About this property

Fred - Cozy tiny home 7 miles from Ohio University

Cozy new tiny house with a little history in beautiful rural setting 6 minutes from Lake Snowden and an inflatable water park. The serene setting reveals natural beauty while maintaining the convenience of being just 10 miles from Ohio University Campus in Athens, Ohio. Athens Green Cab / 740-59-GREEN / Athens’ Only Green Cab Company will take care of all your shuttle needs.

The space
Welcome to Landis Lane Cabins! We hope you enjoy a little bit of Athens history when you stay with us! Our space is unique because it is named after our grandparents, Fred & Dorothy Landis. Fred and Dorothy both had families that originated in Athens County, Ohio dating as far back as the 1800's and still have family living here today. In our cabins you will find interesting pictures of their history along with small knick knacks that make you feel at home.

Family retreat

We rented three cabins for our family trip. All three were unique and perfect for each couple to have space or gather. Loved listening to the frogs over at the pond and deer was always close!

We loved staying here! Nestled in rolling farmland, quiet and peaceful, the tiny cabin was just what we needed for a short respite. We will plan to stay here the next time we are in Athens!

Perfect Little House

First Time in a Tiny Home!

We were quite impressed with our first stay in a tiny home! It was well supplied with what we needed, which, for the most part, was sleeping hours. If we were to make a few suggestions for comfort, we would recommend having a night stand on each side of the bed, and more hooks and shelving for storage, particularly in the bathroom. Also, hooks by the front door for coats, etc., would be a nice addition. We very much enjoyed our stay. We will be coming back. Thank you for your hospitality!

Amazing tiny home!

My daughter and I stayed for her orientation at Ohio University. The tiny home was super clean and cute. The house was close to campus and had everything you need. We unfortunately didn’t have much time to spend at the house so we are definitely hoping to stay again soon!

Our stay at Fred was very cozy! Unfortunately, the hot water heater is very small so we did run into the issue of running out of hot water- so keep your showers short!

Amazing Getaway!

This Tiny home is everything you will need while away from home! Why stay in a hotel when you could have your own tiny home! We loved everything about this tiny home! Privately located in the country. Clean, cozy and welcoming! We came for hiking and kayaking. Coming back to the tiny home after our daily adventure was so peaceful and relaxing! Love that we could have a bonfire at night! Perfect place for two! Book it! You won’t regret it!

Great getaway

This tiny house was clean, well stocked and had all the amenities you need. It’s in a beautiful and quiet area, not far from Athens. The only thing I didn’t like is there is no air unit in the bedroom, only the living room. For some, that may not be an issue, but as someone who can only sleep when the room is very cool, this was a problem. A fan that was in the house did help, but it would be optimal for the house to have a smaller air unit in the bedroom.

Nice little place

The property is clean and well-maintained inside and out and comfortable. I was a little surprised there wasn’t a small dishwasher as those seem pretty standard at the places I’ve stayed recently and give peace of mind that everything is sanitary instead of putting your faith in the previous guest. Not even a complaint, just an observation. Similarly, the television is almost comically small for the space. It didn’t bother us at all but maybe would be important to some. If I could improve one area it would be some sturdier furniture and additional surfaces. The nightstand was pretty wobbly, and a dresser or other surface to put things like watches and phones on would be appreciated. Same thing in the bathroom. Greatly appreciated the hooks but with such a tiny area around the sink I would have really liked a small stand to hold contact supplies and the like.
