This is a sweet place to stay out of the hustle and bustle of Athens during a busy weekend. The drive gets to be a little long if you’re going back and forth to campus a lot.

Sweet, quiet place away from the UGA hub

If you were looking for somewhere a bit quieter than the Athens hub, this is a perfect spot. It does take about 20 minutes to get to campus, but is a quiet serene and clean place to stay.

Such a relief from the tired hotel rooms in Athens. This was an easy drive into town for our visit. We loved the adorable modern farmhouse look. Location and parking were well marked, and the path was nicely lit. Owner has thoughtfully appointed the house with basic needs and extras. Thank you!

70th birthday celebration

We visited Athens for the party, but my partner got a chance to visit his family, which he hasn't seem in over 40 years. The property owners thought of everything a person would need to be comfortable in their cottage. We would most definitely stay there again.

Comfortable serenity

This property was very comfortable for the two of us and it was very quiet and peaceful. You can tell the owners care about the place and the people that stay here, as everything was clean and there were multiple amenities provided that most rental properties do not offer. Check in / out was simple and quick and the owner responds very quickly. It was also very neat seeing all the deer on the property.

parents weekend at Georgia

Surprisingly, delightful, comfortable accommodations, peaceful and clean with excellent amenities. Easy drive to UGA during a Football weekend! Loved having a quiet place to go back to and relax after socializing and celebrating! The only problem we had was very limited hot water on one of the two days in the afternoon around 3:00 to shower prior to going out. The following morning, the hot water in the shower was fine.

When I posted a video of this VRBO cottage on my Facebook page, I declared it elegant and comfortable. It is just as impressive in person as it is in the photographs, and it was absolutely immaculate.This is an ideal destination for a couples' getaway, an author's retreat, or a grandmother heading to a concert in Atlanta--as I was!Basic toiletries, snacks, and COFFEE (my ONE essential in any lodging!) were provided. I also appreciated having the trash receptacle located on the front porch, not even noticeable until I looked for it--but SO handy when I was leaving.My only motivation in NOT raving about this beautiful place is I don't want it booked the next time I visit Athens. (It was a 15 minute drive to my son's home there, easily navigable!)

Quiet, Beautiful, Clean - caould not ask for more!

Very well kept property, beautiful landscape. The inside of the cottage was immaculate and had just about everything you need for a weekend getaway. Bed was very comfortable, great water pressure in shower, nice linens, towels, and decorated perfectly for a cottage. Very quiet at night, perfectly close to Athens and all the quaint cities and towns in the area. Great communication with host as well. Pictures are accurate as well. We would definately stay here again! Cheers.
