Perfect location to Ohio Univesity
Our Daughter is attending OU and we have stayed in a couple Vrbo locations and will definitely be adding this one to our list. Just 15 minutes from campus and an easy drive. The guest house is quaint, comfy and wonderful. The bonus is that our dogs can join us. They have a fenced in paddock/meadow area for the dogs to run. We will be back!!

Unexpected but wonderful
I didn’t read the description clearly enough and was surprised that we were staying on someone else’s property, where their primary home seems to be located. After we settled in, we were able to relax and weren’t bothered by the shared space, especially since we didn’t see anyone all weekend. The house was super cute and with the exception of a few stink bugs in the shower, very clean! Unfortunately, we are used to stink bugs so that didn’t bother us at all. The beds and sheets were very comfortable and the view was relaxing! I think my favorite part was the greenhouse! Thanks so much for everything! Kelly

Very nice Athens area base camp
We had a wonderful stay here. It was a great base camp for exploring the hiking and biking in the area as well as the city of Athens. Property was nice, clean, and quiet. The farm cats were a hoot, especially Tux, very friendly. Hope to stay here again some day when we are back in town.

Excellent Getaway Spot for Two!
Loved our stay in this little gem of a guest house! Owners were on site but were careful to provide privacy if desired. Kitchen was perfect for making meals and baking. And the cat cuddles were an extra and welcome addition (should charge extra for feline therapy). The dog run was a welcome amenity. Property was exactly as pictured and did not disappoint. Owners truly care about comfort and safety of patrons and were very responsive.

Weekend visit with college daughter
Beautiful home on a wonderful piece of property. Both Greg and Marrianne were wonderful hosts. I thought it would be weird being so close but it wasn't. Check-in and out process was very easy and communication was a 5+. We have already talked about going back. Took our 2 dogs and they enjoyed it too. The fenced in meadow was a nice place for them to run. We are in a vegan home so seeing all the plant based items in the home was an added plus! Thanks G&M for a lovely weekend!
