This was the most perfect place to stay for vacation. Everything was amazing, and the hosts are amazing!! Highly recommend staying here!! It will not disappoint!
The property was lovely and clean. The owners were easy to work with and very responsive to any request. It was a perfect accommodation for our short get away and we hope to stay again in the future.
This is such a charming carriage house. Kelly and Todd are amazing host, as well. I would highly recommend a stay here. Comfortable bed, clean and comfortable apartment and beautiful property. Big bonus was that my fur baby was able to tag along on our weekend get-away. Thank you, Kelly and Todd!
Me and my family stayed here for a 2 day getaway and we absolutely loved it! So nice, peaceful and private! We also loved the pool! Although the owners house is connected, Kelly and Todd give you all the privacy you need! Would definitely love to come back!
I stayed for a 6 week school and was very impressed with the property. Is beautiful and quiet with plenty of room to stretch your legs, which was absolutely perfect for me and my services dog.
We loved staying at this property overnight while being in town for our children’s FFA Event.
The space was welcoming, clean and exactly what we needed for a quick recharge.
We come to the Commerce area about 4-6 times a year & look forward to staying here again soon.
Wow, I cannot say enough incredible things about our stay! Unfortunately, our trip was interrupted with hurricane helene but we felt extremely safe waiting it out at the house and our hosts were so thoughtful and responsive, it felt like a 5 star accommodation! The entire property was so peaceful that it was the perfect escape for our family!
This place is a little hidden gem! It's in the country . It was very clean and the pool was beautiful! The host we're awesome.!.. they were very friendly and willing to do anything to make your stay more comfortable! It was perfect for our family to stay! If your older the steps going to it might be tuff but other than that it's perfect!
What a lovely stay we had! The property is truely beautiful, and we found its location incredibly convenient - just a short 10 min ride to exit with outlet mall, Walmart, and restaurants. A special thank you to Kelly and her family. Very friendly when we saw them out in the yard. Kelly is so knowledgeable and thoughtful to share insight into her passion for creating a pesticide-free, pollinator-friendly environment. I have not seen so many Monarch butterflies in one place for a long time. Made my heart sing! We will be visiting this peaceful paradise again!!
We were looking for a local pool house that we could spend a weekend with the kids. We found this great little paradise with a gorgeous pool. The landscaping is amazing with gorgeous flowers and and colors. The pool is very pretty with a deep blue bottom that just pops. The place itself has a couple of rooms and a bathroom and is very clean. There is only one TV in the living room so plan for that. The AC struggles with GA heat but that's understandable. There is a steep stairway to get to it but it was worth it. Loved it, definitely going back.
Had a Wonderful Time !!! The place is excellent !!!

About the host
Hosted by Kelly Graham
We are Todd and Kelly, parents to three daughters, one an adult who has grown and flown, one 10th grader and one 8th grader. We love to travel and stay in VRBOs to experience new places with our family! We enjoyed it so much we decided to host with our space! After living in our garage apartment for 3 years while we built our main house, it became a coveted spot for family and friends to stay. It was jokingly referred to as “the bed and breakfast.” We decided in August 2024 to see if people would enjoy it as a VRBO and we listed it! We hope you love staying with us!
Why they chose this property
We live on 60+ acres, most of which is our hay farm, the rest is a forest of hardwood trees, and extensive and ever expanding butterfly and pollinator gardens. We love our peace and quiet, and our location is ideal for visiting so many wonderful places that northeast Georgia has to offer!
What makes this property unique
We aren’t investors, we live on property and manage everything about our property ourselves. We are personally committed to ensuring our guests are set up for a wonderful stay. Our 60 acre country estate gives you a place to get away from it all, with the convenience to be able to get anything you need within 10 minutes. Your comfort, safety and happiness are our goals.
