About this property

Welcome to the Winn Cottage! The beautifully renovated 1930s home is a 3 bedroom/2 bath located in the heart of the Five Points neighborhood of Athens, Georgia. From the cottage, both UGA and all of Five Points' shopping and eateries are only a short walk away (e.g., Sanford Stadium = 1.6 miles; Foley Baseball Field = 1 mile; and Five Points = .5 miles). Grab breakfast and coffee at the Independent Bakery or Jittery Joes, dine at Hugh Acheson's flagship restaurant, Five & Ten, or pick up a book at one of the local bookstores, Avid Books. Within a 5-minute walk, you're there.

The design and renovation were completed in 2023 by Portico & Hearth, a local historically-minded design firm. Every space in the home was brought up to today's luxurious standards while maximizing the home's historical warmth and charm. With the marble and handcrafted tiles in the bathrooms, a 36" AGA dual fuel range and built-in refrigerator in the kitchen, and various indoor and outdoor areas for relaxing and entertaining, Winn Cottage will be your oasis while staying in Athens, GA. Guests will be welcomed with snacks and drinks, and have access to AVEDA hair and body care products in addition to quality towels and linens during their stay.

Please note that the Winn Cottage has a maximum occupancy of 5 adults. If you need more space on property, the separately listed Winn Carriage House (2 bedrooms/1 bath) is also available for short-term rental in conjunction with the Cottage. For additional information, please see VRBO property #3555217.

If you are interested in a longer-term stay, please contact the host directly to discuss duration, etc. prior to booking.

The property manager is local and is available to assist guests with anything they might need, from restaurant suggestions to fun close-by activities. If you need access to kid-friendly items such as a high chair or baby gate, please let the property manager know. We'd be happy to facilitate providing those items. Also, a cleaning service can be arranged to come and clean the property during your stay for an additional cleaning fee.

Great Home in a Great Location

The host was super hospitable and accommodating. We had a seamless check-in, and an easy check out and had a great time in between. The house is impeccably decorated and roomy. Communication with the house was great and we would recommend to stay there anytime.

Charming family stay in Athens

Pleasantly surprised! The Winn Cottage is where Southern and Anthropologie decorating styles married, and had a baby. I was excited for the stay based upon the photos, but you never quite know exactly what you’re walking into when you rent a VRBO. Are the photos recent, or taken at such a wide angle so that they don’t capture any of the flaws? No, this place is legit. We were greeted with lovely antiques and artwork. So many pillows, comfortable bedding. I was even happy doing laundry in this house. There was one artist’s portraits that seemed to be featured in several rooms, but I couldn’t make out the signature. I don’t know why, but this house just made me feel special and a bit pampered…even in the midst of our super busy stay in Athens. Good location, close to UGA, and a great jumping off point for our adventures in the area. Loved the home and will look to book again when we return.

Wish we had stayed longer

My husband and I are looking to retire in Athens, GA, and we wanted to check out the Five Points neighborhood. Staying at the Winn Cottage gave us a good sense as to what it would be like to live here. The house and neighborhood are quiet, but if you walk 5-10 minutes down the street, you’re in a mini-main street area. We walked and had dinner at 5&10 one of the nights. The house is one of those where you want to bring your toothbrush and clothes and never leave. Both the house and neighborhood are absolute jewels. We definitely want to come back!
