This was a wonderful place to stay! We had a small problem with the bathroom and the property owner responded quickly to give a solution to the issue. They we so kind and understanding. The only other issues we had was the address does not go directly to the home with Google maps but we found the place fairly quickly. And we had to adjust to using the small oven unit. It is a beautiful home and made a great location for my mom's 65th birthday get away. It's super close to Hocking hills and the town has fun things to with small groups! I would definitely book this house again. Great memories were made.

Quiet Lovely Home, Centrally Located!

We booked the Farrow House for a family vacation. We had a great time. Hocking Hills is close and we went canoeing as well. The house is very quiet and lovely. We spent a lot of time on the back patio. Would like to return again! Thank you Sherri and Jeff for a lovely time!

Great place to come home to after hiking.

We enjoyed game night under the lights on the back deck, reading on the front porch swing, or just relaxing in one of the very comfortable beds or the living room. Enough space for everyone to do their own thing, and still space to play games together. Homeowners very responsive and helpful. About 20 minutes from all the Hocking Hills hiking and attractions, but that is what made it a great location. Would recommend any activities with hockinghillsadventuretrek and Jackie O's restaurant in Athens.

We stayed at the farrow house for 5 days. It was wonderful. Even though there is now central air the house was comfortable. We loved the historical aspect of it. It was so easy to just walk into town for coffee in the mornings for the older kids. We loved the family time and it was so easy to just get to every where. Thank you to Sherri and Jeff for opening their home.

10 women. 2 rolls of toilet paper. Cobwebs and dead bugs in dining room window. Asked when we’d be there so the alarm system could be disarmed, but it wasn’t. Mystery cookie in window sill of bedroom. Listing should make it aware that all bedrooms & the 1 bathroom are on the 2nd floor. My 92 year old mom & my sister that has suffered a stroke had to use a camping toilet & sleep on the couches. Should also give warning about the drive over the railroad tracks! Very scary!

The house itself was incredible. It has such a Victorian vibe (without the ghosts unfortunately) We had our whole family with us and it slept all 10 of us very comfortably. By comfortably I mean verrrry comfortably, the beds were great, and every room has it's own style and personality. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the stove is the coolest! I want one in my house! We were easily able to feed all 10 people. (Thank god for the dishwasher.) The magnum opus, the back deck, was AMAZING! We all enjoyed the hot tub, but honestly, the back deck is the perfect gathering hub even without it. The kids loved the jumbo Jenga, and we loved the peace and quiet after dark. Check in was a breeze, and we were able to get everyone in and settled stress free, which is the best when you're looking for a restful getaway. All in all, 10/10 stay, we will definitely be returning for a mini vacation in the foothills!

Perfect setting for a large group

We had such a wonderful experience in this beautiful home. We loved the Victorian pieces and the large sitting room was ideal for our girls weekend. The back porch was our favorite spot for our morning coffee. Even though the house only had one bathroom it really didn’t present a problem and was large enough to accommodate multiple people getting ready at once. We have said multiple times how much we would love to come back. Communication with the hosts was quick and seamless. They even left us fresh orange juice and eggs!!

Great weekend getaway!

The Farrow House was perfect! A beautiful Victorian style home. Plenty of beds for our group of 7. The dining room was spectacular with the table all set for a fancy meal! We loved watching the rafters floating down the river from the back deck and when sitting on the front porch waved to the people on the trains going by. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, and we loved the antiques. We made a bonfire and had s'mores one night which was a blast! The front yard has 2 ponds with lots of fish. The grandkids ages 4 and 6 enjoyed the weekend as much as the adults! I would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Family Stay

We really enjoyed the property. It was spacious and clean and centrally located to many activities we wanted to do. It was a very comfortable place to stay and we enjoyed the front porch and back deck quite a bit. The neighborhood cat that visited was precious and we loved the frog in the pond up front. It was a bit difficult to share one bathroom, but we managed. We like to cook and struggled a bit with the retro oven, but ultimately managed. The dining room is pretty, but we felt we couldn't eat in there because of all the complex settings. I would have preferred the space be more usable so we could all eat together. Overall our visit was great!
