Great place to stay in Athens!

We loved staying in this delightfully decorated and well equipped home in an historic neighborhood. The neighborhood was dog-friendly and the back yard was excellent.

Perfect stay

I was absolutely delighted with our stay. The house itself has so much character and the decor fits it perfectly. Everything about it is just charming. The neighborhood is great. The front porch was perfect for sitting on in the evening and relaxing. Even my teenage son seemed impressed. Would definitely recommend it to others.

We had a terrific time! House was warm and welcoming. Even had Holiday decorations for us! Checking in was seamless. Host/Hostess were very nice and made us feel at home. We walked to Normaltown and downtown Athens with no problem. It was close to everything we needed. The dog really enjoyed it, as well. They thought of her too. I would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Bungalow

I stayed here during my doctoral program residency week at UGA (GO DAWGS!). The location is nice and located on a quiet street. The bed is extremely comfortable and I will be contacting the host asking them for all those details. I traveled with my Great Dane, Willie and he enjoyed the fenced in back yard and nice sidewalks to stroll down. It is a little too far to walk to downtown, but an easy Uber. Very comfortable space and I felt welcome.

Awesome House in Athens

We spent a wonderful week at this property while our children (14 and 12) attended UGA summer camp. This was our second stay in Athens this summer and I highly recommend this house. We were so comfortable including our two dogs and kept saying how much at home we felt. The location is about a mile and a half from downtown and the neighborhood is lovely and historic. I felt comfortable walking the dogs even late at night and there were lots of walkers and bikers and close restaurants. The hosts are wonderful too! Lots of good local Athens music to play on a real record player and books! We worked from home all week and I even had a comfortable office. Snacks were provided as well as all essentials to make our week great. There is a fenced yard and a dog bed and dog pick up bags and shampoo and even dog treats in the kitchen. Our pups have never been happier any house that we have rented. I can't wait to return next summer and highly recommend. My kids said to vote 10 stars! :-) Couldn't have asked for more.
