Loved our stay at this house and have to say the best feature is the backyard. Amazing patio, huge outdoor table, gorgeous fire pit, and the grilling options were made for a true chef. The house is stacked with everything you will need. Highly recommend.
Overall, a great experience. Trisha was very communicative and flexible before and during our stay. We were in town for a baseball tournament for my son with another family. There was enough space for us to comfortably hang out and the outdoor space was a game changer.
We stayed her in lieu of a hotel for a weeklong baseball tournament, and it was perfect for our needs. We had lots of space to relax and spread out as well cozy spaces to come together. The fact that the property is owner occupied leaves little room for cabinet and storage space, but this did not detract from our stay.
Great backyard
Nice host
Good music system in the house
Good amenities inside the house
The only negative I can think of is the parking is very steep so it best to keep the car outside.
Trisha’s place was an amazing stay for our holiday gathering! The house is set up very well to host a dinner for a group of people. Trisha was very communicative and made the process smooth. I would highly recommend staying here.
We had a nice time over the holidays-with plenty of room for kids ranging from 13-24 coming in/out. Our favorite activities during our stay: bon fire in the backyard, long walks through the beautiful neighborhood, pictures down by the lake, movies in the family room. Having a fully outfitted kitchen for Thanksgiving dinner and enough seating for 10 was a bonus!
Tricia’s home was lovely! We really enjoyed our stay. She was responsive but not intrusive. We would recommend to others and would absolutely stay there again. The projection TV was AWESOME!
The only small issue we found was that the outside refrigerator needed cleaning out.
With only having one baseball game a day we knew we needed a place where our boys could enjoy themselves. This Silver Lake Home was perfect! They loved the projector with the PS4 for some trivial pursuit. The 3 boys were able to sleep in a room together with the 3 singles. The kitchen was large and had every supply you could need. The large amount of seating for all to sit together for meals either inside or outside was great as well. The communication with the owner was fantastic and they left a very detailed binder and iPad videos with instructions. I loved taking morning runs in the beautiful Silver Lake Subdivision. It was our home away from home for the week!

I’m so glad it all worked out great! We would love to have you back anytime!
The owners were great to work with. I email Trisha several times about things like local food places, Marta Stations, etc and she was always quick to respond with great info, things above and beyond the rental of the house.
The house is stocked with utensil/pots/towels/games/etc. you can imagine! The neighborhood was beautiful and I felt safe and comfortable there.
We especially loved the open floor plan near the dining room, kitchen, and living room. It was great for our large party to be able to hang out and while eating and cooking. The outdoor space was just as advertised! Unfortunately it was a bit hot during our visit, but we did manage one night at the fire pit.
The property was perfect for our family of 6. Everything was clean, organized and easy. The backyard was great for my younger kids. They got a chance to play and explore. The bedrooms were all large so we were able to spread out. The kitchen and dining areas were perfect for a holiday celebration. Everything was well stocked - paper towels, bath towels, pots/pans, etc. Trisha was a great host. All communication was clear. She gave us a quick tour/tutorial on the house and made sure our stay was everything we needed it to be.
Location-wise, there are numerous restaurants and grocery stores nearby but in a quiet residential neighborhood. It was about 20 minutes to Midtown/Georgia Tech which worked well for our GT student.
We were 4 adults (2 grandparents/2 parents) and traveled with 2 kids, under 5. The sunroom/playroom was amazing on raining afternoons, lots of toys! The spotted carpet in this sunroom, is the only reason for the cleanliness w/4 stars. Due to weather and our schedule, we weren't able to utilize the beautiful backyard, hopefully next time! Plenty of safe parking, be aware, the driveway is steep! We did walk the quiet neighborhood, there is a really nice, lakeside path to a park and clubhouse/community center, (not sure of guest usage here?)... Additionally, there's a larger park and grocery stores, very close by. The house was well equipped and would easily host a larger group. We liked the ability to close off the bedrooms, for privacy, or quiet times when the littles slept. Quick access to downtown Alanta, aquarium, zoo, museums, ballgames. Note: the owners were wonderful and did stay on site, in a downstairs apartment. While we were a bit more conscious of our kiddos' noise levels, it didn't impede our stay in the least.. just something to be aware of. Trisha was very responsive and accommodating, so easy to work with!

