A Surprisingly Great Stay

We flew out from Los Angeles to stay with family for Christmas. The family home was a little crowded so we opted to look for a nearby lodging option. I didn’t know what to expect but the place ended up being great. Lots of space. Great and easy instructions for the internet/check-in/check-out procedures. I look forward to staying here next year.

Why you should choose Shawnee, OH

What an experience. I’m giving five stars for everything and I will explain: The condo is in a good location to access numerous parks. I found this completely by accident, I had intended on staying in Hocking Hills. We walked to Wayne National Forest from the condo. We spent time at hocking hills, hiking to all the spots. It’s about a 30-40 min drive. We also spent time in Athens & Lancaster. The condo was clean, remodeled with a few quirks. Based on the opera house in town being built in 1881, I am assuming the condo was also built over 100 years ago. Quirky goes hand in hand. The town is being revitalized and I could not help but be happy to contribute my time and money to this small town in Ohio. If you Google or YouTube this town, the history associated is remarkable. If you are looking to be apart of history, supporting the creation of local jobs and restoring history, I would recommend. Bret is very responsive. He checked in to make sure all was well. And anytime I reached out, he messaged very quickly. The Black Diamond Tavern is very walkable, like directly next door. Hands down best small town bar/tavern. We ate dinner there three times. Food was great, prices were very reasonable, and music trivia was so fun! The condo was very reasonably priced, I felt like I paid appropriately (didn’t over or under pay). I am excited to follow the progress of this small town and look forward to seeing all that is accomplished in months and years ahead.

A history buff’s dream!

We loved everything about our stay! I’ve wanted to visit Shawnee for a while, when I saw this location on Vrbo, we immediately booked it for our girls getaway. The manager Amanda at the Black Diamond Tavern was very welcoming and helpful. Wing night was yummy and fun. The towns people are very friendly. Brett was very quick to respond and very helpful. Definitely a 10 out of 10 awesome experience for us! :)

Nice, clean, quiet little town. Full of interesting old buildings. The rental was a great space, very roomy, nice, well kept, well equipped. We would definitely stay here again. We was in town to see some caves and waterfalls. It did not disappoint.

Beautiful and large apartment in Shawnee. We walked the town and had dinner at the Black Diamond bar. Live entertainment, Randy Gleason (I think) was EXTREMELY TALENTED. Nice hub for Hocking Hills and surrounding area.

The directions were a bit confusing. We went to the wrong door. Also we could not get the door to lock when we would leave the property. We were told it would automatically lock but it never did. The gentleman we were dealing with was very nice. I believe the building needs an exterminator as well.

Great little gem of a town. We can't wait to see how it grows. We wanted a quiet place near Hocking Hills for our anniversary weekend. That is exactly what we got. The apartment was great. Not far from the activities. It was clean and updated. Highly recommend staying here.

Removed from the crowd in Shawnee

Shawnee is a great place to stay that gets you away from the Hocking Hill tourism without being too far from the state park. Additionally, there are multiple other hikes, parks, rides near to Shawnee that allow you to enjoy the beauty of the area. The accommodations were more than we expected! Great place to stay, especially if you have a family and want to spread out. The folks at the Black Diamond Tavern were welcoming and helpful, too!

Charming

We thought this little Mining town was charming and we loved the history. We had a chance to run on the local trails and walk through the village. It was certainly unique, and we love to visit different places. I would definitely recommend the Black Diamond if you want an experience. People were so friendly and accommodating. We only had one issue which was resolved promptly. Thank you for the hospitality!

Review of Shawnee, Oh. Property ID 2162583

The condo was very clean and newly renovated. The property was exactly as described and the owner (Brett) was a pleasure to deal with. I know the property is still under renovation and as a suggestion and maybe this is planned, but the bathroom could use towel bars/holders. I would definitely stay here again and some friends have asked about the place so they may be interested as well. Thanks again Brett.
