Manse house with antiques

For your information. 1st the price quoted by VRBO was NOT the price when booked, beyond the cleaning and taxes the price raised by $50. I called the rental company about this and they said it ranges day to day and they could do nothing about it.😕 Also you must pick up and drop off the key, not terrible but a bit of an inconvenience. The house itself was beautiful filled with antiques and very convenient to town. The church next door has beautiful singing bells which do not chime at night. How do they do that? Negatives : The pillows were hugely fat. I ended up sleeping without one. It was cold and if you ran both extra heaters upstairs the fuse blew. So one of us slept with out the extra heat. Finally if you are traveling alone or a group of females, Nelsonville is economically depressed. Several boarded up houses around the corner.. With that said our 30 year old daughter went running every morning and had no trouble. It is close to Hocking Hills state park and Wayne National Forest.both beautiful to enjoy.

The history of the house is apparent and beautiful! We stayed in July so the Nelsonville air was hot and still. The air conditioner was very effective, even too cold at times but there was no thermostat that I could locate and it was a on a pre-programmed schedule making the house comfortable the majority of the time.We love the full kitchen that enabled us the bring food to cook. A large cast iron skillet provided the perfect vessel to roast a whole chicken.This house is perfect to walk to Stuart's Opera House.
