What an incredible and comfortable house! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Catherine has thought of everything with the amenities. The house is so clean and comfortable. It was a great choice for our first stay in Athens to watch The Dawgs!

Fantastic place to stay! Absolutely the most inviting, welcoming place I have ever stayed. Very clean and comfortable. The beds, sofas, and recliners were very comfortable and the air conditioners kept it really comfortable as well! The host really has thought of everything. There were snacks, toiletries, games, books, and even fresh flowers. The communication was incredible. I really felt like a guest in a home. The neighborhood was quiet but not far from downtown. We could not have asked for anything better and will definitely stay here again when we are in Athens. Her store downtown, Cillies, is also a lot of fun!

A fun and funky stay at the Athens Music Gem. Cat is a great host who has gone out of her way to make your stay as easy as possible. Check in: super easy! Morning coffee (including fresh creamer in the fridge) and lots of snacks? Check! Water cooler? Check! Lots of towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc.? Check! Nice laundry set up? Check! Parking? Check! Quick drive to downtown? Check! The bedroom set ups are a little funky and the place could use some fresh air and sunshine, but overall a good stay for a quick parents weekend at UGA.

We loved our stay! The house had every appliance we could need and had snacks and coffee on the counter and breakfast items in the fridge!We loved all the details of the property. Every space was snuggly and interesting! There were clean and comfy blankets all around the house. The decor was amazing an we loved the bathroom and it’s clawfoot tub.Although we came to town to work and did not get to take advantage of everything the house had to offer, was so much to do at the house: a fire pit, with fire wood stocked, a hot tub, puzzles and board games, cozy sleeping arrangements, and lots of places to sit and relax together.

Great space with a funky vibe

Great place to stay, close to UGA. Very eclectic decor which makes it a fun place to stay. Very roomy for a family of three and extremely well stocked. Would stay here again! Only note- high claw foot bathtub, so it might be difficult for some to step in.

Cozy thoughtful place

The hosts have really done everything they could think of to make this place as magical and welcoming as possible. From the well stocked snack and breakfast bar to the handwritten instructions about the little quirks in the house. We appreciated all of the attention to detail that made our stay so welcoming. There are so many blankets and pillows throughout the house, it is an incredibly comfortable place to stay. It's also exceptionally clean. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing!!

I spent 6 days here in July and it was soooo good. I wasn’t sure what to expect but everything exceeded my expectations. Location is quiet but convenient - short drive to downtown and short walk to riverside trail. Cat was THE BEST host - great, easy to follow instructions and so many “extras”. Highly Recommend

Cute home, super welcoming host

This house would be great for adults to rent. I would not bring children here as there are a lot of very cute, knickknacks/antiques. The style of the home was amazing. We spent an hour just walking around looking at everything. The host left tons of snacks and goodies for us as well as suggestions of places to go. She was super friendly and super accommodating. The location was great to get to and from all the places we wanted to go. We weren’t more than 10 to 15 minutes away from everything.

We were in Athens for our daughter’s graduation from UGA. We were also fairly late getting a place to stay, so hotels were booked or ridiculously expensive. We were stoked to find and stay Athens Music Gem. This is not your typical, beige, West Elm rental. This is character and comfort and eclectic taste and memory lane…and seriously the comfiest bed I’ve ever slept in. If you grew up in the late 80’s and early 90’s college music scene and have any appreciative history with REM, The B-52s, Pylon, 5-8, or Widespread Panic, you’re gonna love this place.If there’s a little bit of a hippie in you and you’ve ever sat in a place and thought, “if I wasn’t so unnecessarily worried about resale value, this is exactly how I’d decorate”, you’re gonna love this place. If you’re breathing, and human and care at all about real, visceral experiences, you’re gonna love this place. You’ll sleep well, you’ll bathe well, you’ll appreciate Athens more and if you’re lucky, you’ll find something cool hanging on the wall that will make you reach out to an old friend you haven’t talked to in 30 years to reminisce about that time in the 90’s when you saw an impromptu “Georgia Peaches” show. Just book it. You’ll love it.
