8/10 Good

"Kitchen Was pretty well equipt. Internet and cable wasn’t working and with no cell service it wasn’t good not having any connections if we had an emergency. But over all it was a nice cabin. Kids played wiffle ball and we walked the trails. We took coffee pods but no Kuerig like i saw in a picture, not a big issue but didn’t take ground coffee. There was a little bit of coffee left in the cabinet."

10/10 Excellent

"This was a cozy cabin not too far from town with easy access to the highway and lots of hiking. The cabin is exactly as described. I do wish there was a little more privacy, especially at the hot tub as it faces the road with nothing blocking the view. Will absolutely stay here again!"

Court Street

4.5/5 (242 reviews)

During your trip to Athens, you can search for that perfect souvenir at Court Street. Discover the area's festivals or seek out its hiking trails.

Called "The Ridges" currently, this large, looming building that overlooks Ohio University's campus was formerly a mental health hospital called the Athens Asylum for the Insane. There's a small museum inside now, and the rest of the grounds are owned by the university, but there is still certainly a chilling aspect to the building that calls to its past.

Take a walk around the grounds or visit the museum, it's something worth seeing. Behind the building is a community park with areas that would be worth visiting in warmer days. Take the road that loops up a hill (to the left of a campus sign) and you can view the cemetery of unnamed, forgotten patients who died and were only assigned a number. There are efforts to find the names of these individuals and give them the attention that is deserved. There's also a beautiful nature walk that I would have taken if it wasn't so cold!
