The cabin was really nice and less than a 10 minute drive from court street. Would definitely stay there again.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The kitchen is fully stocked, the beds are comfortable and the house has so much space. We enjoyed the beauty of our surroundings, especially the night sky while relaxing in the hot tub. The host provided clear information for check in and check out procedures. Would definitely stay at the rental again!

It was a pleasure hosting you and your family Jason ! Welcome again !
We felt the hot tub didn’t get as hot and bubbly as we like. There was a Tupperware container of leftovers in the fridge when we arrived. We couldn’t get the French doors to screened in porch to lock completely. Otherwise, it was a beautiful house in a beautiful setting. I loved being surrounded by blooming dogwood trees! Used the grill, stove, oven and new firepit and all worked great.

Thank you for your feedback. We will certainly look into the hot tub temperature to ensure it’s set appropriately for future guests.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the leftovers in the fridge. We work with a professional cleaning company, and we will be addressing this issue with them to ensure it does not happen again.
Regarding the French door, it does lock a bit differently. We truly wish we had been able to assist you with this during your stay, and we’re sorry that this information wasn’t shared prior to your check-in. To improve the experience for future guests, we will be creating a short video demonstrating how to properly lock it.
Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention, we appreciate it and hope to have the opportunity to host you again.
This was the best rental property we have stayed at in Athens, Ohio. As bobcat alumns, we love coming back to visit and this house surpassed all of our needs
