Excellent stay!
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.

Great find!!!
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.
