend with the main reason to visit Ohio University as Alumni. This place was a perfect distance away and a great location. The house was very clean and perfect for our group with the games/hot tub/ fire pit. Check in was easy and the company was quick to respond to a question via email. Will definitely come back when the weather is warmer!

Great house and location
The property was in a great location. We enjoyed being by the lake and walking our dogs around the property. The house was clean and gave us plenty of room for our family. The grandsons loved being able to play pool in the garage. we had a little problem getting the door code, but a Vrbo employee worked diligently at finding the info we needed to get into the house. Would stay here again if in the area.

Weekend getaway
First night (friday) hottub wasn't working . I called Saturday morning to notify them about the issue and was told theyd try to send someone out. In the binder left at the property it says to call to notify them about this issue (obviously this is something that happens a lot) . I heard nothing back so called again Saturday evening and was told maybe the maintenance man didnt have cell service and thats it. So going 2 days nights without the hottub . Sunday around 4pm ( we are due to check out monday morning) the guy finally shows up . Takes the hottub panel off "fixes" the problem and leaves . The hottub was ice cold at that point and he Didnt even replace the panel so wires are then exposed. The wiring coming from the breaker box arent insulationed which is not up to code . So needless to say we couldnt use the hottub even if it was working . We were traveling with our daughter that has special needs and uses a wheelchair, we would have NEVER booked this property had we had known the hottub was like this. She needs away to relax her body after a long day in her chair. Its was obvious that this is an on going problem because it is stated in several reviews but in their cases it was fixed fast . If youre going to continue to advertise you have a hottub maybe invest in one that is safe and works. Its very unfortunate because other than that and some minor repair issues that need addressed it could be a wonderful place. The cleaning staff definitely do an amazing job.

Nice little property
We came for a quick getaway. This place was lovely. Very clean. Minor issues that were attended to quickly. Nothing that impacted our stay. The pool table is a nice addition. We enjoyed multiple games on one of the rainy days of our stay. Great location and the food from Lucky’s is close and delicious!

Great place to stay.
Came for parents week. This was a great place for the parents to stay. Have a daughter and two nieces at OU. The house was beautiful. It was nice to be able to have places to sit and talk and to cook/eat. It wasn't far from campus. We had a little challenge finding it but once there were pleased with our entire stay.

Loved the Lake!
We all had a great time at your place for Labor Day Weekend! My grandson, who is 10, just loved fishing off the dock and the paddle boat! They really enjoyed the pool table and basketball game in the garage.We did a couple of hikes at Hocking Hills too! It was a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend! Thanks for a great time!
