BOOK THE WHOLE HOUSE HERE! Welcome to Artopia Retreat + Marys Gatehouse! (SuperListing) Hot tub added December 2025! Come enjoy and relax!
Artopia + Marys boasts 7 spacious bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and is perfect for hosting family and friends for all occasions!
This home is a combo of two listings but located in the same house. Artopia is the main floor and top floor, while Marys Gatehouse is the lower garden apartment. Marys Gatehouse is accessible from the inside of Artopia, providing the perfect stay for larger parties to be together.
The property was completely renovated in 2022, giving it a bright and modern feel. The home is 4,300 sq ft and three stories, stocked with Premium Grade towels, linens, beds, and pillows!
New Xbox S with one controller in upstairs King Bed bedroom! New PlayStation 5 with two controllers located in Marys Gatehouse!
All the bedrooms in Artopia + Marys are spacious, inviting and well appointed with quality linens and bedding. Original art throughout the home was created by local artist and homeowner, Linda Spitsen.
The primary bedroom and bath are on the main floor (stair-free access), four additional bedrooms are upstairs, and two bedrooms and a full bath are on the lower level. The lower and main levels are connected with an internal staircase that can be closed for more privacy if desired. The lowest level has a private “sunken garden” patio with additional access to the patio through french doors.
Both kitchens are stocked with high quality cookware and utensils (for up to 16 in total), making it perfect for large groups.. A starter supply of coffee and kitchen/bath essentials eliminates the need to shop before you arrive.
This home has lots of space for your group to spread out or to connect. Your party can hang out at the large kitchen island or enjoy a home cooked meal in the well lit and large dining room that comfortably seats 6-8. Or, just hang out in the living room and cozy up in front of the gas fireplace to play games (or our PlayStation 5 in the basement level!) and watch TV.
Want to spend some time outside? Sit and enjoy the hot tub on the deck overlooking the backyard. Listen to the birds and watch for deer as you enjoy your coffee or a glass of wine. The yard is set up for outdoor activities like bocce ball, horseshoes, frisbee and more. Like to dine al fresco? Make use of the gas grill and large open air dining area and enjoy the fresh air.
Need to get some work done? There is lovely office space on the main floor next to the dining room with a desk, couch and a variety of books to enjoy. You’ll also find another desk on the lower floor. The entire house is equipped with high-speed internet to get any work done on your trip.

This house was amazing. It was perfect for what our group needed. Was clean, well stocked and check out was super easy. Will stay again next time we are in town.
Our group enjoyed a great weekend in this charming house. The kitchen is well-equipped. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. There is plenty of parking, and the grounds are well- maintained. Unfortunately, we did not get the opportunity to utilize the hot tub, but it was ready for us. The location was near shopping, restaurants, and downtown Greensboro activities. I would recommend renting this home for a girls weekend or family reunion.
Great location in the heart of Greensboro. Safe neighborhood, convenient to downtown and Battleground areas. House was very clean, well equipped, and nicely furnished.
With a family as large as ours we have been booking holiday homes for the past 4 years. This home exceeded all expectations and we will be booking again. Great location , great hosts!

Thanks for your kind review, Rosemary! We look forward to hosting you again soon. We have some exciting plans for the property, so you are in for some fun surprises next time :)
The home is beautiful and even more spacious than we expected. The back deck and yard were perfect for grilling and kids chasing fireflies. It was the perfect size for our family reunion!
This was a great house for our stay. The check in and especially check out process was so easy! There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out or come together to play games or just hang out and enjoy each other’s company. All of my questions were answered quickly and effectively. I would absolutely recommend this house and we will definitely be making reservations again when we stay in Greensboro!
This was a lovely property. It is literally within walking distance of so many restaurants and shops. The property was well maintained, had awesome artwork on the walls, and was well stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed to feed the 16 of us and didn’t feel like someone had dumped all their worn out leftover items there. I could go on and on about how much we enjoyed our stay!
This was one of the most beautiful, comfortable, thoughtful rental homes we’ve ever stayed in. Our family and friends loved everything about it. Highly recommend.
Everything went well and I was very pleased with the accommodations and the hospitality that the host showed us …

Thank you Robert for the very positive review. We appreciate you taking the time to leave your thoughts and we are thrilled that we appreciate our hospitality. We hope to see you again soon!
Beautiful property! We were in town for our daughter’s wedding. Great backyard for visiting relatives to visit. Plenty of space inside for 9 family members to stay and not be on top of each other. Has everything you need! The cherry on top of amazing weekend!!
Pictures and even their YouTube video don't allow you to see just how MUCH space there is in this home. My group have rented homes all over and this one did not disappoint.
Fifteen family and friends stayed at this rental for a wedding at Bella Collina Mansion. We visited an extra day, and there were plenty of areas to sit, talk, eat, and play games in the home. The outdoor seating off the kitchen was delightful, with an outdoor remote-controlled ceiling fan, and the living room had an incredible surround sound system for watching movies and listening to music.
The apartment downstairs also had a patio where a few people enjoyed drinks and conversation.
We loved the kitchen!!!! Sturdier bar stools may be a nice touch for the island and possibly a bigger table in the kitchen, but really, no complaints.
The area was also nice, with plenty of food options. I personally went to the gym, which was less than 5 minutes away. Overall, the location was fantastic.
We would definitely rent again; we don't have a reason to return to Greensboro; however, we all agreed we would return just to rent the space and explore the city a bit more in the future. All you need is a pool, and we would make it an annual summer destination for us.
