The house was very clean and felt brand new when you walked in. The location is very peaceful and quiet with amazing views. We visited Athens for my husband and his brother’s high school reunion so this location was close enough to downtown.

House was just as described. Very clean, comfortable and location was great. We were there for work with the East Texas State Fair livestock show. We loved that it was in the country but still so close to the fairgrounds, food and Walmart. Easy check in process. Would stay there again.

Our stay was wonderful!!! The home was beautifully maintained and equipped. It provided everything we needed and more. It was conveniently located to our destination (Lone Star Camp) and local businesses, stores and eateries. The owners (& family) were friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Great rental!

This was a great rental. Process from reservation thru checkout was seamless. Only thing I didn’t see when making reservation is that all bedrooms are upstairs. That wouldn’t have been a game changer for me personally but others in my group might have had a different opinion. I would rent this property again. Thanks !

Why they chose this property

We love how the property sits in the corner and looks out onto pasture and trees.

What makes this property unique

The guest house is cozy, comfortable and well-maintained. It’s just a short drive to nearby attractions like the fairgrounds, boating ramp and Canton First Monday.
