Weekend Getaway

Tommy House was so cozy and comfy for our little family! Lena was a great host, very responsive throughout the start of my booking. We came for a last minute trip to do some hiking and Tommy house was a clean, comfortable space to be at! Also very accommodating for us bringing our toddler! We had all we needed for our stay! Favorite spot was the deck and the views from it! Thanks again!

Ideal for a getaway

We loved staying here! The house was clean and well kept up, and the view out back was tremendous - it backs on to a huge tree-lined ravine and a state forest (I can only imagine what it's like in the fall when the leaves change colors). The location is fairly remote which is perfect for a getaway with peace and quiet, but close enough to the Hocking Hills to make for some good sightseeing. There's a grocery store about 15 (?) minutes down the road as well. The host (Lena) was easy to communicate with and went out of her way to fix the wifi right after we checked in, and made sure we had everything we needed. I definitely recommend a stay here!

We took it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway!

What a wonderful spot! It was clean, tidy, and incredibly cozy. Everything we could've wanted was provided, and we had a fantastic time! The view was incredible, and would've been even more amazing in spring or fall. Lena was super responsive, welcoming, and kind. A wonderful house with a very special story.

About the host

Hosted by Lena Hays

I grew up in Vinton County and it's been home my whole life. Lake Hope and raccoon creek were always my favorite places to be. I've traveled all over the U.S and some countries outside of the U.S. but there truly is no place like home. So when I got the chance to share our county with others there was no question that it's what I wanted to do. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

I love the springtime when all the flowers are blooming and the woods are waking up from the winter, the summer nights hanging out around the campfire, even in autumn when all the maples are firey red and yellow or the peacefulness of the snow covering the ground. I couldnt imagine being anywhere else but here. It's so relaxing looking out over the woods from the deck while drinking your morning coffee.

What makes this property unique

It's a hidden gem, quiet cozy comfy and clean. With many things to do within a few minutes drive. From hunting and fishing to hiking or shopping to horseback riding .
