About this property

Scenic Setting Just 8 Minutes From Athens

Pleasant Hill Retreat is a clean, comfortable, scenic two bedroom apartment/getaway; 1.5 baths, sleeps four adults and two youth very well. Children are welcome and with pet approval, a $35 per-pet fee per-night is charged. Please note that for guests beyond two there is an additional fee which VRBO may not display unless you click "View Details" below the rate total.

Just minutes to O.U., shopping and dining. A spacious living room overlooks a private lake as do two bedrooms and decks. There is a fully equipped eat-in kitchen w/coffee and the apartment wonderfully accommodates travelers, explorers and small families. While the laundry room is available to guests, it is also accessible to the owners with a lockable door ensuring privacy.

This place is a great hub for activities related to Ohio University, the micro breweries and restaurants of Athens, hiking trails, Strouds Run State Park, lakes, boat rentals, picnic areas, and the O.U. golf course. A 50 minute drive will take you into the heart of the Hocking Hills. Although the lake view is only a borrowed one, it does offer an amazing vista and wildlife abounds.

Retreat near the university
This was a wonderful home away from home in a beautiful natural setting that offered the feel of a retreat while being just a short ten minute drive too the center of the OU campus. Attentive and responsive hosts who also respect privacy, superb laundry facilities, wonderful view. Recommend without reservation!

Nive with caveat
Th property is nice. The apartment is very cozy and clean. The property is pretty. We have zero complaints about the comfort of the property. What isn't clear in the listing is that what you are renting is an apartment in the lower level of the pictured house which is also the owner's home. So while the house is comfortable, it isnt private. Had this been clear, we probably wouldn't have chosen to stay there with three rambunctious children. While the owner never complained, we were never the less constantly on guard to make sure the kids didn't make too much noise. The owners were pleasant to deal with and even cut us a break on the extra fees for having the kids. This would probably be a good place for a few adults that just need a clean place that is close to Athens.

Terrific OU Vacation spot
This is our third time staying here. It's a fantastic spot, close enough to OU, wineries, hiking and shopping. A lovely well appointed place that has fantastic views. Highly recommend!

Peaceful Haven
The apartment/cabin has the most peaceful surroundings and is just minutes away from Ohio University. The owners thought of just about anything you could need during your stay and it was very clean. You can't beat the view.

About the host

Hosted by Carrie and Matt Love

Host profile image
After working for more than a decade in Latin America we moved to Athens to work as filmmakers at Ohio University. We enjoy traveling, trying new foods and meeting new people. Just as we have been warmly welcomed wherever we go, you are welcome to stay as our guests. We are sure you will enjoy the calm, comfort and beauty that our place offers you.

Why they chose this property

We love the beauty of southeastern Ohio as well as the diversity of culture and richness of the arts that Ohio University brings to the area. As filmmakers, we especially love the historic Athena Cinema located in downtown Athens and the Oscar qualifying Athens International Film and Video Festival (AIFVF) that takes place each April. No matter what your interest, there is something here for you.

What makes this property unique

We rented in the Athens area for 4 years before finding this perfect house! It was built by an architecture professor at Ohio, University who worked hard to create a home for his family that was beautiful and unique. You will enjoy the privacy and beauty of nature while still being only 8 minutes to from dining and city recreation.
