Fabulous visit to Athens!
We visited Athens the weekend of Easter to spend the holiday with my college freshman. The kitchen had everything we needed to create special meals during our stay. The house was clean and inviting. Our little ones loved the playground in the back and we all enjoyed the outdoor space. We look forward to coming back!

Classic Athens-beautiful home!
Our stay couldn’t have been better. Perfect ‘home’ for hosting our niece’s baby shower. The hosts were very communicative and made extra efforts to personalize our stay. The home is spacious, comfortable beds, and more than stocked kitchen. We had everything we needed to prepare and serve meals, and then some. Would most definitely book again!

Comfort and convenience
This home had all the amenities necessary to have a comfortable place to stay in between family activities. It is in a lovely neighborhood and was close to everywhere we were obliged to go. The only problem was the rain for two days which the owner had no power to prevent so we were very grateful to be able to use the garage to enter the house.

Needs a lot of love!!!
I start by saying this house has a ton of potential. That said, the house is in dire need of some owner love and care. We were very disappointed multiple times throughout our stay. From arriving to a dirty kitchen and having to clean out the fridge from prior guests including a cooked meal left in a pan, to dirty pots, pans, dishes, and broken appliances and furniture. The floors throughout were dirty requiring us to vacuum on arrival. The garage was filthy with the garage fridge loaded with things from prior guests. The oven was so dirty with previously spilled food that it was unusable and made the house smell like smoke when we began to preheat it. The lovely backyard needs to be maintained to be usable. Again, the house has potential but urgently needs attention. The owner was responsive to our first issue, but unresponsive and unapologetic to any further concerns despite multiple text messages.

We stayed at this lovely home for a family wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. The location was ideal, close to family, and it was wonderful to be able to spend time together in such a beautiful home. A special treat was spotting deer while enjoying our morning coffee. We will definitely be back!

Birthday Trip to Athens
This house is located in a great part of town, surrounded by the beautiful nature of Athens. The location to downtown Athens and the UGA campus was ideal and will be great for any planned event you may have. The house accommodates 12-14 guests, includes 3.5 baths, has all kitchen essentials, and a washer and dryer. The outside porch and deck made our experience complete! This house is one of the best places we have ever stayed! All amenities were included to ensure our visit was perfect. We will certainly stay here again.
