Cozy, relaxing, centrally located, home away from home

We really enjoyed staying here, this space was perfect for our family. Upon walking inside, we felt welcome and the decor is so cozy. The beds were very comfortable and the dining and kitchen areas were spacious and well lit. We really enjoyed the Roku and living room space to relax.

Wedding Weekend

My family and I stayed here for my niece's wedding. The place was spacious, very clean, and well stocked with amenities such as towels, soaps, detergents, and shampoo. The location is great, being very near to restaurants, 2 grocery stores, and gas station. We felt very safe in the neighborhood. The owner answered any questions that we had promptly. I highly recommend!!!

Great Spot

Once we located the house (we thought it was a business complex) we loved how easy it was to get in and out of the neighborhood. Close to everything we needed. House had everything we needed.

Great Stay!

We stayed for one night while visiting with friends in the area but it was great! We loved having two bathrooms and the downstairs bedroom had a huge mirror so my daughter and her friends has plenty of room to get ready. Super simple check in/check out. Definitely recommend!

FANTASTIC FIND!

Absolutely perfect for our needs; the upstairs master with en-siite bathroom and the downstairs bedroom with two double beds and a full bath made it just right for our group! The kitchen was well equipped and we really loved the proximity to campus. Hope to stay here again!

This is a great area to stay in. We come down to watch my daughter play softball and it’s not far from the field. We have stayed at another condo in this complex and both great! We will definitely stay there again!

Very nice place

This house is perfect. The layout is amazing, the community is small and quiet. I lived and worked as a Deputy Sheriff in Athens, and this property totally exceeded my thoughts of the area. I now have a grandson and will be booking this property a lot.

Perfect spot for family visiting UGA

Our daughter graduated from UGA this weekend and we needed a spot for family and friends to use as “base camp” between ceremonies while they were in town. This property was perfect! Comfortable, clean and had everything we needed and more.

Athens Overnight

Great curb appeal! Minor improvements needed — a few light bulbs were out but overall good one-two night stay. Close to college town so expect to embrace younger culture in the surrounding housing community. In town for concert and it was exactly what we needed - host was clear and communicated necessary information.

UGA game day

We had a great experience here! We stayed overnight for a UGA football game. We got there at midnight and left at 10:00 am so our stay was short. But the place was super cute and clean. Wish we had more time to enjoy it. Very convenient location to the UGA campus- easy Uber downtown. Would definitely stay again!
