Wonderful staff, beautiful house, an overall joy of a weekend. Everything was clean and well maintained, had a charming atmosphere and a lovely breakfast and amenities. Will definitely consider going back!.
Stayed at Primrose House for Mom's Weekend at Ohio University (April 2022). Because all of the hotels around Athens were sold out, I ventured into my first ever B&B experience and boy, was I skeptical. But I needn't have been.
The house was spotless and beautifully furnished with antiques, and our room (the Lane room at the top of the stairs) was spacious and comfortable, with an attached full bathroom. The shower/sink had instant hot water, which was DIVINE. There is off-street parking in the lot behind the house, or on-street parking.
Our host Angel cooked a delicious breakfast each morning (fresh oatmeal, bacon, coffee cake, fruit, etc.) and was so pleasant. I will be back and I highly recommend.
The only reason I didn't make this a 5 star rating was that we were only allotted one set of keys for the house/room. Since my friend and I were going separate ways with our kiddos at OU, we had juggle our schedules to make sure we arrived back at the B&B at about the same time. A very minor inconvenience.

Such a nice place! They had everything we needed!.
The Lodge at Double Play Ranch is a beautiful cabin on a huge property with plenty of room for large groups. It has everything you would need to cook and entertain for a long stay. The property is nicely wooded with plenty of shade and a perfect flat mowed area outside the patio for several cornhole games.
Although the lake was very muddy, we were able to catch carp and catfish. The lake also has easy access to drive down and launch a small canoe or kayak. We had reservations to go into town one night, but loved the cabin so much, we never left.
Bernie, the property manager, was easy to contact and always available to answer questions and make the stay enjoyable..
