A Dreamy Anniversary Escape in the Woods
For our 19th wedding anniversary, we sought a place that felt like a world away from our daily noise—a retreat where our little family of five could slow down, spread out, and savor the rare kind of quiet that only nature can provide. This Athens, Ohio gem did all that and more.From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel like old friends rather than first-time guests. Kind, thoughtful, and deeply accommodating, they’ve curated a space that isn’t just a rental—it’s a warm invitation to breathe deeper, laugh louder, and reconnect.The house itself is both spacious and cozy, elegant yet unfussy. Every corner was beautifully appointed, and we never once felt crowded—no small feat with three kids ages 15, 8, and 3 in tow! Our teenager staked out the loft reading nook, where many rounds of Uno were waged beneath the soft glow of the lamp light. Our littlest was endlessly delighted by the open layout, and all three had space to be themselves.At night, I curled up by the fire ring with a ghosty thriller, and—no lie—had to turn around more than once with goosebumps prickling my neck. The woods whisper just enough to make your imagination dance. Meanwhile, my husband took our boys on hikes and mini climbs, showing them the kind of nature that skyscrapers and sidewalks just can't offer.This place is magic—secluded yet convenient, beautiful yet deeply livable. If you’re on the fence, hop off it and book. You won’t regret it.
