Most pet-friendly stay in Atlanta!

We stayed here while visiting our family for Easter. The house is clean and well-appointed with a small kitchen and huge fenced yard. We brought our older dog and he felt right at home! Covered couches for dog naps were a huge perk. The owners are friendly and helpful and the location is perfect.

Great location

We spent all of our time in Atlanta at the Aquarium. This house was only about 20 minutes away. It was nice to get out of the hustle of downtown especially on a football weekend. The house was spotless, the backyard is huge. And the people at the horse stable were great about letting us visit and ask questions.

Everything was so easy and perfectly placed for us! They even left dog bowls and had a perfect fenced in yard for our dog. The owners were so easy to contact and had details of the house and every area well placed. They even gave us restaurant recommendations!

Perfect Location

House was perfect for our needs. Incredibly clean and well maintained. Location was convenient to everything we needed within minutes. Our stay was for my husband to recuperate after surgery until he could travel. I could leave him for whatever we needed and return within a short time. Kitchen was great for cooking. All spices, etc there for renters’ convenience were plentiful and fresh. Horses brought joy to our long days inside. Absolutely would recommend to others. Would rent again if in the area.

Wonderful place to stay!

We had a great visit - Russ and Colleen’s place is spotless and that’s a mighty feat for a pet friendly home! The location to downtown was perfect and it really was a special treat to wake up to horses every morning! They really make sure their guests have everything they need and were great with communication - we would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Colleen and Russ

We love sharing our home since we've been able to work remotely. We work from our family home in North Georgia. We moved to Decatur six years ago because our jobs moved to Midtown/Buckhead area. The location is perfect access to city events, shows, shopping, restaurants, hospitals, universities and more. We love the conveniences of city living. We stay there between guests and take advantage of what Atlanta offers. We come to the city for concerts, parks, shopping, restaurants, work, appointments and maintenance to the house. It's a great place and close to everything!

Why they chose this property

We moved to this area for work and the conveniences of intown living. We were fortunate that we came upon this perfect little bungalow. It's a pleasure to be able to share it now. The location is perfect! The horse park view is unbeatable and your only minutes from everything Atlanta. Once you stay here you will see the beauty and conveniences that are so close by. This property is a private home with a large private back yard. Park in the driveway or under the carport. The neighborhood is settled and our neighbors are great (if you see them☺). The street is perfect for walking. The fully stocked kitchen has everything for a short or long stay. Two bedrooms provide comfy queen and full size beds. We visit between guests to attend shows, work and property maintenance. Shopping, restaurants and grocery are just around the corner. Location is perfect for visiting everything Atlanta or to take a break from the highway for a few days.

What makes this property unique

This is city life surrounded by nature and its beauty. It's the best of both worlds!! Our neighborhood is established and quiet. This is a classic 1954 2-bedroom home with a beautiful yard surrounded by trees. The living room looks out to a peaceful horse park. Enjoy the beauty of the pasture and know you're just short ride to everything Atlanta offers and super easy access to the interstate. Private parking in the driveway or under the carport. The private fenced back yard makes this house better than pet friendly. If you travel with your fur baby, you both will love it!
