Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Athens County

I would definitely stay here again. This was by far the cleanest and one of the nicest rentals I have stayed in Athens. Loved this property.

Spacious house! Lots of seating in living room. Well-equipped kitchen. Large deck with grill. Remote location, less than 15 minutes into town. Less than 5 minutes to walking trails around the lake. Greatly enjoyed our stay!

My brothers and I were in the area over Memorial weekend on our motorcycles to ride The Windy Nine motorcycle roads. This location was perfect, just outside of Athens but not too far. Quaint little cabin in the woods the also offered cover for our bikes to keep them from collecting morning dew. This small cottage offered everything we needed but bot too fancy. The only caution is finding the driveway on the initial arrival can be a bit tricky especially on motorcycles as the winding road that leads to the cottage is not too U-turn friendly for motorcycles. Overall, awesome place and we will be back!

We stayed here for our son's graduation from OU. The house was clean and well stocked, including spring water and coffee/creamers available. It was a quick ride back to campus. Overall, we were very satisfied with the experience.

Chad was an awesome host! The room was great, my girlfriend and I loved the peacefulness of the place. However, I had a flat tire twice and Chad went above and beyond in his efforts for fixing my tire and we really appreciate you for helping us get home. That was so generous so thank you so much. We will definitely be staying here just based on hospitality alone. We appreciate you Chad!

John was proactive and helpful with instructions. He thought of little things to make our stay enjoyable

Sallie and Glenn's space was welcoming, a quick drive into town, and beautifully decorated. They were very proactive and thoughtful reaching out, we would absolutely stay in their beautiful home again.

Great stay at the Bobcat Bungalow. Perfect location for visiting Ohio University. House was very well organized. Loved the little extras like having cream in the refrigerator and yoga mats and games in the closet. Kay has really thought of every detail.

We had a wonderful time at Gretchen’s place in Athens! It was private, comfortable, and beautiful inside and outside. We loved the natural light and the amazing wraparound porch. Highly recommend!

Cindy has an amazing place to stay that was easily accessible for my family. Although we had a-lot of running around for my son’s graduation, it was nice to have a place to go back to rest up. Sorry we didn’t have time to meet face to face, but Cindy answered any emails promptly. We definitely recommend Cindy’s place to our friends that have children at Ohio U and want a close place to stay in the future. If we ever plan a trip back, we w look yo book again. Thanks again Cindy!

Karen was helpful with all of our needs it was a pleasure staying at her place looking forward to staying again

We loved our time here! We enjoyed walking the beautiful property, seeing all of the flowers and gardens Natalie is growing, sitting by the pond and visiting the animals. We look forward to coming back again!

Hosts Brenda and Deborah were extremely warm, welcoming, and flexible! We were on a short trip for a graduation at Ohio University, about 12 minutes away. Due to delayed flights and 1.5 hour drive from Columbus Airport, we didn't arrive until 10:30pm, and Deb was waiting on the porch to greet us and get us settled. Very much appreciated! Communication was great, including directions (by phone) re: the country roads in the dark. The space is large, as described and seen in photos, sort of a "basement apartment" in a gorgeous area, very peaceful. The place and hosts are down-to-earth, as we had hoped, making our stay lovely and enjoyable. 😊 Thank you!

What an amazing stay! Rick was a fantastic host, with clear and helpful communication before our arrival, especially on how to find the cabin. The cabin itself was beautiful, super cozy, and spotless. It had everything we needed: a fireplace, hot tub, comfy bed, and even a covered porch so we could enjoy the outdoors in the rain. We had a wonderful time here and would definitely stay again if we're back in the area. Highly recommended!

Sarah went above and beyond to meet our needs and wants. The place is absolutely amazing. We had the best time. Relaxation was the best. This gem is so secluded. Best place to get away and unplug. We will definitely be back at some point. Would love to visit this secluded gem in the fall.

I’m don’t usually write reviews, but we had such an exceptional experience that I felt compelled to share. This serene cozy little cabin has unexpected personal touches everywhere you look such as the homemade jarred tea, fresh cut flowers from their garden, art deco wine glasses, a hand written personal welcome note, a curated reading selection that alone makes me want to rebook just to come back. I loved visiting their chicken coop, bee hives, and looking at all of the plants and flowers in their garden. We visited on our 30th wedding anniversary. It was the perfect get away. Thank you! We will be back.

Really cute place, lot of care went into to making it feel homey. Lots of games and activities to do in the property. It was clean, and quaint!! Really enjoyed our time, would stay here again!

This was the perfect escape. The trails around the property were beautiful. The place was equipped with everything you need. The communication was great. Absolutely looking forward to coming back again.

Peaceful cabin with beautiful surroundings. Loved the cabin’s artistic flair. The host, Evan, was super responsive and immediately took care of a minor issue with the sink. It was fun getting to know more of the owner’s story and his projects. There are other structures on the grounds that show their artwork. The view from the porch was awesome - a little pond with frog and bird sounds. The bed was very comfortable and it was totally quiet. The kitchenette had all the basics. Very enjoyable stay!

This was our second time staying at Gary's place. The cabin has everything you could need and more. The hot tub is a great addition after a long day. It is extremely convenient to OU. We would recommend this place to anyone staying in the area. We will certainly come again.

Such a cozy & beautiful cabin, perfect for getting away from everything for awhile. A true unplug. Our fire by the pond was so peaceful. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. Would definitely come again!
