Sweet, quiet place away from the UGA hub

If you were looking for somewhere a bit quieter than the Athens hub, this is a perfect spot. It does take about 20 minutes to get to campus, but is a quiet serene and clean place to stay.

This cabin is as advertised! It was quiet, clean, and convenient. We had a rental car so transportation was not an issue, however we did check and Uber/Lyft would come pick us up. I recommend this property. Thanks owners for letting us use your space!

Wonderful Retreat

This cottage was so nice and away from all the hectic traffic of Athens. We woke up one morning to 3 deers grazing, a momma deer and her two babies. The amenities available met every need and it was great for a weekend getaway not to mention the fact that the property has quite a history as well!

UGA Graduation stay

This is a great cottage for a visit to UGA. It’s about 15-20 minutes to downtown Athens/campus but an easy straight shot down the Atl hwy. Cottage is cute, clean and had everything we needed for our 2 night stay! Will definitely stay here again!

This was our second stay. We love this cottage on the outskirts of Athens. The location is great, the cottage is so pretty and very well kept. It is clean, comfortable and inviting. It offers some outdoor space when you want to take a short walk. This place is a 10, for sure!!

70th birthday celebration

We visited Athens for the party, but my partner got a chance to visit his family, which he hasn't seem in over 40 years. The property owners thought of everything a person would need to be comfortable in their cottage. We would most definitely stay there again.

Quiet, Beautiful, Clean - caould not ask for more!

Very well kept property, beautiful landscape. The inside of the cottage was immaculate and had just about everything you need for a weekend getaway. Bed was very comfortable, great water pressure in shower, nice linens, towels, and decorated perfectly for a cottage. Very quiet at night, perfectly close to Athens and all the quaint cities and towns in the area. Great communication with host as well. Pictures are accurate as well. We would definately stay here again! Cheers.

When I posted a video of this VRBO cottage on my Facebook page, I declared it elegant and comfortable. It is just as impressive in person as it is in the photographs, and it was absolutely immaculate.This is an ideal destination for a couples' getaway, an author's retreat, or a grandmother heading to a concert in Atlanta--as I was!Basic toiletries, snacks, and COFFEE (my ONE essential in any lodging!) were provided. I also appreciated having the trash receptacle located on the front porch, not even noticeable until I looked for it--but SO handy when I was leaving.My only motivation in NOT raving about this beautiful place is I don't want it booked the next time I visit Athens. (It was a 15 minute drive to my son's home there, easily navigable!)
