Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Athens

The property and house were absolutely gorgeous. Even with the rain we had a fabulous time and still used the hot tub. Was the perfect size for the 3 of us. Kitchen had everything we needed and the coffee bar was well stocked! Perfect location for OU’s mom’s weekend with my girls.

Spacious, peaceful setting for a family gathering. Clean and comfortable with a well-stocked kitchen. Close to Old Man’s Cave and the wonderful beauty of the State Park. We would enjoy returning to this property again.

Located close to hocking hills state park, coffee shops, winery, brewery and restaurants. Perfect for a few days of hiking at hocking hills. I would stay here again and recommend to others

Brookside cottage was a magical experience in terms of its location. The creek the water running the woods. It’s just spectacular. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was clean. You had everything that you needed. Location was quite peaceful. It was everything that we wanted. I spent a mom’s weekend there with my daughter from Ohio University, and we also enjoyed the hot tub despite the rain.

Caleb‘s place was a beautiful retreat. The peaceful backyard watching the animals play on the hill was a bonus. The kitchen was stocked with spices and a few snacks. The king bed was exceptionally comfortable. He had plenty of extra blankets. Caleb was very responsive, friendly, and accommodating to our requests. It’s close to Hocking Hill State Park and restaurants, wineries, distilleries, and grocery.

Stayed here two years in a row for OU mom’s weekend! Perfect space for kids to hang in basement, while moms can sleep in bedrooms. Outdoor space looks so inviting, but it’s been too cold for us to enjoy it. If you’re looking for a place to host your daughter & her friends- this is it!! It’s not on campus, but that’s also what our girls wanted- to get away! Just a short drive to campus (15 min) though if needed!

This was the perfect spot for our trip to Athens. Be careful on the country road once you get off the highway. It is winding with a few tight curves, but definitely a beautiful short drive. We really liked the porches that faced the woods and fields.

Very clean and comfortable place to stay - an easy 20 minute drive to OU and uptown Athens. Had everything we needed for a short stay.

Kelsey and Brian were excellent hosts. We had this place for 10 days and did not feel like our privacy was compromised. Very clean and tidy place and everything was labelled, they are very quick with their responses and the place for quite comfortable for my dad and brother. There is plenty of space to walk around and explore. Very good value for the price range would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed staying at the Water’s Edge. It was a perfect, peaceful resting spot during a busy OU graduation weekend. Deni’s place is really close to town, but it’s so peaceful that you’d think you were an hour away. Everything at the house is exactly as described and Deni was responsive and very helpful with directions. I really loved sitting on the porch stargazing, while listening to the peaceful sounds of the night - crickets, owls and the occasional bullfrog. It was simply delightful. We look forward to rebooking with Deni on our next trip to Athens!

Syd was so considerate as to meet us with an umbrella because it was raining when we arrived! She is truly a delight and a great host. Her space is homey and welcoming. We would love to stay again :)

My husband and I stayed at Idyll Reserve 5 (The North) for two nights in January and had a fabulous stay! 🌲❄️ The cabin was thoughtfully designed, tastefully decorated, and very spacious for the two of us (& could accommodate a small family easily). It had all the amenities you’d need for a cozy stay — spacious, fully-stocked kitchen (with coffee & espresso maker! ☕️), comfy couch, living room with large windows & beautiful views of the surrounding woods, walk-in double shower & soaking tub, and our personal favorites — the outdoor hot tub and sauna! Laura was extremely responsive and communication regarding check-in was the best I’ve had with an Airbnb host. We could have easily stayed several more days. Hocking Hills State Park is just a ~10 minute drive away (we did some gorgeous hiking to Ash Cave, Old Man’s Cave, and Cedar Falls all within a half day). We’re already planning our next trip back with our kids! 🥰

Beautiful setting. Just a few miles off the interstate but well worth it. Lots of birds, horses, hummingbirds. An enviable front porch with a great view. Comfortable beds. Loved the quiet . Would definitely stay again.

This was a very clean, cozy, and quiet place to stay when we visited Hocking Hills! The inside was newly done with cute decorations. The outdoor area is a nice place to hang out, and we caught and released many fish in the pond. A great choice and value for our getaway!

The location was great! The apartment was clean, spacious and met all of our needs..We will definetly be back, thank you!

What a wonderful retreat! I stayed by myself as a little momma get away and it was perfect. The Zucchini bread is as good as everyone says! The hot tub was wonderful! The hosts were extremely responsive whenever I needed anything and really helpful! There are even games and toys for kids/toddlers if that is what you’re doing. I of course was vacationing FROM the kids toys lol but I love that if we go back there are things for the kids. Be advised that this is a basement apartment so you’ll hear footsteps and sometimes muffled voices just like you would in any house. It didnt bother me at all! The views are spectacular and the property is just so peaceful. 10/10 would recommend for sure!!
