Great little place!

Great little place to stay. Close to Athens and the action without being in the middle of the crazy. Parking and accessibility to the entrance door are not ideal, especially in rain, but the actual space is clean and comfortable. Easy access to lots of eateries and shopping. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would do it again.

A little gem close to Athens

Great spot for a visit to Athens - perfect for a home game weekend! Decor is adorable. So clean and nice; everything you need for a comfortable and cozy stay. Nice outdoor space to relax too, two deer greeted us in the morning! Great hosts who are happy to help with anything you need. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Athens.

Perfect little getaway!

This place is the perfect little getaway spot! We stayed here for our daughter's graduation from UGA, and had the best experience. Hannah was the perfect hostess! We were greeted when we arrived, and were made to feel right at home. Everything about this place was perfect. The decor, the location, the outdoor garden, breakfast on the patio...I would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay near Athens, but not in it. The location was the perfect distance to be away from the bustle of Athens, but close enough to get downtown quickly. If you're looking for the perfect place to stay, this is what you want!

Visiting My Family

The Host and VRBO was fabulous. I never had to ask for anything all. Hannah would email each evening to make sure I had everything I needed! Very friendly family. Such an adorably decorated, clean place! They respected my privacy and would definitely stay here again. My stay was 4 nights and I would refer this place to any single person or a couple!

The perfect option when visiting Athens!

We can't say enough about how perfect the Secret Sunny Garden Getaway was for our visit to Athens for Homecoming and to see our daughter (and UGA football, of course)! Hannah is by far the most responsive and thoughtful host you will find here, keeping in constant yet unobtrusive contact and offering assistance to us. The rental itself is very comfortable and impeccably decorated, with a fun living area and spacious bedroom (and conformable bed). Location-wise, you are near some great restaurants in Watkinsville, and a quick 10 minute drive to downtown Athens - the perfect situation especially on busy weekends. Plus there are chickens in the back yard - I mean, what else could you want?! Overall, a great option for your Athens trip. Highly recommend!

Adorable + Cozy Stay

My husband and I needed somewhere to stay for a Game Day in Athens. This property was the perfect solution! It was out of the hustle and bustle of Athens, but close enough for us to Uber back and forth to the Stadium. It was absolutely adorable, cozy, quiet, and clean. We felt right at home! Communication was a breeze, and we even had cold beverages upon our arrival!! Hannah made sure to check on us frequently and made herself available. We are looking forward to staying again for another game day! Go Dawgs!
