What we enjoy most about this area is the feeling of space and calm. You're close enough to town to pick up what you need, but far enough away to truly relax. Downtown Athens or Pomeroy is about 15-20 minutes away and full of local favorites, from cozy diners and coffee stops to antique stores and small town boutiques. Families love exploring the nearby parks, visiting the local farmers market, or taking scenic drives through the rolling hills in Meigs and Athens County. If your looking for a day outdoors, there are plenty of nearby options - hiking trails, fishing spots and places to picnic or let the kids run around. Strouds Run State Park, Forked Run State Park, Hocking Hills State Park, Athens Farmers Market, Dairy Barn Arts Center are all local favorites and a short drive from Pickett's Place.
