Checked in at 3:30pm and left at 9:30pm for home. Terrible moldy/musty smell throughout that made me feel ill. Despite being the only guests there that night, for added safety, we secured the door from the main house to our suite. This exacerbated the moldy/musty smell. We had no choice but to leave. Clearly there are issues with moisture that need to be addressed.|The website exhibits absolutely picturesque scenes of a beautiful Lake Logan. NOT the case. The Lake is dried up and full of duck weed. It's not healthy, nor is it pretty. A kayak is available but you can't use it given the current condition of the lake. These facts were not described on the website and the owner said the condition of the lake has been ongoing for 3 years!|The side patio from the Honeymoon Suite was another disappointment. The chair cushions were dirty and we had to place towels on them before sitting. The table had cobwebs around the so-called decorations on it and the table itself was in desperate need of a very good cleaning detail. The roof material over the pergola was absolutely filthy, to the point you couldn't see through it to the beautiful sky above.|The jetted tub jets did not appear to be clean. No way were we using it.|It's also not encouraging to be told you are parking a car in the lot so others wouldn't know we were the only guests there. One questions if there have been safety and security issues there.|The overall condition of the establishment is, in a word, deteriorating. There is rotting wood all around - i.e. pergolas, roof lines, pillars, etc. We were greeted with a moldy/musty smell from the moment we walked in the door at the car port. In hindsight, we should have turned around and walked away, but we held hope it would get better. Unfortunately, it did not and we had no choice but to leave when we did.|The owner doesn't reside there & told us multiple times "I don't live like this", referring to the Mannor he boasted so much about. We certainly hope not. Despite what the owner may reply to this scathing review, trust us when we say there are moisture & maintenance issues at this place. We paid apprx. $300 for the 6 hour stay. My husband emailed him about the issues but there was no reply, no...
Read moreWhen I say I shed a tear when we had to leave, I mean it. I’ve never felt more at home while away than I did here. BJ is the most incredible and welcoming host. He is incredibly knowledgeable, witty, and down to earth. It was serendipitous that we arrived on the weekend we did, because we also got to meet Bud Simpson, a local author, column writer, and photographer. I felt like I gained two new grandpas. We shared so many stories around the breakfast table each morning. BJ shared the best recommendations for hiking, eating, and shopping. We truly appreciated how much he opened up to us about his exciting life! His stories were unforgettable. |For our stay - I was blown away by how beautifully decorated each room of the home was. The bed of our honeymoon suite was outrageously comfortable, and we loved the electric fireplace for added warmth. It was a bit cold during our stay so we didn’t get to sit outdoors much, but we were overjoyed to feed the beautiful swans on the stunning lake logan, right in the front yard! We saw several kayakers and small fishing boats out on the Mayer as well. For a home built prior to the 1860’s, it was in remarkable shape. BJ’s craftsmanship definitely shows in the additions to this gorgeous home. We are avid lovers of old homes, and this place was no exception. That loving “grandparents house” smell was so nostalgic, and was heightened with the added smell of fresh coffee, eggs, and sausage each morning. Our entire stay definitely took me back to a place and memory that I didn’t think I’d ever get to experience again. Needless to say, we already booked our room for this time next year. We absolutely cannot wait to get back to the hocking hills, specifically A Georgian Manner bed and...
Read moreEnjoyed the company and the interesting stories from owner BJ and breakfast cook Sharon. They both are amazing and wonderful people that mean well to all their guests. Unfortunately my personal belief due to aging and unfortunate health issues, the place has not for a while had the necessary maintenance of upkeep that it is in dire need of. Please understand that this bed-and-breakfast has potential to be the nicest establishment within the Logan region. With some TLC, cleaning, and maintenance inside and out and having the army core of engineers clean, dredge, and rid of all the lotus flowers that has taken over lake Logan at that end of the lake especially.|Please understand that it burdens me to have to say anything negative about this bed-and-breakfast due to the people that run it & all the labor that the owner put in for seven years to make this place a dream come true of his.|The inside is filled with a lot of history pertaining to the region, and civil war times.|Some interesting and enjoyable to reads.|By no means am I saying not to visit this bed and breakfast because you could not ask for any better host, which keep in mind owner or cook does not live on the premises, owner lives at the top of the hill in a separate residence. We would visit again, but hopefully with God‘s blessing they can restore what once was with this magnificent bed-and-breakfast.|Thank you once again BJ and Sharon for the accommodations for...
