Apartment in Albany

Over the Coffee Shop Lodge • Near OU/Hocking Hills

JonathonRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Cozy spot in quiet, small town Albany above a lively corner cafe. We stayed here for a month during the holidays to visit nearby family and enjoyed our stay. Gregg has added a ton of thoughtful touches (decor, comfy blankets/pillows, plenty of seating) that make for a nice area to hangout, large beds in both bedrooms and a well stocked kitchen for cooking. The apartment is on the second floor above a cafe at an intersection so there is some neighborly noise but it’s great for a coffee lovers waking up to the smell of freshly roasted and steps from the cafe. Gregg is extremely responsive and friendly for any/all requests and messages. We would definitely stay here again if we’re in the area and would recommend if you’re looking for a nice two bedroom stay near Athens

Bright Modern Basement Apt

MackenzieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

As OU alumni, my group was ecstatic to find this place. They were extremely communicative throughout the entire process, instructions were clear and finding the place/getting inside was smooth. It is a walkable location if you're active as it's quite hilly to walk up to Court St, but we had no problem doing so! The unit was clean and exactly as pictured. Great price for what you get, would definitely stay here again!

The Beehive at Bigfoot Hollow

KatherineRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

The Beehive was a lovely place. It had so much to do at the house for people of all ages. Our 16 year old son loved playing with the Hotwheels track in the kids room and cuddling with the cats outside. The whole family had a great time with the board games, claw machine, and massage chair. The house was so warm and accepting -- just the environment we needed while staying in an area that was new to us. Would love to go back in the future! Only thing to note was that data coverage in the area could be spotty -- the home's wifi was great, but future guests should save a copy of the check in info as a back up in case they have bad reception upon arrival.

A comfortable living room features a large television mounted on a low, black media console. Two gray sofas frame a light wooden coffee table, which is adorned with a small plant. Natural light fills the space through two windows, creating a welcoming ambiance.

Dove Cottage Forest Retreat

DeanRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

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!

Custom built 3bed home King beds,Hottub,on a Pond.

AndrewRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Beautiful home on a beautiful property; away from the city (Athens) yet very easy to get there. Favorite things: the front porch overlooking the pond for morning coffee, the paths through the meadow to hear and see the migrating birds, the hot tub and fire pit at night with a sky full of stars untainted by city lights. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. Everything was clean and worked well.
