This was a great find for our family! My husband and I took the master bedroom and bath which was at one end of the house and gave the other 4 bedrooms and bath at the other end of the house to our daughter and family. We each had our own space but also lots of time together in the main part of the house and in the pool and around the fire! My grandson said it best when he said we should come here every summer! The house was clean, comfortable and welcoming and we really enjoyed our time there.

This was our 4th year staying here! We have never been disappointed . Its spacious, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool everyday , as well as the basket of snacks our host left for us! The area is beautiful and quiet. The grandkids loved seeing the lightening bugs while chilling on the porch in the evening! Thank you again

If I could give this more stars for cleanliness I would! Cleanliness when I am staying away from home is a very important factor for me. The host was very informative; I did not have to have a single interaction with them due to the fact that they relayed all of the information for the stay and there were no issues. I would highly recommend this house if you needed a place to stay while visiting OU.

Amazing Family Vacation

We had a very comfortable stay. This place had everything to keep us occupied when it was raining and the pool was so welcoming when it was not. Close enough to all different types of hiking and plenty of places to check out in different towns nearby.

Nice and quiet get away

Our family really enjoyed our experience here. We wanted to get away from the bisy city and with this booking, we certainly did. The pool was nice sized and really helped make the heat wave feel less intense.

Great for visits to Athens area

Enjoyed the home for our second visit. Five bedrooms proved ideal for our family. Great kitchen and family areas for hanging out and sharing a meal. Not too far from Athens. A much better experience than any hotel.
