This home was PERFECT!

This home was perfect for our family's stay in Athens. The interior layout is spacious and very thoughtfully appointed, with both beautiful and comfortable furnishings. The large kitchen has tons of counter space. It's perfect for both the chef and others to gather. The upstairs bedrooms are comfortable and quiet. The house is set back from the street on a very private lot with a fenced backyard, where our dog could run.

Thanks Doug!

Couldn’t have asked for a better home or host! Doug was a 5 star host from booking through checkout. In fact, he even went out of his way to drop off jumper cables for my rental car’s dead battery. That’s going above and beyond. The house itself was just perfect for what my group of friends needed. Spacious, clean, and cozy. The drive into DT Athens wasn’t bad at all. Ubers were always available within 10 minutes too. The setting was perfect for a Deep South experience, nestled in the woods with a running creek to enjoy your morning coffee to. Thanks again Doug.

My Home away from home

I had the honor and pleasure of staying here for the last four months for work. It was such an amazing place to come "home" to after a long, hard day. You can hear the brook 24 hours a day, especially from the screened porch off the kitchen. Watch the dear eating from the bay window in the front. It is pure magic. Doug was an amazing host who addressed any any all my needs. He was reachable and kind and attentive. The area was peaceful and still close to town, best of both worlds. I could go on for days. Don't stay here, I'm afraid the house will be booked for the next time I'm in town. 10/10. Thanks Doug!

Graduation celebration

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this home. We were in town for my daughter's graduation from the University of Georgia, and it was so nice to have a home to hang out in rather than being in hotel rooms. We were comfortable and able to spread out. Also, it is far enough out in the country to be quiet and away from the busyness of Athens, but you can be downtown in 15 minutes. Douglas was easy to get a hold of and quick to answer any questions. He is an excellent host, and I would highly recommend his home to other friends and family.

We immediately felt comfortable at this property. When we arrived there was a herd of deer in the side yard and we loved watching them in the mornings and evenings. This home had plenty of sitting areas and would nicely accommodate families with different ages. It had everything we needed for our family to spend Thanksgiving together. The heated toilet seats were always a nice addition!

Parent’s Weekend

What a great place to stay with friends while visiting UGA for our daughter’s sorority Parent’s Weekend! The house was perfect to share with friends, the screened in porch was a great place to catch up on some work and the kitchen was great for preparing dishes for the weekend. Our daughter’s favorite spot was the window seat in the front of the house where she napped in the sunshine. We will definitely consider David’s place for a future visit.

Clean, comfortable and spacious home with a great host

We stayed at this home when visiting our son at UGA. The home is very comfortable with lots of space, and is close to grocery stores and a handful of fast food and sit down restaurants. The 15-20 minute drive to UGA was easy enough, although a little far to go back and forth multiple times a day. Douglas was very responsive to questions and seemed genuinely interested in ensuring that we had a great stay. We would stay here again on a future trip.

PERFECTION!

This place was perfect. My short stay included myself and my 3 daughters. There was plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and also several comfortable places for us to congregate. Every where we looked we discovered something visually interesting between both the architecture and the artwork. We loved that this space felt more like coming home versus being just a crash pad. I'm looking foreword to booking again when family comes to visit.

Perfect Spot for Family Reunion!

My brothers and I stayed here for two weeks with our families, and it was perfect! Cozy, warm and inviting, with plenty of space indoors and out. The interior decor was beautiful- loved all the inspo pics that doubled as wall art. We had 3 families: 6 adults and 6 kids ranging from 9-17 years old - all with varying sleep schedules and living preferences. Parents slept on the top floor & the rooms on the bottom floor were perfect for the cousins to have their own space. The twin room off the primary was a nice bonus. There were more than enough blankets & linens for everyone. The living room/den off the entrance was my fave- lots of light, a cozy bay window seat, a couple guitars and a cabinet full of board games. The screened-in porch was the parents' hangout at night, while the kids had 3 TVs to enjoy a movie, video games, etc. As others noted, the internet was awesome --handled remote work (ie, video calls) plus streaming/gaming apps just fine. The kitchen came with everything we needed: multiple options for making coffee, plenty of dishes, utensils and food storage. It was hot, so the ice maker & AC were much appreciated. The kids were bummed that the swing was knocked down during a recent storm and no basketball hoop, but the giant yard was perfect for relay races, sports and lawn bowling. We were in awe of the multiple deer sightings! The owner, Doug, was great -- he responded quickly to my gazillion questions and checked in on us. Truly an unforgettable family reunion!

This house is located very close to downtown Athens and UGA. Owner is very responsive and easy check in and out. Lots of outdoor space and a screened in porch to hang out in. My teen told me the WiFi connection was insane- apparently no lagging in games. I will forewarn if you have teens there aren’t tvs in three of the bedrooms but they have a large tv in the basement area with 3 futons. Great place to stay overall!

We loved this property. It looked exactly like the photos--very clean, spacious, relaxing seating areas, plenty of beds. You can hear the babbling brook from the bedrooms and it is so restorative. The decor is wonderful, too. Interesting art, streamlined design, nice vibe. Also, there is a screened-in porch where you can enjoy the trees and the creek. Also, Doug was extremely responsive and always available to answer questions and do whatever he could to make our stay terrific--which it was.
