Charming Cabin

We loved our time at Hawk Retreat. It was very clean and decorated with charm. We felt secluded, but close enough to Athens that it was convenient to head into town for food and fun. We’ll be back!

Beautiful Winter Getaway

Hawk’s Ridge is a wonderful place! Stayed here for our daughter’s graduation from OU. Close enough to be a part of everything in Athens and far enough away to feel like you’re away from it all. Beautiful home and surrounds - the hot tub is ideal at the end of long day hiking. Our host was very responsive to our questions and made sure we had everything we needed for a great family occasion. Highly recommended

OU get away…

My husband, son, fiancée and myself came to Athens for the big football game. A chance to see the Bobcats beat Ball State and make the Mac tournament. My son and I both are OU Alumni and love every chance we get to visit. This get away was over Thanksgiving and we were able to stay in this beautiful home and celebrate.

Another great stay at our favorite place

We’ve been coming here for several years, and this was another all-5s experience for us. We didn’t use the hot tub or the TV much this time, though both looked nice. Very clean, very comfortable and very communicative. We visited the Saturday morning farmers market and uptown music/arts festival, hiked the bike path and up to Radar Hill, shopped uptown and dined at JackieO’s & Little Fish Looking forward to getting back, and will look to Hawk Ridge Retreat first.

Motorcycle trip

Place was beautiful and peaceful, we enjoyed the surrounding woods and seeing deer near by. The only complaint is that there wasnt a very good description of the long hill driveway with gravel, and that’s only because we had motorcycles. But we managed and really enjoyed ourselves, would go back for sure:)

Our 2nd stay at this property.

We enjoyed staying at this property a second time. The secluded location provided a perfect setting to relax, enjoy nature, and rest. Nice open layout (kitchen, dining area, and loving room). Size of bedrooms (2) and bathrooms (2) was ample and very comfortable.

Lovely place!

This is my new favorite place to stay when visiting family in Guysville! For this trip it was me and my 90 year-old dad - the interior layout was perfect for him. The home is very comfortable, clean and well-appointed, not to mention the beauty of being surrounded by trees. I will certainly stay at Hawk Ridge again.

Absolutely Perfect Property

My husband and I came into town for a football game to see our son. Another couple joined us. The property is amazing. All of the accommodations are comfortable and the property has everything you might need. The owner has taken great care in the comfort of their guests, from beautiful bedding, extra blankets and towels, and a well stocked kitchen. A very quiet property where the you can enjoy the outdoors from the deck and hot tub, as well as from the amazing picture windows indoors. The communication was great with the owner. We will definitely be back. Great stay!

Absolutely beautiful! Every detail was thought of by the property owner. Very clean, comfortable, peaceful. The perfect get away. The hot tub was great and the fire pit was close.
