This hidden gem in Athens was super for our twins' graduation from OU! It was comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. The host was responsive and quite helpful. I would recommend it to anyone looking. Wish the weather would have been cooperative to take advantage of the lovely gazebo out back. Super clean and well stocked with lovely towels too!

We stayed here for the Nelsonville Music Festival and absolutely loved it! The house was so cute, it felt like staying at your grandma’s place (in the very best way). It's cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. It had everything we needed and more. We didn’t get to spend nearly as much time at the house as we would’ve liked, but we loved the back porch and the beautiful front yard—wish we had more time to just hang out and enjoy it all. Highly recommend, and we’d absolutely stay again!
