Mattress was comfortable. The noise from the bar area and upstairs could get loud at times. It usually settled down around 10 pm. We had the Friday dinner which was really good. They offer a Saturday breakfast buffet which is small but nice. They have an amazing selection of games to play. My biggest takeaway would be next time I'd stay in a cabin because of the noise level. It was a fun stay.

Tucked into the woods near to Hocking Hills, Ravenwood Castle is a surprise even if you already…read moreknow what you're getting yourself into. One minute you're driving along backroads in Ohio and then BAM, you're starting at a medieval castle. Ravenwood Castle is well known for its focus on games of all kinds - board games, social deduction games, scavenger hunts - you name it, they have it. My mom and I came for a special weekend where they were hosting a murder mystery. Put on by a separate company, but hosted within Ravenwood Castle, our murder mystery experience started on Friday night and ran through Sunday morning. We worked in teams to solve the mystery and along the way participated in goofy and quirky games and puzzles to help us score points. When you stay, you can eat on site, or you can book a cabin and bring & prepare food in a small kitchenette. Alternatively, there are a few places you can order from / go out to in the surrounding areas, but nothing is particularly close by because the castle is in a remote area. While I found the food to be mediocre, the beer and whiskey selection is great, and a surprise stand out was their version of butterbeer, which is dangerously chuggable. If you're someone who loves board games and wants a weekend away to connect with friends or family, this is a great place to go!

So, being a fan, I couldn't say no. We went on a Friday and stayed until Sunday in the Dalia. They have four place with a Hobbit feel and others that are more Moroccan in their feel. It's a pretty big place a very close to lots of hiking areas as well as places to eat in Logan. You'll need a passcode to get into the places so you can't simply speak "friend" and enter. Each place has its own cedar hot tub which we definitely indulged in nightly. There's a sauna there too but you have to pay extra. We really enjoyed our place but we did have a minor issue with the kitchen area. There's no oven but just a two burner cooktop which is a little tricky to operate. We figured it out after a while. Still, overall, we really enjoyed our stay, and the owners were easy to contact if we needed anything. This made for a great weekend getaway and one any LOTR fan would surely love. You'll feel like you're staying in The Shire waiting for Gandalf to arrive precisely when he means to.

These homes are hobbit style homes. Only 11 miles from Hocking Hills downtown area and hiking. This property has half Moroccan style homes and other half hobbit style. We booked online and it was smooth checking in. The owners were very detailed with instructions/rules of the property and left their number incase we had any questions. I was impressed how the inside is inviting and cozy. The beds are comfortable, love the bathroom shower, the fire pit and grill area. And last the hot tub, we definitely took advantage of using it quite often! It wasn't too hot and was comfortable. The sauna is an extra charge if you want to partake. My only con is the dining room. The chairs were not leveled with the table so we had to eat in the living room. And last, if you like to cook, they don't have an oven and they have a small electric stove which was a challenge to figure how to turn off. Overall, My Mr and I had a wonderful stay. I would definitely come back and try another style home. It was a much needed weekend getaway.

We called again to see if their insurance would cover it and it went on def ears. A little google research indicated that Athens Ohio is infested with bed bugs - unbeknown to us at the time but quite sure the locals are aware of it, let along the hospitality inns. My advice is, STAY AWAY FROM THERE!

I am an OU alumna and sad to write this review. I have chosen the OU Inn for years -- not because…read moreit's the most modern option (it isn't), not because it's the closest to campus (it isn't), and not because the rooms justify the price gouging that comes with Mom's Weekend (they don't). I chose it for the nostalgia... and the sense that as a member of the OU community, this was my hotel. I won't be making that mistake again. Here's what happened: I booked a room for Mom's Weekend 2026 a full year in advance -- because that's what you have to do when a hotel decides that one weekend a year justifies a $500/night rate. Fine. Supply and demand - I get it. What I didn't get was any reminder. Every hotel I've stayed at across the world -- and I travel frequently -- sends a "We're looking forward to seeing you this week" days before check-in. The OU Inn, apparently, has not discovered this technology. Instead, I received a reminder email at 7:10 PM -- after check-in had already passed. Not so useful. When I called and acknowledged my own mistake -- I genuinely did forget -- I wasn't asking for a free pass. I asked only to cancel the second night, understanding I'd eat the cost of the first. The response? A rigid recitation of the 48-hour cancellation policy by River at the front desk. On a sold-out Mom's Weekend. When hotels in Athens are turning people away for months before. The idea that they couldn't rebook that room -- on the busiest weekend of the year -- is either dishonest or incompetent. And then the cherry on top: I received a cancellation confirmation email Saturday morning, which gave me genuine hope that someone with a pulse had reviewed my situation and done the right thing. Nope. Turns out the system auto-cancelled when I missed check-in -- and then staff **manually re-entered my reservation knowing full well I wasn't coming.** That is not a clerical error. That is a choice. I have kids at OU now. I will be making the trip from California multiple times a year for the next three years. I was fully prepared to be a reliable, repeat customer -- someone who picks the OU Inn on principle, even when better options exist. That's what loyalty looks like. What I experienced in return was rigidity, indifference, and staff that were, frankly, rude about it. To management: you had every tool to make this right. A waitlist. A goodwill gesture. Basic human flexibility on the most in-demand weekend of your year. You chose none of them. For $450 (refund for one night), you've lost a customer who was already sold on you.
