    This property is stunning, well-equipped and quiet. The home and beds were comfortable and we had all that we needed to prepare meals in the kitchen. Great location and superb communication with the owner. Would definitely stay again.

    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!

    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.

    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.
