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.
This home was perfect for our family with lots of room to sit outside and have fun together. Highly recommend it!
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.
We needed a place to visit with our son while he was in town and our home was being renovated. It was a very clean, cozy and comfortable space. Conveniently located between our home and the town of Athens. We initially were surprised it was a basement apartment since I filtered only houses but I did see where it is mentioned further down the listing description. But it had almost everything we needed to have a great week. I could see this space being perfect for a bigger family gathering. Very nice property and the hosts were very friendly and helpful.
This place is a nice getaway from the craziness of downtown Athens at a fraction of the cost. You can be in the middle of it all in a matter of minutes. Room to spread out with comfy couches and a great outdoor space we didn't have time to enjoy. Will be staying here again if it's available.
Stayed here for 3 days during UGA Parents Weekend. Commute was easy. Too bad we didn’t have more free time to enjoy the amenities! Go Dawgs!
Spacious area. Owners left bottled water, snacks, and even everything needed to make s’mores.
Secluded, comfortable and fun!
Hosts were very accommodating! What a lovely accommodation. We’d definitely recommend and stay again!
Our boys 1 and 3 really enjoyed the space. We loved the back patio and pond. I was concerned there would be a lot of bugs but they were not bad at all. So thankful for time with family and a place to enjoy with them
We were in town for my daughters graduation from UGA. Only 10-15 minutes from downtown Athens. Property my was peaceful and quiet. Nice deck and fire pit by a pond with a small waterfall. Inside was perfect with lots of games. Hosts were great. Perfect communication before and during our stay. Highly recommend!!!
So simple and easy. Hosts are wonderful! Pictures online do not show how beautiful this place really is! We will be back!
Amazing views and very relaxing!
