Come and experience comfort and convenience in our beautifully designed 4BD / 3BA home just minutes from Downtown Athens and UGA.

☀ 5 Min Drive to Downtown
☀ 5 Min Drive to UGA Campus
☀ 2 Miles to Sanford Stadium

This new build features an open floor plan, private parking, custom art, and an outdoor space with a fire pit, cornhole boards, and outdoor dining. Meredith and I hope you enjoy our high-quality linens, modern amenities, and thoughtfully outfitted kitchen during your stay.

We aim to provide a fully self-check-in experience, but Meredith and I live in Athens and are happy to come by in person if needed.


This bright new build (2022) is located right off MLK inside the loop. It is 1/4 mile from an entrance to the Firefly Greenway Trail along the river. "The Plantation" restaurant is across the street for southern cuisine. This location is convenient while offering a quiet neighborhood feel, with most destinations in Athens under 15 minutes away.

Free parking is available for up to 4 vehicles. The parking lot can be difficult when backing out. If needed, you can also park in the pine straw area to the left of the driveway, in front of the main entrance.
