We did a regular guided…read moretour first and the second time I brought my sister and niece with us for a guided flashlight tour. Before the tour, the group is gathered in the gift shop while you wait on everyone to arrive. The gift shop is filled with spooky gifts, apparel and Knick knacks that, as a lover of Halloween myself, it's hard to say no to. The ladies who give the tour are dressed up adorably to fit in with the time period of the mansion. They are knowledgeable and informative and are happy to answer any questions about the mansion and the spirits that reside in it. The hidden Marietta tours are one of the main reasons why Marietta, Ohio stays on top of my favorite spooky cities to visit.

Our guide (I can't remember her name but had red hair) was very friendly, silly and informative. She said it was her first time doing the tour alone but did a fabulous job despite having to look at reference cards a few times. I genuinely loved her personality and liked the tour wasn't super serious, I felt like I could ask a question at any point. My husband and I grew up in the area and both enjoy learning hidden facts about the town. We will go on another closer to Halloween I'm sure!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Jesse Owens! The cabins are exceptionally beautiful, the area is…read moreserene, and the amenities were beyond what we expected. Our family is used to rustic-style tent camping; however, we decided to shake it up a bit and try a cabin. When searching for campsites, we saw that these new, modern cabins were available and decided to give them a try. All I can say is WOW!!! These cabins blew us away, from their architecture to the amenities we were provided, they felt luxurious. Closer to an AirBNB than a cabin. We didn't need half of what we packed, as provided for us were towels, pots, pans, utensils, silverware, dinnerware, potholders, firewood, etc. We stayed in cabin 1 and were able to bring our 2 dogs with us. They had a blast walking around the campsite (we walked down the RV and tent camping areas too). While there is limited wi-fi in the cabins (doesn't quite reach the bedrooms) and satellite TV, there is no cell service. For us, this was ideal as we enjoy disconnecting from technology for a bit, but we wanted to share in case this would concern anyone looking to stay. When leaving, you can use the provided broom and dustpan to straighten up a bit. We left any used towels in the bathroom, returned all dishes to their respective places after cleaning, and took our trash to the dumpster. If you have time, we highly recommend checking out the Appalachian Hills Visitor Center for the bison, Big Muskie, and The Wilds! Overall, we had an amazing time, and we are already planning our next stay! This cabin may have made "glampers" out of this rustic family!

We stayed at the new (April 2026) Frank Lloyd Wright style cabins. The 2 bedroom cabins are…read moregorgeous! There are 10 cabins and each appear slightly different. All have similar design and unique artistic flair. Fully furnished, nice comfortable furniture and they thought of almost everything. The kitchen had most everything you might need. Missing paper towels/napkins, wine glasses, ice cube trays, grill utensils. Our cabin, # 8, had nice bedrooms, comfortable beds and linens. Closets but no hangers. Bathroom modern and spacious. Plenty of towels but no shower soap or shampoo, so be sure to bring your own. A little odd that a couple of hall windows facing the parking lot had no window coverings. Two bedrooms share a bathroom so you had to walk through the hall to access bathroom, right past the viewing windows. Covered outdoor dining area was super nice. The only downside was there wasn't much to do. We were hoping for nice hiking trails in the park but they don't have developed trails. There may be some a short drive away but the ones we tried were not well kept, narrow with lots of poison ivy. Fairly close to The Wilds so it would be a great place for families to stay. They do have two pickleball courts, and a basketball hoop. No pool. WiFi in cabin but cell service is sketchy while driving through the area. Be prepared and download directions and info before you leave the cabin.

We had made reservations 2 months earlier, letting them know we would be about 8:30pm or so to get there from Akron/Canton area. Upon arrival... nothing but confusion with the owner,( that happens when your 3 sheets to the wind!!) He had no clue we had reserved 4 rooms and kept asking, how many? He called an employee to go and get a couple rooms ready for us 2 guys had to stay in the same room, really Charles?? He then offered us some drinks, we declined the offer because none of us drink! He then told us our stay was free because they had messed up! We did stay because we were tired from the day and the ride down plus the fact there is nothing else in the area. Next morning we waited on our free breakfast after 45 minutes of waiting the morning person told us the cook had not even come in yet at 9:15. We packed up and left, went elsewhere for Breakfast. I've stayed many times in the past with my wife and some friends on Fall Motorcyle trips, they have been remodeling forever. We are planning another trip this Summer and I am booking our stay 60miles from Well Inn, to bad I've enjoyed the area. So Long Wells Inn, Never Again!! Jerry
