Gravel driveway and surrounding yard was well maintained. Entry into the home was easy and the interior was immaculate. Very impressed with the details of this cozy cabin. 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.
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.
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.
Just what we were looking for to spend somequality time with our two Bobcats! Bean’splace was very clean, extremely cozy, and well stocked. The hosts were super responsive! Thanks!
This cabin is a sweet and beautiful place. A lot of extra surprises and amenities This is such a beautiful wooded area to stay and relax by the fire pit.
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.
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
So welcoming and comfortable and every little detail considered : the coffee/tea/snack drawer , games to play, and firewood provided. Thank you for a great weekend.
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.
The home had everything necessary for a stay, plus some extras such as board games, corn hole and a fire pit to make the trip a great time.

We had booked it for 5 days, we left after one night because It was the middle of winter and there wasn’t any heat, didn’t get above 58 degrees. I only received a partial refund, I would have given the full amount back. Wouldn’t recommend in the cold weather months
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
This cabin was a great place to stay. It was nice to be able to spend time with our daughter, and still see the campus. It was very crowded on campus so we decided to stay in on Saturday night, had a fire and played games. I would definitely stay at this cabin again.
Perfect location. Fire pit & out door space & games were perfect. The little extras inside the house including coffee & tea station, water filter pitcher and bathroom amenities were perfect. We will be staying here again!
Beautiful, clean, cozy, lots of great games, and fun to be had in the private back yard area. We also enjoyed the Coffee and Tea Bar, so many choices. Thank you Karl & Eileen.
Terrific place for a quiet getaway but close enough to town if you need something or don't feel like cooking. Very clean with the best drink station (coffee, tea, cocoa) in anyplace we have stayed. Yard games outside were fun to have. Would recommend to others for a secluded relaxing getaway but with all the comforts of home.

Very nice cabin. It was clean and well kept. If we are in the area again we would definitely stay here. Located in a quiet neighborhood but also had easy access to anything that you might need (gas, groceries, restaurants, movies etc). Nice outdoor game area. Great kitchen.
Easy to see why Bean's Place is rated "EXCEPTIONAL"
We feel lucky to have happened upon this most cozy of cottages. There is so much to delight in, but what comes to mind first is the warm entry decorated with seasonal lights, the window boxes of flowers, the beautiful, quality throws on each bed and the surprise treasure of chocolates in the canister on the kitchen table. It rained our whole trip, preventing us from enjoying the outside, but the inside was so nice that we still felt like we were winning. We hope to have the chance to stay again!
We enjoyed our stay at Beans Place. Very comfortable With all that is needed in the kitchen, nice to have full size washer/dryer and so much more. 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!
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.
