Come Back to Nature - 15 min. Drive, or 7 Miles, to UGA!
Come Home to this Nature inspired Split Level home! Located in a well-established Athens neighborhood, behind GA Square Mall. Plenty of space to go around, with beds for up to 15, plus provided blow-up Queen or Single air mattresses to accommodate more, if needed! This was truly a labor of love and we thank all the early bookers that enjoyed & praised our efforts in the home! That being said, while pictures are "worth a thousand words", let me paint that picture for you with words....As you drive up to this cozy split-level home you will have a 2-car garage for your use, along with an extended side gravel area for extra guest parking or that tailgating RV! Walking up to the front door, you are greeted by a covered porch, complete with a relaxing swivel rocking chair settee--perfect for a morning cup o' joe with that special someone! As you step inside, you are welcomed with an Open Concept Kitchen & Dining Space. An array of seating choices awaits you; from our oversized main dining table to our breakfast nook table off the kitchen, or you can saddle up on one of the barstools at the kitchen counter! The kitchen will be upgraded with stainless steel appliances, and soothing, nature-inspired decor throughout! Ready to watch the game? Make your way to the lower-level Family Room, complete with 65" TV, a sectional sleeper sofa w/ pullout Queen bed (enhanced gel foam mattress--no less!), and a gas fireplace to warm the cockles of your heart! Games and books flank either side of the tv wall, to tickle your intellectual senses as well! Is it a gorgeous fall night outside? Make your way out the patio door to a Gi-Normous (16x20) party deck out back! This backyard oasis would not be complete without TWO comfy seating sectionals, a separate dining space, and a Beautiful Live Edge Bartop railing overlooking the lush forest beyond! And don't be surprised if you have four-legged visitors spying on you from the trees--especially around sunset! Do you have a friend or family member that considers themselves "King of the Grill"? Make your way down the stairs to our "not-so-small ground level, or what we like to call the BBQ Deck! Bench style seating surround the Natural Gas Grill, so that you can keep your chef company! Or make your way out to the grass area for a rousing game of cornhole (game included)! Got a little dirty from those sticky ribs and your friendly competition? We have a large laundry room off the garage & kitchen; equipped with not one set, but TWO sets of washers & dryers for those large family gatherings! Too cold or wet to relax outside? Or maybe one group wants to watch something different from the other group? Come on down to the Basement level, or better known as the Media Room. Here we offer another full sectional (also equipped with gel foam Queen pullout bed), another 65" TV, a full 4-piece bathroom; and by the end of Oct., it will also include a 2nd full kitchen--perfect for extended holiday stays! Direct, easy access to the previously mentioned BBQ deck off this level! Tired after too much fun? Or maybe you want to send the kiddos to bed? Off the main Family Room we offer their own separate "Deer" inspired sleeping quarters that includes two, 4-person bunk beds, so that you can easily sleep 8 in this room (250lb. weight on the top bunks & trundles; and up to 350lbs. on the Double lower bunks). Go ahead and bring those game controllers that your kids (or maybe even you) can't seem to live without! This room is also equipped with a 50" TV, and 2 comfy gaming chairs. For those midnight trips to the potty, we've included a large, no-fight, 2-sink adjoining bathroom! Are you finally ready to call it a night yourselves? Unwind on our 3rd level in one of 3 bedrooms. The "Sunflower Room" & "HoneyBee Room" both offer Queen size beds and a shared bathroom--again with the no-fight, 2-sink convenience. Our "BlueJay Room" is also the Master Bedroom. It boasts a King size bed, its own 50" TV, and a private (yes, 2-sink) En-suite bath with walk-in shower! Of course, all linens, toiletries, kitchenware, and almost anything you could possibly think of are included; so that no matter what you've come to Athens for, all you need to bring is your clothes, food, and most important--LEAVE YOUR STRESSES BEHIND!

Everything was as described. Owner was super responsive when i had questions.We were in town for a UGA football game and the house was about 15 minutes from campus which was great
Excellent home for multiple couples by offering privacy and group gathering spaces. Lots of extras and we needed for norhing in the kitchen and bath.spaces.
A large group of friends and myself were able to spend a few days in Athens, playing some golf and going to the UGA football game. It was a great trip, and we had great accommodations. The house was perfect for our needs, it was clean and in good shape, and communication with owner was very good as well. I would stay again!
Great stay for our family for a wedding at the Thompson House and Gardens. LOTS of space for 10 of us. Great neighborhood and lovely back porch. Only complaint is the floors need to be cleaned better. They left our socks a little soiled. Otherwise a terrific property. Just as it looks online.
We had 6 adults and 6 youth to stay for a weekend. We came for a church mission project. The home was perfect for us. Just enough bedrooms and the bunk room was great for our 5 boys. The basement/bottom level was perfect for me, the youth leader, to have my own space. Overall, was a great, quiet place.
Perfect for a large group of children and several adults
The room that slept 8 was plenty big enough for the 8 that slept in it. The lower basement bonus room was perfect for our two teen boys to stay in. they could have slept on the pull out coach but the sectional was just as comfortable for them. With extra air mattresses we could have slept even more. The three queen bed bedrooms were perfect for the 4 adults to untilize. Plenty of seating for family style eating and plenty of tvs for different tastes to watch different things
Our stay was for a wedding that was held at the State Botanical Gardens. The venue was about 15 minutes away. Our group was three couples and 8 kids. This floor plan was perfect for our group. The adults and kids had separate hangout spaces. The two refrigerators and two washers and dryers were great. The home was clean, and the owner was very responsive.The home is full of thoughtful touches-you can tell they have really considered guest’s needs.
This property has been recently refurbished and is in beautiful shape in a quiet wooded neighborhood. Spectacular deck with bbq and more with long bar facing woodlands behind home where you see an occasional deer.
It worked out great for my wife and I, three of our grown kids and their spouses and 6 grandchildren ages 4-9. We were all visiting from out of town to attend our other sons wedding in Athens. There is a wonderful bunk room downstairs where all 6 grandkids where able to sleep and hangout.
The owner was very accessible via text or phone and accommodating with all our questions. It was an excellent value compared to other properties we researched in the area.
It is set up very well to handle 20 + people as advertised. Highly reccomend!

Thank you so much Terry for your glowing & detailed review, as I still haven't been able to post pictures as of yet! I can't tell you what a pleasure it was having you as our very 1st guests in this property! And even taking into account our other vacation rental, you are the FIRST to ever leave us a "love letter" upon your departure. Even our cleaning gal was really impressed & appreciative! We would love to have you back anytime! Kristine
Feel like you're in Nature, but still be within the city limits, and only a 15min. drive to the stadium for those Game days!
