Stayed here for the Georgia football game. Only minutes from downtown and the campus. House was very clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Alex and his wife were very responsive and accommodating! We would definitely stay here again.

We were thrilled to be able to host your son and his groomsmen during his wedding weekend! You guys were wonderful guests and are welcomed back any time :)
The house and property are super cute and clean! It was perfect was what we needed. The driveway is a little tricky with multiple cars but the property does say to drive on the pine straw and that was very helpful! The location is perfect for downtown Athens!! The property managers were very kind!
I had an issue with Wells Fargo thinking my rental was fraud; they accepted the Vrbo charge, but not the house rental. We couldn't repay via Vrbo, but Alex, the owner, was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. We referred the home to others in town for a big swim meet at UGA. Great Stay!!

Our group was in town for a wedding in a nearby location. The house is a perfect location for nearby excursions and in-town activities. The hosts were very communicative and helpful. The house is exactly as listed. So very cute and so roomy!! The kitchen is very well stocked with lots of spices and condiments which was very helpful for preparing a few meals while we were there. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
