Perfect location

This house is in the perfect location, close to campus with several trails walking distance from the house. The kitchen was better stocked than we even anticipated, leading us to cook at home more than we anticipated. Would highly recommend this VRBO.

Excellent Stay

We were in town for a wedding and this property was very close to downtown and all the great restaurants and bars. The place was extremely clean and came with so many necessary items including laundry detergent, shampoos, soaps, and even coffee! Also, the beds were extremely comfortable. We would definitely stay again if the opportunity arises, but would highly recommend you choose it for yourself!

UGA orientation and volleyball camp

We loved our stay. I’m a UGA alumni living in Florida, so I’m excited to find this gem to come back too! The house is beautiful and Leo perfectly clean. The proximity to downtown and campus made it very easy each day for us to head to campus and downtown. We look forward to coming back soon!

Wonderful house in the heart of Athens

This house is wonderful! The living space is spacious, open, comfortable, and inviting. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with a full set of dishes, etc. and a pantry with the right spices, tea, etc. Everything was super clean and easy to find.

Great weekend in Athens!

We had an amazing weekend visiting our son at UGA Law. This property is in a perfect location to downtown, the stadium and local spots. We had no issues getting an Uber/Lyft in this location and also enjoyed sitting on the porch in the mornings & evenings. Christi takes great care of her property and it is stocked with everything needed. We will definitely book again soon! GO DAWGS!

This house felt like home

It was spotless. The kitchen was well stocked with glassware, coffee, and sundry items. The beds were very comfortable, and the towels were soft and fluffy. There was plenty of room to sit for a short meeting or a cocktail. You might want to consider some hooks for hanging clothes in the upstairs smaller bedroom since the closet is locked.
