Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Nelsonville

We had a great time and would def return trip there!

My brothers and I were in the area over Memorial weekend on our motorcycles to ride The Windy Nine motorcycle roads. This location was perfect, just outside of Athens but not too far. Quaint little cabin in the woods the also offered cover for our bikes to keep them from collecting morning dew. This small cottage offered everything we needed but bot too fancy. The only caution is finding the driveway on the initial arrival can be a bit tricky especially on motorcycles as the winding road that leads to the cottage is not too U-turn friendly for motorcycles. Overall, awesome place and we will be back!

We stayed here for our son's graduation from OU. The house was clean and well stocked, including spring water and coffee/creamers available. It was a quick ride back to campus. Overall, we were very satisfied with the experience.

The place matched the listing and was suitable for our one-night stay. The host was kind and communicative, which we really appreciated! Thank you Todd! 🙏🏼

Brookside cottage was a magical experience in terms of its location. The creek the water running the woods. It’s just spectacular. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was clean. You had everything that you needed. Location was quite peaceful. It was everything that we wanted. I spent a mom’s weekend there with my daughter from Ohio University, and we also enjoyed the hot tub despite the rain.

Kaitlyn’s place was a great weekend getaway for a big group of my friends. When we think of going back down to Athens, we will definitely look for this stay again!

This was a beautiful, modern cabin with great decks, fireplaces, hot tub and plenty of in-home activities for families. The hosts, John and Vicki, were very responsive and helpful. This property goes above and beyond with special touches to make you feel welcome and special. We would certainly staying here again!

Jane was a great host. She stopped by to welcome us and see if we needed anything and answered all of our questions. She even stopped by the next day with something that we had inquired about. The house was great, plenty of room for our group of 6. Great kitchen layout and supplied with everything we needed. Loved the outdoor seating and the mowed hiking trails. We would definitely stay here again.

What a wonderful retreat! I stayed by myself as a little momma get away and it was perfect. The Zucchini bread is as good as everyone says! The hot tub was wonderful! The hosts were extremely responsive whenever I needed anything and really helpful! There are even games and toys for kids/toddlers if that is what you’re doing. I of course was vacationing FROM the kids toys lol but I love that if we go back there are things for the kids. Be advised that this is a basement apartment so you’ll hear footsteps and sometimes muffled voices just like you would in any house. It didnt bother me at all! The views are spectacular and the property is just so peaceful. 10/10 would recommend for sure!!

Stayed several months due to work. Place was very clean, comfortable and had easy access to restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. Onsite parking with 2 spots was nice to have. It is a duplex so there is a flight of stairs to get to the unit. Nice fluffy towels, water always hot, easy to control temperature in the house as well. Well maintained yard and nice sitting area on front porch. Downtown Lancaster is a quick 10 min walk with plenty of restaurants. There is a pizza place 2 minutes away as well and old school corner drugstore across the street. 45 minute ride to OU and roughly 35 minutes to downtown Columbus. It a very nice location. My host was warm and welcoming and answered any questions I had. I would stay here again.

Wonderful host. Always quick to respond. Place was absolutely amazing! One night stay but will definitely be back for another stay. Peaceful atmosphere- got to see a family of deer wandering from afar! Thanks for the great communication.

Pleasantly surprised to find a nice size apartment with 2 bedrooms and a full kitchen. It was a handicap unit so the shower stall was small because of the seat but we managed to. The description of the place was taken from the cabins they rent which have a fire pit. I was looking forward to a camp fire but the apartment did not have one available. Sunrise over the mountains in the back, listening to owls calling to each other. We saw a couple deer in the meadow behind the apartment. Host communicated very well and quickly. I would trust them to stay in a y of their locations.

It was perfect for our stay for our hocking hills adventure! Would absolutely recommend.

Very helpful and a nice place to stay at!!! Everything was clean and accessible!! And the host was very responsive and kind. We would love to stay again!

My husband and I stayed at Idyll Reserve 5 (The North) for two nights in January and had a fabulous stay! 🌲❄️ The cabin was thoughtfully designed, tastefully decorated, and very spacious for the two of us (& could accommodate a small family easily). It had all the amenities you’d need for a cozy stay — spacious, fully-stocked kitchen (with coffee & espresso maker! ☕️), comfy couch, living room with large windows & beautiful views of the surrounding woods, walk-in double shower & soaking tub, and our personal favorites — the outdoor hot tub and sauna! Laura was extremely responsive and communication regarding check-in was the best I’ve had with an Airbnb host. We could have easily stayed several more days. Hocking Hills State Park is just a ~10 minute drive away (we did some gorgeous hiking to Ash Cave, Old Man’s Cave, and Cedar Falls all within a half day). We’re already planning our next trip back with our kids! 🥰

Nice, small, relaxing place with a pond. Close to Downtown McArthur. Easy checkin. Nice people. Will definitely stay again.

Thank you for the wonderful stay.

This property is exactly what we were looking for…secluded, private & breathtakingly beautiful. We spent our 4 days relaxing outside….we used the amazing pool, hot tub & cold plunge daily. We explored the wooded trails they have marked out. At night we built a fire & made s’mores. Prior to arriving I purchased add ons & Keith or Raya responded to all my questions quickly. They set up a couples massage & an in cabin chef…both were AMAZING. When we arrived, check in was easy peasy & Todd was delightful to chat with. Once settled in, anytime we needed anything we just sent a text to the office & had a reply ASAP. But the most important thing to me is that is was SUPER CLEAN. I am OCD about the places we stay & even though we have stayed at many “luxury” hotels & resorts…I have never been so impressed with the cleanliness as I was with The Observatory. It was by far better than expected, so peaceful & we felt right at home. We love it so much it will now be our yearly anniversary getaway❤️

Roger’s place was even better than the photos!! The view was absolutely stunning. We stayed for 2 nights & wished that we could have stayed another night or two. Loved the corn hole boards & hot tub! Plenty of towels and shampoo/conditioner/lotion! Roger even allowed us to check in an hour early since we arrived into the area earlier than expected. If you’re on the fence because of the price, do it! It’s so worth it!

Loved this spot. Close to all the great hiking spots, beautiful home, modern, yet fit right into the surroundings. Highly recommend!

This was a beautiful stay. My friend and I can to celebrate our engagements and we are excited to come back! Tranquil, isolated, but close enough to everything. The trails right outside the doors were a great start to our mornings and we loved ending our evenings by the bonfire.

We have stayed here twice and loved it both times. The house is secluded but still close enough to town. It’s very peaceful and comfortable. Having the pool is amazing.

Our family stayed at Villa Rock for a few nights, and it was fantastic. The shared living space and outdoor areas were perfect for hanging out together, and the bedrooms provided privacy when needed. The property was very peaceful and the trails were perfect for getting soaking in nature between trips into the park. We plan to stay here again the next time we are in the area.
