Building on Brian's review...Whistlestop was the perfect location for a quick getaway to Hocking…read moreHills. We only stayed one night, but this stop would also work well for a longer visit. Whistlestop is located at the end of a dirt road (literally off the beaten trail), so don't be too worried if you wonder if you're going the right way--keep going back the road and it's just over an old rail line. The B&B is the basement of an old farm house and the room is spacious. As Brian mentioned, the room had a queen size bed, couch, working fireplace, pool table, kitchenette, and private bath. The owners, Sherry and Mike, were a delightful couple and we had a chance to peak into their beautifully renovated kitchen and meet their lovable boxer, Lucy. Tons of snacks to pick from, but easily the best were the homemade sticky buns and chocolate chip cookies. Sherry stocked the fridge and pantry with breakfast items for the next day (yogurt, fruit, oatmeal, breakfast bowls). Brian enjoyed a couple rounds of pool while I feasted on several hours of HGTV's "Property Brothers" on the biggest flat-screen TV I've seen in someone's house (60-inch?). The bed was cozy, covered with beautiful colored linens, and I think if you wanted to leave the blinds open, you could wake to a beautiful sunrise amongst the nearby trees. I woke up early Sunday morning to do a bit of reading and enjoy a cup of tea by the fireplace. Perfection. Since we were there in late March, we didn't get to enjoy this amenity, but there is a fire pit so you can make some s'mores (yes, they provide all the fixings for that too). I need to ask Brian when we can go again...it was a great weekend to unplug and just relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of Columbus. (although, they have free Wifi, just in case you need it :) )

I was expecting to see it from the road but if you look close you will see a sign, then you turn and follow the road down and around and you will find it. Virginia's house is on one side and the log house on the other. We stayed in the downstairs room. It was huge and clean and comfortable. The entire log house has interesting decor and is super cute. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The property is large and fun to wander around. The location is great because you are close to Columbus and to nearby hiking and outdoor recreational areas.

We stayed in Room 2 on the second floor, very handsomely appointed in aqua and coffee tones, with silver accents. The room was lovely and very comfortable, both the bedroom and the en suite bathroom. I enjoyed reading a book in the chair by the window. The backyard was another highlight. There is a small deck, a fireplace, an English-style walking garden, and a main seating area with candles and comfortable camp chairs. In warm weather, it's perfect either for unwinding or for extending a gathering at the end of the day. Apparently the proprietor brings food in the morning? I was not awake in time to witness this; perhaps it is the breakfast fairy. In any case, the spread was noteworthy: besides the drinks, snacks, yogurt, fruit, and cereal available around the clock, there were uncooked eggs, miniature bagels, coffee cake or banana bread, and a variety of seasonal fruit. No matter how heterogeneous your group, everyone will find something to satisfy him- or herself. Sometimes it's the little things--such as the rubber duck in the shower stall, the small fish tank on the kitchen counter, and the soft jazz CD playing in the living room on our arrival. There was a basket of highly watchable DVD movies and a shelf of local-interest books. But the important things stand out too: the entire place was immaculate and the proprietors seem to take good care of both the property and the guests. This is a very strong 4.5. Some of our housemates were staying there for the third time, and I would not hesitate to return with them next time.

I had the most amazing time! Beautiful room, lovely shared common area, responsive hosts/staff. My…read morefriend and I were going to hit a bar after dinner, but once we checked in we decided we'd rather come back, change into robes, eat the complimentary cookies and popcorn, and watch Top Gun (one of the many DVDs available)! The kitchen has filtered water from the fridge, keurig coffee, microwave, and dishes. There are snacks like popcorn, crackers, yogurt, and cereal available all day. In the morning, they put out a fresh pastry (different and delicious each day!), toast, beautiful fresh fruit, and hard boiled eggs. The room had a hair dryer, bar soap, makeup wipes, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. We also had a smart tv so I could log into my own Hulu account. There is a pretty park and lots of little shops and restaurants within walking distance, including a major grocery store. Could not have imagined a better place...I wish I lived there!

Pros: - Affordable and in fairly close proximity to Hocking…read moreHills. - Rooms are fine. - Fairly well-maintained and clean historical house. Cons: - B&B is unstaffed; you have to get keys from a local business. - House is constantly unlocked and does not feel like it is in a safe location (we witnessed someone who wasn't a guest pounding on the front door to be let in). - Hot tub is in a terrible state and seems to exist merely so the B&B can claim to have one. - Breakfast leaves much to be desired and seems to be an effort to check the "breakfast" box off while spending the bare minimum on breakfast. - Nelsonville is not a good location and doesn't have much to offer. In short unless you need somewhere to simply sleep in for cheap, pass on this location. I'd recommend just paying a little bit extra to stay either in Athens or at one of the resorts closer to Hocking Hills.

Great Bed and Breakfast in Nelsonville!…read more We stayed a night in a dogwood room, the room was awesome, I love the bathroom and bathtub, but it was cold. Everything was so clean and cozy, the room was cold too but they have a small fire place and soft blanket:) Another good thing is they have a lot of towels! The best part is HOMEMADE BREAKFAST! I love everything on the table! They offer buffet style homemade breakfast: the scramble egg was my favorite, I love when there's no milk, just egggggggyummmm! BUT! The homemade biscuit was so good too and gravy sausage, what should I say, everything was so good and delicious. The owner was so nice too! But I wish they can keep the breakfast line longer from 8-10? I'll go back to Nelsonville again just to stay at this place

As soon as we found out, my wife called and was told that it was no problem, that there is a waiting list, and once it is cancelled, we would get a refund. We would be charged a $35 fee, though. Having not yet received a confirmation email, my wife called again, asking about the refund. And she talked to a very rude person who said we were not getting a refund because it included a holiday. Also snapped "it is clearly written in the confirmation" several times and completely ignored the question of someone previously giving us false information. The excuse was "I am a small business and need to survive"... but rings very hollow because there is no doubt it was re-rented, in fact, she is double dipping and making twice the money. Nice little racket, if you ask me. While I did miss the holiday clause in the confirmation (which was made 35 days before the arrival date, so not much time to cancel), the fact that we were told we were getting a refund is a huge problem. If we were told the truth, we would have made arrangements to at least partially attend. And if this is the way they treat customers, I am wondering if I didn't dodge a bullet by not going. Needless to say, I will never patronize this business.

