Amazing Family Vacation

We had a very comfortable stay. This place had everything to keep us occupied when it was raining and the pool was so welcoming when it was not. Close enough to all different types of hiking and plenty of places to check out in different towns nearby.

Nice and quiet get away

Our family really enjoyed our experience here. We wanted to get away from the bisy city and with this booking, we certainly did. The pool was nice sized and really helped make the heat wave feel less intense.

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.

Absolutely Delightful Stay!!

We couldn't have had a better stay at this house! There was plenty of space for our whole family and it was extremely clean. The pool was lovely too! Our kids spent most of there time there. Another favorite was the front porch. We all had room to hang out and talk as we watched the sun go down. All together was a fabulous stay and we would definitely come again! P.S. Hope was very responsive and helpful!!

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.
