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.

Very nice home

We stayed at Hemlock Acre for our daughter's graduation. We were looking for a place that our whole family could stay. This was a very nice property, it actually seemed bigger and nicer to me than the pictures would have suggested. It has 5 good size bedrooms with a really nice master suite. It had a full size kitchen with a full size refrigerator and oven which isn't always the case. The kitchen was well appointed with many basics, such as foil, baggies and spices. The property was immaculate and easily can accomodate 6-10 people. It was also only about 15 minutes from the OU campus. We would certainly stay there again if we needed a place by OU..

Great family stay for OU event

Only a few minutes from OU, this space was perfect for our family of 8 attending OU graduation. Family meals were a breeze with everything we needed in the kitchen: pots, pans, plenty of dishes and silverware, and even the kitchen electrics we needed. This was our second stay and we enjoyed the home as much this time as we did last time.

We enjoyed our stay, we felt welcomed right when we walked in. I live in the country so "close to" was what I was expecting and familiar with, but some people may feel that the term "close to" might be too much driving. The kitchen had plenty of options for making most any meal you would want on a vacation. The area was quiet, but with neighbors in sight. We felt safe as four women vacationing. The beds were comfortable, plenty of pillows. Two TV areas with couches, but we mostly played cards and dominos...the large table was just what we needed. We had a great time and the view of the neighbors pond with the ducks was a added bonus.

Two families came down to visit their Bobcats and celebrate Homecoming at Ohio University. The home is spacious, clean, and comfortable. We had plenty of room for all of us to spend time together. Only 15 minutes from campus made this a convenient choice. Our host was responsive to questions and clear about check in and check out. Thanks for the hospitality!

Clean and Comfortabld

The home was exceptionally clean with many unlisted amenities. The beds were very comfortable, family all stated that they rested well. The grounds were very pleasant and immaculately manicured. We were looking forward to using the pool but it had been closed after we made our reservation which was the biggest disappointment. We did not have the password to enable us to access the cable and no quick way to contact the host. (We called home for assistance and the boys were able to see the OSU game.) We would definitely book the home again and would recommend the home to any family.

Family weekend!

We found a great place for a family weekend! The house was a 5 star on cleanliness and the host was very thoughtful in providing many amenities that made this a perfect place to be with many activities to do in the surrounding area. The pool provided many hours of family fun and relaxation. All in all, this family of 9 has decided we will definitely visit again! Many thanks to our host!

Wonderful property

We stayed here for a family wedding and it was the perfect size for our 2 families. Everyone had their own space and were able to relax in each of the living rooms with ease. There were nice treats that my kids enjoyed, coffees, oatmeal, snacks, water. Those touches were a pleasant surprise. The location was good for OU, where the wedding was, and my kids enjoyed the view in the mornings with the cows on the hill across the road. The only negative for me would be the scented room fresheners that were in the house. They were overwhelming in the space and we had to unplug them. I don’t think the amount was needed. The space was clean and fresh on its own. We would stay here again if we ever visit the area in the future.
