Places to stay in Athens County

My brothers and I were in the area over Memorial weekend on our motorcycles to ride The Windy Nine motorcycle roads. This location was perfect, just outside of Athens but not too far. Quaint little cabin in the woods the also offered cover for our bikes to keep them from collecting morning dew. This small cottage offered everything we needed but bot too fancy. The only caution is finding the driveway on the initial arrival can be a bit tricky especially on motorcycles as the winding road that leads to the cottage is not too U-turn friendly for motorcycles. Overall, awesome place and we will be back!

This house was in a quiet, peaceful location and it was the perfect size for our family getaway. Loved how close it was to OU! We are looking forward to our next stay!

My wife and I have been bringing our two dogs there for a few years now. its a little getaway we look forward to every year. the property is peaceful with a trail to the lake that connects to burr oak state park trails. clyde is a great host. responds quickly and maintains the house and property well. looking forward to the next trip out there

Tom was an excellent host. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was the best it could be. A beautiful home and property.

We were just passing through on a long drive but it was a great place to stay! The goats across the street were really cute too

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.

I am most grateful for this little hideaway. From the front gate, the place is unassuming and tucked away... but just past a few curves, hills, and bends a peaceful and welcoming cottage emerges. My wife and I loved the peaceful cottage, just perfect for a couple (or small family) and their dog, with nothing but open air and horses grazing in the pasture. It was beautiful and everything it was billed to be. Thanks for a great experience... we will definitely be back! :) N. Davis

I absolutely plan on coming back to Sugar Maple cottage in the future. I would recommend for a Girls, Couples, or Family get away. The property is amazing and the cottage felt like home (but nicer LOL). LOVED the hot tub and fireplace after a day of hiking the property. So much to do we probably could have spent a week just exploring, never leaving the property.

Wonderful place out in the country. Great kitchen with a keurig coffee pot and full size fridge and freezer. The internet worked smoothly the whole time, even when we streamed the tv. Lots of great restaurants in town 20 minutes away. All in all a perfect little getaway, will definitely be coming back!

We had a wonderful and relaxing long weekend. The cabin was spotless and very welcoming and comfortable. Sarah responded almost immediately when we had questions. She was also good about informing us of things that might affect our stay. Her husband came immediately when we had a question about the hot tub. We could not have asked for better hosts! We have already booked the cabin again for this fall.

I’m don’t usually write reviews, but we had such an exceptional experience that I felt compelled to share. This serene cozy little cabin has unexpected personal touches everywhere you look such as the homemade jarred tea, fresh cut flowers from their garden, art deco wine glasses, a hand written personal welcome note, a curated reading selection that alone makes me want to rebook just to come back. I loved visiting their chicken coop, bee hives, and looking at all of the plants and flowers in their garden. We visited on our 30th wedding anniversary. It was the perfect get away. Thank you! We will be back.

We really enjoyed staying at Greg and Jana’s place. It was the perfect location by OU - we walked to campus and it was about 10-15 minutes away. The house was comfortable and exactly what we needed for two people. We will definitely stay again when visiting our daughter!

Anita was an incredible host, attentive and accomodating. her home was beautiful and Sunday morning we saw a wild turkey walking across the back yard, absolutely stunning location.

We enjoyed or stay! A very comfortable home and peaceful respite from our busy graduation weekend at OU. The home is very well equipped and comfortable. I hope to have the chance to stay again!

Cozy little cabin just out of town. Really nice

What an amazing, magical place tucked away in the lovely Hocking Hills! This dome is truly unique and Ana has thought of absolutely everything! My husband and I stayed here for a quick 2 day vacation away from the kiddos. The dome decor was lovely, the space was so functional and the outdoor hot tub and fire pit were such great bonus features. We did not have a chance to do much niking or sightseeing (the dome was too relaxing to leave!) but it was very close to several places to eat, including an awesome brewery, Small Fish. What a gem!!!
