Close to Athens and lovely place!

My boyfriend, sister, and brother in law stayed for a weekend with the main reason to visit Ohio University as Alumni. This place was a perfect distance away and a great location. The house was very clean and perfect for our group with the games/hot tub/ fire pit. Check in was easy and the company was quick to respond to a question via email. Will definitely come back when the weather is warmer!

Great house and location

The property was in a great location. We enjoyed being by the lake and walking our dogs around the property. The house was clean and gave us plenty of room for our family. The grandsons loved being able to play pool in the garage. we had a little problem getting the door code, but a Vrbo employee worked diligently at finding the info we needed to get into the house. Would stay here again if in the area.
