Scenic Setting Just 8 Minutes From Athens

Pleasant Hill Retreat is a clean, comfortable, scenic two bedroom apartment/getaway; 1.5 baths, sleeps four adults and two youth very well. Children are welcome and with pet approval, a $35 per-pet fee per-night is charged. Please note that for guests beyond two there is an additional fee which VRBO may not display unless you click "View Details" below the rate total.

Just minutes to O.U., shopping and dining. A spacious living room overlooks a private lake as do two bedrooms and decks. There is a fully equipped eat-in kitchen w/coffee and the apartment wonderfully accommodates travelers, explorers and small families. While the laundry room is available to guests, it is also accessible to the owners with a lockable door ensuring privacy.

This place is a great hub for activities related to Ohio University, the micro breweries and restaurants of Athens, hiking trails, Strouds Run State Park, lakes, boat rentals, picnic areas, and the O.U. golf course. A 50 minute drive will take you into the heart of the Hocking Hills. Although the lake view is only a borrowed one, it does offer an amazing vista and wildlife abounds.

Retreat near the university
This was a wonderful home away from home in a beautiful natural setting that offered the feel of a retreat while being just a short ten minute drive too the center of the OU campus. Attentive and responsive hosts who also respect privacy, superb laundry facilities, wonderful view. Recommend without reservation!

Nive with caveat
Th property is nice. The apartment is very cozy and clean. The property is pretty. We have zero complaints about the comfort of the property. What isn't clear in the listing is that what you are renting is an apartment in the lower level of the pictured house which is also the owner's home. So while the house is comfortable, it isnt private. Had this been clear, we probably wouldn't have chosen to stay there with three rambunctious children. While the owner never complained, we were never the less constantly on guard to make sure the kids didn't make too much noise. The owners were pleasant to deal with and even cut us a break on the extra fees for having the kids. This would probably be a good place for a few adults that just need a clean place that is close to Athens.

Terrific OU Vacation spot
This is our third time staying here. It's a fantastic spot, close enough to OU, wineries, hiking and shopping. A lovely well appointed place that has fantastic views. Highly recommend!

Peaceful Haven
The apartment/cabin has the most peaceful surroundings and is just minutes away from Ohio University. The owners thought of just about anything you could need during your stay and it was very clean. You can't beat the view.

Quiet and peaceful location with lovely views. Short drive from OU campus. Well laid out space with nice extra touches... samples of locally made soaps, book with notes about the house and the area, waters stocked in the fridge. Would definitely return!

Peaceful, comfortable and welcoming
I had a short but wonderful stay at this apartment. It was extremely clean and welcoming and I felt comfortable staying there. As others have said, they thought of everything I could have needed. I was staying there from out of state to move my daughter into Ohio University and it was very convenient to the school. I would definitely enjoy staying here again.

A quiet, relaxing place in a scenic wooded area. The unit had everything we wanted, plenty of room, and outdoor space to relax after our day trips. Thank you to the hosts.
