About this property

1928 Historic Charmer - The BEST of Atlanta's Old and New

Hartford House is a true gem of an historic property in an historic neighborhood.

The home is comfortable and cozy, with the original layout retained. The convenient home also has special elements such as local decor and one-of-a-kind works of art.

Hartford House is a great mix of old and new - which fits Atlanta perfectly. Atlanta is a wonderful blend of traditional charm and modern cool.

When you stay with us, you will be close to downtown, all the best city sights, and transportation hubs.

Atlanta is a true FOUR season city. We are ready for summer right now! Not quite too hot yet - and lovely and sunny!

It's time for lively events and sunny porches!

Summer comes with fun festivals and great activities - games, concerts, and long sunny days. And we have amazing places to enjoy the festivities - the botanical garden is wonderful to stroll, as is the Georgia Aquarium. And Atlanta’s famous tree canopy shows off!!! Our amazing trees have new growth sprouting and flowers are blooming.

This city is a great place for a staycation or vacation. It is truly one of the most underrated cities in the US. Hartford House is close to most of the best events, sightseeing, and shopping in the Southeast.

There is something for everyone ... You can enjoy outside activities and the zoo; and there are also tons of indoor activities, such as museums, shopping, and performances, for any gloomy or rainy day. Hartford House is perfectly located for your home base while in the Atlanta area.

We call Hartford House our "nice and comfy" home base. We call it NICE because it has a few more details guests won't find in other rentals in the area, like a working gas fireplace, a roomy "sit and stay" front porch, a sunny and private side deck, and 3 sizes of beds and basically 3 levels of firmness. And TONS of pillows for even the most picky sleeper.

It's COMFY because guests are so comfortable they feel like they live here--everything you need to prepare meals or get comfortable after a day on the town. And with just a few blocks to the train station and a few stops on the train (or a few miles if driving) from the airport, guests find the house to be the perfect spot for their business or leisure travel.

Less than 3 miles from Mercedes-Benz Stadium, only a few blocks to the MARTA Train Station, and so close to Atlanta's tourist sites - such as the world-famous aquarium and our amazing little zoo.

10 minutes to Fox Theatre and other Midtown points of interest, like the world-famous Piedmont Park. Less than 10 minutes to the zoo, the aquarium, and Downtown. A short ride to the MKL sites. 3 minutes to 3 of the best breweries (and distillery) in the city. Close to some great natural areas (Arabia Mountain, Cascade Springs, Sweetwater Creek, and relatively close to Lake Lanier & Stone Mountain). Close enough to Chateau Elan for a day trip.

Nestled under Atlanta's famous tree canopy, on a quiet street, you will have all the convenience of the city, while in a restful, and REAL, neighborhood.

Believe it or not, we have foxes, owls, and lots and lots of birds. It's the best of both worlds...close to the glam of the city, but on a street that feels like the country!

Come visit and you will see why guests love Hartford House. Come enjoy the best of new Atlanta and old Atlanta.

This is a fantastic home and was perfect for our family of 4 while vacationing in Atlanta. It checks all the boxes: very clean, comfortable, great space to lounge (indoor and out), and overall a well maintained property. It is very conveniently located as well, 15 mins from Aquarium, Coke Museum, and in the other direction, Six Flags amusement park. The owners were so nice and worked proactively to ensure we had a great stay. Also, they were very responsive with our questions on arrival/departure days. We will be heading right back here on our next stay in Atlanta.

We only stayed 2 nights and visited the Georgia Aquarium. The house was exactly as represented. Lots of character and very well stocked with essentials. The front porch was a wonderful plus for us. There were 5 of us, 4 siblings in our 60’s and our 94 year old father. We spent both evenings there sitting on the porch, talking and laughing. Our host was very easy to communicate with. She provided lots of info that made our stay easy and stress free and responded quickly with any of our questions or concerns.

We had a wonderful stay at the 1928 Historic Charmer. As real estate agents, we see many homes and work with several investor-hosts, so we truly appreciate when a property is done exceptionally well — and this one absolutely stands out. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, creating a space that felt comfortable, welcoming, and beautifully maintained.The home was immaculate, well-appointed, and full of character, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time. We especially appreciated the host’s excellent communication throughout our stay — responsive, clear, and thoughtful from start to finish. That level of care truly makes a difference.We’re so grateful for the experience and would absolutely stay again. We will gladly recommend the 1928 Historic Charmer to others looking for an exceptional place to stay.

I tell all potential guests, I LOVE travelers. We love hosting others in our comfortable home in Atlanta. AND...we love when a guest has a nice stay and takes the time to provide a helpful review for others to read. It is particularly rewarding when we have guests with experience with traveling, hosts, and home stays. Our recent guests stated our home STANDS OUT. And we do try to do that - we are human, so we are not perfect ... but we do everything humanly possible to ensure all our guests know what to expect, have a clean and comfortable home to arrive to, will have any concern or question addressed, and will be treated with kindness and respect. We would openly host this guest again ... and encourage any potential guest who wants to see Atlanta to stay at Hartford House in Atlanta. We gladly welcome you to our amazing city!
