The Hideaway on Third was perfect in every way--a home away from home, less than a mile and a half from OSU's Wexner Medical Campus. My husband and I had fun cooking together (very well-stocked kitchen), watching Netflix, reading novel after novel (provided), eating Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies (also provided), and lounging in the hugely comfortable king-sized bed.
This was far from a typical vacation. We arrived on the first day that the state of Ohio closed all bars and restaurants due to the 2020 pandemic, and we stayed for 17 days (we'd initially planned to go home to Athens, OH, on the weekends), so my husband could finish a course of radiation treatment at the James/OSU. 24/7 of togetherness (not to mention global panic), and it was still a good trip.
The decor is understated and modern--think Chip and Joanna Gaines--subway tiles in the kitchen, shiplap in the bathroom, pretty in white and gray. My husband raved about the shower and said the the bathroom had "nice appointments." (Vocab I'm sure he picked up while walking through the room while I was watching HGTV at some point in the distant past.)
Ally was a great host--checking in frequently by email or text to see if we were ok and to ask if we needed anything. New supplies of chocolate chip cookies appeared outside our door in the middle of our stay, and Ally picked up milk and eggs for us toward the end of our visit. The nearby Kroger's has online ordering and delivery--which was a huge help.
We were grateful to have found this place. You will be, too!
