Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Athens

The home was very cozy and great for a private getaway. Proximity to the highway made getting to the National Forrest and the nearby towns very easy.

Great house and host! The kitchen is nicely stocked and the convenience of in home laundry was nice! Definitely recommend this home!

Tug is an amazing host! Friendly, informative about the history of the area and places of interest to visit. Also very responsive if you have any questions or issues. The house is beautiful, cozy and immaculate. We highly recommend staying here.

Cute little cottage by a small creek. There was a water bowl for my dog. As described, clean, and cute. I would stay again. Proximity to Hocking Hills State Park was a plus for us.

Sweet Peace Forest was a lovely spot for my wife and I to take our honeymoon. It was very quiet and allowed us some much needed rest and relaxation after the wedding festivities. We will definitely be returning as soon as possible.

Perfect place tucked away super comfortable

The house is beautiful- high ceilings, natural woodwork … really a beautiful example of rural Italianate. Large workable kitchen… we did light snacks after Saturday’s performance at Stuart’s Opera House and made Mother’s Day Breakfast the next morning. There was a large selection of pots and pans but I would recommend if there is a specific type of pan you need that you ask beforehand. Refrigerator is large and newer… plenty of space for drinks, snacks, dinner ingredients, etc. I did not notice an ice maker but there was a upopened bag of ice in freezer. There are dollar stores nearby and larger big box stores in Logan or Athens if you need something after you arrive. Mattresses were comfortable and the upstairs windows have room darkening shades. The driveway is a bit tight if you have a larger SUV but there is plenty of parking on the street if need be.

Jane and Mike ensured that the house was pristine and clean prior to our arrival! They were very communicative and made sure that they were there to greet us and check if we needed anything. Everything is clearly labeled with easy instructions and many recommendations for local places as well as activities to do on the property! It was an easy 15 minute trip to the OU campus! I highly recommend this house!

Great place to stay, quick drive or walk to uptown Athens and the place was clean and well equipped. I didn't get to try dinner at the downstairs restaurant, but my partner and I did get some deserts there which were excellent. The restaurant was closed by 8:30 so there were no issues with noise.

It's a clean and cozy and has a peaceful neighborhood. Enjoyed my stay.

We really enjoyed staying at Greg and Jana’s place. It was the perfect location by OU - we walked to campus and it was about 10-15 minutes away. The house was comfortable and exactly what we needed for two people. We will definitely stay again when visiting our daughter!

Syd was so considerate as to meet us with an umbrella because it was raining when we arrived! She is truly a delight and a great host. Her space is homey and welcoming. We would love to stay again :)

I would highly recommend this to anyone! This place was phenomenal and quiet and peaceful. Christine and Matt went beyond what anyone would expect. A lot of extra’s that you would not expect, like smores for the fire out back, snacks and drinks, a cheesecake, tooth paste, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Extremely clean, extra blankets, pillows, robes, many towels, this place is extra clean, quiet. There is a hot tub, and a fire pit for the relaxing evenings. We will return without hesitation. Thank you Matt and Christine you two are the best, and very appreciated more than you know. Thank you 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!!

Jenny responded immediately to any questions and the stay was just as advertised. Very cute location and squeaky clean. Thank you and will look forward to staying again when the next horse show happens in the fall!

Very cute place at a good location in a nice city

Overall a great stay. Area was peaceful and the river overlook was beautiful. Checkin/checkout was pretty easy. Only downsides was the bathroom - 1.5ba for 10 people required some coordination!

Katie’s place was absolutely wonderful! We’ve actually never felt more at home in an Airbnb. It was very clean, safe and decorated beautifully. The location was also very central and walkable to everything downtown. If we’re ever in town again, we would absolutely stay here again. Thank you so much again, Katie!

What a great place - super convenient to Ohio University and Uptown Athens. Five of us stayed comfortably, we enjoyed watching TV in the living room and playing games at the dining room table. We were Uptown in less than 5 minutes. We also loved the use of the garage.

Ashley's place was perfect for celebrating our son's graduation from OU. We were a group of five adults who slept comfortably and enjoyed the kitchen and living room space. We also appreciated the two parking spaces out back. Another bonus was its location! We walked into town and campus several times. We even avoided the traffic and walked to the commencement ceremony. Highly recommend!

The apartment was spacious, very clean, and had extra towels and blankets. Angie gave very clear instructions, was friendly, and super responsive on all communication.

The house is in the middle of Athens, Ohio, a significant college town, and its location in proximity to Ohio U is phenomenal. We've stayed here several times and always felt lucky to have such a well-appointed home that is walkable to most of campus and Court Street. Ashley is an excellent host and the house is clean and updated on both levels.

We've stayed here many times. It's our go to place when we are in Athens

The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities I could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The loft was quit and had a restaurant located on sight. I would definitely recommend and will stay again soon.
