Nice cabin close to Athens

We stayed here while visiting our daughter at OU. It’s a cute little cabin with a nice outdoor space. The kitchen was well stocked, including coffee and creamer. It’s a quick drive to Athens.

Great cozy cabin near Ohio University and Athens

We had a great stay on a cold snowy weekend. The owners were great at communicating, and were very flexible with our situation, which I really appreciate. The cabin was well-stocked with coffee/tea/hot chocolate, and the laundry and fire pit with wood were nice bonuses. Would definitely stay again.

Easy to see why Bean's Place is rated "EXCEPTIONAL"

We feel lucky to have happened upon this most cozy of cottages. There is so much to delight in, but what comes to mind first is the warm entry decorated with seasonal lights, the window boxes of flowers, the beautiful, quality throws on each bed and the surprise treasure of chocolates in the canister on the kitchen table. It rained our whole trip, preventing us from enjoying the outside, but the inside was so nice that we still felt like we were winning. We hope to have the chance to stay again!

Athens Excuse

I’m so sad that my son will be graduating from OU in the spring and that I’ll no longer have an excuse to stay at Bean’s Place! I love it here. I think I was one of their first renters and then had a hard time booking it again because it’s so amazing! Luckily I was able to snag it for this rogue Parents Weekend, albeit months in advance. The property and place are so inviting. You immediately feel happy, safe, and cozy. They have truly thought of everything. Even my very particular husband was beyond impressed. The subtle decor tipped off new ideas of places to visit like growlers from Little Fish and Devil’s Kettle. We also checked out Eclipse, which was great. Next time I want to try Shade Winery. Wait! I hope I get to have a next time!

Exceeded Expectations

I'm reluctant to add an amazing review, because I don't want others to rent it and make it even harder to reserve; it is THAT GOOD. The Hosts literally thought of everything. I typically pack as if places are "bare bones" as far as utensils, toiletries, etc. I didn't have to bring any of our things from home out because SO MUCH is provided. The only thing that could have made this better, would be if we could bring our dog, but we totally understand and respect the hosts wishes to not includw pets. The roads on and off the hill are a bit nerve wracking, as you can tell the locals are that know the curves and hills and go a bit faster than what seems practical. Otherwise, the proximity to OU was perfect for us. The house was extremely clean, smelled great and was very cozy. We will definitely keep Beans at the top of our list of places to stay over the next 4 years!

Just Like Home

We enjoyed our stay at Beans Place. Very comfortable With all that is needed in the kitchen, nice to have full size washer/dryer and so much more. We were very impressed that the hosts didn’t want is to do any cleaning. We’ve stayed at other Vrbo rentals that require some cleaning. We will definitely stay here again when visiting our family in Athens. Our 5 year old called it our holiday house. 😊 Hosts were wonderful and communication was great!

Mom's Weekend

This cabin was a great place to stay. It was nice to be able to spend time with our daughter, and still see the campus. It was very crowded on campus so we decided to stay in on Saturday night, had a fire and played games. I would definitely stay at this cabin again.

Exactly what we hoped!

The cabin was clean, check-in easy, and Karl and Eileen were responsive communicators. Stayed here with two friends and we enjoyed the kitchen, tv, fire pit and firewood, picnic table outside and a secluded yard. Was perfect for a few days away.

What a Fabulous Gem of a Cabin

Fantastic secluded location with nearby access to Athens, OH. We were able to see the sights in Athens, Hocking Hills, Logan and many other nearby places. The Hosts were so accommodating and took care of all our needs and requests and the cabin and amenities made our 25th anniversary so very special. The hosts stock the cabin with quite the choice of different types of coffee and also chocolate kisses!! The outdoors provides numerous games to play and a fabulous fire pit with all the wood you'd ever want. Our daughter attends Ohio University and we wish we would have discovered this gem of a place earlier so we could have stayed here. Our many thanks to our hosts!!

Quiet Getaway

Terrific place for a quiet getaway but close enough to town if you need something or don't feel like cooking. Very clean with the best drink station (coffee, tea, cocoa) in anyplace we have stayed. Yard games outside were fun to have. Would recommend to others for a secluded relaxing getaway but with all the comforts of home.

This cabin was exactly what we wanted! Off the beaten path, but close to town for food or supplies. The cabin was immaculately cleaned and stocked with everything we could possibly need. The hosts were super responsive to my questions and thought of everything to make this cabin cozy and inviting upon our arrival. I loved having cozy lights on welcoming us! Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Relaxing getaway weekend

Bean's place is very clean, comfortable, and very well appointed. The location is great. Close to all that Athens has to offer yet also close to the beautiful Hocking Hills and other excellent spots to get out and enjoy nature. Despite some partial cloudiness, we were able to enjoy the Perseid Meteors on both Saturday and Sunday! Carl and Eileen provide all you need to enjoy your stay and are excellent hosts. We will definitely come back and highly recommend Bean's Place.
