OU Homecoming Weekend

We stayed here in order to attend the Ohio University Homecoming weekend. The drive to and from campus was easy. The house was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Deer were in the yard each morning when we woke up. We’ll stay here again.

Ohio Windy Nine motorcycle excursion
