A Unique Experience
My husband and I had the most wonderful time staying in this quaint and cozy barn, next to a pond, surrounded by the property's local residents - 2 cats, a dog, a donkey and a horse. The accommodations and amenties were perfect for us, and we received 5 star service. Leslie made sure we had everything we needed, including leaving "happy birthday" plates for my husband, and setting up a fire pit for us. Penny, the owner, was so welcoming and friendly. It's a 20 minute ride to Athens, and a great value compared to Athens hotels.

Relaxing getaway
Really enjoyed our stay here. The animals were so friendly and Dilbert the dog walked with us to and from the lake as though he knew where we were headed. Super soft bath towels and extra amenities were available just in case you forgot something. They thought of everything! Would definitely stay here again.

Peace & Quiet - an Oasis Close to Home
I needed a getaway that was close to home and this delivered! What a beautiful and peaceful location. I felt like I was far away from everything and totally alone--except for the delightful animals. I was greeted by one of the farm cats upon arrival and the horse and donkey came up right away (I think they were looking for treats.) The driveway is nearly 1/2 mile and I saw several deer. It turned out to be a rainy weekend, but that was fine with me because my plan was just to rest, read and relax. There were so many little thoughtful touches--extra toiletries if you forgot something, treats. Everything was super clean and had everything I could possible need for a wonderful weekend. I'll definitely return.

Best Calm Quite Restful Stay Available in Athens...Period!
Graduation Weekend in Athens.
I cannot imagine even game days in Athens to be more chaotic, crowded, no parking, packed, etc.
We first looked at hotels downtown - good luck with that unless you book for graduation weekend a year in advance.
So...other than some $700+ per night options, I decided to 'take the road less traveled'.
And boy, did we hit a HOME RUN!!!
Just 15 minutes from downtown, you would think we had traveled an hour and 20-years back to a beautiful horse (and donkey!!!) farm.
A very nice 1 BR, 1 Bath 'condo' on the opposite side of a working barn with all the modern conveniences!
If you are not into rustic settings and the smell of nature, this is not for you.
But if you are this person, you will not find a better place to escape the ever-growing metropolitan style-of-life that Athens has become + all the stress/anxiety that comes with it.
Peaceful walking trails along the creek into a pristine forest lead you to a beautiful pond and pavilion with rockers and swings only a short 1/4 mile walk from the barn. Circle another mile or so on the private walking trails (or biking if you bring them)
No sounds other than nature.
Snacks for the horses (and Baba Looey of course) are provided along with all the essentials of home.
Even the 'human' snacks were a welcome surprise for us on arrival.
Only one TV - honestly, I never watched it! I was in the hammock or enjoying the quiet and never missed it!
Thank you Penny Lane!!!
Signed,
Well Rested

Perfectly Peaceful and Quaint
My wife and I stayed here the night of our wedding. Our venue was in Athens and this was just outside of Athens on a beautiful farm. It was so peaceful and simply wonderful. There are also a few farm friends that were a sweet surprise in the morning. All of them are gentle and friendly. The views the morning after we’re great. Although we only stayed one night, this place would be a great for a quiet extended weekend away. It would even be a good spot for Bulldog weekends if you’re not interested in staying downtown amongst the parties.
Leslie even added some personal touches congratulating us on our wedding. She was a great host, communicated perfectly, and we couldn’t have asked for more

Peaceful and very quiet!
This place was everything we hoped for. Such beautiful surroundings and lovely accommodations make me want to return and spend more time there on a personal retreat. We were away during most of the day we stayed there enjoying the Botanical Gardens and eating out, so I didn't get to relax for hours on end just soaking it all up. Next time!

Wonderful stay on a lovely property
Wonderful property, kind hosts, generous accommodations and a relaxing atmosphere. The barn cats, doggies, horse and donkey were very sweet, weren't a bother at all and added to the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the paved walking trail and ability to stretch my legs after a long drive.

Awesome Barn experience
We stayed at the barn in Athens while visiting our son at UGA. It was a football weekend and we were so excited to find a place to stay close to Athens. The farm property was gorgeous and the little barn apartment was so quiant and cute. We loved feeding the animals before we left on Sunday. Lesley was so accomodating and met our every need. She was there to greet us at check-in and arranged our transportation to the game. The hospitality was top notch! I highly recommend this barn as a great weekend getaway. It is close to the UGA campus (about 15 minutes) and so amazing!! My only regret is that we didn't book additional weekends in advance for football season. We will definitely return. Go Dawgs!!

So good at finding the rare gems!!
This property was so beautiful from the moment you turn into the drive. There is peace in every sense of the word and I imagine Penny fell in love with this place the first time she ever saw it. There was definitely a vision in what gives you peace when you are here. I enjoyed a long walk, saw the pond, enjoyed the barn, petted the animals, and enjoyed the sunset. I wish I would have had more time to enjoy everything, but I will most definitely be back!
