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!!

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.

Perfectly convenient stay just a smidge outside of the hustle and bustle of Campus traffic!An adorable, comfortable & relaxing cabin-Bean’s place was perfect for our Bobcat family during move in. Everything you need with a little charming influence of Athens as well. We enjoyed the fire pit and cornhole boards as well as the quiet neighborhood overlooking Athens. Easy to get to OU in less than 15 minutes this stay is now at the top of our Trip list for the future.

Karl and Eileen thought of everything! From providing plenty of fluffy towels, several cozy throw blankets, the best stocked coffee/tea bar I've ever experienced in a rental, a washer and dryer for our Bobcat to do her laundry for free (she was thrilled!), fun ice cube trays along with stocked ice containers, a filtered water pitcher, extra wood for the adorable firepit area, indoor and outdoor games, so many great books -- I could go on and on!

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.

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!

Even down to the fantastic towels. Kitchen, including the refrigerator, and the bathrooms were spotless. Would not hesitate to stay here again when visiting Athens.

We enjoyed the nature, a bonfire, the vista on the ridge. The kitchen was well stocked. The living room was comfortable but an upgrade on the lounge chair and better lighting for reading would be good. The bathroom and shower seemed updated and good condition. We used the bedroom with the 2 single beds but one of the beds squeaked, annoying.

Bean’s Place was the perfect stay for my family of three (husband and 10-year old son) while visiting Athens for the holidays! The cabin lived up to its “adorable” description, sited at the top of a ridge, with beautiful sunrise/sunsets over the valley below. The home was very clean, had all the basics we needed - including great coffee! - and the host was quick to offer restaurant recommendations. (Try the pizza from Avalanche) It’s less than a 10 minute drive to the OU campus and 30 minutes to Hocking Hills. Appreciated the benefit of a washer/dryer and fast internet! I highly recommend staying at Bean’s Place when in the area!

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!

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!

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.

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!!

We loved our stay at Bean's Place! It was clean, comfortable, spacious and very well-appointed. It was about a 5 minute drive to the Convocation Center at Ohio University, very convenient. The hosts were quick to respond to emails and verveaccommodating

we liked everything about your place except backing out of driveway into road. would help if there was a way to turn around in the driveway.

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!

Perfectly convenient stay just a smidge outside of the hustle and bustle of Campus traffic!An adorable, comfortable & relaxing cabin-Bean’s place was perfect for our Bobcat family during move in. Everything you need with a little charming influence of Athens as well. We enjoyed the fire pit and cornhole boards as well as the quiet neighborhood overlooking Athens. Easy to get to OU in less than 15 minutes this stay is now at the top of our Trip list for the future.

A charming and cozy place, 8 min drive to campus. We appreciated how clean the house was, and the cozy fire pit with lots of firewood at the ready. I had coffee on the back porch and appreciated the quiet before heading to OU for the day and heading back to a clean and cozy place at night. Host was kind to offer trail suggestions for my toddler and responsive with all questions. Grateful for an easy and sweet weekend at Beans place !

Very nice cabin with no traffic. Road was very curvy. Beautiful views. Close to OU but in the country. Backyard cute but it rained the whole weekend. Kleenex was the only thing missing. Check out a breeze

Bean’s Place was the perfect stay for my family of three (husband and 10-year old son) while visiting Athens for the holidays! The cabin lived up to its “adorable” description, sited at the top of a ridge, with beautiful sunrise/sunsets over the valley below. The home was very clean, had all the basics we needed - including great coffee! - and the host was quick to offer restaurant recommendations. (Try the pizza from Avalanche) It’s less than a 10 minute drive to the OU campus and 30 minutes to Hocking Hills. Appreciated the benefit of a washer/dryer and fast internet! I highly recommend staying at Bean’s Place when in the area!

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.

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.

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.

From providing plenty of fluffy towels, several cozy throw blankets, the best stocked coffee/tea bar I've ever experienced in a rental, a washer and dryer for our Bobcat to do her laundry for free (she was thrilled!), fun ice cube trays along with stocked ice containers, a filtered water pitcher, extra wood for the adorable firepit area, indoor and outdoor games, so many great books -- I could go on and on!

I’m reluctant to share that I rented this cabin for OU Mom’s Weekend because I hope to score it again next year. The cabin is so cozy that my son opted to stay with me instead of on campus. He was thrilled that I could do his laundry there! It’s a quick 10 minutes to campus. The owners seemed to have thought of everything-a closet for corn hole, cleaning and laundry supplies, nice bath products, coffee/tea galore, local labeled photography, live plants and cute outdoor space. Will come back!

House was exactly as described and was perfect for our stay. I was surprised to find a drawer stocked with coffee basics and even a few oatmeal packs for a quick breakfast. There is an extra coffee maker if you prefer to bring your own coffe. I appreciated all the outdoor lighting.
