My family and I loved our stay at this home in Athens! The kids loved exploring the pod, we enjoyed bbqs on the porch and the hot tub at night. The house is beautiful inside and exceeded our expectations! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The property was fantastic & we all had a relaxing weekend. The house is amazing with incredible woodwork & all of the amenities you’d ever need. The location is remote enough to get some peace & quiet but close enough to OU to enjoy events going on there too. The hosts were great & we would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a stay in the Athens area!

Awesome property within 15 mins of Athens!

Our group of 4 loved our stay. Everything was as expected and the pictures don't do it justice as place is gorgeous inside and the space is very large to spread out. The property is well stocked and the owners have thought of everything. Communication was excellent prior to check-in and throughout stay. Highly recommend!

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 was as described, kitchen was furnished well with dishes, cups, pots and pans and the bedding was high quality along with the towels. The outside grill needed cleaned and better knobs and as a motorcycle rider would have LOVED to see a blacktopped driveway.

This home is a favorite location for us when we visit Athens. It is spacious, very clean, and so comfortable! Much thought has been put into making this guest house a relaxing place to enjoy a getaway near Athens. The hot tub is a treat. The hosts provide a well stocked (and spacious) kitchen. Little touches like soft afghans and candles make the space cozy. The night sky here is beautiful and there is a porch to enjoy for stargazing or just relaxing with a drink or having a picnic supper. This home has it all!

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.!