Amazing home and host! Great place for a large group to stay.
I had a youth group of 10 students and 2 adults stay at Trish's house for a week. Trish very thoughtfully had already set up extra beds for us to use in the rooms and had plenty of towels and blankets to use. The house is great for kids with a strobe light, alexa who plays music, and an entertainment system on a white wall that cannot be beat. We loved having a dance party, watching tv shows and movies, and playstation being available. The yard and grill are huge and perfect for a cook out and place to run off energy! Trish was an excellent hostess who took care of everything we needed both ahead of time and while we were there and she was very easy to work with. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a great week, Trish!

Amazing home. Better than advertised. Perfect for a large group of 10!!!!!!!
Trisha was an amazing hostess, I can't sing her praises enough. She communicates effectively, has everything you need for your stay and truly wants you to enjoy her home. We had a group of 10 and we had plenty of space to sleep and enjoy the home!! The home is beautifully decorated and she truly cares about each aspect of the home.. she extended drawer space, cabinet space, dish use and everything were needed without complaint. We were even allowed to host a party with additional guests!!! There are not enough words for me to say about how wonderful our stay was!!!!

Was a perfect space for our group. Beautiful setting and wonderful hosts. Highly recommend!
I was in Atlanta to lead a group of people from MN on a Racial justice trip and we needed a home that could accommodate 8 of us plus be in a decent location to get to many spots. This home was perfect. We loved the open lay out as well as the grill/griddle outside (even though it was cold!).
Trish was an amazingly gracious host always willing to answer questions and make sure we were perfectly set up. If I do this trip again we will look forward to staying here!

Beautiful home
We rented this place to host our wedding. We intended to have our ceremony in the very beautiful backyard but the weather did not cooperate. We were able to have just as memorable ceremony inside with the open floor plan. The owners were very accommodating, allowing us to arrange furniture as needed. The kitchen was perfect for our caterer and for the meals we prepared for ourselves. The place was perfect for all the kids we had from age 3 to 14. There were plenty of toys to keep the younger ones entertained as well as video games and movie projector for the older ones. The rooms were very spacious and had we not already made honeymoon accommodations elsewhere, we would've stayed there. The kids room were perfect with a bunk bed in one room and 3 twins in the other. The other 2 rooms had queen beds each with their own large flat screens and Apple TV. We had access to the owners HBO Now account as well as Hulu. My only minor complaint would be to have Chromecast's hooked as well for visitors who may not have Apple products and want to cast their own audio / video. The owner was close by and was very responsive when I needed help with some minor things within the home. The driveway was a pretty steep which wasn't an issue for guests to walk up, but was more daunting for them to park. This made it hard to prevent too many guests from parking in the street. Even with my minor quips, I still give this place 5 stars and would rent this place again without hesitation. The place, indoors and outside is just as beautiful, if not more, as the pictures in the description show.

We sincerely loved having you at our home and were thrilled to be able to provide the backdrop for your wedding. I wish you had mentioned the Chromecast earlier, as there was one in the drawer with all of the game controllers for that exact reason!! Next time . . . :-)
About the host
Hosted by Trisha
Hi! I'm Trisha and if you had asked me if I would want to rent out my house 4 years ago, I would have thought you were crazy! But the truth is, I absolutely LOVE when others get to enjoy the space as much as we do. It all started serendipitously when I offered up our home to some friends who were between homes for a month. They asked if they could rent it out to pay us for letting them stay there. I said, "why not!" And that's how we started. I haven't regretted a single moment of it.
Why they chose this property
When we moved into our house, we decided to open up the space and create a magical backyard so that we could enjoy family and friends from the whole house (vs being crowded in the kitchen). When we first started entertaining, we were amazed by how well the house functioned. You can be cooking at the kitchen island, but still be a part of everything going on in the house - both inside and out. And for us, that was perfection! We started having guests ask to use the house for birthday parties, business retreats and dinners and other events. We joke that the house "parties like a rock star"! It's a 1972 understated ranch style house, so it's hard to believe how amazing it feels inside. But it does. It's warm, friendly, inviting, functional, and cool all at the same time. Although we are biased, we have had plenty of confirmation that what we have created is incredibly special, even among folks whose houses are newer, bigger and grander than our home. We welcome you to come and stay a while. Enjoy the space while you enjoy each other! You won't regret it!
What makes this property unique
The truly rare jewel of this home is the sense of indoor/outdoor living you get. It is unusual in Atlanta to find a property that flows the way this house does. The spaces all seamlessly meld into one another and it makes you feel like it's just one gigantic space - both inside the house and out. The year round sun room filled with windows is visible throughout most of the living / dining room areas as is the bay window at the front of the house. If you like light and nature, then this is a great house to enjoy.
