    Retreat near the university
    This was a wonderful home away from home in a beautiful natural setting that offered the feel of a retreat while being just a short ten minute drive too the center of the OU campus. Attentive and responsive hosts who also respect privacy, superb laundry facilities, wonderful view. Recommend without reservation!

    Nive with caveat
    Th property is nice. The apartment is very cozy and clean. The property is pretty. We have zero complaints about the comfort of the property. What isn't clear in the listing is that what you are renting is an apartment in the lower level of the pictured house which is also the owner's home. So while the house is comfortable, it isnt private. Had this been clear, we probably wouldn't have chosen to stay there with three rambunctious children. While the owner never complained, we were never the less constantly on guard to make sure the kids didn't make too much noise. The owners were pleasant to deal with and even cut us a break on the extra fees for having the kids. This would probably be a good place for a few adults that just need a clean place that is close to Athens.

    The apartment/cabin has the most peaceful surroundings and is just minutes away from Ohio University. The owners thought of just about anything you could need during your stay and it was very clean. You can't beat the view.

    Peaceful, comfortable and welcoming
    I had a short but wonderful stay at this apartment. It was extremely clean and welcoming and I felt comfortable staying there. As others have said, they thought of everything I could have needed. I was staying there from out of state to move my daughter into Ohio University and it was very convenient to the school. I would definitely enjoy staying here again.
