Athens, Ohio
Book direct
Book Your Stay at Art Park Cabin
Every stay is the whole property — 24 private acres, three bedrooms plus a loft, sleeping two to six, eight minutes from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Booking here means no booking-platform service fees, first access to peak weekends, and a host who answers.
Base rate $250 a night for two, $25 a night per additional guest. Taxes and one cleaning fee at checkout — no service fee, ever.
Why book direct
The same cabin, without the platform's cut.
Airbnb and VRBO add a guest service fee of roughly 14% on top of the nightly rate. That money goes to the platform, not to the cabin. Book here and it simply isn't charged — the rate you see is the rate you pay, plus tax and a single cleaning fee.
Direct guests also hear about peak weekends first: Parents Weekend, Homecoming, graduation and football Saturdays get released to our waitlist before they reach the platforms.
A three-night stay for four
Illustration at $300/night for four guests, before taxes and cleaning fee. Use the calculator above for your own dates.
Three ways to book
Book however you're most comfortable.
Same cabin, same acres, same hosts on every channel. Direct is the cheapest because there's no platform fee to pay — but if you'd rather stay inside Airbnb or VRBO, we're there and the calendars are in sync.
