The host were super and nice and very welcoming and were great with communication! House was so much more than my friends and I could have asked for! We had a great stay and would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area!
We loved everything about the property, and the owners were amazing!!!
Phenomenal experience!!! I’d definitely rent this one again for my family!!!❤️
We had an Amazing Time for my birthday! Stores and shopping weren’t that far away! We also went bowling at Fun Bowl In McDonough. The house accommodated myself my fiancé, three daughters their significant other’s , two grandchildren and my mom! Comfortably!! Thank you Mr and Mrs Bell for making this one of the best birthdays ever!!!!🥳
We brought in the New Year with Love
What can I say! The home is absolutely beautiful but Mr.Bell and family are absolutely amazing! I can not say enough about how accommodating and sweet they were. Mr. Bell took all the stress out of planning our stay! He went over and beyond. My God daughter and her family decided to come at the last moment and Mr. Bell not only put up a blow up bed for them he made a bed for my granddaughter. They were able to just come in an rest.
Each time I sent a message to Mr. Bell he responded in minutes!
Lastly, It was a rough week for me. I was dealing with death of a close friend. Mr. Bell and family took the time to send me the sweetest message and prayers. I will always stay here if the opportunity arises!!!
Do not pass this home up! Not only is the house a gem, so are the host!!
We made so many memories that will never be forgotten!
Best stay in McDonough!!!!
The house is amazing! Everything it says it has.....it does. A few things they might want to think of, closet space for the guests. It would have been nice to have use of the closets for the rooms. Use of the garage would have been nice. We needed more towels and washcloths, sheets for the air mattress, and blankets. There were no blankets. The back yard was great, the kids loved the play space. Very quiet and safe feeling neighborhood. Put the note about no shoes in the house in the listing and maybe the front door so it can be seen before the carpet is walked on with shoes.
Over all, great experience! If the owners allow us to I would rent from them again. I promise you won't be disappointed.
The turn around response from the owners were quick and friendly. Me and my family really enjoyed our stay, the home was very clean
Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2021
About the host
Hosted by Keith Bell
Hi, I’m Keith, and my wife Vanessa and I love creating spaces that feel peaceful, welcoming, and full of warmth. I’m originally from New Orleans, and Vanessa’s a Georgia native, so hospitality is part of who we are. We enjoy opening our home to others who appreciate comfort, quiet, and connection. Hosting allows us to share the same peace we experience here every day. Many guests tell us it truly feels like their home away from home, and that’s exactly how we want it to feel.
Why they chose this property
We were drawn to this neighborhood for its peace and privacy. It’s quiet, spacious, and feels tucked away while still being close enough to restaurants, shopping, and downtown Covington. We love that it’s a place where you can slow down, breathe, and still have access to everything you need. It’s the kind of community where mornings start calm and evenings end peacefully, something we really value.
What makes this property unique
The space. With more than 3,500 square feet of living area and sitting on nearly an acre of land, our home gives families, groups, and business travelers room to relax, reconnect, and truly unwind. The open layout makes gathering easy, and the private backyard offers a peaceful escape at the end of the day.
