Top Waterloo State Forest Hotel Reviews

Serenity Gardens located in the Rolling Hills of Appalachia Ohio

8/10 Good

"This house is beautiful and very clean. The yard is well maintained and the fire pit is gorgeous! The kitchen is clean and has plenty of counter space. The porches are wonderful! The bed is comfortable. The hosts were easy to work with and the house is equipped with pretty much everything you would need. The towels are fluffy, and having the washer and dryer are a great bonus. It also has a dishwasher which was a nice touch. It has plenty of dishes and flatware. The grill is great. It is not secluded. There is a three unit apartment right next door and approximately seven farm houses in close proximity. The hot tub is on the front porch in full view of the apartments next door, and everyone who comes down the driveway, and doesn’t work well. All that being said, it is a great place. We had a wonderful and pleasant experience. We recommend this place for anyone looking to be close to Athens."

Serene Rural Retreat w/ Stunning Views - Just a short drive from hiking and OU!

10/10 Excellent

"It was more than I imagined. A very nice clean cabin feeling with all the amenities you could hope for. The kitchen was amazing and well equipped. The place was immaculately clean. Beds and towels were fresh. I want to know what fabric softener on the towels! It smelled so good. I loved the walk in shower with down on the farm flare. It was the end of the summer and I would have loved to have seen all the wild flowers etc blooming. We travelled with my dog and he’s a big boy and so many places are “no way” but this place is very dog friendly and don’t discriminate a breed or a large dog. There is a fenced area if you wanted to take off leash too! My old pooch just was happy with walking around. Loved the doggy poo bag station right by the door. Very convenient for proper and expected clean up. We will definitely book again. It was a much needed quiet getaway. Loved that it was “off the beaten path”. We didn’t take advantage of the fire pit but we will next time. We basically got there on a Wednesday very late and never left until Saturday. We took a quick visit to the Paw Paw festival in Nelsonville. The owner/manager was quick with responding to any questions we had. I was truly sad to have to pack up and leave. This is a gem of a place and I am already trying to figure out when we can stay again. I really can’t praise this place any more besides thank you, Greg, for the sharing your wondeful place with us. Kim, Curtiss & Chase"

We did notice that the door knobs on the entrance door were loose and need tightened.The ceiling fans in the kitchen were filthy, also found a load of someone’s bedding in the dryer.
