This beautiful arts and crafts home’s indoor and outdoor spaces are lovely with flowers blooming everywhere right now. The screened porch, fenced yard and friendly neighborhood were features we really appreciated about this pet friendly home. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking at home and eating out was a nice walk to 5points restaurants. Communication with the host Vicki was easy and helpful. Highly recommend. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely fantastic stay for a game day weekend. The house was clean, check in was seamless, communication was fantastic, and it looked just as it did in the online photos. Five star experience all around. Vicki (owner) couldn't have been more helpful or friendly.

Very pretty home close to everything. This is a family, rather than a corporate, managed property, so it’s much less sterile and the owners are super friendly. The home is clean and well appointed. It’s on a quiet street with zero road noise. The kitchen has a nice array of appliances/dishes/cooking implements, etc. The beds are comfortable and they have good linens. Plenty of towels. It has a fully fenced back yard for privacy and an enclosed portch. Excellent place - would stay at again!

Gorgeous

Even though we were in Athens on business, staying in this beautiful home felt like we were on vacation. It is one of the most comfortable homes we’ve had the pleasure of staying. The location is superb, the hosts are very kind and the yard is heaven for a dog. If it was possible we would have given more than 5 stars

This is our second time staying at this wonderful property! This home is walkable to great restaurants and the stadium for gameday. Neighborhood is quiet and the screened porch on this house makes it extra enjoyable to listen to the birds read a book. Vicki is a wonderful host! You won’t go wrong choosing to stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Joiner

Host profile image
We are a long-time Athens family. My husband was born here and I have lived here for over 40 years. We've raised our four children here and are very active in our community. We're active travelers and appreciate the comforts of home when staying in other cities. We strive to bring that same feeling to our home in Five Points. While not on-site, we can be available for any questions during your stay. We'd love to recommend some of our favorite places in Athens for dining, grocery shopping, live music, etc!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of our love of the area and all that it has to offer in such close proximity to a desirable and quiet neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

With a fenced-in yard, this home offers the added benefit of bringing your well-behaved dog along with you on your trip. Pre-approval and pet deposit required. Excessive barking is unfortunately not conducive to the neighborhood.
