HUGE HOUSE WITH A GREAT BACK PORCH

I was very surprised at a lot of things I found uninviting. It truly needs a better cleaning service, the kitchen had roaches on the counter so we had to keep the food in plastic bags at all times. The refrigerator door handle broken and dirty inside with a other peoples food. Also all the bathrooms had other visitors toiletries still there. One additional surprise was the twin bedroom with a open bathroom inside the same room!

Yes it is Historic but one can make it a more inviting rental. To many things not right with this property. It is more like a Frat House then a family weekend rental.

The house generally is a great meeting place but the house does have some problems that need to be addressed. Three of the bedroom doors do not close sufficiently to give you privacy. One is almost falling off its hinges. One of the bedrooms has a bathroom where the sink is out of order and it appears to have been this way for quite a while. So you can shower and use the toilet but must use the main bathroom down at the other end of the house for brushing your teeth, etc. . Another room has a bathroom in the room with no privacy. It is actually in the bedroom with no walls or doors. So you have a 5 bedroom house but three bedrooms are actually using one bathroom. There are two sofa beds but no sheets ,blankets or pillows are provided. There were some extra comforters in a wardrobe but they were very dirty.

This house is for college students not for adults or seniors. The property is not properly disclosed.. If the owners would fix the doors, fix the sink , provide bedding for the sofa beds, provide clean comforters and state it is 5 bedrooms with 2 private baths, one open bathroom in a bedroom and a shared bathroom for 4 to 6 to use, it would let renters know what they are in for.

So I am doing it for them until someone writes a review to let us know differently!!

Last. but not least disturbing was the entrance of strangers at 2:30AM.!!

I was sleeping on one of the sofa beds(with sheets I had to go out and buy) when I heard someone unlock the back door and come in and turn on the kitchen light. Lucky for them I do not own gun. I watched as the two, a man and a woman of undeterminable age whispered. I sat up and the man who's face I could not see, said "Are you renting here? Are any of the rooms empty? I told him yes and no. He said I am the owners brother, sorry to bother you and said we are leaving". I sat there in amazement. Most people would have panicked or called the police.

It took the owner 2 days to call me back and apologize. She said they were family who had keys but should not have come in. She said she would compensate me for this which she did not.

I did not sleep that night.

So in wrapping this review up, beside all the repairs needed , you might have unexpected visitors at all hours.

My recommendation is to skip this rental unless you are desperate and do no shoot any late night visitors, they are drunks looking for a bed. Scary!!!

The house is full of UGa spirit. Great location right on campus. The house was clean with plenty of comfortable beds and a great bar area that we enjoyed using for dinner and watching sports on TV. Would have given 5 stars except the kitchen lacked a few basic items that are needed for meal preparation. Would definitely stay there again.

House is just as pictured in photos. Plenty of UGa spirit. Great location right on UGa campus and close to everything Athens has to offer. Older property but well maintained and very clean and comfortable. Would have given 5 stars except kitchen lacked some basic utensils making dinner preparation more difficult. We certainly enjoyed the bar area to watch sports and eat. Would definitely stay there again.

Nicole Johns provided excellent communication as we prepared for this visit. The house had plenty of room for a large group of people. It would be helpful to have a layout of the home because we had expected the house to be 2 stories and it was only 1. The sleeper sofas are numerous but best left to kids since they are lacking privacy. The kitchen was well stocked with dishware and pans and we had plenty of space for our food storage during our stay. The location is very convenient. The house was in need of a little sprucing up but in no way impacted our enjoyment during our stay.
