Places to stay in Athens County

This cabin was very spacious. Perfect for groups, we had our family of 5 there and only used two of the 5 bedrooms. The area is beautiful and there was plenty to do outside including the hot tub, swings, grill, and walking trail. I would definitely recommend this chalet.

I have rented many modest cabins in Hocking Hills, and Fullbrooks stands out—everything we needed it to be. Great: well-appointed kitchen (sharp knives, sugar, salt/pepper); several outdoor spaces; super clean (including hot tub); clear stargazing (Milky Way); private (not secluded); comfy furniture throughout; extra towels, TP, paper towels, dish/hand soap; shocking lack of bugs*; dog-friendly (our big pup relished the free range—within easy view). Okay: 20-30 min drive to most HH attractions; patchy media (could connect phones to wifi, but even after resetting the router, couldn’t connect to Netflix/cast to TV from our phones); off-site check in/out added ~15 min x2 to our drive. Tips: Bring back-up matches for a fire and your own napkins. To those mindful of plastics/PFAS, the kitchen has only scratched up nonstick cookware; bring your own pot and pan, as well as a container to collect recyclables to take home. *1st Choice sprays for bugs, including bees. Poor pollinators. ☹

Bryan was an amazing host, his property was truly 1 of 1, amazing backyard and perfect home to bring your family even closer! on a quiet street and close proximity to the great nightlife Athens offers. Check in and check out was seamless and Bryan makes himself readily available if there’s anything his guests might need. Highly recommend this property for small groups. 10/10 experience. -Devone

The crew loved this place and we recommend you staying here if you get a chance.

It was well worth the price. The hot tub was clean and relaxing. it had rained prior so it was very muddy outside. We would come back.

The Lovely Breeze was an activity in its own to use all of the beautiful amenities, which was perfect on a very rainy weekend! Only bummer was the outdoor fireplace didn’t work well despite some troubleshooting. We would definitely like to come back in the future tho!

As before, another great stay at Orchard Gables at the Zenner House! My daughter and I came down to OU for sibs weekend to visit our other daughter. The house had everything we needed and more. I’m sure we’ll be back!

Would highly recommend and would love to book again for a longer visit next time

My husband, 3 children and I had an absolutely wonderful stay! Karen is a wonderful, gracious host and truly goes above and beyond. She stopped by and made sure we knew where everything was and answered any questions we had! She made sure the kids had plenty of toys/books and even left them some snacks, making sure what we allowed our children to have first. It was a no screen weekend for us, and no cell signal made it all the better!! We hiked around her stunning property, watched the sunset over the icy pond, built a few fires and cooked dinner over them each night. We cannot wait to come back this summer! We made a weekend filled with core memories for our kiddos and wonderful memories for us. Thank you so much Karen, can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed a nice relaxing Easter with our Bobcat. Definitely a pleasure having something ADA for mobility challenges. We will definitely be back as long as it’s available when we would need it. Alexandra was pleasure to work with.

This place is a true gem for getting away from it all. I had a blast with my friends, and being surrounded by nature was incredibly refreshing. It's even more beautiful than I expected, and I'd love to return!💜

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!

We came down to check out OU and Big Pine was the perfect place for us! Private but so close to Athens and everything Athens has to offer. Host was very responsive and even took steps to make our dog feel welcomed! We will be back!

Anne provides a wonderfully appointed, dog-themed room for you and your furry traveling companion. The theme is carried throughout the generous rental space in every “spot”, from soaps to sheets! She provided all the local information we needed during our stay. At her suggestion, we walked up the hill to greet the horses - which we highly recommend!

Cozy and warm, plenty of space. I was there to visit my son at OU and it was a bit far from campus, but we enjoyed some time on the hiking trail right out the back door, and playing cars on the porch, so it all worked out. Good communication from the host, thanks so much!

Really enjoyed our week staying at Jons cabin. He was a great host and very hospitable. The cabin was perfect for our group and the town of Athens is only a 10 minute drive down the road. Four of us spent a week bowhunting the property and every guy saw deer while in the woods. We target mature bucks and unfortunately were not able to seal the deal. It wasn’t for a lack of trying or seeing deer. The bucks just outsmarted us this time. We are already booked for next season and looking forward to it.

Dran was great to work with and very accommodating. This place is beautiful and comfortable. Tucked away in the woods with a beautiful view....you'll have great family/friend time playing games and watching movies. Which was perfect, because the weather was icky. It's only about 5 miles from campus and super close to everything you could possibly need or want of you choose to venture out. We will definitely be back!! "Thanks, Dran."

Nina’s place was perfect for our visit - comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. She was proactive in sending information and flexible since my party needed a later check-out. Would stay again and would recommend!

We had a great time at the blueberry in. The hot tub is amazing! Everything was great there. Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay free of the outside noise. This was perfect as we were visiting our daughter at Ohio University - only 20 minutes away! If you're looking to unplug, this is perfect complete with a hot tub. No wifi and cell service is very, very spotty. We didn't mind! Erin was extremely communicative as there was lots of rain in the area and she kept her eye on the roads for us. We would love to stay again and take advantage of the fire pit and walking the grounds.

Highly recommend this home! Nice quite area that had tons of parking for my guys and very clean. Becky is a great communicator and host. Looking forward to booking again in the future when we are back in the area for work.

We loved the place. It was better than staying in a camper or motel. It was like home away from home.

Truly amazing. Greater than what we expected

The cottage was perfect! A very peaceful location which was just what we needed and yet close enough to Athens to enjoy all it had to offer. The weekend had unprecedented rains which led to flooding in the area but Jason kept in touch with me before my arrival to ensure I was informed on what was going on in the area. The cottage was on high ground and was not the concern but he kept me informed of alternate routes if needed. Even with all the rain, we had a great time enjoying the hot tub and the quiet surroundings. We will definitely be back!!
