We enjoyed our stay at The Lazy Gray. It was clean and had everything we needed. There was plenty of room to relax, we liked the open dining area and comfy chairs and couches. The best part was being in a peaceful area and sitting outside enjoying the weather. It is close to town with several dining options and within distance to explore West Virginia as well as Jackson, we also found some cool places to explore in the Cooper Hollow Wildlife Area.

This was our first VBRO experience in the Oak Hill area. We don't have any more family to stay with. We were very pleased with the location, cleanliness, ease of access, kitchen amenities, ease of temperature control, and general overall experience. The coffee bar was very nice. All the add ins were a nice touch and unexpected. The only negative was the slippery floor in the bathtub. Even after warning my husband, he slipped and went down on one knee. The seat helped a lot. I hate those sticky things on a tub floor but a mat that could be used, if needed, might be a good suggestion.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the location, cleanliness, amenities, coffee bar, and overall experience at The Lazy Gray. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the bathtub. Safety is important to us, and we will certainly look into adding a bath mat option for guests who would prefer one. Thank you for bringing that to our attention. We enjoyed hosting you and would be happy to welcome you back anytime you’re visiting the Oak Hill area.

Clean, well-maintained, well-equipped home. It had everything we needed, very comfortable for two couples, and our dog loved the large backyard! We were in the area for the Southern Ohio Forest Rally and this home was in a great location for us to use as home base for the weekend. Clear communication with Julie throughout the booking process and during our stay. Would stay again!
