Peaceful retreat with lots of room

The house is well thought out. Really liked having the huge kitchen, large bathrooms and 3 king beds. We enjoyed grilling out and listening to the sounds of nature. Close to Athens for restaurants etc.

The house is beautifully located not far from town and convenience. We stayed five nights and it was beautiful. We went to town and bought groceries. There’s a grill for cooking out and all the accommodations to make beautiful meals. We enjoyed the campfire and the hot tub . The house was very clean and neat and well maintained. We are able to sit back and relax and enjoy our time. I would highly recommend this place.!

Athens Nature Cabin

Great cabin near Athens. Enjoyed the hills, sounds of nature and local hiking. Able to get to Ohio Heritage graduation ceremonies within 15 minutes. Cabin had many items available for our use. Plenty of kitchen towels! Enjoyed the front porch in morning and evening. Back patio was great for corn hole game. Hot tub was wonderful. House design is perfect for privacy even with three couples. Hosts were terrific.

Friends weekend

We had a great time with friends visiting OU and watching the football game. The house is large, and has brand new with nice fixtures / trim. The host was quick to respond and easy to work with. It was our second time there, and I would definitely stay again in the future.

Absolutely Incredible Stay!

We needed a place to stay near the university not in the thick of things. This home was perfection! A reasonable drive (about 15 minutes) to where we needed to go at O.U. The space itself is extremely well thought out. From the outside the home looks mid/small, but the way everything was set up made maximal use of an interior that is actually huge! The main living room/kitchen area is very nicely decorated and has extra thoughtful touches EVERYWHERE. Extra blankets for the couches, coasters if you are going to put drinks anywhere, furniture that seems like it would be stain proof if there was a spill, etc... The kitchen has pretty much everything you need whether you want to cook inside, grill outside, or if ordering something for pick up. Everything you need to clean up after the meal is there too. Even if we forgot to bring something, the kitchen seemed to have many utensils and basics already stocked. Beds/rooms are all super comfortable, each with their own TV (and DirecTV). If you have extra folks with you, everyone can watch what they want. Bathrooms were both great, again with liquid hand soap, shampoo/conditioner/body wash and plenty of towels, ice laundry bins to drop used towels in at the end of your stay. I'm a Virtual Reality nerd, and one of my favorite things is to explore virtual homes in VRChat. This home felt like it was that brought to life: PERFECT!!! Thanks to the Bush family for the wonderful space!

Windy 9 Rides

We loved our stay here. The house was perfect for 3 couples with the rooms having 3 king size beds. That you don't find often. There was plenty of room to park the trucks and trailers that we hauled the Harleys in. Very quiet and peaceful location. Pictures lead me to believe this home was much smaller than it actually is. We would recommend and would defiantly book again.

Unique country home

We very much enjoyed our 3 day stay in this beautiful home while visiting our grandson at Ohio University. There was plenty of space for 3 adult couples, nice porch overlooking a pond, safe walking trails, an inviting hot tub, and much more. Our Vrbo host George was very accommodating throughout our stay.

Father's Day Memories

What a great place to create family memories. We were in town for a family enduro and to look at OU. This house met all of our needs and more. We enjoyed hours of fishing, late night hot tubbing, grilling, friendly games of cornhole/basketball, and watching the deer frolic in the field. George was great at communication before and during our stay. As a mom, the cleanliness was superb, and all the kitchen supplies were provided to make a nice family meal. We will be back!
