May 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Large house, convenient part of town We had an abbreviated stay due to unforeseen circumstances, but our short stay at the 1850s house was fine. The kitchen and dining table could have been a bit cleaner, and many lightbulbs were out around the house, but overall it was a good stay. There are no kitchen staples for a VRBO (salt/pepper, coffee, cooking oil) so bring ALL supplies you may need. Kroger is close by as well.There is a nice laundry room and backyard area. There was only a chess game, but no other games or puzzles or even a deck of cards that I could find. We have stayed at VRBOs all over the country (and overseas), and this did surprise us.There is PLENTY of space to spread out since the house is large and the outdoor spaces are nice to spend time in as well. We were there for such a short amount of time, we did not use the showers, so I can't speak to the water pressure.The beds were pretty comfortable and the A/C and heat worked well. ##### Jill F.

As mentioned in previous reviews there is no hot tub. We were offered a free kayaking trip. The back yard was wonderful and relaxing. We enjoyed watching the birds at the feeders. The house was very clean. I do wish check in and check out could have been on site but it was only about 5 min away from the property. ##### Tara H.

The town is small. It is a beautiful home and I would love there in a minute. The home is right by the town square. The town is small. A few local restaurants are within one block. 2 of 3 were closed the weekend we were there. You’re 30 minutes away from Hocking Hills State Park. Beautiful park. We went tubing on the Hocking river and that was great. We were just minutes away from that. ##### Julie P.

The entire experience of staying with 1st Choice Properties was excellent. The check-in was clear and easy. When we arrived at the house, it was impeccably clean. This particular house is quite old (built in the 1850's), but the kitchen and all 3 bathrooms have been nicely updated. The interior design and decor are tasteful and modern. We encountered a small issue during our stay (we couldn't find the ironing board that was listed as being included). We contacted the management team and they addressed it promptly and to our complete satisfaction. I very highly recommend this house and 1st Choice Properties. We would definitely stay wtih them again! ##### Katie M.

This is a great house and we thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the bathrooms needs an update, but otherwise lovely. The town is a bit rough but the house is in the lovely historic district. When asked for the slightest leniency on check in and checkout, the management co was entirely inflexible… but, for a fee they could find their way to allow a late checkout. We were driving by 35 mins. before the checkin time and tried to pick up the key, but we’re turned away. I find that renting from individual owners is so much better than these management companies which are generally expensive and inflexible. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan W. Jul 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### Sisters weekend Check-in was quite a distance from the actual property. And while the inside of the house was lovely , the outside areas were not taken care of , the back patio was covered with weeds and not a inviting space for those who enjoy relaxing. Also a hot tub was listed in the amenities,and according to the manager there has never been one. The manager tried to make it right by comping us a kayak trip , but the river was closed because of unsafe levels. We enjoyed the house , it was comfortable and well cared for .and would stay again , next time we will bring our gardening tools and gloves , and pay it forward ! ##### Susan W.

Oct 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 1850 House This property was very clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. We came to Ohio to hike in the Hocking Hills area and each night it felt good to come back to this house to relax. It was about a 30 minute drive to Hocking Hills. Nelsonville was nice enough and though not a lot to do, the Rhapsody restaurant was outstanding and a hike uphill to see the Nelsonville Cross up close was well worth the effort. We went in October and if you like Halloween I will note that many yards were highly decorated for that. One small issue is that the thermostat could be turned up and would heat for a while but would always go back to 68° or lower which is a little chilly for me. One morning it was down to 62°. But perhaps there was some way to keep it at the set temperature though we couldn't figure it out. Also, there was no information binder as I have always found in other rentals so we had to call with questions. The check in and check out was easy although in another building in town but the people there were very nice. ##### Kathleen P. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger A.
