Great little place to stay. Close to Athens and the action without being in the middle of the crazy. Parking and accessibility to the entrance door are not ideal, especially in rain, but the actual space is clean and comfortable. Easy access to lots of eateries and shopping. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would do it again. ##### Cynthia M.

This place is the perfect little getaway spot! We stayed here for our daughter's graduation from UGA, and had the best experience. Hannah was the perfect hostess! We were greeted when we arrived, and were made to feel right at home. Everything about this place was perfect. The decor, the location, the outdoor garden, breakfast on the patio...I would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay near Athens, but not in it. The location was the perfect distance to be away from the bustle of Athens, but close enough to get downtown quickly. If you're looking for the perfect place to stay, this is what you want! ##### Amy P. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas R. 7 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect option when visiting Athens! We can't say enough about how perfect the Secret Sunny Garden Getaway was for our visit to Athens for Homecoming and to see our daughter (and UGA football, of course)! Hannah is by far the most responsive and thoughtful host you will find here, keeping in constant yet unobtrusive contact and offering assistance to us. The rental itself is very comfortable and impeccably decorated, with a fun living area and spacious bedroom (and conformable bed). Location-wise, you are near some great restaurants in Watkinsville, and a quick 10 minute drive to downtown Athens - the perfect situation especially on busy weekends. Plus there are chickens in the back yard - I mean, what else could you want?! Overall, a great option for your Athens trip. Highly recommend! ##### Nicholas R.

This property was the perfect solution! It was out of the hustle and bustle of Athens, but close enough for us to Uber back and forth to the Stadium. It was absolutely adorable, cozy, quiet, and clean. We felt right at home! Communication was a breeze, and we even had cold beverages upon our arrival!! Hannah made sure to check on us frequently and made herself available. We are looking forward to staying again for another game day! Go Dawgs! ##### Kelsey P. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ---
