NYE date night
The Lodge itself is so beautiful! You are greeted by a cozy fire place entryway, sitting area, and bar. The bar is only open on weekends. The room was very clean and the bed and pillows were SO comfortable!! Our room just happened to be right by the employee entry door. The door is heavy and loud and we heard it slam shut all night long and early morning. Other than that, it was a nice place to stay. It is less than 5 miles from downtown Nelsonville.

Cute and comfortable
The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. If it were summer, we’d definitely want to spend time enjoying the outside. The room had lots of character and reflected the area. There wasn’t much privacy for the bathroom because of a large gap around the door and a strobe light feature on the lamp but was a really comfortable room otherwise.

Athens, Ohio Football Trip
Stayed at the lodge Thanksgiving evening, to attend the Ohio University and Ball State football game the next day. The location was easy to find, and I believe we were the only guests that night as it was very quiet. The roll out bed from the couch was rough, but was expected. The in room coffee maker didn’t work, due to a missing part but coffee was available the next morning as apart of the continental breakfast. My kids enjoyed the strawberry waffles and other quick breakfast items. Overall for the location, and the fact that it was Thanksgiving evening I enjoyed the stay and found the area and small town feel a nice change of pace from chain hotels and busy metropolitan areas I’ve stayed at in the past.

The hotel was nice. However the bed was extremely soft/weak. Also breakfast was limited. On the second morning there were no plates, plasticware or syrup available for the waffles. Went to front desk but no one was around.

We had a great stay minus the breakfast. It offered waffles but no knives, forks, or napkins. Limited selection available. Everything else was nice.

I loved the room and the location was easy to find. Everything about the room was great except the mattresses. They were not firm enough for me. I sunk into them too easily and couldn't easily switch from side to side.
Outside of that the staff was friendly and i could get in and out of the location easily.

Trip for the fall colors
I enjoyed my stay at the lodge very much. The room was clean and comfortable. The lodge is not far from Hocking Hills, where I spent most of my time. I do wish the continental breakfast had more options, it’s very simple. Think cold cereal, granola bars and a waffle maker. Fresh fruit would have been nice. I would stay here again if I’m in the area

A nice and quiet place to stay. It is set up with minimalism in mind I’d say. The complaint about the bathroom barn doors in another review is fair but not that bad. Basically there is about an inch gap between the wall and the inside of the door so you can peek in at an angle if so inclined. Mattress are really soft. Probably too soft. Everything else was great

Overall a great stay!
Overall this was a great visit. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the staff were mostly friendly. The faculty member/manager working with the students wasn't very friendly. Would have liked a few more choices on the breakfast.
