🎓 The Best Place to Stay Near Ohio University:  Luxury Lodging Just 38 Minutes from Athens, OH

Planning a visit to Ohio University for Graduation, Parents Weekend, Homecoming, or another campus event? You’re not alone — and Athens hotel rooms book up fast. Many families end up paying high prices for outdated or less-than-ideal accommodations that fill quickly during big OU weekends.

That’s why more guests are choosing Streams & Dreams at Laurel Run — a unique, luxury lodging experience just 38.5 miles and 38 minutes from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.

  • Ohio University Graduation lodging
