Ohio vacay

We came down to spend time with family and friends in the area. It was rainy, chilly, and cloudy most of our stay, but we did have some nice weather. We didn't really do any sightseeing or adventures on this trip. Mostly we stayed in the Nelsonville, Athens & Amesville areas.

Nice Old House

If you are going to Nelsonvilled or Hocking College, the location is excellent. This is a cool old house. Bring your own soap and shampoo.If you have a dog, be aware that there is a big gap in the fence and your dog can easily leave the nice private back yard.

Beautiful old home!

The pictures do not do it justice. Overall a great stay! Check in / out was quick but had to go to a retail business to pick up key. Home was very clean, but was a little dissappointed that the upstairs ( bath and sleeping area) was so hot! The downstairs was a very comfortable.

Cute house in historic area

Rented this place for a girls weekend. It was a beautiful well kept home that was clean and fully furnished. The owners were quick to respond to questions. Gps was a little lost getting us to the exact house but we quickly found it. The neighborhood is cute and appears to be trying to make a comeback to its glory days. It was a short drive to hocking hills. Would definitely stay again.

Hocking Hills-“buggy”

The home was historic and beautiful—gorgeous wood floors. The neighborhood was rundown and felt a bit sketchy. There is some effort to revitalize a one block stretch that had a couple cute shops/coffee house. The worst part of stay is that we discovered cockroaches on our fifth of six night stay— gross!

Great Stay

This property is exactly as pictured. As mentioned in previous reviews there is no hot tub. We were offered a free kayaking trip. The back yard was wonderful and relaxing. We enjoyed watching the birds at the feeders. The house was very clean. I do wish check in and check out could have been on site but it was only about 5 min away from the property.

Beautiful home

A beautiful, impeccably clean house. The town is small. It is a beautiful home and I would love there in a minute. The home is right by the town square. The town is small. A few local restaurants are within one block. 2 of 3 were closed the weekend we were there. You’re 30 minutes away from Hocking Hills State Park. Beautiful park. We went tubing on the Hocking river and that was great. We were just minutes away from that.

A truly outstanding house and experience!

The entire experience of staying with 1st Choice Properties was excellent. The check-in was clear and easy. When we arrived at the house, it was impeccably clean. This particular house is quite old (built in the 1850's), but the kitchen and all 3 bathrooms have been nicely updated. The interior design and decor are tasteful and modern. We encountered a small issue during our stay (we couldn't find the ironing board that was listed as being included). We contacted the management team and they addressed it promptly and to our complete satisfaction. I very highly recommend this house and 1st Choice Properties. We would definitely stay wtih them again!

Listing needs updating

The inside of the home is as listed and clean with the exception of the windowsills , absolutely filthy. The outside is another story. The backyard is completely unusable, we’d filled mess. The furniture is moldy and the ashtrays still had used cigarettes in it. The front porch shows a storm door, ferns and a lovely porch. Completely not accurate. Again filled ashtrays, dirty furniture and a missing storm door.

House was clean and had everything we needed. The only complaint would be the hidden 50 pet fee that did not appear anywhere on the advertisement for the property. All fees were supposably included with the listed cost. We didn't find out until we were charged the additional 50 that there was a 50 pet fee for this property. The 50 additional pet fee only appears in the fine print of the exhaustive rental agreement when you are actually booking the rental. The web site should clearly list the additional 50 pet fee for each pet. The only verbiage on the web site relating to pets is that it is a pet friendly rental.
