Great relaxing home

We came for a quiet girls' weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the home and the property. It is well located close to Watkinsville, Athens, and Crawford for groceries, restaurants, and things to do! The beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. The trails through the property were beautiful! We will definitely stay here again.

If you want privacy, plenty of room, woods to explore, a stream to sit at and watch your dogs have fun in, an old 1900's house with old charm down a nice old country road, this is the place for you. The barns were a nice spot to take a few pictures for the memories. Kitchen was well stocked and all supplies you may have forgotten, you will find here. Will re-book in the future. Thanks for a nice week getaway! The Hughstons

The Bar None was relaxing and fun!

We had nice family gathering at the Bar None Ranch, which is on a beautiful and very private property with its own nature walking trail. It’s just a short (about 20-minute) drive to downtown Athens. The spacious accommodations made us feel very much at home and it has a nice deck next to a shady outdoor area that’s perfect for a lawn party!

I cannot rave about the property enough! You feel as though you are in the middle of no where, though you are honestly not that far from the city (20 min drive). The decor and interior is homey and inviting. There is ample space, the kitchen was well stocked, and the amenities were on point. I would highly recommend staying here!

Great Stay

Stayed at the property for my daughter’s graduation. The house had plentiful common areas for a family gathering. Very clean, private, very pet friendly. We would stay at this property again. The property has three private bedrooms, one with King and one with Queen. The third bedroom is very versatile with stackable twins so it can be used with 4 twin beds, two twins or the beds can be pushed together. These accommodations were perfect for our stay. Easy drive to Athens and UGA campus. It was the perfect stay!

Cozy Farmhouse Getaway

The spacious and charming property is the perfect getaway for a weekend family trip. We brought our dogs and they loved exploring the acreage. There was plenty of space for our family of six to spread out. The owner has thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with all the basic amenities so you can easily stay in and cook instead of running into town. The best part is the location, as it's far enough from town that you can escape the hustle and bustle of the larger towns like Athens, but not so far that you can't drive back in for a meal or shopping. Thank you for having us at your property!

Country stay

Property was super cute, very clean, well stocked, very comfortable. We were at a ladies conference in Athens so we chose to get a house to all hang out together, this property worked well for this. The only thing we didn’t like was how far out in the country off of gravel roads it is. Now if you want a country setting this is definitely your property. We had a short stay so driving back and forth to Athens was not my favorite. But I would recommend the property and I would stay again if we were in the area.

Why they chose this property

This property was my home for several years while I was working in Athens, Ga. I've had it leased full time since then, but have recently decided to convert it to a vacation rental. I have so many memories of fun, love and laughter at this very special place and hope that you will also.

What makes this property unique

This is a one of a kind place, a bit funky and surrounded by beauty. Make sure to look up at the incredible night sky while you are there.
