Such a welcoming and put together home away from home when visiting Piedmont! We love the village decor feel which reminds us we are in an historic town. Really enjoy the laid back vibe of the hosts and the clean, home like environment within walking distance to one of our favorite restaurants!
We truly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfectly nestled in the middle of town. The loft itself was very clean and had a great design. Definitely would stay again.

The location is excellent, close to many small towns in NE GA and walking distance to dining. The apartment was attractive and clean with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable bed. Check-in and out went smoothly as did communication with host. We would definitely stay there again.

Thanks, Susan. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. So glad you enjoyed the stay at the Haven at Hazel Loft. We look forward to hosting you again soon at any of our properties.
We loved the Loft on Hazel! It was very easy to get into and out of the area. The apartment itself is charming and well equipped for what you need to make your stay wonderful. Michele the host provided the information without having to ask. We love the NGA area and found Demorest charming and a centralized area for wine tasting on the East side!
We have now stayed at one or another of these properties on 3 occasions. Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Also convenient with parking at the front door and so easy to come and go. I am sure we will be back.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate the five stars! We are glad you found the Loft adorable and that it met all your needs.
Downtown loft was perfect. My daughter is an athlete at Piedmont University, I came to visit during spring break since she had practices and downtown loft was a perfect location. We enjoyed staying here with it so close to everything we needed. Will definitely be back.

Thanks so much for leaving us a review. We always look forward to hosting our Piedmont families. We appreciate the five-star review and look forward to hosting you again on your next visit.
I enjoyed my stay at this very cute condo. It is well decorated, comfortable and has everything needed for a couple or small family. The location near the University and restaurants is a huge plus. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. I will definitely stay here again in the next few years while my daughter is at Piedmont.
We stayed in apartment c. It was clean, comfortable and very elegantly decorated. The property managers were quick to respond via messaging. We will stay here again.

The downtown Loft was perfect for our visit with our daughter that attends Piedmont University. The loft was very clean and super cozy! The beds are also very comfortable. The pictures are great but it’s even better in person. We would definitely recommend staying there. 5 out of 5 stars!

Thank you so much for the five-star review. I say this often in reviews: We love hosting the Piedmont families. They are always the perfect, gracious guests and enjoy how close Haven at Hazel is to the university.
We had a great stay at this property in Demorest, GA. It was clean, quiet, and very comfortable, with easy parking just a few feet from the front door. Check-in was a breeze, and the location in peaceful downtown Demorest was perfect for exploring the scenic North Georgia mountains. We did have a small issue with the water heater at first, but the owner responded immediately and resolved it quickly—hot showers for the rest of the trip! Overall, a great experience and would definitely stay again.

It was so clean and spacious, the air conditioning worked really great which was nice since it was so hot! The beds were very comfortable, there was lots of seating available for family to visit. The only thing i would suggest is some baking pans and a few more stove pots and pans.
We are delighted with our stay at the Havens at Hazel. We were in the Downtown Loft. The facilities were excellent. We appreciate the full refrigerator and freeze. The shower is amazing. The hosts are great folks. They gave us extra assistance that we needed. We will certainly be staying there again as we have family in the area.
Needed someplace convenient to the college and this was just the thing! Great location to a couple restaurants and coffee shop as well as within walking distance to the school. Perfectly described and well maintained property. Such a cute place with all you might need while away! Owners are very responsive to messages and very friendly! A true gem! Will definitely be back.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We enjoy hosting great guests like you. I look forward to hosting you again soon.
This beautiful space was spotlessly clean, conveniently located, & exceptionally peaceful. Every amenity I needed was available. Check-in was a piece of cake, & the host answered all my questions before I even needed to ask. The king bed is very soft, for those who enjoy a pillowy mattress. Cozy, comfortable stay. Can't wait to return!

Thanks so much for the 5-star review of the Haven at Hazel Loft. Perfection is a gracious review and rewarding to hear when your goal is always guest satisfaction. We look forward to your return. For your next stay, check out our other Haven at Hazel property units. Each unit is styled differently, which is why the sign on the building says "Haven at Hazel Boutique Lodging."
Excellent place and owner. VRBO website could improve
The place was lovely. Just perfect for us. The hosts were communicative and friendly.
My less than perfect review comes from my frustration with VRBO forcing me to sign up with three additional sites. I couldn’t log in to talk to my host until I did. Now I have one password for multiple sites who all want to have my data and email address. Thanks a lot.

I'm so glad you found the place lovely and perfect. We work hard to provide a great guest experience with everything within our control. It's unfortunate that VRBO policies impacted your rating of our property. These ratings are usually for your experience with the host and the property, not VRBO.
Parking was easy and convenient. Excellent restaurants in walking distance. Very clean and well stocked. Would stay again!
