No communication from just about check in. Would not answer messages or phone calls. Had to find another place to stay in the middle of nowhere at 8:00 at night. At least the corporate office refunded our stay.

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.

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! :)

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.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Shawnee, and without a doubt, we’ll be back! The owner was very accommodating and communicated with us whenever we had a question. Also, loved the Tavern that’s close by! They had music, and it was a lot of fun!

3 day weekend getaway. Property was very well equipped making it feel like a home during visit rather then a typical rental. Unique in style and location. Enjoyed it immensely

We stayed here two nights over the weekend. When returning from our horseback riding we had a giant camper backed in literally right outside our window and entrance. There are ZERO window coverings here and the owner had the people there as part of Harvest Host which was never disclosed. We felt like we had zero privacy (which was the entire point of our trip) and ended up leaving early. The location was oversold a little. The only thing to do in the little town is go to their bar and apparently stare at campers. I would have never picked this location had I know we’d be sharing space. Would’ve rather got a cabin.

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.

Got stuck doing the laundry for 3 hours when we got there. Towels, bedding were not ready. Also emptied dishwasher. Contacted owner for some type of credit ...none given. 1st Vrbo and probably our last. Thought all that stuff was taken care of.

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!

Pulled into the property, door was open and worker next-door was coming out of our unit after cleaning paint brushes in our sink, walked into over 50 flies in the living area and had to kill them and clean the sinks. Next day came back to condo with another worker coming out of our condo after being told by his boss that he could use our bathroom, cleaned bathroom and kitchen again after outsiders in condo, called mgmt. and they tried to apologize by providing us with a gift certificate at the local tavern (food was good, people friendly) The place is nice inside and spacious, but we did not feel safe knowing the workers had our code for the door. I hope they clear up this issue so that no one else experiences this.

8.0 / 10.0

The experience was good. We would have never figured out how to find the entrance without the property manager giving us specific instructions. The place was nice. Apartment converted from an old building. There are no shades or curtains to the many windows. Luckily no one called the police because we walked around and are skivvies a lot

We usually get a cabin, but was suuuuper intrigued by the listing and the history. It was perfect. Close to hiking and the lake. Grocery not too far. The Black Diamond Tavern was AMAZING. Best bourbon selection I’ve ever seen and I love 30 minutes from the Bourbon Trail! I’m still craving the burger I had. Host is top notch. Cannot wait to come back with our kids to see what else they’ve done.

This VRBO had plenty of room for 4 adults and the pictures were spot on as to what you see on line. Communication with Josh and Bret as great - very quick to respond to questions we had. Plenty of plates/bowls and glasses for use in the kitchen as well as towels for use in the bathroom. We have a couple of pans we liked to cook with, so we brought our own. We would definitely stay here again.

Removed from the crowd in Shawnee

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!

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.

What a lovely spacious apartment for a staycation!! My fiance and I enjoyed getting out of town for a very relaxing weekend. The Black Diamond Tavern was perfect for a simple Friday night with dinner and drinks. Bonus - we were gifted a bottle of wine for making our reservation with VRBO!! We attended Second Saturday and we were pleased with the food truck's fair as well as the locals selling chocolate dipped pretzels! Overall, we had everything needed inside the apartment. It was immaculate and well stocked with kitchen gear. The openness of the rooms and the exposed windows were stunning! Very impressed with our stay! Only one inquiry was made to the host and I was pleasantly surprised with his very prompt reply and helpfulness!

This was a quick weekend away for our 14 yr anniversary. Truthfully we did lots of sleeping and sitting in the peace and quiet! Hahaha! The place was a bit hard to find at first and our phone didn’t have service and of course we had been listening to true crime podcasts the entire trip up… lol but it was a great adventure. The town was adorable and the people were friendly, wish we could have stayed a few more days to enjoy the surrounding areas and got in some hiking but it was a memorable time and would definitely recommend!

We were in the area for a few days of hiking/climbing and this was a perfect space to wind down. Beautifully renovated and spacious- 5 in our party and Plenty of room. Just steps from the recently renonvated Black Diamond Tavern where we ate(and drank) Every night. SUPER CONVENIENT. Would Definitely stay here again

Don't be fooled by the area surrounding this property - it's an old mining town that has been neglected but is being revitalized. When you open the door to the condo you'll be pleasantly surprised! It's spacious and beautifully remodeled. We were looking for privacy and quiet, and we found it. We were looking to not spend a ton of money on expensive hotels (willing to make some of our own meals), and this was perfect! We were looking for an area with interesting history and nearby attractions, and this fit that bill too. The condo was also very clean (kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms) except for these two items: the floor could have been cleaner, and there was a huge spider web in one of the windows. Things that are minor but would make the condo perfect would be window coverings in the front windows; towel bars, a hook, and a small bench in the bathroom; a decent skillet and medium sized saucepan in the kitchen. And the condo can sleep 6, but there were dishes for only 4.

Great Accommodations in a Historic Town

Great Accommodations in a Historic Town

The apartment was spacious, clean, and in a great location in the heart of historic Shawnee. The Black Diamond Tavern next door is convenient with great food and drink options, and it was a short walk to nearby trails for hiking. Bret was friendly and quick to respond to all messages, making sure I had everything I needed for the stay. The apartment also had good, reliable WiFi, which was important since I didn't have any cell service in the area. I would definitely consider revisiting Shawnee and staying here again in the future!

47th Wedding Anniversary Harley Getaway Weekend

Being from Cleveland, a regular ole city, going to a little mining town that's not quite flourishing as it was when mining was big took a bit of adjustment. Seeing all the buildings with broken windows and roofs in disrepair was a little disconcerting. However, the people were so friendly and helpful and the neighboring areas were such a pleasure to ride (drive) through to get to areas to hike, that it made us feel like we were in paradise. The accommodations were more than expected. The apartment was new, clean and HUGE. This is our sixth VRBO rental - let me say you will be very happy you came to this place. Grant was a wealth of information.

Comfortable Stay

Comfortable Stay

The apartment itself was comfortable and clean, though it seemed that it might still be under renovation. The listing didn't describe the surrounding area as you and coming and there were many building in disrepair, though it was clear that someone is working on bringing the town back to life. The building attached to our rental was in disrepair which was a little concerning with our small children. It was a little difficult to find the entry to our rental but the host was quick to communicate and we got in successfully. Overall, the stay was comfortable and the host was gracious. The price was great and reflected some of the issues with the surroundings mentioned above. I would stay here again.
