Everything was very good. It was lovely and peaceful. About the price. It says the house is $160 a night. That is misleading. The host fee was almost as much as the 3 nights accommodation. That was my fault. I should have been more careful.
The house has great potential: large, good location, on the water, nice layout, big backyardโฆ but it feels unloved and neglected. We watched baseball in the evenings and appreciated the satellite tv. The linens were fine. The kitchen has lots of pots and pans but lacked sufficient dishes, cups, glasses, and cutlery for serving. For the price, it needs some investment from the owners. For example, the paint is peeling on the ceiling of the second bath and the shower faucet diverts half the water pressure to the tub faucet. Itโs not at the typical standard weโre used to with vacation rentals.
We had an event in Athens, and needed to bring the pups. The house was great! Exactly what we needed space wise and it was right on the water which was a bonus. I wish there was directions on how to use the TVs/ Direct TV/ Cable. We had planned ahead and brought our own fire stick to stream from. I probably could have reached out to the Property Manager to ask about cable, but it didnโt affect our stay. I also wish the primary bedroom had a king bed. It would be great for a big family or even a couple of families to stay. The back yard/ water views were the best part.
We were thrilled to have our on little piece of paradise. It was so quiet and peaceful. My kids spent most of our days on the boat Dock fishing and nights playing family games. It was perfect and just what we needed
We fished Athens lake for a week. Wonderful location on the water and very short trip to run into town.
Enjoyed the spacious large gathering rooms, bedrooms, deck and backyard. Made it very easy for everyone to enjoy group and private conversations. Worked very well for our weekend.
It was a great stay to celebrate the new year! The only down fall was that we didnโt know the drive way was slanted as much as it was. We could get our boat parked in the drive way, so we had to park it on the street. Other than that, it was great!
It was perfect! Loved the back yard!! Everyone feel in love w this property.
House was beautiful and cleanโฆ we really enjoyed our stay
The house has a good set up for a family that does not want to cook. The kitchen is poorly equipped and disorganized. The dock is overgrown with lily pads so we were afraid to tie up our boat. The house needs a little TLC.
Only thing was we saw a lot of insects inside.
Totally special as always. 3rd time staying here and wont be our last. Property AND property manager are awesome.
