Peaceful Southern Charm (2 auto limit)

KaylaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The good: The space was exactly as described — clean, stylish, and in a great location. The check-in process was smooth, and communication with the host was prompt and friendly. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like extra towels, coffee, and a sweet treat for when we entered. The bed was super comfortable, and overall, it felt like a home away from home. The not-so-good: Unfortunately, there were a couple of major issues that made the stay less than ideal. First, The Beds! They were super comfortable but you couldn’t get out of them. They had memory foam and you literally sunk into the bed which was really uncomfortable waking up or getting out of the bed. Secondly, The water inside the bathroom (pressure) and (temperature) there was something that just wasn’t right. The board games were missing things( the core things). Lastly, parking (abit) of a squeeze and tight for 2 average Vehicles to be parked on location. I hope you find this review helpful!

Lakeside Retreat Near Athens, GA

TaraRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Stayed for two nights to visit with our daughters, one goes to UGA. Yes it was a drive to the campus but the setting and accommodations made it worthwhile! One slept on the pullout couch and reported it was comfortable which is not always the norm. Thank you Debbie and Steve!

Dogwood Cottage - A Relaxing Retreat in the Woods

CheriRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My husband and I enjoyed our stay there. It felt very private and secluded. I had a question not long after we arrived, and Jeneane reached out to me immediately after receiving it. We would definitely go back to Jeneane's cottage.

River Bottom Bungalow

StevenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This is a great place to stay, Michael is a great host, very responsive & easy to communicate with. Being able to get on the kayaks he provided & going up the river was very relaxing. The shower was big enough for two & the indoor sauna was a wonderful way to relax after the kayaks. If we ever come back to Athens, we're definitely going to book Michael's place !!

Charming 1BR Intown (Normaltown) Guest Cottage

SusanRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This is the 2nd time we've stayed at the cottage in Normaltown and we hope to go back again in the future. It's the perfect spot for privacy yet close to the city where there's so much to do. One minute you can see a great show but in the morning you can sit and drink coffee and sit on the porch and rock in the rocking chairs out front. Love it so much and would highly recommend!

Palmetto Hideaway

TashaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Susan is a wonderful host. Her airbnb was very nice and in a great location. The early check in and late check out was a nice amenity that not many people provide. She had fresh flowers, muffins, and other available snacks and drinks which was fantastic after being on the road all day. It was a quick easy drive to campus. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Athens

Unique private cottage in charming downtown

GenevieveRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Christine accommodated us on short notice and nothing was overlooked. She was communicative and welcoming. The house is so well decorated and has a feeling of being a home away from home. It’s clean, comfortable and quaint. The design is the highest rating I could give for a tiny house. We would definitely come back! Highly recommend.
