About this property

Sunny Secret Garden Getaway -- a private guest suite w/ fire pit -- 7 mi to UGA!

Welcome! Rest and recharge in nature before some game-day fun in our private sunlit suite complete with outdoor flower and vegetable gardens and our small flock of hens.

Enjoy a complimentary bottle of wine or beer in your own private garden complete with adirondak chairs and fire pit after the game, or cozy up next to the fireplace for a relaxing night in after a day of fun around town.

It's our joy to create an unforgettable stay for you in our little garden getaway!

The private guest suite is located on the lower level of our home. Walk around the front of the house and through the honeysuckle archway to the secluded garden and patio area with a private entrance with keypad entry. Upon entering, you will see a small dinette set and a cozy and colorful living space with fireplace. Down the hall is the queen-size guest bedroom and around the corner is the breakfast kitchenette and full bath.

We have a flock of 4 backyard chickens on site behind the rental property. The chickens will remain in their coop during your stay. Please feel free to go say hi to them! We do not have any roosters, so there's no noise save for a few happy clucks.


NOTES:

- It should be noted that we do occupy the home in the floors above, along with our two children. We value your privacy as well as our own. We've created the space to allow you to feel as much autonomy as humanly possible. Should you need anything at all, we are only a call or text away!

- BREAKFAST KITCHENETTE: There is a refrigerator, a microwave, a toaster, and coffee goodies provided for you! We do not have a stove or oven and no kitchen sink. We will provide a "bus bucket" that you can place dirty dishes in and place outside so we can clean them and return them to you. We have provided dish soap and sponges for cleaning cups and plates that have been wiped clean in the bathroom sink.

- KIDDOS: the guest bedroom can also accommodate an infant or small child sleeping in a portable crib. (pack-n-play not provided)

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Hannah Malone

Host profile image
My husband and I moved to Athens from NYC in 2021. We both love hospitality and have been welcoming all sorts into our home for the 12 years we've been married. We've stayed in countless guest homes in the US and across the world and now it's our turn to host! We love travel, cooking, renovating and designing our home, and gardening. I think our love for these things will come through in how we've designed our hosting spaces.

Why they chose this property

Our 1970s split level daydream is situated in one of Watkinsville's oldest neighborhoods. It is quiet and grown in with mature trees, gardens, and abundant wildlife! We enjoy seeing deer pass through the yard, birds on the feeders, and little chipmunks scurrying around. Our home sits on 1.3 acres and backs up to a large wood, which is visible from the private secret garden entry.

It's proximity to both Athens AND Watkinsville makes this an ideal location. Watkinsville is cute and quaint, quiet with lots of history and old homes...also a budding arts scene! Athens is young and hip, artsy, and has long been a major stop for a host unique artists in the music scene.

We moved here to still have access to some of the "weird" that the city used to offer us, but with the pace and space of a more relaxed suburban country life.

What makes this property unique

Our home is in an excellent location, close to the Athens loop and downtown Watkinsville. A short drive to antique in Monroe. And a little over an hour to Atlanta.We are located just south of the Athens "Loop" and just north of downtown Watkinsville. It is a 5-7 minute drive to the Epps Bridge shopping area (Trader Joes, Wal-Mart, Kroger, and tons of retail and dining options), 2 minute drive to a Publix grocery, 6 minutes drive to downtown Watkinsville, 12 minute drive to UGA stadium, and ~17 minutes to downtown Athens.
