It's okay to choose doing the right thing over money!
I rented this place because my daughter was invited to the Honor Chorus in Athens, GA—an achievement we were so excited to celebrate. Unfortunately, the event was canceled due to a snowstorm, and with ice covering the roads, traveling was simply not safe. Hundreds of drivers were stranded, and I’m grateful we didn’t take the risk. Given the circumstances, I reached out to the owner, hoping for some understanding and the possibility of rescheduling. Instead, I was told that because it was too close to our arrival date, switching dates wasn’t an option. The only offer was a partial refund—half of the 800—if I canceled and if someone else booked the stay. It’s disappointing when policies are prioritized over people’s safety, but I hope this message encourages more kindness and flexibility when unexpected circumstances arise.

Grandma’s house
This reminded me of my grandmother’s house. It has a musty smell, the tiny place was cluttered with old mix-matched furniture. It reminded me of a hoarder’s home. We found live and dead bugs all over. The home is barely visible from the street as it is hidden behind trees and bushes. A few lamps and ceiling lights needed light bulbs. The home lacks even heating as the central heat does not uniformly spread throughout the entire home. Walls are all covered with paintings and pictures that don’t match ch and just add to the clutter. I called the kw er about the lighting and the bugs. She did bring me lightbulbs and told me that bugs are just part of Georgia living. I would not stay here again.
We stayed for a week while my daughter was attending an intensive at UGA. 5 minutes to campus. Lots of bed space, only one tiny bathroom but it worked for us. Owners were easy to work with and friendly and the home was spotlessly clean.
Met up with my sister for a long weekend. First time in Athens, attended a show at the Georgia Theater (great margaritas on the rooftop) and loved the town! We made the most of a rainy day hanging in the cozy back room. The outside shower made the stay even better. If we ever return to Athens I would absolutely book again!
Very cute and clean. We enjoyed the front screened in porch and the back deck.
Upon arrival, we couldn't get a light on in the kitchen using the two light switches. When I pulled the ceiling fan cord, a fan blade hit a wood beam because they were too close together and the ceiling fan was wobbly. I notified the host immediately. After departure, we were charged for the replacement and repair before the work was even done. Then, I received a partial credit once it was completed.
The beds and sofas were uncomfortable. We actually left one night early because the blue room bed lacked support and caved in in the middle and my husband didn't sleep the 3 nights we were there. The sofas lacked support as well and appear to be worn out. This is probably okay for younger people but not a family with grandparents.
We enjoyed staying here. The property is conveniently located near downtown Athens. The backyard is fenced in so you can let your dogs run around. They had as good of a time as we did. Property was clean. Would definitely stay again.
The beds were really comfortable and it was a great amount of space. The full backyard was a perfect addition. In a cute neighborhood that was close to downtown but very quiet and beautiful.
My husband and l were very impressed and quite pleased with both the house/fenced in back yard (for our pups) and the location.
We were very comfortable and felt very much 'at home'... and the neighborhood was pleasantly quiet
The Chicopee Rose Cottage was such a fun place for my family to gather and celebrate my daughter's engagement. The sun room was super cozy and quaint, the perfect place for everyone to gather. We loved all of the art in the house. My nephews were obsessed with finding and counting every last mermaid and owl! It was a little chilly so we didn't get to fully appreciate the beautiful deck and yard, We're hoping to return in the spring when everything is in bloom and we can enjoy the outdoor space.
The host Gwyneth could not be nicer. The house was charming and as listed by the host. We were more than pleased with all the check-in and check-out detail. It is a stress reliever knowing just what needs to be done so all parties have a good transaction. Good backyard for a dog as it has a six foot fence. Not a bad walk to downtown or stadium on cool fall evenings Cheers, Jim
This property is exactly as listed. Great neighborhood, wonderful location, just so glad that I choose this space for us! Will certainly stay again in the future. Owner very communicative and accommodating! Can not say enough positive things.
The house its self was great. A nice cool place to go when not out walking the trails or downtown. The back porch was a wonderful lace to sit and hang out at night. The location is also great. Super close to everything.
