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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Great little home for a getaway
Our daughter picked this cute little place to spend her 21st birthday. Nice place. Very accommodating. Only thing, if you run hot, this might not be the place for you. Only window air conditioners and in 90 degree heat, it doesn’t do well. Oh and the locks on both doors weren’t very stable. Kept messing up and wouldn’t line up. But in this great state, we can carry. So I wasn’t too worried.

Overall satisfactory with a few disappointments
We enjoyed our stay. We were disappointed by the hot tub, slightly dirty with some broken features. The clamp holding up the shower head in one of the bathrooms was broken. A couple things on the listing amenities are not available. So a touch of false advertising we felt. But overall we did have a nice stay and made the most of it.

It's truly the best place we have ever stayed, for the price, size and amenities. All of the little touches were great, as well. We recommended to family and friends before we even left. We will be back, for sure.

Nice place!
Overall, I'd stay here again. Nice and clean with comfortable beds, right up the street from the center of Nelsonville, and a 15-20 minute drive to OU. Use of the garage was key for us as we had a dirt bikes and Wayne National Forest was only 8 minutes away. Couple of annoyances - no soap or shampoo provided which was a surprise the first night and SmartTV does not have Roku/Firestick and limited apps (Netflix, but no YouTubeTV). Also, would be nice to have a Keurig rather than a traditional coffee pot and something to kick your feet up on while sitting on the couch. Like I said above, none were huge deals (except for not knowing there was no soap/shampoo) for us but a few items that may improve the experience of staying here.
