The Owl House! MidCentury Modern Emory, CDC, VA, Decatur Square.
About this bed and breakfast
Nestled in Decatur, this charming bed and breakfast for $113 per night is a great choice for your next break. Come listen to our nightly owl serenade! Mid-century modern home with private in-law suite in a quiet neighborhood on residential street. Suite is the entire bottom floor of a 1950’s split-level California style contemporary home. Lots of exposed brick and charm. One bedroom, one bath suite with large living area and private entrance off the back of the house, complete with private outdoor terrace, sitting area, pool in summer, and fire pit in winter. We live on the top two floors but there is a sliding barn door that is locked between your space and ours. Our house is fun, comfortable, and convenient to everything. We are an easy-going couple that have lived in Decatur and Atlanta for over 30 years. Non-judgemental, we welcome all to our home. There is a small refrigerator/freezer, microwave, toaster oven, and coffee maker with supplies. We provide you with everything you need for your morning coffee or tea along with filtered water. New queen sized pillow top mattress. Towels, sheets, pillows, and blankets provided. No cigarettes, e-cigs, or vaping inside, no incense or candle burning, no guns, no pets, and no drugs. We have an essential oil diffuser, you are welcome to bring any pure essential oils that you like. We offer 3 or 4 scents as well. As this is a one bedroom suite, it is suited best for two people, but we have a daybed or couch that can be used for a third or fourth person and we can provide sheets for the couch. You have access to all of the lower level and outdoor terrace. We don't use any of those spaces while you are here. General quiet time is midnight to 8 am. We are available for any needs you might have but allow you the privacy you want when you're staying here. We can greet you and enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail together, or not. We’d like to at least meet you, since you are staying in our home. We respond quickly by text or even a knock on the barn door as we mostly work from home and one of us is usually here. If you have any questions in advance of your stay, please message us! Local coffee shops nearby, Starbucks, Sprouts, Whole Foods, and Publix right up the street. Wonderful restaurants all around us, bars, pubs and boutique shops nearby as well. Fantastic wooden boardwalk called the South Peachtree Creek Trail allows a 4.5 mile walk, door to door, even after it rains. Located 1.7 miles from the Decatur Square and Marta East/West line. Take Marta ($2.50) directly to the Mercedes Benz Stadium, CNN Center, Coca-Cola Museum, and downtown Atlanta without changing Marta trains. Walking distance to Emory, VA, and CDC. Easy access to everywhere in Atlanta via 285 and 75/85. We are long time Atlanta residents that can help guide your way through our fabulous city, recommending restaurants, hiking spots, shops, and, entertainment. Uber and Lyft are approximately $5 to the Decatur Square and $15-$20 to downtown Atlanta.

So much about this property makes you smile and feel welcomed from the first impression on. We were so lucky to stumble on to this listing - at first we were going to stay in a hotel for our Atlanta visit, but I’m so glad we didn’t. The decor, a floor to ceiling collection of classic board games, a well-appointed kitchenette with snacks, coffees and teas, bottled water in the adorable red fridge, a binder full of suggested activities and brochures/maps of the area, and more - this is hospitality at its best! Our teenage daughter found the Murphy bed in the living room area to be super comfortable. We would absolutely without question stay again, and look forward to returning during pool season! :)

We had a lovely stay! It was perfect for our little kid free getaway, and only 1.9 miles away from the concert we attended.
Joanne and David are amazing hosts, and were so helpful and very kind.
We were able to easily find a nature preserve trail close by too, and really enjoyed how conveniently located everything was.
Thank you so much for hosting us!

I will admit I usually stay away from homes where the hosts live on property just because I am an introvert but I am so happy my family and I booked this place. The hosts were wonderful and had no problem letting us in even though we arrived late at night. The dwelling was immaculate and you could tell they take pride in keeping it clean and welcoming. We loved coming back from a hot day at the zoo and swimming. Everything was perfect and by far the best experience I've had with any of these apps. Thank you so much!

The property was beautiful. It was very comfortable with everything we could need, including some fun vintage games to try. Joanne was so helpful with communications ahead of time and suggestions along the way.
Thank you for the visit!

