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. =)
