About this cottage rental

Creekside Cottage is a quiet, private gem nestled in the Appalachian foothills in a wooded country setting, yet only a 5 minute drive to Ohio University. It has a fully equipped kitchen, large deck with porch swing and outdoor furniture, fire pit, and hot tub. Bedrooms (one with a full bed, one with two twins, one with one twin bed) are equipped with quality mattresses and classic bedding. All linens are provided. Tastefully decorated, you'll find an extensive library of classic novels, historical biographies, photo illustrations, etc. AC and furnace will keep you comfortable no matter the season. Hot tub for relaxing at night and watching stars, or for that first cup of coffee in the morning. We think the surrounding beauty and nature's songs will take guests away from a hectic world for a short time. Cable and Wi-Fi are available. Cell phone reception varies; most guests find they can get an adequate signal.
Experience a historical college town and all it has to offer, and return to peaceful solitude, a comfortable bed, sounds of nature, and the simple comfort of a good nights sleep. Travelers will find this a delight!
Pets are welcome with a $25 fee. UNDISCLOSED PETS WILL INCUR A $100 FEE PER PET, PER NIGHT.
This is positively a NO TOBACCO environment beyond the fire pit and parking areas!
Our base rate covers two guests; additional guests are $25 per night, per guest, maximum 5 guests. Our base rate covers two guests; additional guests are $25/guest/night. UNDISCLOSED GUESTS WILL INCUR A $100 FEE PER GUEST, PER NIGHT.

This cottage is so neat. The antiques furnishings are beautiful. The location is perfect for visiting OU. We will want to stay again. With the unusually cold winter, we woke up with frozen pipes. The owner replied immediately when I sent a message. I just felt bad that we couldnt wash the dishes but they understood. Obviously, this was completely unexpected and not anything that was the owners fault. I appreciate the prompt response.

Our stay was cut short by a snowstorm but we enjoyed the house for the time we were there. Very cozy and quiet.

Very friendly and informative. House was hard to find in the dark. Instructions well written by host
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
It was conveniently located but wasn’t quite what we were expecting. The walk back to the house was unlit and covered with leaves. The WiFi password wasn’t correct on the site. And it was a little dated. The couch under the blanket in the living was worn and dirty. And the lack of regular tv was hard. Not alot to n just Roku tv. Everything else was ok. But the property needed a lot of work. Convenient and close to OU.
