Mini Family Reunion

The property was great for our needs. There were 3 couples and 3 small children and we were all very comfortable. We appreciated that the door on the porch going to the deck locked and we were able to let the kids play on the porch. Beds were very comfortable. We arrived later than we thought we would and it was dark, but had no problems getting in. Close to grocery stores and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals.

Would start again!!!

We had an absolutely glorious time staying in Athens. We were there to celebrate my son‘s wedding and had family in town and were happy we could gather all together. I wish I could give this 10 stars but five are all that are allowed. There was everything we needed in the house and the yard was amazing. Every day there were at least six deer out wandering the yard. We use the chairs around the fire pit to relax for a family dinner, and there was ample beds and relaxing space for all of us. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate. This is a magical space.

Great place for a large family weekend getaway!

We were in Athens for the weekend while our kids attended a sports camp. Arrived Friday evening and left Sunday morning. This was a great place to host our family. The home had ample bedrooms, linens, and space for all to stay comfortably. Outdoor property was nice however we were so busy didn't have a chance to use it. Great location close to shopping and downtown Athens. Very clean property with all needed amenities. I really appreciated the small touches at this rental that made our stay effortless. Communication from the owners was polite, prompt, and extremely helpful. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you.

Family Time for Memorial Service

This was a fantastic home where family could gather to celebrate the life of our mother, grandmother, cousin, and friend. Perfect area to gather outside and enjoy the scenery and each other. The hosts left a beautiful bouquet of flowers for us and graciously allowed me to checkout later when I lost my keys prior to checkout.

Lovely family house in a quiet neighborhood

We booked this home for our trip to athens to visit family. The location was perfect for us because we were looking for something near the west end of town close to our family. The house had all supplies we needed. The beds were comfortable. The layout is great, the master is on one end and the other bedrooms on the other end of the house. The porch is amazing. We loved the outdoor space, it had tons of seating and a fire pit. A family of deer visited each morning and evening. The hosts were very communicative and helpful. We would definitely book again.

This place is the perfect stay for a trip to Athens! Very close proximity to stores, restaurants, and downtown while still having a tranquil, peaceful environment. One morning, we saw a family of deer! Highly recommend this place for family, business trips, and more! The hosts are wonderful with communication, and they go the extra mile in making sure you know the highlights of the area with a welcome booklet in the house! Will definitely stay again!

Family house in Athens

The house was very clean and well maintained. There was plenty of room for our family, 5 bedrooms and plenty of towels. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was good size and was completely stocked and we cooked several meals at the house. We really enjoyed watching the deer on n the backyard every morning. There was plenty of outdoor seating. The host was very responsive to my questions. I would highly recommend if you have a large group and visiting Athens.
