Great location, dated property

The neighborhood is great and the location was central to everything we wanted to do in Atlanta. The house and property haven’t been updated in quite a while. Things were clean, but the mattress wasn’t comfortable, the shower had a grungy non-slip mat, and the main smoke-detector was disabled.

Conference/vacation

Had a lovely stay. Super easy location to get to the conference center (15 min drive) and a delightful refuge in the evening. We would stay again! The house is a little more overgrown in the winter than the summer picture suggests, but that was minor.

Charming cottage and gardens

Our friends stayed here while in town for a visit. They loved this little cottage and the gardens surrounding it giving it high marks in all areas. Before leaving they mentioned that the next time they come to town they want to stay there again.

A MUST Stay!

The house was everything described. The yard was beautiful (although covered in snow while we were there!). All of the amenities one could need were there. Check in was easy. The neighborhood is safe and beautiful. There are a few restaurants/coffee shop within a 4 block walk which was great. I'd definitely stay again!

Beautiful property, amazing location!

The house itself is great, but the real star of this listing is the property and location. It is super private because of the way the lot is positioned. The outdoor areas are amazing. The host was very responsive. Would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Cute Bungalow for a Week

For my first Vrbo experience, this was a great one! This place was perfect for our needs. It was in a great area and quiet, as I had to work offsite for most of the week while my son attended camp. The house was charming and well equipped for our needs. Love the gardens! Host was very responsive to any of our needs. Will definitely stay there again.

Decatur, GA

We enjoyed our stay at this delightful and cozy home in a beautiful neighborhood in Decatur near Atlanta. The sights in Atlanta. were easy to get to from this location and we had no problem driving to the zoo, downtown and aquarium from the house. The screened-in porch off the kitchen was a favorite spot and we spent most of our time there while at the house.

Great stay, great location, excellent support from owner.

The location and house were perfect and exactly as described. The garden area was a blessing for early morning relax time. The owner was extremely supportive and helpful. We loved the location within a quiet friendly community and in close proximity to a few excellent smaller towns with a variety of restaurants.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property as the next step in building our dream home. The huge side lot is promising us the ability to have a nice custom home while keeping the existing home to have a small little compound for family and friends.

What makes this property unique

The house is the only one that is positioned on the one block of Gordon Street, keeping the privacy around the home pristine. The current side yard is great for outside relaxing with the two fountains and gardens.
