Relax in the hot tub & enjoy this recently renovated space nestled in an acre of woods. Ideally located just a ½ mile walk to the edge of campus, you’ll feel right at home in the lower level of our family home decorated and supplied with love and care. Cook in the charming kitchen, sit or spa outdoors, rest in the cozy bedroom, relax or watch TV in the living room & office with a gas fireplace and plenty of natural light. Includes washer/dryer & sleeps 5 with queen & twin foldouts.

Our home is just a one mile walk to the heart of campus yet feels remote in a neighborhood of just six homes surrounded by woods. You'll stay in the completely private walkout basement of our family home, complete with a kitchen, full bathroom and laundry, a patio with outdoor dining, and a backyard staircase for easier access to Richland Avenue. We have a large, open yard, a climbing dome, swings, and playground equipment to keep your kids active.

There are up to three parking spots available right outside our home. A very beautiful, comfortable space year-round, there are windows in every room with a view of an acre of forest. We've put a lot of love and care into making your space special and comfortable. We are just a message away and often right upstairs if you need anything at all.

Given you'll be staying in the lower level of our family home, we do require you share the purpose of your visit as a safety precaution. When you book, please be sure to include a note about what brings you to visit Athens. Thanks and we look forward to hosting you!

    The hosts were very responsive and eager to help make our stay wonderful. The property was very clean and decorated beautifully. We appreciated the proximity to OU campus and ease of getting around.

    Beautiful location, beautiful space. Wish they had a microwave to heat up our leftovers from dinner but not a deal breaker will absolutely stay here again should our travels bring us this way again in the future.

    The place was clean and nice, location was ideal, but the listing said it was a full house but it was more like a downstairs addition to the host’s home. Could use some window coverings, but otherwise was very neat - nice outdoor seating areas featuring clear night skies and some deer visitors.

    I was only there about 12 hours, but the space and owners were great. The kitchen is really lovely and the location is great for OU access.

    We got there and it was dark, and it was quite difficult to maneuver our way down the steps which was poorly lighted with no railing to the entryway. Unfortunately, the house smells like mildew. The kitchen is pretty and well appointed. It bad situation wasn’t exactly what I had thought. There were fold down chairs.

    Very clean place, I struggled with the parking and access. Very limited parking and difficult to park after dark, it was difficult to maneuver. This is the basement, you have to walk around the side of the house, steps were very slippery in the rain and it was very dark at night. Also I recommend curtains be put up in the main area and the bathroom window, kind of spooky at night with no curtains to close.

    We wanted to be near the OU Inn due to others in our party being there. We needed a cozy place to spend the night and this fit the bill perfectly.

    We really enjoyed the stay. It was close to town and everything we needed. We were moving our daughter into the dorms at OU and the location was great. Host was very nice. We will definitely stay here again.

    My family and I had a great experience staying here to visit the college for the weekend. The place was easy to find and very clean. It was also very nicely furnished and came equipped with everything you could possibly need for a short or long term stay. Would recommend!

    The place was spacious and clean. As someone who travels a lot and likes to prepare my own meals, this kitchen was the best. Gas range ,quality cookware and utensils.

    Great little spot for friends to get away and visit Athens! We visited and walked to uptown because it was so nice out. Very clean and cozy spot. Would recommend to others! Hosts were very responsive too.