My boyfriend & I were recently in Columbus to visit with his family and had heard about a hidden…read moregem, a little bed & breakfast in his hometown. We decided to give it a shot seeing as how it was in a prime location and you just could not beat the rates when compared to the chain hotels. The following is a review of our stay in this charming accommodation. After a smooth flight from Orlando, we were greeted by our hosts who provide free round trip shuttle service to the local airports. Their adorable dog, a dachshund named Patti, keeps you company on the ride..(here's a tip, she loves to curl up in a travel pillow so if you have one, make sure to share!). When we arrived at the bed & breakfast we unloaded our bags and were led to our room. We had chosen the 'Basement Oasis' room as it was their largest suite complete with full bath and mini bar. There was definitely plenty of room for us to settle in and not feel cramped as you so often do in typical hotel rooms. Everything was meeting our expectations until we opened the media cabinet only to discover that our television had a screen not much larger than my smart phone. Thankfully I had brought my iPad along on the trip or things could have gotten ugly pretty quickly. We unpacked our things and headed upstairs to chat with our hosts before heading out. We were informed that there was an abundance of baked goods for us whenever we were hungry..I highly recommend the apple pie! Our hosts even informed us that they had an extra vehicle for us to borrow if we felt so inclined. Naturally, we took them up on this offer. In return we helped them put up their Christmas tree as a thank you for such a kind gesture. We even offered to cook a meal for some friends & family of theirs and ours..boy, did that guest list get long quickly! It was quite a success and everyone had a lovely time. Our trip was wonderful filled with lots of family time and meeting my boyfriend's nephew who was by far the cutest and best part of the entire trip! On our last day we were met in the morning with a lovely breakfast and a reading of the Christmas story from Good Book. After breakfast we were asked to strip our beds which we felt was an unusual request seeing as how we were their guests but we gladly did so seeing as how kind they had been. We loaded up our bags, exchanged goodbyes & were even given fresh citrus for our flight home. Overall, I would highly recommend this quaint B&B to anyone visiting this area. The hosts have a plethora of ideas for ways to fill your day and don't forget to explore the coupon book for discounts to local eateries! I know we'll be staying here again, so should you!

Not best about 2am ha ha. But really nice place overall.

My wife and I decided to spend our ten year anniversary in a cabin in the Hocking Hills area. I…read morespent a few hours combing through all of the options online trying to find the one that looked like it would best suit our personal tastes. As soon as I saw the pictures for Bit Of Country I was sure it would be the one. I was so correct! We stayed for the weekend in the Three Oaks Cabin. The day prior to our departure a large snow storm hit dropping about 6 inches on the area. So we were worried about making it in safely. Thankfully the roads were cleared by then and we made it to the property with no issues. The drive from the road to the inn and cabins is steep and had luckily been cleared off as well. Even in the best of weather it could be tricky to get up there so a small car might have some issues. John was just outside the barn as we drove up. He waved to us and greeted us with a welcoming smile. He directed us to the cabin and walked us in to show us everything and answer any questions we had. He was extremely polite and welcoming and made sure that we had plenty of firewood our whole stay. The cabin is perfect. When I hear the word cabin, this is exactly the image I picture. Hard wood floors throughout, Exposed beams and panels, and a large loft above. And of course a large stone wood burning fireplace! The large stone fireplace is on the right as you walk in. There are two recliners and a couch around the fireplace and a TV (Dish TV), VCR, DVD player in the corner. There is also a CD player and radio on the other corner. All the chairs and sofa are plush and comfortable. There is a wardrobe to hang up coats and holds a few board games; Scrabble, Connect Four and Battleship. To the left is a bed and the kitchen area to the rear of the cabin. The cabinets in the kitchen are all rustic looking and cabin perfect. The kitchen has everything you should need. Microwave, stove, oven, refrigerator, coffee maker and toaster all worked perfectly. There are plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans, and utensils for your use. Just past the kitchen is the bathroom. The shower tub is full sized and water pressure was good and hot for the duration of our stay. Plenty of towels in the cabinet as well. There is a also a gas heater on the back wall by the back door. It works VERY WELL. The upstairs loft has two single beds and two double beds. And it was much warmer than the rest of the cabin. Almost too hot. Thankfully there is a box fan and a ceiling fan to keep it from being overbearing. Hot air does indeed rise people. The hot tub is on the back porch and is covered. It worked perfectly and was clean as a whistle. As was the whole cabin. As with anywhere when it got really cold at night there were a few drafty places but nothing sitting by the fireplace couldn't alleviate! One note is that there is no cell phone service there. John said if you walked to the top of the hill in front of the cabin you can get a signal but I did not test that. They also have Wi-Fi at the main house/B&B that all guests are welcome to use. Not available in the cabins though. I recommended just turning the cell phones off and enjoy being disconnected for a little bit! Bit of Country cabins is a wonderful place to get away from it all and enjoy a relaxing retreat. I can't wait to return one day!