Such a nice property! The location is near to Emory, downtown Decatur, and not far from downtown Atlanta. A quiet neighborhood for a restful getaway. The hosts are really gracious, they have thought about everything to make your stay comfortable. There were packs of oatmeal, coffee, half and half, microwave popcorn for snacking on. One wall is filled with puzzles/board games. The little kitchenette had a decent sized refrigerator and a microwave perfect for heating up leftovers. The living room was a nice size for relaxing, with a bed in the corner for the third person. The property was clean with fun retro decor, a beautiful wooded lot, and a pool too! We even got to hear the signature owls one evening out by the pool. All in all a great experience for a small group to stay. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful backyard property with all the comforts of home. Everything we needed was provided and we could have easily spent our entire time in Atlanta just at VRBO. It was a highlight of our trip.

We were extremely happy with our stay. Joanne was wonderful to communicate with and the space was exactly as described. The pool is wonderful and the location is excellent for visiting downtown Decatur. We especially appreciated the special touches. Goodies for our stay and wonderful board games and dvds to choose from. Would highly recommend to others

The property is lovely. It’s cozy and warm and inviting. The owners created a wonderful space and every detail adds something unique and charming to the ambience. It was extraordinarily clean and the price was amazing for what you got. The owners were accommodating and welcoming and very easy to get along with. We had the best time and miss it and that very comfortable bed already. You won’t be displeased as this is a great spot to stay.

I had a lovely visit and the accommodations were wonderful! Very convenient and comfortable. Joanne and David are so friendly and have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable, down to different types of coffee and tea pods for the Keurig, coffee beans to grind if you prefer drip coffee, fresh half & half in the refrigerator, spring water for drinking, etc. An extensive of games and puzzles if you are staying awhile and fantastic collection of DVD movies with a very large screen tv for viewing. I will definitely use this as my base whenever I visit Atlanta. Thanks so much Joanne & David!

I wanted a cozy and homey little place to stay while visiting friends in Atlanta and this place checked every single, solitary box. Joanne greeted me in person upon my arrival and I knew immediately I was going to love staying there. Everything is exactly as pictured - even better! I especially enjoyed the morning coffee by the fireplace. I’ve stayed at many rentals over the years, but this little place had a warmth that truly made me feel at home. It will now be the ONLY place I book when coming back, whether alone or with my husband. The Owl House is a hidden gem.

This is such a perfect and relaxing place to stay. My husband, son, and myself stayed here for 2 nights to see a Braves game in Atlanta. We didn’t arrive until 11:30 at night and Mrs. Joanne met us outside to walk us to our apartment where we stayed. The place was absolutely beautiful and very clean. She checked on us throughout the stay to make sure there wasn’t anything we needed. They had a binder full of menus, cold water in the fridge for us, and plenty of vintage games for us to play. Her and her husband were extremely sweet and welcoming. We will definitely be staying here from here on out when we travel to the Atlanta area.

My fiancé and I stayed here for a couple days and will definitely return to this one. The owners are just wonderful and really put so much thought into every little detail. We can’t wait to our next stay with them. Hopefully it’ll be longer and warmer so we can use the outside amenities.

Perfect for creative families
Our time on our vacation was enhanced tremendously by our stay here! We had a place that was so inviting and relaxing to return to with the ability to enjoy a swim, play games, & watch a movie.
One of our favorite moments was when we enjoyed our breakfast & coffee with our daughter by the window that had a bird feeder nearby. She loved watching the birds nearby.

I was visiting family, and it was nice to stay here vs. a hotel. Joanne and her husband did a really nice job making a very comfortable space for visitors. The pool was lovely, the bed was comfy and all the touches and decor made it feel homey and sweet. I enjoyed watching the birds with coffee in the morning, and listened for the owl too. I came home relaxed and rejuvenated. The Decatur area is FULL of cute and tasty restaurants, and there is a trail head to the Peach Tree trail right at the bottom of the street. We went to the HIgh Museum, and enjoyed walking all around. I will definitely try to stay at the Owl House the next time I am in Atlanta.

GREAT place to stay!
This is a fantastic place to stay! The rental was very clean, organized, and well supplied. There was a refrigerator, microwave, coffee/tea bar, toaster oven, etc. There were games to play and plenty of room to have your own space. There is a nice patio, a large pool, and beautiful lush grounds around the rental. The owners were super flexible and helpful with anything we needed. They live in another part of the property, but that did not impact our privacy at all. They were also very responsive when I reached out via text with questions. Cannot say enough nice things about this property or the owners. We felt very comfortable and will look forward to returning!
