Manse house with antiques

For your information. 1st the price quoted by VRBO was NOT the price when booked, beyond the cleaning and taxes the price raised by $50. I called the rental company about this and they said it ranges day to day and they could do nothing about it.😕 Also you must pick up and drop off the key, not terrible but a bit of an inconvenience. The house itself was beautiful filled with antiques and very convenient to town. The church next door has beautiful singing bells which do not chime at night. How do they do that? Negatives : The pillows were hugely fat. I ended up sleeping without one. It was cold and if you ran both extra heaters upstairs the fuse blew. So one of us slept with out the extra heat. Finally if you are traveling alone or a group of females, Nelsonville is economically depressed. Several boarded up houses around the corner.. With that said our 30 year old daughter went running every morning and had no trouble. It is close to Hocking Hills state park and Wayne National Forest.both beautiful to enjoy.

Hi Eve, Thank you for choosing the Manse Inn for your trip to Hocking Hills! I apologize to hear there was a confusion with the pricing. There are certain taxes that are applied which add to the cost of the nightly rate. However, these taxes and the final price are all shown and agreed upon prior to booking through VRBO. I'm glad to hear you and you your other guests were able to explore and enjoy Nelsonville! We appreciate your feedback about Manse Inn and are always aiming to improve our property for all guests. We hope you'll stay with us again in the future.
