Rim Of The World Cabin
Great cabin, very few cars over the weekend.

Romantic Nature Retreat: King Bed, Hot Tub, Pet OK
We had a great time at Tiger Lily! The cottage was super clean, cute and cozy. Even better than the photos. We enjoyed all the extra touches and non-toxic offerings. The hot tub was a hit for our son who spent several hours in it during our stay. He can’t wait to go back! Our dog was equally excited about his cozy bed and fun toys as well as the fenced in yard. Truly a great stay for a small family. We didn’t explore too much, but we are more of a “hang out and relax” family so it was perfect. There isn’t an oven, but the cooktop, grill, and air fryer were all we needed. The cottage is perfect for two or a family with one child. I would definitely recommend Tiger Lily for a relaxing retreat. Chris and Lisa are terrific hosts!

Secluded Vacation Retreat overlooking 5 acre lake
Beautiful place. Exactly as. described. Very clean. Comfortable bed. Kitchen had everything needed to make breakfast. Never seen so many light switches in a place before. So happy they were all labeled. Will stay here again.

Two Vacation Rentals on Lake near Hocking Hills
I hate to give a such a glowing review because I don’t want to generate more competition to rent it in the future, but this venue was wonderful. We stayed this location for OU Mom’s Weekend & it was a fantastic choice! It was the perfect place to relax, connect and unwind when we weren’t in Athens. It had absolutely everything we could have wanted. It was a convenient Uber ride away & perfect for a group of moms. If you want a sweet place tucked away from the hustle with some cool country amenities, then this is the rental for you. It looks like they’re in the process of making improvements, but honestly the imperfections were part of its charm. Highly recommended!

Golden Moose Cottage with hot tub
My boyfriend and I had an amazing time at this lovely little cottage!! It had a little bit of everything, and a lot of ways away from the loudness of any cities. We didn't get to use the hot tub unfortunately, but we could've prepared better. the hot tub wouldn't heat above 91, even when making sure it was on the right setting. We discovered this on our second night there, when we went to get in around 6pm. We waited an hour to see if it would heat up at all, but it wasn't budging. We did contact Trisha then, and she contacted maintenance, but we decided to just forego the experience because it would've taken awhile for the water to heat up and we don't stay up late. We do plan on coming back, this was a gem of a place! The only thing I would add is some lamps or some accent lighting in the house for us neurodivergents that dont use "the big light" because it hurts our eyes and is overstimulating. That's a personal preference, which is why I'm giving our experience 5 stars well earned!

Serene Nature Retreat: Hot tub, Trail, Pets OK
Chris and Lisa’s place was absolutely stunning! Extremely clean inside and outside of the cottage! Any questions I had were answered quickly! The beds and furniture was extremely comfortable. Back patio area was perfect for us ! Cannot wait to go back with better weather to explore the trails ! Perfect getaway!

The Cottage
This was our second time staying at The Cottage and our experience was incredible, yet again! The peaceful, private setting is exactly what we were looking for to unwind and enjoy nature - and watching the horses in the distance created such a unique experience. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the pond and exploring the trails along the property. Martin was very communicative, as well as responsive and accommodating as we decided to extend our stay an extra day because of the amazing time we were having! We will definitely be returning next year!

Kittle Pine Front Rental Cottage of Burr Oak Lake
The house was exactly what we we're looking for, for a little getaway with a few friends. Some other comments mention a lot of deer heads and there sure were a lot of them, but they were nice and didn't cause any trouble during the stay.

Burr Oak Cabin
Wonderful experience!! An idyllic setting looking over woods leading to a lake! Todd was great to work with, very flexible and responsive. Would highly recommend.

Quiet, Gracious Country Studio
My stay went very well. I didn't need for anything, there was even a hair dryer! The porch is great and kept us out if the rain. We slept like babies each night. Certainly worth every penny!

College Hill Cottage
Our stay at College Hill Cottage was relaxing and the perfect place to spend a weekend. The location is very easy to find, and both the inside and outside spaces were very welcoming and cozy. Our family felt right at home as we celebrated Easter weekend! Dianne was very friendly and proactive. She communicated with us to make sure we had everything we need. The cottage is very cute and well taken care of. We will definitely consider staying at College Hill Cottage the next time we want to spend a nice family weekend!
