Family-friendly holiday rentals in Athens County

We loved it! it was perfectly located and spacious enough for us to be comfortable!

What a great place! Plenty of space, comfortable beds, and all the amenties you need for a short stay. I loved being able to walk into town for a meal or beverage. I also enjoyed sitting on the front porch.

Super cozy and clean cabin. Such a good location for a getaway for family or friends.

Overall everything was great and as stated. No problems getting in once we found the cabin. Google maps took us to the wrong place so we had to use Apple Maps - that’s not 1st choices fault. Our stay, although short, was really good - the bed was awful but we were grateful to have a bed. Also - no hair dryer, but that was my expectation because it’s listed as an air bnb. Again - not a big deal. We will go back - hopefully for a longer stay

It has a good location and comfortable beds. Very Clean and well-organized, and Everything is functional. It was a pleasant stay for us, and I would recommend it.

We wanted to find a place that wasn’t too far from home but would still be a little escape to take our boys to every year. This was our second year staying at this house. We could probably go later in the summer when it’s warmer and have more to do, but we like to go in the spring time. It’s secluded but not far from town or stores. Very private. Loved the paddle boat! We look forward to staying again next year!

We absolutely love staying here!!! It’s close to family which is always a plus! The coziness of the house is always welcoming and the house provides everything you may need. If not, there are a few stores around you can pick up a few things. Company was easy to work with and always very friendly every time I spoke to them. As long as it’s available, this will be our go to place on Nelsonville for visiting family!!

A very nice and peaceful property to stay at and the company was very easy to work with when it came to checking in and learning about local attractions and restaurants. Even with the rain we were able to take in a decent bit of nature. Definitely will be going back.

What a beautiful spot! If you’re looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and pristine spot near Ohio U and Hocking Hills, this is a MUST book. Emily was extremely accommodating with early check in and late check out so we could soak up as much quiet time as possible. The deck is a perfect morning coffee spot with plenty of bird species visiting regularly. A comfortable bed, a chef inspired kitchen, and great local recommendations rounds out a perfect reservation. After a long day hiking in Hocking or just exploring Athens (which is super eclectic and really fun!) Emily’s home is the perfect place to rest and unwind. I will definitely be booking again. Thank you for everything!

Love this cabin! Our second stay here. Comfortable and roomy in a beautiful setting. We especially enjoy the electric fireplace, very cozy! 1st Choice Cabin Rentals hosts are helpful and quick to respond. Will definitely try to book this Airbnb next time.

amazing cabin, would definitely stay here again when we come back!

I hate to give a such a glowing review because I don’t want to generate more competition to rent it in the future, but this venue was wonderful. We stayed this location for OU Mom’s Weekend & it was a fantastic choice! It was the perfect place to relax, connect and unwind when we weren’t in Athens. It had absolutely everything we could have wanted. It was a convenient Uber ride away & perfect for a group of moms. If you want a sweet place tucked away from the hustle with some cool country amenities, then this is the rental for you. It looks like they’re in the process of making improvements, but honestly the imperfections were part of its charm. Highly recommended!

The place was very spacious and very clean! This home was built in the late 1800s so it was neat to stay in an old, historical home. This place is pet friendly and worked out well for our dog. Also very close to Hocking Hills which is what we needed.

This was such a cute cabin for a couple days! When we walked in we immediately noticed how clean everything was. You could smell how clean it was and you could see vacuum lines in the carpet which was nice. Checking in & out was super easy too. We loved the card games that were available. Hot tub and fire pit was nice. Couches were comfy. We loved sitting outside on the porch, it was super calm and quiet. The only things were that the people before didn’t clean the dishes well, and the string lights above the hot tub didn’t work - but neither was a big deal. Overall, we loved it here and would definitely stay in this specific cabin again - but also stay with this company again!

Convenient location for our family get together in nearby Vincent. Very peaceful setting. Make sure you check-in while it is light out, as it is hard to find in the dark (we drove by it a few times).

Fantastic property in the most beautiful location. Even though the weather did not cooperate we really enjoyed sitting on the deck looking at the rolling hills and bucolic scenery. Celeste really enhanced the experience with very good information on the location with things to do and places to visit. We celebrated our sons graduation during the weekend and the stay just enhanced the whole experience. Would happily book the same property for weekends in the future and would love to get use of the fire pit . I can really recommend this property

Great location and very peaceful. The pool and hot tub were perfect. The pond is stocked. The keys would not work on any of the doors so a staff member came out and helped us get in. I would recommended sealing the deck since there are a lot of paint chips. We noticed there was a lot of dog hair under the sofas(we didn't have a dog).

We really enjoyed our stay here! The pool and hot tub were a huge bonus. The drive to most main hikes was between 25-30 minutes, so the location was ideal. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful weekend stay with 4 adults (2 couples), 3 tweens and 1 senior. Everyone had plenty of space and the cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Check in/out is at another location about 15min away for the key, and there’s a nice little shop there too. Communication was easy to follow. Pool and hot tub were great activities, big private yard to run around and had a great bonfire for s’mores. We’re hoping to make this an annual family tradition!

Overall, this place was GREAT! There was plenty of space, and it was very peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. We stayed as a group of 7 (my wife, our 3 kids, and 2 adult friends), and it never felt crowded. Pros: Spacious, private, a nice pond nearby, great pool and hot tub, and a comfortable patio area to hang out. Cons: The beds were a bit loud and on the less comfortable side—not a deal breaker, but worth noting. Also, the couch and chair were broken when we arrived. They probably just need an update, though they were still usable and fairly comfortable. Despite a few minor things, the overall experience was very positive. We'd definitely stay here again!

I have rented many modest cabins in Hocking Hills, and Fullbrooks stands out—everything we needed it to be. Great: well-appointed kitchen (sharp knives, sugar, salt/pepper); several outdoor spaces; super clean (including hot tub); clear stargazing (Milky Way); private (not secluded); comfy furniture throughout; extra towels, TP, paper towels, dish/hand soap; shocking lack of bugs*; dog-friendly (our big pup relished the free range—within easy view). Okay: 20-30 min drive to most HH attractions; patchy media (could connect phones to wifi, but even after resetting the router, couldn’t connect to Netflix/cast to TV from our phones); off-site check in/out added ~15 min x2 to our drive. Tips: Bring back-up matches for a fire and your own napkins. To those mindful of plastics/PFAS, the kitchen has only scratched up nonstick cookware; bring your own pot and pan, as well as a container to collect recyclables to take home. *1st Choice sprays for bugs, including bees. Poor pollinators. ☹
