The Bright Artist's Cottage was a great choice for our visit to Athens while attending a family wedding. Felt like home! It's beautiful with original artwork, all the amenities we needed, as well as close to all the hot spots in town. Thank you to Alex and Mel for wonderful communication as well.

Our group was in town for a wedding in a nearby location. The house is a perfect location for nearby excursions and in-town activities. The hosts were very communicative and helpful. The house is exactly as listed. So very cute and so roomy!! The kitchen is very well stocked with lots of spices and condiments which was very helpful for preparing a few meals while we were there. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

The house and property are super cute and clean! It was perfect was what we needed. The driveway is a little tricky with multiple cars but the property does say to drive on the pine straw and that was very helpful! The location is perfect for downtown Athens!! The property managers were very kind!
