Vacation home in Athens with kitchen, patio, and hot tub

Just 15 minutes from Athens but a world away from stress and noise. This spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bath home is tucked at the end of a country road and is freshly renovated stem to stern. Large open great room with a wall of windows draws in nature. Two spacious bedrooms and 2 spacious baths make it comfortable for everyone who stays. Gorgeous hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, natural slate tile baths, and every amenity places this home at the intersection of luxurious and woodsy. Huge deck for relaxing or taking a dip in the hot tub. Quiet country setting gets you away from city life, but you're just a short drive from Ohio University, restaurants, movies, shopping, art centers/museum, Strouds Run State Park, and plenty of outdoor recreation. Headed to the Bailey's Trail System or Hocking Hills? You're looking at a quick 25/45 minute drive respectively. This one is for the quiet life....no parties and a maximum 4 guests. Everything you need is supplied, including bedding, toiletries, and supplies, and it has a fully outfitted kitchen too.

Our 2nd stay at this property.
We enjoyed staying at this property a second time. The secluded location provided a perfect setting to relax, enjoy nature, and rest. Nice open layout (kitchen, dining area, and loving room). Size of bedrooms (2) and bathrooms (2) was ample and very comfortable.

Lovely place!
This is my new favorite place to stay when visiting family in Guysville! For this trip it was me and my 90 year-old dad - the interior layout was perfect for him. The home is very comfortable, clean and well-appointed, not to mention the beauty of being surrounded by trees. I will certainly stay at Hawk Ridge again.

Place was great. Only drawback is the driveway, make sure you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle.

Loved the home and the property. Very open and spacious design. Very very clean. Lots of amenities. The hot tub was awesome and clean. Lots of towels. I can’t think of one thing I didn’t like! Janine is a joy to communicate with. You can tell she loves the home and that it’s important to her that it be very accommodating (and clean).

Absolutely Perfect Property
My husband and I came into town for a football game to see our son. Another couple joined us. The property is amazing. All of the accommodations are comfortable and the property has everything you might need. The owner has taken great care in the comfort of their guests, from beautiful bedding, extra blankets and towels, and a well stocked kitchen. A very quiet property where the you can enjoy the outdoors from the deck and hot tub, as well as from the amazing picture windows indoors. The communication was great with the owner. We will definitely be back. Great stay!

Anniversary get away
Absolutely beautiful! Every detail was thought of by the property owner. Very clean, comfortable, peaceful. The perfect get away. The hot tub was great and the fire pit was close. We even got to meet the neighborhood cat named Grainger. We stayed celebrating 2 anniversaries with family. Everyone had room to move. We will be back!

A breath of fresh air!
My husband, daughter and I had an incredible stay at the truly beautiful Hawk’s Ridge Retreat! The location couldn't have been better – just a short drive to OUs campus and uptown Athens. The house is cozy yet spacious. It’s been thoughtfully decorated and immaculately cleaned. The hosts were very responsive with any questions we have and the booking process was super easy. I was pleasantly surprised by the modern amenities and fully equipped kitchen, making my stay feel like a home away from home (and even better w a little one!). The highlight was definitely the easy access to the university campus and the vibrant town atmosphere, as well as the calm and comfort of being able to take a deep breath and relax in the hot tub, surrounded by nature. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and memorable stay.
