This property was wonderful for our family stay. The layout made it easy for us to move around and not be on top of one another. We were very comfortable and felt that it was furnished well. I would definitely stay there again.
The house was spacious, comfortable, peaceful, and beautifully decorated. I highly recommend it if you are going to be in the Athens area. I look forward to staying there again.
This property met our needs perfectly, four bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. A giant hot water heater meant we could all freshen up at once. Two AC units kept the upstairs and downstairs comfortable. All beds had cozy foam mattresses. The location was near everything we needed for our family reunion weekend.
Great place to stay. My daughter was married in Day Chapel and we had a bunch of family with us. Clean, feels like it was newly renovated. Easy to get pretty much anywhere in Athens. Kitchen, living room, and dining room area is spacious and easy to have a lot of people together.
Great host who was very responsive. Beautiful house with comfortable and clean furniture. We will definitely use this place again for a nice game weekend with friends
House is nice and has plenty of room. Communication with owner/manager was excellent. The location is convenient but the neighborhood may be a concern to some thinking of staying here.
We had 6 adults and a baby. The house was very spacious, clean, and a great place to have everyone together. It’s the newest and biggest house on the street.
This house was perfect for us with 4 king bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Plenty of space for our family as well as the bridal party to get ready on wedding day! The neighbors were friendly and Tyler was so accommodating when we arrived earlier than our check in. It’s close to downtown which worked well on some late nights out. It was a great weekend—we’d stay again.

Sketchy neighborhood
We stayed for parent’s weekend and this house is great; plenty of room and bathrooms but if my husband was not with us I would not stay here.

Hi Laura, I am glad we got the opportunity to follow up with you after your stay. After speaking with you, we are glad to hear that you loved the house and that the home was clean and comfortable. I am sorry you felt this way about the neighborhood. We have had the chance to meet several of the neighbors on multiple occasions and most are older familes that have lived there for years or graduate students at UGA. We of course take the safety of our guests seriously and have never had a reason to be concerned. We do appreciate the feedback and will always try to improve for our next guest experience.
We stayed at this property for UGA graduation. The house is very well set up for an extended family. Four bedrooms each with its own bathroom, plus a half bath in the main area. The whole house is nicely decorated and well stocked. The communication with the host was great. My only negative is the neighborhood.

Not great
Great house!! In every way. But The neighborhood is more than sketchy. We got heckled twice on the way back from the basketball gay. And we were UGA fans. Unfortunately, won’t stay here again.

Hi Marc, We are so happy that you enjoyed the home. I am sorry you had an unfortunate experience walking through Athens. This is our first time hearing of an issue like this and I am sorry that was your experience.
We enjoyed our stay in this home. It was clean, nicely finished. Large rooms and bedrooms. Every bedroom had their own bathroom. Great for a large group. Only reservation was the neighborhood. Depending on which way you came into the property it was either sketchy or nice. But having said that, we realized it is a transition neighborhood with many properties being redone. We felt safe the entire time. Parking was an issue for us because we were in a bus. The roads are narrow and the parking pad was made for cars and trucks. But there was an empty lot across from the house that allowed us room to park. We enjoyed our time here and I would recommend it for large groups.
