We really enjoyed our stay here. There are quirks but that’s expected for a house built in 1850. We loved the space and the area. We were able to walk to get pizza and coffee. Checking in and out was easy. To price was incredible for an entire house that was pet friendly. We hope to stay here again soon!

Very neat 1800’s home with updated kitchen and appliances, very nice fenced backyard, patio with a little fire pit and gas grill. Unfortunately the weather was quite cold and snowy, but it would be great on a nice day Glad it was pet friendly enjoyed having our dog with us felt comfortable walking on the streets of Nelsonville with her The house was neat and clean and supplied with plenty towels and kitchen utensils Convenient location for visiting all that Hocking Hills has to offer if you enjoy nature and the outdoors

Location to Nelsonville and Hocking College is excellent. They allow pets, which is a major plus. We have stayed here twice so obviously we are okay with the negatives. You will need to bring your own soap and coffee (there is a coffee maker). Backyard is convenient for a dog but note there are a couple of escape routes so you have to watch them. The backyard could be a paradise with a little yard maintenance. Screen door arm has been hanging for over a year. Finally, there are a number of lights that don’t work or have burnt bulbs, including front porch.

Ohio vacay

We came down to spend time with family and friends in the area. It was rainy, chilly, and cloudy most of our stay, but we did have some nice weather. We didn't really do any sightseeing or adventures on this trip. Mostly we stayed in the Nelsonville, Athens & Amesville areas.

Beautiful old home!

The pictures do not do it justice. Overall a great stay! Check in / out was quick but had to go to a retail business to pick up key. Home was very clean, but was a little dissappointed that the upstairs ( bath and sleeping area) was so hot! The downstairs was a very comfortable.

Nice Old House

If you are going to Nelsonvilled or Hocking College, the location is excellent. This is a cool old house. Bring your own soap and shampoo.If you have a dog, be aware that there is a big gap in the fence and your dog can easily leave the nice private back yard.

Cute house in historic area

Rented this place for a girls weekend. It was a beautiful well kept home that was clean and fully furnished. The owners were quick to respond to questions. Gps was a little lost getting us to the exact house but we quickly found it. The neighborhood is cute and appears to be trying to make a comeback to its glory days. It was a short drive to hocking hills. Would definitely stay again.

This property is exactly as pictured. As mentioned in previous reviews there is no hot tub. We were offered a free kayaking trip. The back yard was wonderful and relaxing. We enjoyed watching the birds at the feeders. The house was very clean. I do wish check in and check out could have been on site but it was only about 5 min away from the property.

Hocking Hills-“buggy”

The home was historic and beautiful—gorgeous wood floors. The neighborhood was rundown and felt a bit sketchy. There is some effort to revitalize a one block stretch that had a couple cute shops/coffee house. The worst part of stay is that we discovered cockroaches on our fifth of six night stay— gross!

Thank you for staying at the 1850 Inn. We're glad you thought the home was pretty. It is only 1 block away from the Nelsonville Historic Square. The neighborhood is safe. There are some nearby homes that could use some updating, but we can't control that. We do, however, have about 6 other rentals located with 1 block of this home & we are doing everything in our power to help beautify the area the best we can. We do regularly spray for bugs & pests.

Beautiful home

A beautiful, impeccably clean house. The town is small. It is a beautiful home and I would love there in a minute. The home is right by the town square. The town is small. A few local restaurants are within one block. 2 of 3 were closed the weekend we were there. You’re 30 minutes away from Hocking Hills State Park. Beautiful park. We went tubing on the Hocking river and that was great. We were just minutes away from that.

A truly outstanding house and experience!

The entire experience of staying with 1st Choice Properties was excellent. The check-in was clear and easy. When we arrived at the house, it was impeccably clean. This particular house is quite old (built in the 1850's), but the kitchen and all 3 bathrooms have been nicely updated. The interior design and decor are tasteful and modern. We encountered a small issue during our stay (we couldn't find the ironing board that was listed as being included). We contacted the management team and they addressed it promptly and to our complete satisfaction. I very highly recommend this house and 1st Choice Properties. We would definitely stay wtih them again!
