Wonderful property
We stayed here for a family wedding and it was the perfect size for our 2 families. Everyone had their own space and were able to relax in each of the living rooms with ease. There were nice treats that my kids enjoyed, coffees, oatmeal, snacks, water. Those touches were a pleasant surprise. The location was good for OU, where the wedding was, and my kids enjoyed the view in the mornings with the cows on the hill across the road. The only negative for me would be the scented room fresheners that were in the house. They were overwhelming in the space and we had to unplug them. I don’t think the amount was needed. The space was clean and fresh on its own. We would stay here again if we ever visit the area in the future.

Great family visit with daughter at OU
This home was perfect for our extended family to come watch our girl march halftime with the Marching 110. The home was clean, spacious, comfortable and close enough to campus to allow us to enjoy casual family time around our OU student’s demanding schedule. We found everything we needed and then some. Hope’s welcoming touches made the stay perfect! We are looking forward to weekending here again in the future.

Very spacious, well maintained and comfortable.
Very nice place!! The kitchen and bathrooms were clean and well stocked. There are two living rooms for folks to spread out. Beds and linens were comfortable. Plenty of parking space. The pool was clean. Nice views from the big front porch. Communication was superb. Most Hocking Hills attractions were about 30 minutes away. The only issue we had was that two of the kids got stung by sweat bees in the back yard. We will definitely consider coming back again.

Happy at Hope's (2nd time)
Our second stay in Nelsonville proved again that Hope's is the pace to stay for quiet, relaxation and all around GREAT time. The updates to the family room were SO cozy and inviting. Hope and Joe went above and beyond making my 23 year old special needs deaf/blind son stay more positive than last year. This house is perfectly located to ride the Nelsonville Valley Scenic Railway (highly recommended) or go into Athens for a spa trip. If you are vacationing with your multigenerational family, this ranch house is exactly what your family needs with a fully stocked kitchen, large pool and enough space for everyone to chill out.

Great home away from home!!!
Hemlock acres was totally awesome. Our family just wanted a clean, kid friendly place to stay close to Hocking Hills, OH. It was such a relaxing stay. It was one of the cleanest places we have rented. Plenty of towels for our full family of 8 adults and 8 kiddos under 12. Would highly recommend checking it out. Nice flat yard and pool was amazing!!! Thanks Hope for the hospitality. It was truly amazing!!

Slice of heaven
Beautiful, clean & spacious! The kitchen was well stocked with every kind of pan, utensils etc you need to feel at home. 2 separate living spaces & lots of board games & outdoor games if you want to play. We loved the front porch seating & views; the private pool was clean & inviting but the pool temp was not warm enough for us - we expected that as Hope told us beforehand it is not heated except by the sun. The king bed was super comfy - we slept great & loved the large soaking tub. The tv in the BR could be a bit bigger but we had several other large tv’s in the living area’s to watch if we wanted. Hope & Jo have a beautiful, well kept place & we enjoyed our stay. They thought of everything, firewood, granola bars, a basket with some munchie's & even stuff to make s'mores! We will definitely be back!
