Beautiful home on an amazing property located in an incredibly peaceful setting. Absolutely loved sitting on the beautiful covered porch overlooking the scenic pond and countryside. The host was great to work with and provided clear instructions for us to enjoy our visit. The home is as pictured. Also very well-appointed with all the conveniences such as; just the right shelves and hooks, blankets, fans, and plenty of clean linens designated for hot tub & bathrooms. We appreciated the Instructions posted to support enjoying the space and all that was offered. Highly recommend!

The place was spacious, and relaxing! The kitchen was great. The hot tub was fun. The hosts readily agreed to us relocating our 4 year old grandchild’s birthday party to the house if we had been rained out of Strouds Run. We did not end up needing to, but it was nice to have that as an option. And There was room to park 3 cars side by side. Plus plenty more parking had we needed it.

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!

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.
