The house was above and beyond my expectations. House was very clean and neat. You can tell the owners take pride in their property. Also, it was very close to downtown and UGA. I would stay here again!

GMEA Conference

We stayed at this lovely property for a conference at UGA. The house is close to the school, making our trips a breeze. It is beautifully appointed and even prettier in person. The only "difficult" part of the house is parking. To park in the driveway, you have to move a manual gate and do a little planning if there are two cars (single lane driveway). Street parking was available for some of our stay and that was much easier. We would absolutely stay here again- it's charming and there are restaurants in walking distance. Highly recommend!

A literal refuge!

We had this house rented for the weekend for a football game. One week before our rental, Hurricane Helene left our home and businesses without power and water. I contacted the host and she was responsive and gracious enough to let us come before our rental date and take refuge here while we were without power at home. The house is spotless and very comfortably appointed. We are grateful for her kindness and will definitely stay here again.

The perfect respite

This house was exactly what we needed to settle our daughter into her first year at UGA. Had plenty of space for our family and had a gate we could park our cars behind - that felt like an added bonus honestly! House was clean and prepared for our visit and the hosts were incredibly responsive, communicative and accommodating. Will definitely be back.

If I could give the cottage more than 5 stars, I would. Molly was an incredible host, making sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The cottage is well kept and super clean. Convenient to downtown and the university. Thank you! We'll definitely stay here again.

A week in Athens

Overall the stay was very nice. There was a small issue with the A/C which the host discovered (from remote NEST access) and the repair was done the next morning already - Thank you! The initial notification with the check-in information did not get through (I wonder if that's an issue with VRBO, because that happened the second time to us) The location is not the nicest area of Athens (that would likely be south of the city center), but it close to the center. Thanks a lot!

Family Visit

My daughter is preparing to relocate to Athens for graduate school and we needed to stay a few days to find an apartment and acclimate her to the city. This little spot was just perfect. The home was spacious and clean. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked and my daughter and I enjoyed coffee in the morning and wine in the evening on the front porch. And you can't beat the location - close to everything and private parking. The owners were responsive and addressed a minor issue promptly. Overall, a great spot!
