This was the perfect home-base for a UGA football weekend. The house easily accommodated four adults and two teenagers. It was very easy getting to and from campus. It will definitely be the place we seek out the next time we need a place to stay in Athens.

Beautiful Athens Home

We enjoyed our stay at the Athens Escape! The house looked brand new. The bedrooms were spacious and master bathroom was HUGE! The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. We found everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare meals. I would book again if we are in the Athens area.

House was new and very clean. Close to everything you would need. Would have liked to have glasses in the house for the wine, instead of all plastic. Host was very responsive and would recommend this house to anyone interested in a clean, spacious up-to-date home.

Wedding

Wonderful home. The only negative comment is I requested an early check in and there was a charge of $25 per hour. I have rented many VRBO locations over the years and this is the first time that has been requested.
