Top Hocking Valley Scenic Railway Hotel Reviews

Nostalgic in Nelsonville: Great back yard for pets

10/10 Excellent

"The home was clean, beds and linens were comfortable and everything I needed was provided. The property is as described in the listing which I am painfully learning is the not the case with all listed homes."

"The property is immaculate. Super stylishly decorated with thoughtful touches everywhere. This is clearly a place that the owner takes pride in. It was an easy drive from Ohio University where we were visiting my son. Would definitely stay here again."

Historic Primrose Bed & Breakfast Nelsonville!

8/10 Good

"Was a sweet little Place. It was a little hard to find because the GPS said it was on one side of the street, but it was on the other. Staff was very nice serving breakfast."

1st Choice Lodging- Maple Leaf Inn

8/10 Good

"We loved the amount of room in the house. Its an older home with natural wood throughout and nicely updated bathrooms. Windows are older and 2 of the rooms dont have shades, only curtains that didnt always block out street lights. We appreciated that the Neighborhood was quiet. We were disappointed and inconvenienced by the dryer not drying. The yard had long grass that was definately in need of mowing. The long private driveway was nice. There was nice living spaces for 4-8 people. We needed to purchase spices, olive oil for meal prep and we had to use bathroom towels for use in kitchen. Refrigerator and freezer worked well. Stronger water pressure in Full Bathroom shower would’ve been nicer but it was adequate. All said-it was a nice place for visiting Hocking Hills. Be prepared to get take out meals from Logan or make your own food-not many restaurant choices in Nelsonville. We appreciated the subtle decor of house. The mattresses and pillows were good (but not luxury). We would rent this again if in the area. Thanks"
