Great house just outside Athens. Quiet beautiful property that is an easy drive or inexpensive Uber ride into town. You may find it hard to leave with all there is to do at the house. We cant wait to stay there again.

Such an inviting place to stay! The location was a short drive from downtown Athens. We had everything we needed for a fun weekend surrounding our son's graduation from UGA.

We scheduled this stay to correspond to UGA's graduation. It worked out perfectly. The host was easy to work with. We grilled out, played pool and enjoyed sitting by the pond. Though 6 miles out of town we were able to Uber to and from with no issues.

We needed a place to visit with our son while he was in town and our home was being renovated. It was a very clean, cozy and comfortable space. Conveniently located between our home and the town of Athens. We initially were surprised it was a basement apartment since I filtered only houses but I did see where it is mentioned further down the listing description. But it had almost everything we needed to have a great week. I could see this space being perfect for a bigger family gathering. Very nice property and the hosts were very friendly and helpful.

This place is a nice getaway from the craziness of downtown Athens at a fraction of the cost. You can be in the middle of it all in a matter of minutes. Room to spread out with comfy couches and a great outdoor space we didn't have time to enjoy. Will be staying here again if it's available.

Our boys 1 and 3 really enjoyed the space. We loved the back patio and pond. I was concerned there would be a lot of bugs but they were not bad at all. So thankful for time with family and a place to enjoy with them

Awesome place. Won’t want to leave

We rented this place to go to Road Alanta to watch the races. We had to drag the boys out to go to the track cause they wanted to stay here . Miss Jeanine was super helpful even letting us borrow some of her own stuff because we had came unprepared (1st time at Road Atlanta) the boys loved the place and loved the shower and the couch. We really didn’t get the use all the amenities that they provide. But I loved drinking my coffee by the pond in the mornings. Don’t hesitate to stay her clean nice place with wonderful people that own it

Loved this house but the back yard really was the treat! Amazing pond that had ample space to hang out and be by the fire or trails to go into the woods. The rooms were big and the tv room was great! Everything you really need for a few nights. Hosts were sweet as can be and very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. Also close enough to town to be able to enjoy Athens but also close enough to great natural parks to enjoy hikes. Will stay here again for sure!

This was a wonderful VRBO experience! The owners were incredibly nice and accommodating. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings with fishing and fire pit. The s’mores were a huge hit with the kids. The adults showed off rusty pool table skills while the kids learned how to shoot pool for the first time. Everything we needed or didn’t even realize we needed was provided. We will be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
