Secluded Serenity

We stayed at this lovely home for a family wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. The location was ideal, close to family, and it was wonderful to be able to spend time together in such a beautiful home. A special treat was spotting deer while enjoying our morning coffee. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous visit to Athens!

We visited Athens the weekend of Easter to spend the holiday with my college freshman. The kitchen had everything we needed to create special meals during our stay. The house was clean and inviting. Our little ones loved the playground in the back and we all enjoyed the outdoor space. We look forward to coming back!

Thanksgiving Memories!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. This house was perfect for our Thanksgiving stay in Athens, GA. Very spacious and the open concept kitchen and family room were perfect! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cookware and utensils. We felt right at home.

Location is excellent if you're looking to be near downtown Athens. House is well appointed and lovely inside. The master bath was amazing! My only drawback was the cleanliness of the back porch and backyard. It was unusable due to dirt, bugs, grime, etc. The exterior of the house could use a pressure wash and a refresh. We would have like to have enjoyed the firepit and backyard furniture but it was too dirty.

Wonderful stay in Athens!

Communication was spot on. Emails, texts, very easy and quick to respond. The house was gorgeous in a peaceful, upscale neighborhood. We were able to fit all of our family and friends comfortably. Beds were plush. Towels were plentiful. Perfect for our daughter’s family weekend and a Dawgs win!
