The house was very nice and comforting. It was also great one able to bring my dog. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of space for everyone.
Great older home in a great location. I’d give it a 5 but keep in mind this an older property. Some love and attention would go a long way and the to the master shower nozzle needs attention. All in all, i would definitely still stay here again… Just giving some feedback to owners. They communicated great and are easy to work with.
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.
Visited Athens for Christmas since both our adult children live there. Very comfortable and nicely appointed home. A few hiccups after checkin, but quickly resolved by host. Would stay again.
An older home with some creaks but very well-maintained. An excellent location convenient to all of the best things to do in Athens. Quiet neighborhood with lots of friendly faces taking walks with their dogs. Would definitely stay here again!

If I could give the cottage more than 5 stars, I would. Molly was an incredible host, making sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The cottage is well kept and super clean. Convenient to downtown and the university.
Thank you! We'll definitely stay here again.

The Classic Cottage was perfect for us, so close to all the venues we had to get to. The house is adorable and was very clean and well stocked. The host was very responsive. Everything about our experience was smooth and we’d definitely stay there again.
We were in Athens for a few days while both of my girls attended UGA gymnastics camp. The house and location both were great. Would highly recommend this to anyone traveling through Athens!!
