We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Dawg House. The property itself is absolutely stunning, and so relaxing to sit outside on the porch. While we were a little concerned at first, having to go outside to go between the units, it wasn’t an issue at all. The amenities and hospitality were fantastic. We appreciate all the special touches!
Had a great stay. Separate up and down stairs units were perfect for two families. Everything we needed. We travel to Athens a couple of times a year and stay again.
Home was perfect for our group, host were fantastic and easy to communicate with… highly recommend

It was a pleasure to host you and your group. It's wonderful to be able to share this amazing town of Athens. Between the amazing academic offerings and achievements of University University of Georgia, our amazing Football legacy (Go Dawgs), Restaurants, Music, Arts, the UGA Golf Course, a New Hockey Team (Go Rock Lobsters), and so much more. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to the opportunity to host you again in the future.
My buddy’s and I stayed here for a game, nicest place around. Definitely will be back. Nicest people!

Thank you so much James! We are so happy to share this home away from home experience with visitors like yourself, so you can enjoy everything Athens has to offer! We are so excited you and your buddies enjoyed your stay! We look forward to the opportunity to host your next visit!!
This was a beautiful location and fully equipped. Super close to UGA and the botanical gardens. We came for the SEC swim meet and would absolutely come again. Great hosts and a fun time had by all… and some incredibly fast swimming!
This was our first time staying in a VRBO in Athens instead of a hotel. This place was much better than any hotel in Athens and cheaper if you come on a parent’s weekend like we did. Great location, very clean, and appears to be new remodeled. We enjoyed our stay very much and will use this location again.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Comfortable beds. Lots of seating space. But, frustrating to find out that the "entire" house was not ours for our rented time. The owners were there and stayed in the main floor of the house. Really odd to me and was NOT disclosed in the rental description. This meant that we had to go OUTSIDE to go up and down stairs to get together with each other.

Everything is disclosed in the description and house rules. As caretakers of a very large property, we do reside in a private area apart from the guests. Guests have total privacy and private entrances.
We stayed at Dawg Manor while in town for a work conference. The property is in a great location that is convenient to town and has a beautiful view from the back deck. The home was spotless and inviting upon arrival. The host promptly responded and graciously returned an item left behind free of charge. We highly recommend this location and would stay again when we return for future conferences.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Dawg Manor and thankful we were able to find the item and get it back to you guys! We look forward to the opportunity to host you again in the future!! Go Dawgs!
It was a pleasure to host you for the Georgia vs Georgia tech game Friday night! What a game that was! We love Athens and enjoy being able to share a place for others to enjoy easy access to the stadium, the campus, restaurants, with lots of room, just across from the UGA golf course. We look forward to the opportunity to host you in the future!
