Charming house
We really enjoyed our stay! Everyone was super friendly and good about communicating. Jen did an amazing job cooking for all of us and keeping the bed and breakfast clean. It was only disappointing in that we had the room booked for a few weeks, and someone who booked the night before accidentally got our room and we were the ones who had to change to a different one. Mistakes happen and it was not a huge deal to me at all. We still liked the room we ended up in a lot! The jacuzzi was also really nice. I loved that just a block over were really good restaurant selections too, and the property manager gave us really good recommendations for activities! I would stay here again or recommend to others.

Good stay but Inaccurate Listing
We knew registration was at a different location. Unfortunately, once we discovered that wi-go didn’t work, the management company was closing. I placed two phone calls about it: I spoke with “Emma” the first time who promised to call me back. That didn’t happen so I called again an hour later and had to leave a message. No one EVER called me back. Listing states there will be shampoo provided. This is inaccurate. Breakfast is provided. It is an adequate breakfast. A refrigerator is in the common kitchen.

B&B in Nelsonville Ohio
Spent one night here as it was a half way point to our final destination. Quaint over 100 year old historical building. We pretty much had the place to ourselves as no one but guests stay on the property. Other guests arrived after midnight but we never saw them. Walkable distance to small downtown with several bars and restaurants. Morning breakfast was usual fare but could have been kept a little warmer. In fact since there was only the two of us, the cook should consider made to order eggs, etc. She was however very friendly and informative. Sat on the large front porch for a bit which was nice. Neighborhood seems to be somewhat run down. Overall the price was lower than staying in a hotel and we stayed in a unique property.

No hospitality on property
We liked the property and detailed info getting there. We encountered not one person on property until the next morning when going to the breakfast room. The person preparing breakfast did not even greet us with a good morning! I asked for a coffee cup, she pointed then I discovered for myself where everything else I needed was. My husband behind me didn’t fair better when asking for hot water for tea. She practically bit his head off since he didn’t know it was on the stove. Just a bit of hospitality would be appreciated at a B and B

Cute B&B but lacking in directions
When we arrived at the place, we were told we needed to go across town to pickup keys - something we were NOT told about in any of the correspondence with the property owner. We picked up the keys but they were to another property so we had to go back and get the correct ones. Not a great start to our stay. The property was as described and the staff working there were really pleasant and hospitable.

Great location, quiet, needs work
Awesome historical house! Easy check in, outstanding price, very large room. Tub drain didn’t line up and bathroom flooded all over the hardwood floors after each shower. Morning person making breakfast casually said “it’s been that way for months” Wait WHAT!? Months? 1 tiny mirror in the bathroom, if you have to dress for an event keep it in mind. Overall 6 out of ten. Would be 8 if not for the bathroom flooding which seemed to only bother me but I work in the insurance industry.

Jennifer was our host for the weekend and did all the cooking. She even came in on Memorial Day and cooked us breakfast when she didn't have to! Our room was very clean and right off the main hallway. Had a great time and met some wonderful couples over breakfast. Didn't hang around the property much as we were very busy in the area. Next time we would use the hot tub which we didn't notice until we were leaving. The only odd thing is having to pickup the keys at the local Outdoor Adventure Pro shop in town, but it all worked out Ok. We had a wonderful time exploring the Hocking Hills region and would come back to this property in the future.

My husband and I needed time to just unwind this was a last minute booking. I needed to change the date of arrival and they we able to accommodate with the request. Our suite was comfortable and quiet. The house is beautiful, charming and clean. We came off season so not sure how it would be in the busier seasons.

Great experience and will definitely be back!!! The breakfast was delicious, nice hot tub, great room, and exceptional hosts! We stayed in the primrose garden room and only had a few recommendations (quite a bit of dust/wrappers under the bed we noticed when checking to make sure we had everything, 1 of the towel rods was loose/could not be used and needs fixed, a 2nd trash can in the bathroom might be helpful since there’s a bit of distance between the bathroom and bedroom where the 1 small trash can was, and there was a few blue soap stains noted on shower curtain from previous residents). The neighborhood was quiet and we slept well during our 3 night stay! The owners were very friendly, attentive and accommodating! Excellent location. A hidden gem! We plan on coming back again soon!!
