About the host
Hosted by Ann Little
Hi, I'm Becky. My husband David and I have cherished over 20 years in this home at Water's Edge, creating incredible memories with our blended family. With our children now grown and out on their own, we want to share the magic of this place. It is too big for just us and we hope it continues to be a haven for families and friends to bond and for people to celebrate their milestones. We continue to live tucked away on the property in a separate apartment with our dog Bodie. We are minutes away if you need anything, but you won't even notice we are here if you don't.
Why they chose this property
This area offers a blend of small-town charm and urban conveniences. Watkinsville is known for its rich history and arts scene. It has cozy shops, local galleries, and scenic parks. East Side Athens provides a vibrant atmosphere with easy access to the University of Georgia and downtown Athens, diverse dining options, and shopping centers. This area has beautiful natural surroundings, including the State Botanical Garden of Georgia and various outdoor recreational activities. It is an ideal place for both relaxation and adventure!
What makes this property unique
From the vibrant interior to the outdoor activities of the exterior, this home is so uniquely fun for all the senses. Active or reserved, introvert or extrovert, all will be able to find something of interest here. There are so many amazing large and small group gathering areas, but also enough bedrooms and bathrooms for the privacy you want when ready to recharge from the masses.
