Hyde House Bed & Breakfast

All of the time spent in the Hocking Hills area is well spent. It benefits us all to learn and coserve our own local, state and national history. Thank you to all who protect and share our stories for the future.

Enjoyed our hostess, quite pleasant and knowledgeable. Would definitely stay again.

This was my first visit to a Bed and Breakfast and it has made me a believer! The friendliness of our host and our accommodations were excellent. Sue went out of her way to create special meatless hot breakfast meals for me (THANKS Sue). She is a very trusting and thoughtful host. Much continued success and thanks for making New Year's Eve Special.

The room was amazing. We stayed in the Dogwood room, and the host, Sue was wonderful. Breakfast was more than I expected and tasted delicious. Highly recommend anyone to stay there and have this experience at least once! Deanna Hilliard

At the last minute my husband and I were able to book a room at the Mead House. We didn't get the fanciest room at the Inn but the accommodations were very nice. The Innkeeper was so pleasant and we loved our visit.

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed the stay! When we walked in our host had made fresh muffins. The place was warm and inviting and if we had any question our host was right there to answer them! When we got to our room, we were in awe! The room was beautiful and the bathroom was huge! Everything was so clean and organized! We got food at a local resuraunt and that was an awesome experience! The next morning she had coffee and juice waiting for us and made our breakfast fresh right then and there. We chatted and she let us explore the house and the house that she is in the process of restoring. She told us her and her husbands story and the houses story. We enjoyed our stay so much and we are eager to go back! We would recomend this place for anyone looking for a pleasant and quiet get away

Room was clean as a whistle. Breakfast was tasty. Sue is very accommodating and her home is simply gorgeous.

Having decided to stop halfway between our home in New Jersey and a family reunion in Kentucky, we chanced upon Mead House, knowing nothing about the B & B or the area. We were received by our gracious hostess (and marvelous cook), Mrs. Maxwell, led to our beautiful bedroom and spacious bathroom (complete with claw footed tub and a separate shower), and served cookies and refreshments. We discovered that Nelsonville has a thriving arts community, that geologically exciting hiking was close-by, and that nearby university town, Athens, was a delight to visit. We have stayed at many B & B's over the years and recommend Mead House without reservation. (But if I were you, I'd make a reservation as soon as possible!)

We stayed at The Mead House for a quick weekend getaway. It served as our headquarters for weekend shopping in art galleries, hiking/exploring in the Hills and chatting with folks around town. The Mead House is very clean, the breakfast is healthy and elegant, the host is very friendly, helpful and welcoming, and the rooms are nicely decorated, cozy and modern/historic at the same time.

What a lovely place! The rooms are nice, although the mattresses and carpets could use updating. The host is accommodating and gracious, the food is excellent and the atmosphere was congenial and pleasant. The town leaves a little to be desired but the surrounding area is a nature lover's dream come true. We would definitely stay here again.

A lot for your money. Clean room in a very quiet neighborhood with delicious and generous breakfast

We've concluded another stay at the Mead House in Nelsonville, OH. This time we finally stayed in the premier suite - The Dogwood. What an incredible job Sue has done to restore this beautiful building! What a wonderful play to stay and relax - and what a wonderful breakfast spread! If you've never stayed at the Mead House, you're missing something pretty special. They are always our first option when we're visiting Athens.

The Mead House is wonderful - and the innkeeper, Sue Maxwell, has alot to do with that. She is warm and welcoming and serves the best breakfast ever! The house is lovely - very clean, neat, beautiful furnishings - and a wonderful porch to just sit and relax. We highly recommend it!

This B and B was a wonderful find for us. We relaxed on the front porch with a wonderful breeze in the early morning and later evening hours. Our hostess, Sue Maxwell could not have been more hospitable. She served a marvelous breakfast both days of our stay and even had some very tasty cookies and tea in the afternoon. She was very informative and a wonderful asset to the B and B and the town of Nelsonville, which is very quaint. We just loved it and will definitely return. Thank you Sue for making it such and enjoyable trip.

This was a delightful B and B. Close to Ohio University, it makes for a nice spot to relax after a fast paced university weekend. The host Sue Maxwell is cheery, informative, and welcoming. I feel like I made a friend in historic Nelsonville. The Tulip Room was bright, perfectly clean, and spacious with an updated shower. I have already made a reservation for my next stay!

This is a truly lovely lodging made even more comfortable by the host who happily rose to the challenge of our dietary restrictions. Her delicious breakfast, prepared to meet our needs, put the cap on a delightful experience all around. Rooms beautifully and thoughtfully appointed as well.

We had a fabulous time at the Mead House. Sue is an awesome hostess!! I would recommend this B&B to anyone, especially OU parents looking for a place to stay that is away from Athens. The Rocky Boot outlet is fun to stroll through and find some bargains on great boots. The Wayne National Forest is in the backyard and offers lots of ATV trails!!!

The Mead House is just a block off the historic town square - perfect place spend an afternoon wandering through the quaint little shops. Lots of historical interest there and the surrounding area - oh and the bike trail to Athens! Fabulous!

No more hotels for us. The Mead House is a beautiful place to spend a weekend with friends. The personal touch of our hostess and the relaxed atmosphere was marvelous!

Wonderful stay at Mead House! The house was clean and tidy, warm and welcoming. We were only able to stay one night but our room was very comfortable with lovely linens and a slipper tub - and breakfast the following morning was delicious. What made it truly unique though was that our hostess, Sue, made us fresh-baked cookies and iced tea upon our arrival! Thank you, Sue!

Our room was clean and peacefully quiet. We were given suggestions on places to visit. The food was terrific. Our hostess, Sue Maxwell, was a joy. We hope to return at a later date and highly recommend the Mead House.

Nelsonville is pretty and charming. Mead House is nice and Sue treated us very well.

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay at the Mead House. Everything was perfect and the B&B became the highlight of our trip. With the great treatment and super prices I can't imagine using a hotel again! Sue does a wonderful job at the Mead House!
