Great stay once again!
We love this property and neighborhood. This was our second week long stay two summers in a row. The owners are so sweet and have thought of everything you need, down to the fur babies! Highly recommend renting and feeling like an Athens local!

Cute home and beautiful view
Comfortable and nicely decorated home with a spectacular view of farmland and mountains. It was small but comfortable for the two of us and our small dog. It was a newly built duplex home with the owner living next door. Giovanella was very nice, welcoming us with a bottle of wine. She messaged us with the intricacies of the home and suggestions where to go in the area. This was very helpful. We were only there two nights so the Caverns are a must!

Extended Weekend Stay
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Cheerful Eclectic Bungalow. It was centrally located and convenient to the places we needed and wanted to go while in Athens. Plenty of room, well furnished and the yard was just what we needed for our dogs. We would definitely stay here on another visit to Athens.

Wonderful bungalow in great location!
We absolutely loved our stay in the Cobbham cottage. It is extremely convenient to downtown Athens and in a wonderful, walkable, quaint neighborhood. The check in and check out instructions were perfect with great communication from the owner. The decor is beautiful and comfortable, and the house is very well-stocked with everything you need. They supplied, water, coffee, shampoo/conditioner, condiments and spices, etc... really great attention to detail. The beds and linens are exceptional for a great night sleep. House is also dog-friendly and owners provided a crate and dog bed, plus the backyard is fenced in. All in all, this was a perfect property for our needs and I highly recommend it for your stay in Athens.

Perfect
This older property was perfect for my wife and I. Most appreciated was the cleanliness of the house. This is not always the case in older houses but this one was spotless. It was a little too far to walk to things but an easy drive to a lot.

We had a terrific time! House was warm and welcoming. Even had Holiday decorations for us! Checking in was seamless. Host/Hostess were very nice and made us feel at home. We walked to Normaltown and downtown Athens with no problem. It was close to everything we needed. The dog really enjoyed it, as well. They thought of her too. I would definitely stay here again!

John and I have called Athens home since 1991. We have owned this house for over 25 years and we love it and the neighborhood. Walking to Normaltown for coffee or lunch or up Prince Ave for groceries at Daily Co-op is our favorite family activity on the weekends.

Why they chose this property

Being close to everything is the best part of this neighborhood. Head in any direction from our house with your dog and you will experience a pleasant walk and see beautiful and historical homes all around you.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy your stay!
