ABOUT:
We recently (April 2026) converted the library on our lower level to this apartment to be able to host our friends and families. It is located on the lower level of our home, but has two separate private entrances. One entrance opens up to the living room. The other enters one of the bedrooms through a screened in porch. The apartment is at the back of our house. We have parking for 2 cars in our driveway (additional cars can be accommodated if needed, but please inquire ahead of time).
- There are brand-new Queen Leesa luxury mattresses (purchased May 2026) in both bedrooms for premium comfort and deep, restorative sleep
- The Blue Bedroom has Blackout curtains plus standard blinds for additional light control.
The kitchenette (built in April 2026) has a dishwasher, ice maker and filtered water (from the fridge) and has everything you need including a SodaStream, Keurig Duo, Breville tea kettle, and a Ninja all-in-one air fryer combo. The Ninja has a roast, saute, and bake option. Please note, that due to regulations in Athens, the kitchenette does not have a stove or oven, so there are no pots and pans.
ENTERING THE APARTMENT:
The apartment is tucked behind the main house overlooking the wooded portion of the property. From your dedicated parking area, follow a lit dirt path approximately 100 feet to the private entrance. There are 5 steps at the entrance.
*On rare occasion, our main home may be available for your stay. Our home is only available to book by special request. Please send us an inquiry if you are interested to see if your dates are available. You can see pictures of our main home by clicking on our profile*
Guest access
You will have access to the entire space except for a few locked doors.
Other things to note
I am a UGA professor, and I do live upstairs with my family (baby and pets). We keep to ourselves but are available if you need us. Our entrance is completely separate from yours (on the other side of the house) but it is possible that you may see us walking with our dogs in the neighborhood or parking our cars or swinging on our porch swing with our son. We love meeting our guests so please feel free to say hi!
The apartment is surrounded by woods and water. Georgia's climate means that there are a lot of bugs in the area. We do everything we can to make sure the space stays bug free, but this is a part of nature and the environment. Bugs get attracted to outdoor lights and will fly in when you open the door, so please try to keep the door closed. The apartment is very clean and seeing a bug inside is not a cleanliness issue, nor does it warrant a refund. It is the price we pay for living amongst nature.
