This property was even better than advertised! Spacious, yet cozy — lots of attention was given to details that made our experience great! The home was also in a great location — walking distance to the Oconee River Park (.5 miles) and only a 5-minute drive from downtown Athens. The host was responsive to questions leading up to our stay and I am confident that she’d have been equally attentive had we had any issues during our stay. We didn’t though, and wewould stay again!

We had a great stay in Athens this past Bama/GA weekend at this lovely, spacious, well decorated property. We had a total of 7 people that stayed in the home and it was very comfortable and clean! I found the bed extremely comfortable, which is usually hard to come by when you are away from home. Do not hesitate to book this property. Jennifer was prompt on her responses and a wonderful host. Downtown is a quick 2-3 minute drive and close to campus. Thanks for having us!

Attending professional conference

We loved the clean, comfortable, and convenient 4-bedroom house, a great option to hotel rooms. Staying at this site allowed us to be 5-10 minutes from our conference in downtown Athens, while also providing a shared space for team building and planning. It was fantastic!

Wonderful house with terrific property manager

The property manager, Jennifer, is the best manager I have every had with a VRBO property. She responded very quickly to any and all questions I had. If I needed something at the house, she took care of it very quickly. The house matches the pictures. It is well maintained, clean, and in a conveniently located part of Athens. We will stay here again when our travels bring us back to Athens.
