Perfectly convenient stay just a smidge outside of the hustle and bustle of Campus traffic!An adorable, comfortable & relaxing cabin-Bean’s place was perfect for our Bobcat family during move in. Everything you need with a little charming influence of Athens as well. We enjoyed the fire pit and cornhole boards as well as the quiet neighborhood overlooking Athens. Easy to get to OU in less than 15 minutes this stay is now at the top of our Trip list for the future.
Gravel driveway and surrounding yard was well maintained. Entry into the home was easy and the interior was immaculate. Very impressed with the details of this cozy cabin. Even down to the fantastic towels. Kitchen, including the refrigerator, and the bathrooms were spotless. Would not hesitate to stay here again when visiting Athens.
We enjoyed the nature, a bonfire, the vista on the ridge. The kitchen was well stocked. The living room was comfortable but an upgrade on the lounge chair and better lighting for reading would be good. The bathroom and shower seemed updated and good condition. We used the bedroom with the 2 single beds but one of the beds squeaked, annoying.
We stayed here while visiting our daughter at OU. It’s a cute little cabin with a nice outdoor space. The kitchen was well stocked, including coffee and creamer. It’s a quick drive to Athens.
We had a great stay on a cold snowy weekend. The owners were great at communicating, and were very flexible with our situation, which I really appreciate. The cabin was well-stocked with coffee/tea/hot chocolate, and the laundry and fire pit with wood were nice bonuses. Would definitely stay again.
Just what we were looking for to spend somequality time with our two Bobcats! Bean’splace was very clean, extremely cozy, and well stocked. The hosts were super responsive! Thanks!
We loved our stay at Bean's Place! It was clean, comfortable, spacious and very well-appointed. It was about a 5 minute drive to the Convocation Center at Ohio University, very convenient. The hosts were quick to respond to emails and verveaccommodating

We had booked it for 5 days, we left after one night because It was the middle of winter and there wasn’t any heat, didn’t get above 58 degrees. I only received a partial refund, I would have given the full amount back. Wouldn’t recommend in the cold weather months
Perfect location. Fire pit & out door space & games were perfect. The little extras inside the house including coffee & tea station, water filter pitcher and bathroom amenities were perfect. We will be staying here again!
This cabin was a great place to stay. It was nice to be able to spend time with our daughter, and still see the campus. It was very crowded on campus so we decided to stay in on Saturday night, had a fire and played games. I would definitely stay at this cabin again.
Terrific place for a quiet getaway but close enough to town if you need something or don't feel like cooking. Very clean with the best drink station (coffee, tea, cocoa) in anyplace we have stayed. Yard games outside were fun to have. Would recommend to others for a secluded relaxing getaway but with all the comforts of home.

Very nice cabin. It was clean and well kept. If we are in the area again we would definitely stay here. Located in a quiet neighborhood but also had easy access to anything that you might need (gas, groceries, restaurants, movies etc). Nice outdoor game area. Great kitchen.
Easy to see why Bean's Place is rated "EXCEPTIONAL"
We feel lucky to have happened upon this most cozy of cottages. There is so much to delight in, but what comes to mind first is the warm entry decorated with seasonal lights, the window boxes of flowers, the beautiful, quality throws on each bed and the surprise treasure of chocolates in the canister on the kitchen table. It rained our whole trip, preventing us from enjoying the outside, but the inside was so nice that we still felt like we were winning. We hope to have the chance to stay again!
The cabin was clean, comfortable and just right for the two of us. Karl was particularly helpful when we had a problem with the TV remote. It was the user(me) not the remote.
This cabin was exactly what we wanted! Off the beaten path, but close to town for food or supplies. The cabin was immaculately cleaned and stocked with everything we could possibly need. The hosts were super responsive to my questions and thought of everything to make this cabin cozy and inviting upon our arrival. I loved having cozy lights on welcoming us! Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
I love how secluded this a Little piece of Heaven was. However, not too far from being close to everything. The owners were very communicative and handled. Everything promptly . Smelled amazing and very clean.
We enjoyed our stay at Beans Place. Very comfortable With all that is needed in the kitchen, nice to have full size washer/dryer and so much more. We were very impressed that the hosts didn’t want is to do any cleaning. We’ve stayed at other Vrbo rentals that require some cleaning. We will definitely stay here again when visiting our family in Athens. Our 5 year old called it our holiday house. 😊 Hosts were wonderful and communication was great!
A charming and cozy place, 8 min drive to campus. We appreciated how clean the house was, and the cozy fire pit with lots of firewood at the ready. I had coffee on the back porch and appreciated the quiet before heading to OU for the day and heading back to a clean and cozy place at night. Host was kind to offer trail suggestions for my toddler and responsive with all questions. Grateful for an easy and sweet weekend at Beans place !
Such pride, care, thought and love put into this little cabin called Bean’s Place (EST. 2022)
I’m reluctant to share that I rented this cabin for OU Mom’s Weekend because I hope to score it again next year. The cabin is so cozy that my son opted to stay with me instead of on campus. He was thrilled that I could do his laundry there! It’s a quick 10 minutes to campus. The owners seemed to have thought of everything-a closet for corn hole, cleaning and laundry supplies, nice bath products, coffee/tea galore, local labeled photography, live plants and cute outdoor space. Will come back!
I’m so sad that my son will be graduating from OU in the spring and that I’ll no longer have an excuse to stay at Bean’s Place! I love it here. I think I was one of their first renters and then had a hard time booking it again because it’s so amazing! Luckily I was able to snag it for this rogue Parents Weekend, albeit months in advance. The property and place are so inviting. You immediately feel happy, safe, and cozy. They have truly thought of everything. Even my very particular husband was beyond impressed. The subtle decor tipped off new ideas of places to visit like growlers from Little Fish and Devil’s Kettle. We also checked out Eclipse, which was great. Next time I want to try Shade Winery. Wait! I hope I get to have a next time!
