Roomy Outdoor Getaway close to Pipestem Park and Winterplace Resort.
Athens is a small, safe, friendly community. The house is within walking distance of restaurants, and convenient stores. There is a very nice town park which has been renovated with all kinds of new equipment for kids and work out equipment for adults. There are college level sporting events within walking distance at Concord University. There are four waterfalls within an hours drive and water fun to be had by all, at three different nearby lakes. We always recommend Pipestem State Park because it has so many activities like: horseback riding, zip lining, splash park, lake with paddle boats, canoes, kayaks, and a beach area with inflatables in the water. It also has three golf courses, (a regular 18 hole, a 3 par 9 hole course and putt putt), along with loads of hiking, biking trails, and even ax throwing.

The house was just as advertised. It was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay. Being from (hot) Texas, we loved being able to rock on the front porch both morning and evenings.
Loved the older house. Enjoyed the neighborhood, and the host were always in contact. Only thing missing was tv access, or I just didn't understand how to turn on. Maybe get a Roku and guest can use own Netflix or Disney account. All things needed for kitchen/grill and restrooms were available and clean.

It was fine for our stay. The ac units should have been turned on before arrival, we arrived late in the evening and it was very warm the first night.
We decided to take the kids skiing one more weekend before they went back to college. It was the perfect place to stay! Host was super communicative and the house was just as advertised! Powder fell the day we arrived- perfect weekend!
Great location perfect for what I was needing. Went to spend time with my daughter who attends Concord university. Walking distance to the college and dorms. House has everything you needed to make a nice meal, beds were very comfortable, ample parking Only thing I would add to make it better would be basic cable. The hosts were very nice and communication was above 5 stars! Will definitely visit again!
Excellent trip! There was a snow storm while we arrived and into the first day. Steve and Tina made sure the sidewalk and parking spaces were shoveled and there were chocolate chip cookies waiting in the kitchen.
The host left cookies and snacks which was very thoughtful. Not a bad place at all. There are some pretty sketchy apartments directly across the street but we had no problems. They were letting off fireworks but quiet by 11pm. The bed was a bit rough but I am pretty picky about that. Just way too hard for my liking. I did find it very unusual that the lost showed up unannounced shortly after we arrived. That was a first for us. There's also no TV, just older DVDs to watch.
Very comfy farm style house. Upstairs has two adjoined bedrooms(perfect for a pair of children) with another separate bedroom and a full bath. Another bedroom and full bath on the first floor. Spacious and comfortable with a nice yard in a quiet neighborhood. Perfect option for outdoor activities at Pipestem Park and surrounding areas. Will definitely stay again when I find myself in the area.
I booked this rental for our first time skiing in Winterplance. When we arrived on Friday, it was snowing and cold, the owner was so nice that they shoveled snow for parking (3 parking lots). The house is clean and big enough for 3 kids to play. Each room has its own heater to keep you warm overnight. The best part is the hot water, it never runs out and keeps hot for showering. I will come back next year.
This property is very convenient to Concord Uni. Street is a little busy at night, but that's out of the host's control.
The only "ding" is related to the accuracy of the listing as there are only two window unit air conditioners: one in the living room and one in a bedroom. So while the property is listed as air conditioned, it's not the whole house. All bedrooms have ceiling fans and the three without the air conditioner have box fans to put into the windows. Host was super responsive when we reported 2 box fans not working.
However, for our stay, we only had one very warm night where the 2nd floor bedrooms were quite warm. But, for the rest of the stay, the evenings were cool.
The kitchen is over the top supplied. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.
