Graduation UGA
We had a great 2 night stay at this well appointed home very conveniently located to all the college activities we needed to be present for . Comfortable beds, master bedroom was fantastic. 1/2 bath downstairs off kitchen with a set of bunk beds . The other bedroom had a full bath upstairs as well. The only thing to be aware of is a rather steep set of stairs from parking car area, well lit but steep for an elderly person to enter the home . Super communicative, and the home was clean and had amazing extra's like toiletries and coffee! Would happily stay again!

Excellent Stay!
Don’t bother paying a fortune to stay in Athens! This lovely cottage is convenient and offers amenities an overpriced hotel room does not. Nicest hosts we may have ever worked with!

Great location
Everything was great- there are a lot of stairs for anyone with “mature” guests. Should be a consideration. Lacked proper toaster, corkscrew, and no soap/bodywash for the bathrooms. But overall. A lovely space for guests to stay and co-mingle.

A House That Felt Like Home
This house was small, but just perfect for our visit to the area. It gave us space to rest, with ample bathrooms, and yet we found ourselves around the kitchen table and sofa catching up between events. That made it perfect and we left with our hearts full. I would stay again. Great safe location close to town and minutes away from anything. We saw 4 deer and a natural creek. It was lovely.

Perfect Spot
The home was immaculately cleaned and organized. It is 100 yards from a massive brand new playground. Had a fun backyard for the kids (swings, trampoline). It felt like being in the mountains. We used the coffee maker, dish washer and washing machine - all worked great. No complaints! Would stay there again.
