OU Mom’s Weekend Viist

The Lilac Suite at Hyde House in Nelsonville was a perfect stay for my visit with my OU student for Mom’s Weekend. Nelsonville is a short 20 minute drive from campus. Love the B&B option at such a reasonable price and lovely location. Breakfast is good, property is very clean and well maintained. Have stayed a there few times now and would happily stay again!
