About this property
Outdoor Adventure Near University-Kid Friendly
This 2 bedroom apartment is seconds away from Stroud's Run State Park and Dow Lake and a short 12-minute scenic drive to Ohio University and Athens. The living room is a comfortable space that opens into a fully furnished kitchen that is great for small gatherings and children. Childproof oven knobs and cabinet locks are available, and a majority of electrical outlets are childproof.
The first bedroom has a king bed, and the second bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed that is suited for both children or adults, and includes books and toys for children.
Sit outside on the porch and you might catch a glimpse of wildlife. The space is great for small gatherings of friends, or families visiting Ohio University.
There are 2 playgrounds nearby, one in the Stroud's Run Campground area, and the second is located on the beach at Dow Lake.
Strouds has some of the best mountain biking trails in Ohio, and you can rent a boat (pontoon, canoe, kayak or swan paddleboat!) from the Boat Dock. Swim at the beach, and spend some quality time with family or friends knowing you have a clean space to return to, relax and unwind.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Gretchen Gregory
We are a busy family of four with two active kids. We bought this 14 acre farm in 2019, and renovations haven't stopped since. We love Southeast Ohio because of the scenery, hiking and outdoor recreation, and especially Athens because of all the amazing local food options available.
Why they chose this property
This property is the perfect distance outside of Athens - enough to stargaze but close enough that a Lyft or Uber ride home is available, along with high-speed internet. Athens is such a fun place to be! There is so much to do here every weekend thanks to all the wonderful kind-hearted neighbors who call Athens County home.
What makes this property unique
Hike to the lake or playground at the campground, or drive there in less than a minute. Run or bike around the lake. Take the trails all the way to Athens and back - the sky is the limit! There are miles and miles of hiking and biking trails to choose from. After a long day of outdoor recreation, or visiting with your OU student after a night Uptown, relax in a comfortable apartment space to call your own.
Also, the apartment is child friendly! We know what it's like traveling with kids, so we try to make it easier on parents by supplying the things you need to make your family trip a success. We have a high chair, pack n play, childproof electric outlet covers, child locks, and oven knob covers. =)
