ATHENS-Area UGA Game Day Retreat/Private Sauna/Sleeps 10
Sauna Suite/King SI 5 Bedrooms, Private Sauna Suite, TVs throughout/adjustable king Spa Suite, Four Spa Bathrooms, Chef's kitchen, game lounge, full dining room, sleeps 10!
Welcome to your UGA Game Day getaway — a spacious, beautifully appointed 5-bedroom retreat designed for unforgettable weekends with family and friends. Just approximately minutes from Sanford Stadium, this home sleeps up to 10 guests and combines the ex28 citement of Athens with the space, comfort, and amenities of a private retreat.
STAY TOGETHER. PLAY TOGETHER. RELAX IN STYLE.
From the moment you arrive, there’s room to spread out and enjoy the weekend. Soaring ceilings, beautiful finishes, and generous gathering spaces create an upscale yet comfortable setting for your group.
At the heart of the home is a large gourmet chef’s kitchen with plenty of room for game-day breakfasts, family dinners, and late-night snacks. Gather around the dining table, relax in the spacious living areas, or head upstairs to the entertainment lounge and bar for a night in.
YOUR OWN SPA-LIKE RETREAT
The King Spa Suite is designed for serious relaxation, featuring an adjustable king bed, luxurious spa-style bath, soaking tub with its own TV, separate shower, double vanities, beautiful marble finishes, and a second TV in the bedroom.
An additional queen suite offers its own relaxing spa atmosphere and access to a private in-home sauna — the perfect place to unwind after a full day in Athens.
With multiple full bathrooms throughout the home, your entire group has space to get ready without the game-day bathroom scramble. Guest areas are thoughtfully stocked with hotel-inspired touches, including spa robes, hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and soap.
GAME NIGHT STARTS AT HOME
There’s plenty to do even when you’re not in Athens. Enjoy PlayStation, Wii and VR gaming, multiple TVs, board games, giant Connect Four, an electric guitar, and an upstairs lounge and bar area made for hanging out together.
Whether you’re watching football, challenging the kids to a tournament, or simply relaxing and catching up with friends, there’s room for everyone to enjoy the weekend their way.
5 BEDROOMS — SLEEPS 10
The home offers five comfortable bedrooms, including the King Spa Suite, a queen sauna suite, additional queen bedrooms, and a two-twin bedroom — making it ideal for families, couples, and groups traveling together.
You’ll also have a full-size laundry room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large driveway with abundant parking.
UGA, ATHENS & NORTH GEORGIA AT YOUR DOORSTEP
Enjoy the energy of a UGA weekend without giving up the space and serenity of a private home. Sanford Stadium is approximately 28 minutes away, with Athens dining, shopping, and entertainment within easy reach.
You’ll also be convenient to Braselton and Chateau Elan, with shopping, groceries, coffee, and everyday necessities nearby. Recreation options include nearby walking and running areas, an aquatic/recreation center, plus neighborhood tennis and a seasonal community pool, subject to availability and community rules.
Come for the game. Stay for the spa. Stay up late playing games. Wake up together over coffee and breakfast.
This isn’t just a place to sleep on game day — it’s part of the weekend.
DINING, GAME DAY & ATHENS NIGHTLIFE
Make a weekend of it and experience some of the best of Athens. Downtown Athens offers an incredible mix of restaurants, cocktail spots, breweries, live music, and game-day destinations, with many favorites located within walking distance of one another and the UGA campus.
For a memorable dinner, try Last Resort Grill, a longtime Athens favorite known for Southern-inspired cuisine; The National for a more elevated Mediterranean-inspired dinner; The Place for refined Southern favorites directly across from the UGA Arch; or South Kitchen + Bar for Southern cuisine and cocktails in the historic Georgian Hotel.
For a more casual game-day atmosphere, head to Trappeze Pub for craft beer and elevated pub fare, or Paloma Park, where the large outdoor beer garden and giant screen make it especially popular for watching football.
Beer lovers won’t want to miss Creature Comforts Downtown Taproom, one of Athens’ signature brewery experiences and a favorite gathering spot on UGA weekends.
When you’re ready for a night out, downtown Athens is home to the legendary Georgia Theatre and 40 Watt Club for live music, along with rooftop bars, pubs, cocktail spots, and plenty of places to celebrate after the game.
Game-day weekends are extremely busy, so we recommend making dinner reservations when available and allowing extra time for downtown parking and transportation.
Come for the Dawgs, enjoy the best of Athens, then escape the crowds and return to your own spacious private retreat for the night.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.
