Our stay at Dorr Run was for my daughter’s college graduation from Ohio University. Property was 20 minutes from campus! It was a fabulous stay. Our host Jolinda could not have more accommodating and quick to respond! Such a beautiful setting! The house had everything we could need! We will definitely be recommending this retreat! Thanks so much to a great host!

This property was perfect for our Thanksgiving family meet up, mid point between Virginia and Illinois. Located in the Wayne National Forest and near the outdoor areas of Hocking Hills, there were lots of outdoor areas to explore. The downtown area of Nelsonville has a cute town square which was closed due to the holiday but looked like a fun area to explore. The house had plenty of bedrooms and a big kitchen for all the food prep. We took advantage of the hot tub and fire pit which was a nice addition.

Great stay! As listed. Group of 5. Plenty of space. Loved the porches, hot tub & the feel of being in nature. Lights around hot tub would be a benefit as it’s very dark. Would definitely recommend the property to others & would book again for next girls trip.

The house was perfect for our family of 5. There was plenty of room for each child to have their own space. The outdoor space was beautiful and the kids especially loved the hot tub and the pond. We would definitely return for another stay.
