Great place to stay!

The house is in a great location with close proximity to all things Athens. My family enjoyed spending time together. The home is decorated nicely and the rooms are surprisingly larger than I had expected. Would definitely stay again and refer to friends.

The perfect respite

This house was exactly what we needed to settle our daughter into her first year at UGA. Had plenty of space for our family and had a gate we could park our cars behind - that felt like an added bonus honestly! House was clean and prepared for our visit and the hosts were incredibly responsive, communicative and accommodating. Will definitely be back.

A literal refuge!

We had this house rented for the weekend for a football game. One week before our rental, Hurricane Helene left our home and businesses without power and water. I contacted the host and she was responsive and gracious enough to let us come before our rental date and take refuge here while we were without power at home. The house is spotless and very comfortably appointed. We are grateful for her kindness and will definitely stay here again.
