The Ohio University Convocation Center is hiking distance, as is the University and downtown Athens. FREE WIFI and FREE parking for up to 4 cars. McDonalds, and other fast food is very close by, as is a hardware store. The house is on the Athens transit route and we have Uber and Lyft. The house is a historic Sears kit house built in 1939 and recently extensively remodeled. We have a full kitchen and a washer and dryer for for your use only. This house has been extensively re-modeled early 2017 with all new wiring, heating/cooling, new kitchen, new appliances, new bathrooms and new furniture and new mattresses. ALL new! Also, we have free wireless, cable and 4 flat screen tv's. There are some games and books in the living room. If you start a book and like it, feel free to take it. The entire house is is yours except for the basement which is reserved for heat/air and utilities management. Check out our front porch! My cell is (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) Mitch, please text if there is a minor problem or call if there is an emergency. I can address it personally or have an employee help. I own the local furniture store (Sofa and Mattress Outlet, 606 E. State Street, close to Wal Mart) visit the store if you can! My son also works for me and he is very handy and happy to help! A firehouse is several doors down for your protection. Self serve car wash next door. Local family owned food market and hardware store is half a block away. On easy bus route for transportation or call a locally owned cab. Great location! We own the car wash so you can park next to the house on either side and not risk being towed. Several small cab companies will wisk you to your destination cheaply and the house is located on the transit bus route. Walking is possible but uptown is a hike. I used to hike it when I went to college here but it may not be for you. Close to Ohio University and inside the city limits of Athens, Ohio. We are 1 of only 4 legal short term rental houses in Athens. Our fully legal status means that we are safety inspected by the city of Athens Code Office. They check location and viability of fire and carbon monoxide detectors, GFI wiring in bathrooms and kitchen, fire extinguishers and they look for any code violations. We pass these requirements. All of our equipment is brand new.

Great space that was easy to find even at 3 am, the multiple bedrooms were great according to the person who stayed there the kitchen was well stick and we were able to cook some great meals and the board games and movie collection kept us busy.

This home was the perfect accommodation for us as we moved our daughter to grad school. While we only used the home for sleep and showers, everything we could have needed appeared to be there. The location was perfect as it was right near OU! Mitch was very responsive to any questions I had. I will definitely rebook this home for future visits to Athens!

This house was absolutely perfect for our weekend in Athens. A nice, beautiful walk to uptown. Lots of movies and games at the house to enjoy as well. Check-in was easy, house was clean, and coffee and bathroom amenities were provided. Couldn’t ask for more!

Only negative was all the spider webs and spiders covering the porch furniture and entire porch ceiling. We used the porch a ton, so knocking all the webs and active spiders down was not fun. Otherwise, perfect!

What a wonderful stay!!!! The location was better than I expected, and the house was stocked beyond compare. It was very clean, the hosts were very receptive to questions and the check-in and out process was a breeze! Will definitely book during future visits with my daughter! Thank you very much for a wonderful stay. Had it not been raining, we would have walked to campus, but when we used uber to get back Sat. night it was very very reasonable and they knew exactly where we were going....love small towns. Thankl you again!

The house is very lovely and accommodated our family nicely. It is an older house, but we loved the charm. What we did not love is a family of raccoons apparently living in the house with us.
The first night we thought they were outside on the roof of the adjoining storage unit. However, the second night my daughter was in the upstairs bedroom and saw one of them running in the vents.
Unfortunately, do to the noise and chaos no one in my family got a good nights rest. I sent an email to the property manager, but never received a response. It was later in the evening, but no one responded the next day either.
