Amazing quiet place

We had an amazing time with our kiddos and puppy. Our kids got to fish and run around the property and just be care free. It was quiet and so much fun. If you want to just get away from the city life this place is awesome and the host is so attentive.

Perfect!

Evrything was perfect at Selah.Place. kitchen is well stocked for cooking, beds are comfortable, the house was clean and cute! We loved the peaceful feeling of the water and trees. We managed to be in the right cabin to have the local cat come visit us daily which we loved. Our kids had fun coing some catch and release fishing and watching the turtles. Would definitely recommend staying here!. The location is right off a paved road and close enough to town.

Wonderful & Serene Stay

We loved our stay at Saleh's place! The villa was even nicer than expected, everything was clean, new, thoughtfully decorated and equipped with everything we could have needed! The grounds are very nice, there was a swing by lake to enjoy the view, there are several villas and casitas in proximity which made us feel safe and it's very well lit throughout the evening! The rooms are spacious, the beds are super comfortable and there is plenty of storage as well. The ground floor has the living room, the kitchen, a full bathroom and one of the bedrooms. Going up the stairs from the ground floor you reach the top level, to the left there is a bathroom which there is no door to, straight ahead there is a very spacious closet and to the right is the bedroom and a balcony off of the bedroom. We didn't realize there was no door to the bathroom or the bedroom, but it wasn't an issue for our group. The balconies are spacious and so lovely to spend time in. The A/C units were super helpful, the laundry machines as well and we used the electric kettle, keurig and toaster for breakfast each day. The house is 15 min from pretty much everything in Athens. We ventured into town, went to a wedding at a winery and spent time at Lake Athens. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely look to come back here if we're ever in the area.

Perfect Get Away Location

My friend and I wanted to come explore Athens and the surrounding country, and we are so glad we did! This rental was close to everything that we wanted to see (@ a 10-minute drive to town). We enjoyed the local wineries, restaurants, and shopping. The house was clean and comfortable, and the beds were cozy.

Mini Vacay!

This is a great spot for a quick, quiet reprieve from the hustle and bustle of city life. These units are spacious, stocked with basic necessities, and just 5 minutes from town; if you needed anything. The hosts communicate throughly prior to checkin and after check out. Being within a couple of hours from home, we would absolutely stay again!

Tranquil Getaway

My niece was getting married at Margot Hill about 6 mins away so we stayed here overnight (we live in Dallas). Host was super responsive to all communication. House was super cute and had everything you could ask for. Including a Keurig machine (which they should add to their description!). The beds were super comfy to the point my spouse was looking at the brand so he could buy for our ranch house. Exceeded our expectations. Plenty of room for 4+ people. Loved the view of the pond. Would highly recommend.

Almost perfect

Me and my husband stayed here for our anniversary, I instantly loved the place. It offered pretty much everything we needed for our stay, the only complain I have would be that for a place that has strict cleaning rules, some kitchen utensils were dirty. There was spoons and forks that still looked unwashed, the blender had some strawberry residue left inside like it was also not washed, I had to double wash mostly everything I was using but besides that problem everything else was great you really get a sense of feeling you’re away from everything with the beautiful outside scene.
