Conference/vacation

Had a lovely stay. Super easy location to get to the conference center (15 min drive) and a delightful refuge in the evening. We would stay again! The house is a little more overgrown in the winter than the summer picture suggests, but that was minor.

Cute Bungalow for a Week

For my first Vrbo experience, this was a great one! This place was perfect for our needs. It was in a great area and quiet, as I had to work offsite for most of the week while my son attended camp. The house was charming and well equipped for our needs. Love the gardens! Host was very responsive to any of our needs. Will definitely stay there again.

Decatur, GA

We enjoyed our stay at this delightful and cozy home in a beautiful neighborhood in Decatur near Atlanta. The sights in Atlanta. were easy to get to from this location and we had no problem driving to the zoo, downtown and aquarium from the house. The screened-in porch off the kitchen was a favorite spot and we spent most of our time there while at the house.

Great stay, great location, excellent support from owner.

The location and house were perfect and exactly as described. The garden area was a blessing for early morning relax time. The owner was extremely supportive and helpful. We loved the location within a quiet friendly community and in close proximity to a few excellent smaller towns with a variety of restaurants.

Wedding trip to Atlanta

The property in Decatur was just what we needed for our trip to Atlanta. The location was centrally positioned for travel to our various locations we had to visit for all wedding party venues. It was a pleasant and comfortable vrbo bungalow. My husband and I were impressed with the size of the property which was additionally enjoyed with my sister and her husband. It felt like home in the house as well as the surrounding neighborhood. A totally enjoyable stay that is recommended to everyone.

Great getaway

We really enjoyed this house for a long weekend visiting our son at Emory. Wonderful to sit and have morning coffee or an evening cocktail on the porch! A wonderful bonus was proximity to Decatur/Oakhurst and being able to walk to coffee shop. Hosts are extremely responsive and great to work with!

Birthday for friend

Beautiful and peaceful sport in Decatur neighborhood. Easy to get around. Good parking. Well appointed. Kitchen had essentials (salt, proper, coffee, etc). Loved the screened porch. Very comfortable. Big soft towels. Lots of foliage for a private experience. Lovely.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property as the next step in building our dream home. The huge side lot is promising us the ability to have a nice custom home while keeping the existing home to have a small little compound for family and friends.

What makes this property unique

The house is the only one that is positioned on the one block of Gordon Street, keeping the privacy around the home pristine. The current side yard is great for outside relaxing with the two fountains and gardens.
