What a wonderful Gem!

This is our second time staying at this wonderful property! This home is walkable to great restaurants and the stadium for gameday. Neighborhood is quiet and the screened porch on this house makes it extra enjoyable to listen to the birds read a book. Vicki is a wonderful host! You won’t go wrong choosing to stay here. Wonderful stay!

Gorgeous

Even though we were in Athens on business, staying in this beautiful home felt like we were on vacation. It is one of the most comfortable homes we’ve had the pleasure of staying. The location is superb, the hosts are very kind and the yard is heaven for a dog. If it was possible we would have given more than 5 stars

Charming home in the perfect Athens location.

We had the pleasure of staying in this 5 points home during a construction project at our house. This home is very charming and was a lovely respite for our family. Every amenity we needed we found there and the screened in porch and front porch were our favorites! It is thoughtfully and well restored. You will not be disappointed in your stay here. The hosts were very accessible and responsive. We loved our 5 points in-town "vacation"!

Excellent in every way!

This house is absolutely beautiful and immaculately maintained. The rooms are all very spacious with high ceilings. And the outdoor spaces are practically as clean as the inside. We loved getting to bring our dog for the weekend to celebrate our UGA daughter’s birthday. But you would never know another dog had ever been there. Vicki was very attentive and kind. Great location, too!

167 Highland Terrace

This is a must rent property! The home is absolutely fabulous. The owner (Ms. Vicki) was so very nice and made sure our stay was the best. The location is with minutes of everything. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. Not sure when we will return to Athens, GA but 167 Highland Terrace will be our first choice of place to stay.

Sweet In-Town Retreat

Everything about this house is wonderful. The location, the yard, the porches - all of it. My husband and I live in Atlanta and wanted something that felt like home while we worked in Athens for the weekend. This was it! We slept well, brought our dogs, had a couple of friends join us, and it really made the things extra special having somewhere like this to stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us - I would come back!

Only great things to say!

The home and the setting are beautiful and serene. Spotless, perfectly maintained and updated home with great areas to sit and visit and comfy beds. The outdoor porch set amongst beautiful trees was our favourite. The owner was so friendly and communicative. Would highly recommend .

Best Place in Athens

We were there for my granddaughter's graduation from Law School and had a wonderful time - house is amazing - has everything you could ever need - felt like we were at home. Neighborhood is so convenient and nice - good place to walk. Owners were great - can not say enough good things about our experience there - we made lots of good memories.

Graduation weekend

My family and I stayed here for our daughters graduation weekend. Vicki and Hank were so accommodating. They wanted to make sure our stay was comfortable. They’re house was perfect. It’s a quick walk into 5 points and that screened in porch is to die for. It was fully equipped with whatever you would want. This was by far the best Vrbo experience we have ever had.

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Joiner

We are a long-time Athens family. My husband was born here and I have lived here for over 40 years. We've raised our four children here and are very active in our community. We're active travelers and appreciate the comforts of home when staying in other cities. We strive to bring that same feeling to our home in Five Points. While not on-site, we can be available for any questions during your stay. We'd love to recommend some of our favorite places in Athens for dining, grocery shopping, live music, etc!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of our love of the area and all that it has to offer in such close proximity to a desirable and quiet neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

With a fenced-in yard, this home offers the added benefit of bringing your well-behaved dog along with you on your trip. Pre-approval and pet deposit required. Excessive barking is unfortunately not conducive to the neighborhood.
