This is our second time staying in this home. My littles love the large backyard and playset. The patio is cozy and inviting and we’ve made beautiful memories around the fire. My big kids rave about the game room. We are a large family and the dining table is amazing for meals! Everything is clean and well stocked. Communication with the host is top notch.

My family enjoyed our stay . It was the perfect house for us, as we gathered for my son’s graduation. The house was very clean, and spacious. The backyard was my favorite.. the fire pit and gazebo was great for us to kick back and relax, along with the huge space for the kids to play with their balls and ride on the swings. Our host was extremely pleasant, accommodating and helpful with sharing suggestions on places to visit and great local restaurants to check out. This house is a gem and the location was perfect for us. We look forward to returning next year for my other son’s graduation.

Me and my family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Tucker home. The home and the property had everything we needed for our family to gather together including a dining room and dinnerware that could accommodate all of us, relaxing places for the older folks to chill outside while the kids were able to play games inside. Our host was very accommodating and has taken care to create a space where you can feel at home—away from home.

The host was responsive to my questions. We stayed 5 nights over Christmas holiday. The Christmas decor was a plus. The house was fully stocked including tea and coffee, variety of spices, laundry soap, tp, etc. We were 6 adults, 4 kids, 4-10. We chose the house because of the dining table that sat 12 and large fenced in backyard for outdoor play. We lucked out with great weather so we also got to enjoy the outdoor gas fire pit. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt safe.

This was the most well equipped house we’ve stayed in to date. They provided everything we needed including extra paper towels, dishwasher pods, toilet paper, and trash bags. We felt comfortable as a family of five and greatly appreciated the high chairs and pop up crib. The kids loved the backyard! The host was responsive and kind. Highly recommend for anyone but especially families with littles.

About the host
Hosted by Svetlana
As a journalist I travelled all over the world, and I did not want to stop when my son was born. My boy made 37 flights with me before he even turned two! It was mostly fun, except for the housing part. Hotels are just not designed for kids. We needed a play space, our own kitchen, a high chair, and a thousand little things that Moms have to carry everywhere to take care of their little ones.
I was dreaming about a place to stay where young children would be welcomed, and parents could relax. So, I created such space designed for families and opened my doors for you!
Why they chose this property
This large house used to belong to our friends, who were musicians. These walls remember composers and singers! I think that the music is still in the air.
What makes this property unique
We designed this house with families in mind. You will find a lot of thoughtful touches like a grand dining table (seats 12!), or a high baby chair and desks for homeschooling.
Inspired by HGTV design will make you enjoy this luxurious space with all the creature comforts at your fingertips.
Peaceful retreat and yet close to everything. 5 minutes to downtown Tucker, 15 minutes to Stone Mountain Park and famous Decatur restaurants, 10 minutes to Northlake Mall, 25 minutes to downtown Atlanta.
Some other features that make this house special:
Contactless access Private Playground/Jungle Gym Pool table/Board games/Mini-bar Patio+Grill Deck+Yoga deck Babies welcome - we have 2 baby high chairs, and 2 pack n play Fully stocked and equipped kitchen Smart TV+Netflix Family Dining Table - seats 12!
