Athens Cottage | Secluded Wooded Setting 5 Minutes From Town

3 Bedroom Cottage in Athens

Creekside Cottage is a quiet, private gem nestled in the Appalachian foothills in a wooded country setting, yet only a 5 minute drive to Ohio University. It has a fully equipped kitchen, large deck with porch swing and outdoor furniture, fire pit, and hot tub. Bedrooms (one with a full bed, one with two twins, one with one twin bed) are equipped with quality mattresses and classic bedding. All linens are provided. Tastefully decorated, you'll find an extensive library of classic novels, historical biographies, photo illustrations, etc. AC and furnace will keep you comfortable no matter the season. Hot tub for relaxing at night and watching stars, or for that first cup of coffee in the morning. We think the surrounding beauty and nature's songs will take guests away from a hectic world for a short time. Cable and Wi-Fi are available. Cell phone reception varies; most guests find they can get an adequate signal.
Experience a historical college town and all it has to offer, and return to peaceful solitude, a comfortable bed, sounds of nature, and the simple comfort of a good nights sleep. Travelers will find this a delight!
Pets are welcome with a $25 fee. UNDISCLOSED PETS WILL INCUR A $100 FEE PER PET, PER NIGHT.
This is positively a NO TOBACCO environment beyond the fire pit and parking areas!
Our base rate covers two guests; additional guests are $25 per night, per guest, maximum 5 guests. Our base rate covers two guests; additional guests are $25/guest/night. UNDISCLOSED GUESTS WILL INCUR A $100 FEE PER GUEST, PER NIGHT.

Summary: This home couldn't have been better for the quality and price! The secuded position of the property and the charming cottage was like stepping back in time. The host helped me with a booking error I made as well. We chose this adorable location when planning a last minute getaway. The price fell just above our hotel budget. Again, thank you for a step back to a simple, sentimental step back in time. Decorated so inviting, my favorite, the airplane light shade in the twin bedroom. Charming
