    The owners have opened their park-like property to guests, and were excellent hosts! Gorgeous setting, well-planned interior, and all the little things that matter. Easy drive into Athens, but definitely quiet and peaceful location. Thank you for hosting!

    Escape to Pond Creek was exactly what we were looking for on our annual Father/Son trip. Only 15 minutes to Athens to see the Georgia Bulldogs game and experience the town. A great country escape. The owners had the fire pit prepped for us. Fishing rods set up for our sons to use. Supplies to cook S'mores. It was perfect. Would definitely recommend it!

    My family of four had the most wonderful trip! Our girls (ages 3 and 5) were especially delighted by the toys, the indoor playhouse, and the marshmallows for s’mores. And we were all thrilled by the pool table, the walking trails, the hammock by the pond’s waterfall, and the spacious rooms. Our hosts even offered to light the firepit for us — great stay all around!

    Very large basement on a beautiful property. The only downside is sharing one bathroom. Very nice and attentive property owners.

    Great house just outside Athens. Quiet beautiful property that is an easy drive or inexpensive Uber ride into town. You may find it hard to leave with all there is to do at the house. We cant wait to stay there again.

    We scheduled this stay to correspond to UGA's graduation. It worked out perfectly. The host was easy to work with. We grilled out, played pool and enjoyed sitting by the pond. Though 6 miles out of town we were able to Uber to and from with no issues.

    Such an inviting place to stay! The location was a short drive from downtown Athens. We had everything we needed for a fun weekend surrounding our son's graduation from UGA.
