About this property
Peaceful Countryside Carriage House on 40 Acres with Saltwater Pool
Peaceful, private, and full of charm, this countryside carriage house offers a relaxing stay on 40 beautiful acres with a saltwater pool, gardens, and the comfort of a thoughtfully hosted space. It feels tucked away from the rush of everyday life while still being convenient to Commerce, Athens, nearby weddings, family visits, and North Georgia day trips.
ABOUT THIS PROPERTY Tucked away on 40 peaceful acres, this countryside carriage house offers a quiet and comfortable retreat with the kind of warmth guests remember. The setting feels calm, welcoming, and full of natural beauty, with open space, mature trees, gardens, and a saltwater pool that make it easy to slow down and enjoy the stay.
The carriage house is a private upstairs guest apartment located above the garage and attached to the owner’s full-time home. Guests have their own private entrance and their own separate indoor living space, so the stay feels independent and comfortable, while still offering the peace of being on a hosted property. This is a great fit for guests who want privacy and a peaceful setting, while also appreciating that they are not staying alone on an isolated property.
Inside, the space feels bright, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared, with everything needed for a restful weekend, family stay, wedding weekend, or peaceful getaway near Athens and Commerce. The layout includes 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. The primary bedroom features a king bed, while the second bedroom includes a bunk bed with a full-size lower bed and twin upper bunk, making the space a great fit for families, close friends, or small groups traveling together.
Guests can enjoy a full kitchen, dining nook, comfortable living area, and in-unit washer and dryer for added convenience. Thoughtful extras like a fully stocked coffee bar and bathroom amenities help make the stay feel easy, warm, and well cared for from the moment guests arrive.
One of the most special parts of the property is the outdoor experience. The saltwater pool, surrounding butterfly gardens, and wide-open countryside setting create a peaceful backdrop for morning coffee, afternoon swims, and quiet evenings under the sky. Whether you are here to attend a wedding, visit family, explore Athens, enjoy nearby hiking and outdoor activities, or simply recharge for a few days, the setting makes it easy to relax and feel away from it all.
This stay offers the best of both worlds: a true country retreat with easy access to shopping, dining, local events, and day trips. It works especially well for guests looking for a peaceful home base while spending time in Commerce, Athens, or the surrounding North Georgia area.

What a lovely stay we had! The property is truely beautiful, and we found its location incredibly convenient - just a short 10 min ride to exit with outlet mall, Walmart, and restaurants. A special thank you to Kelly and her family. Very friendly when we saw them out in the yard. Kelly is so knowledgeable and thoughtful to share insight into her passion for creating a pesticide-free, pollinator-friendly environment. I have not seen so many Monarch butterflies in one place for a long time. Made my heart sing! We will be visiting this peaceful paradise again!!

Amazing Place
We were looking for a local pool house that we could spend a weekend with the kids. We found this great little paradise with a gorgeous pool. The landscaping is amazing with gorgeous flowers and and colors. The pool is very pretty with a deep blue bottom that just pops. The place itself has a couple of rooms and a bathroom and is very clean. There is only one TV in the living room so plan for that. The AC struggles with GA heat but that's understandable. There is a steep stairway to get to it but it was worth it. Loved it, definitely going back.

We loved staying at this property overnight while being in town for our children’s FFA Event.
The space was welcoming, clean and exactly what we needed for a quick recharge.
We come to the Commerce area about 4-6 times a year & look forward to staying here again soon.
