Experience history in a restored mining town

Located above the historical Harigle Garage built in 1912, this 2 bedroom condominium is the perfect location for any adventure in the Wayne National Forest. Currently under construction on the main floor is the Black Diamond Brewery and Distillery scheduled to open in late summer 2021. Step out the front door into the architecture that will bring you back into the 1880's and the glory days when coal was king in Southeast Ohio. Hit the Black Diamond Tavern after your adventure on the Buckeye Trail.

Why you should choose Shawnee, OH
What an experience. I’m giving five stars for everything and I will explain: The condo is in a good location to access numerous parks. I found this completely by accident, I had intended on staying in Hocking Hills. We walked to Wayne National Forest from the condo. We spent time at hocking hills, hiking to all the spots. It’s about a 30-40 min drive. We also spent time in Athens & Lancaster. The condo was clean, remodeled with a few quirks. Based on the opera house in town being built in 1881, I am assuming the condo was also built over 100 years ago. Quirky goes hand in hand. The town is being revitalized and I could not help but be happy to contribute my time and money to this small town in Ohio. If you Google or YouTube this town, the history associated is remarkable. If you are looking to be apart of history, supporting the creation of local jobs and restoring history, I would recommend. Bret is very responsive. He checked in to make sure all was well. And anytime I reached out, he messaged very quickly. The Black Diamond Tavern is very walkable, like directly next door. Hands down best small town bar/tavern. We ate dinner there three times. Food was great, prices were very reasonable, and music trivia was so fun! The condo was very reasonably priced, I felt like I paid appropriately (didn’t over or under pay). I am excited to follow the progress of this small town and look forward to seeing all that is accomplished in months and years ahead.

A Surprisingly Great Stay
We flew out from Los Angeles to stay with family for Christmas. The family home was a little crowded so we opted to look for a nearby lodging option. I didn’t know what to expect but the place ended up being great. Lots of space. Great and easy instructions for the internet/check-in/check-out procedures. I look forward to staying here next year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Shawnee, and without a doubt, we’ll be back! The owner was very accommodating and communicated with us whenever we had a question. Also, loved the Tavern that’s close by! They had music, and it was a lot of fun!

Uncomfortable
We stayed here two nights over the weekend. When returning from our horseback riding we had a giant camper backed in literally right outside our window and entrance. There are ZERO window coverings here and the owner had the people there as part of Harvest Host which was never disclosed. We felt like we had zero privacy (which was the entire point of our trip) and ended up leaving early. The location was oversold a little. The only thing to do in the little town is go to their bar and apparently stare at campers. I would have never picked this location had I know we’d be sharing space. Would’ve rather got a cabin.

Beautiful and large apartment in Shawnee. We walked the town and had dinner at the Black Diamond bar. Live entertainment, Randy Gleason (I think) was EXTREMELY TALENTED. Nice hub for Hocking Hills and surrounding area.

Nice, clean, quiet little town. Full of interesting old buildings. The rental was a great space, very roomy, nice, well kept, well equipped. We would definitely stay here again. We was in town to see some caves and waterfalls. It did not disappoint.

Got stuck doing the laundry for 3 hours when we got there. Towels, bedding were not ready. Also emptied dishwasher. Contacted owner for some type of credit ...none given. 1st Vrbo and probably our last. Thought all that stuff was taken care of.

Charming
We thought this little Mining town was charming and we loved the history. We had a chance to run on the local trails and walk through the village. It was certainly unique, and we love to visit different places. I would definitely recommend the Black Diamond if you want an experience. People were so friendly and accommodating. We only had one issue which was resolved promptly. Thank you for the hospitality!

Leary
Pulled into the property, door was open and worker next-door was coming out of our unit after cleaning paint brushes in our sink, walked into over 50 flies in the living area and had to kill them and clean the sinks. Next day came back to condo with another worker coming out of our condo after being told by his boss that he could use our bathroom, cleaned bathroom and kitchen again after outsiders in condo, called mgmt. and they tried to apologize by providing us with a gift certificate at the local tavern (food was good, people friendly) The place is nice inside and spacious, but we did not feel safe knowing the workers had our code for the door. I hope they clear up this issue so that no one else experiences this.

The experience was good. We would have never figured out how to find the entrance without the property manager giving us specific instructions. The place was nice. Apartment converted from an old building. There are no shades or curtains to the many windows. Luckily no one called the police because we walked around and are skivvies a lot

We usually get a cabin, but was suuuuper intrigued by the listing and the history. It was perfect. Close to hiking and the lake. Grocery not too far. The Black Diamond Tavern was AMAZING. Best bourbon selection I’ve ever seen and I love 30 minutes from the Bourbon Trail! I’m still craving the burger I had. Host is top notch. Cannot wait to come back with our kids to see what else they’ve done.

This VRBO had plenty of room for 4 adults and the pictures were spot on as to what you see on line. Communication with Josh and Bret as great - very quick to respond to questions we had. Plenty of plates/bowls and glasses for use in the kitchen as well as towels for use in the bathroom. We have a couple of pans we liked to cook with, so we brought our own. We would definitely stay here again.

Removed from the crowd in Shawnee
Shawnee is a great place to stay that gets you away from the Hocking Hill tourism without being too far from the state park. Additionally, there are multiple other hikes, parks, rides near to Shawnee that allow you to enjoy the beauty of the area. The accommodations were more than we expected! Great place to stay, especially if you have a family and want to spread out. The folks at the Black Diamond Tavern were welcoming and helpful, too!

Great little gem of a town. We can't wait to see how it grows. We wanted a quiet place near Hocking Hills for our anniversary weekend. That is exactly what we got. The apartment was great. Not far from the activities. It was clean and updated. Highly recommend staying here.

What a lovely spacious apartment for a staycation!! My fiance and I enjoyed getting out of town for a very relaxing weekend. The Black Diamond Tavern was perfect for a simple Friday night with dinner and drinks. Bonus - we were gifted a bottle of wine for making our reservation with VRBO!! We attended Second Saturday and we were pleased with the food truck's fair as well as the locals selling chocolate dipped pretzels! Overall, we had everything needed inside the apartment. It was immaculate and well stocked with kitchen gear. The openness of the rooms and the exposed windows were stunning! Very impressed with our stay! Only one inquiry was made to the host and I was pleasantly surprised with his very prompt reply and helpfulness!
