The Starbrick Bungalow was unfortunately not clean upon our arrival. To their credit, management came asap and cleaned and offered to refund the cleaning fee. Once we settled in we enjoyed the home.
Was confused about the listing. Said to be pet friendly but in the house rules it said no pets. Boarded our dog for the weekend but during check in it asked how many pets I would be bringing. Confused. Really enjoyed the place. Fit our needs perfectly clean

This is our second time to stay at this property. We always enjoy it and it’s close to family which is why we rent instead of getting a hotel. We will be back next year!

Very pleasant and cozy stay. Liked the porches and deck availability along with hot tub access.
The switch locations and no steps into hot tub were the only negatives.

So glad you enjoyed your stay at our Starbrick Bungalow in Nelsonville, Ohio! We appreciate your feedback about the hot tub steps. We have added some since your stay! Hope you come back to visit.
It was not a bad place, homely little town and nice house, but the ac went out and made the last two or three days a little rough. Overall, we enjoyed it

Thank you for choosing to stay at the Starbrick Bungalow while you visited the Nelsonville area. We are glad you were satisfied with our services. Hope you come back to visit us!
We wanted to experience Hocking Hills and got the pleasure of also getting to know Nelsonville. It was a quick drive to lots of beautiful sites and hiking. The house was clean, well appointed, easy to travel to and from, and spacious for the 2 of us. Down side was being on the backside of the Main Street going through town, but the privacy fence blocked out some of the intrusion.

Location is great and hosts were easy to communicate with. You do have to check in at a local store and is clearly stated in the check in instructions. The house was hard to find at night because the front lights were not on. Very close to Athens and Hocking Hills with a lot to do around it.

This rental is cozy & cute. Beds are comfortable. Spacious place for my daughter & I. The hot tub was great to use after hiking all day (although that cover needs replaced!) I liked having a kitchen so we could cook instead of eating out all week, although they didn’t have any pots and only salt & pepper for cooking. The place is about half hour to most trails, which I didn’t mind considering the price & how nice the place was. Parking was easy for just our 1 vehicle in the driveway.

Kristen, thank you for choosing our Starbrick Bungalow for your trip to the Hocking Hills area and for leaving a review!
We're happy to hear that you found the space comfortable and took advantage of the kitchen and the location.
Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us, and we hope to see you again in the future!
This cute litle house has been remodeled and is cute and cozy. Owner did a great job in decorating. Some minor things need to be taken care of like a toilet that needs to be reseated because it rocks, need to replace a light bulb in bathroom and the yard could use a little work as it can be muddy if it rains. The neighboorhood is par for the course I think in Nelsonville. Overall it was a great stay and would stay their again.

House was very cute and clean. Only issue I found was check-in and out. If they would change locks to keypad locks it would eliminate the need to meet to pick up and return key. Did make it more difficult with arriving and departing out side of their normal hours.

Thank you for staying at our Starbrick Bungalow in Nelsonville, Ohio! We do have our guests check-in at our office location, which is only about 1 mile down the road from this rental. We like to meet our guests face-to-face & give them information on the local area -- we hope this lets our guests know that we are here to help throughout their stay (if for some reason needed). We appreciate your feedback & we are glad you enjoyed your stay.
It would be helpful if I was informed the check in was to take place inside the store as we were looking for the realty company.
It would also be helpful if there was a hook or two in the bathroom. It would also be extremely helpful to have a step stool available for the hot tub and to know it was placed on gravel. Overall a cute place to stay but a bit inconvenient in the things mentioned above.
