Didn't like having to go get a key down the road and dropping it off after visit. Should tell visiters they are sharing the parking lot with ours. There was dog hair in our bed. The place was nice and it was very nice to have a garage to park in.

Perfect Bike Trail Access

We were here primarily for a biking experience and it did not disappoint. Quiet, clean , very nice space. We cooked some of our meals and ate at some local places for others. It was nice to be able to walk or bike to the places we wanted to go. It was a bonus to have a garage to park our bikes and car in.

Cozy and peaceful

Loved our stay at the Carriage House! It was so pretty, clean, cozy, and just right for a long weekend mother daughter trip! The only thing I would suggest for future guests is to add the hot tub is shared between the properties. We did not feel comfortable going to the other house to access it as it was so close to the other home. We appreciated the quick response and assistance to access hot water, along with the follow up the next morning. Thank you so much!

Nestled in Nelsonville

Property was exactly how it was listed. Pretty quite for location being in town and behind a Bed and Breakfast. Very clean! Only reason I did not give it a five start rating was because hot tub and parking are shared with the Bed and Breakfast. Little walk to hot tub and If you book a weekend where they are busy you might not get to park by the house. Have to park on the street and walk back the driveway because Bed and Breakfast guest take up the parking.

Tube a rama girls trip

The communication ahead of the trip was prompt and very attentive, until check in. I did not understand that we were going to the Business for the Key. We arrived and left thinking something was wrong only to have to circle back 10 minutes later. Perhaps this could be clarified in the communications. Place was very clean and tidy, comfortable! ** Significant Earwig bug problem. ALL OVER and even In the couches!

Not as advertised - Not a luxury cottage

The cottage was not luxury. It has adequate living space and kitchen facilities. The beds were comfortable. That is where the positives end. There were no amenities in bathroom. Cottage was in a run down neighborhood with shacks as views. We thought we were staying in a cottage in beautiful Hocking Hills. The property was old and outside unkept, paint peeling, weeds everywhere. Hot tub was shared with B&B next door and you had to walk across a parking lot. The remote control on the TV did not work an when we finally were able to communicate with property manager we were told that the housekeeper was aware that it did not work. I spilled water on the floor and when I wiped it up the paper towel was black with dirt. The VRBO description did not match the actual. Would not recommend.

I loved the property, Immaculately kept, absolutely gorgeous and would love to stay here again. Whoever decorated and the little details bring joy and inspiration, down to the positive affirmations and the furnishings and even having spices to use to cook in the kitchen. I cannot wait for another staycation. A few things to improve are to turn up the hot water, could not figure out how to do that. Also the power went out to the upstairs bathroom when I stayed there and stayed off the entire night and following morning til checkout. Maybe label which circuit on the circuit breaker to flip to get it back on. The biggest issue is the parking; it is a very inconvenient driveway and if even 2 cars are parked there it is very hard to maneuever and get out and I think there should be one spot that is marked for handicapped and unloading and designated for the Carriage House as this parking is most logically located right next to Carriage House. People kept pulling in and out and backing in and out of driveway which is kind of dangerous as they saw no spots are available. I would designate one spot for Carriage House at least and one for Primrose and not allow further parking. Stripe it with paint for these spots. The pavement leading from street to driveway is great but then drops off very steeply and unpleasantly into gravel which makes backing out into the street very dangerous and stressful. Please take these ideas about clear striping and designated signage into mind.

Beautiful Getaway Home

Everything about the stay was peaceful and easy going from the check in to check out. Check in literally took 5 minutes with the clerk giving details on activities nearby and the best restaurants around to try. The house was very welcoming with all of the greeting signs and everything needed for a comfy relaxed stay was provided. Location was good for traveling to Athens and Hocking Hills. The only minor issue we ran into was the temperature of the jacuzzi never adjusted to a hotter temperature. Thank you for providing us with a comfortable and lovely stay.

Hocking Hills experience

The property was just as the pictures stated it was. Just a few minor things that need to be addressed like the locks needs to be fixed or changed, and the door leading upstairs has a gash at the top of it like it’s been hit. No washer/dryer in the place. But very nice spot to relax. Would stay here again.
