This house is in the perfect location, close to campus with several trails walking distance from the house. The kitchen was better stocked than we even anticipated, leading us to cook at home more than we anticipated. Would highly recommend this VRBO.

Excellent Stay

We were in town for a wedding and this property was very close to downtown and all the great restaurants and bars. The place was extremely clean and came with so many necessary items including laundry detergent, shampoos, soaps, and even coffee! Also, the beds were extremely comfortable. We would definitely stay again if the opportunity arises, but would highly recommend you choose it for yourself!

We loved our stay. I’m a UGA alumni living in Florida, so I’m excited to find this gem to come back too! The house is beautiful and Leo perfectly clean. The proximity to downtown and campus made it very easy each day for us to head to campus and downtown. We look forward to coming back soon!

We had a wonderful stay at Classic City cottage. Christi was a fabulous host and very responsive. The snack basket was a nice touch to welcome us. Love it! The house was beautifully decorated and very well stocked. House was very clean and beds were comfortable. Location is very close to restaurants and bars downtown. Best house with best host! Highly recommend!
