Other things to note While this home was just updated in 2023, it does maintain its beautiful character.

UGA trip
We rented the house for a long weekend for a swim meet. Lea was so attentive and helpful. The house was immaculate. Location was quick and easy for access to UGA campus as well as restaurants and groceries. Great place! We definitely will try to use it again when we are back in town.

Trip to Athens
Had a great time at Lea's property! Everything was super organized, beautifully decorated and clean. The location was great, far enough out of the busy student sections, but close enough to dinner, cocktails and our golf tournament. VRBO had some challenges with their messaging hub, and Lea was working on it and very very helpful. Definitely recommend.

Lea was an incredible host and truly went out of her way to make sure we were perfectly equipped for our stay with our two young children and my parents! She prepped a room for the littles with blackout options, pack n play, children’s utensils/plates, etc and made sure we had everything we needed! I will definitely be staying in this property again! We had friends visit us from Atlanta (who also manage multiple properties) and they were in awe of the little touches, notes and consideration they have clearly put into making us comfortable! ❤️

This place is SO nice and comfortable. The decor is homey and the beds are comfortable. Lea, the host, has literally thought of everything. She was very easy to text or ask questions if we needed it. We would definitely stay here again!
