A bit of paradise in Decatur

Finding a Vrbo in Decatur for 2-4 people is a challenge. We won the lottery when we discovered this gem! The house is located in a charming area. The photos did not do it justice. Everything - decor, amenities, appliances, technology, comfort - was perfect. Almost didn’t want to note the exceptional quality of the property, because it may not be available the next time we visit Atlanta! We’ll stay here again - it’s terrific.

Great place to stay

My fiancé and I, along with the other couple who stayed really enjoyed our stay. Perfect place for 4 people. The home was very clean and comfortable. The host were great with providing us detailed information regarding our stay. Neighborhood is quiet and kept us away from traffic as we traveled to and from the ATL area. The one thing I’d mention is the patio set was worn,although I could tell it was due to just normal wear from the weather so couldn’t sit out and enjoy the beautiful firepit but I will definitely stay here again for sure!!

College friends attending funeral

We were a bit loud the first night on the front porch. Our mistake! We weren’t thinking clearly as we have been preparing for a funeral and emotions were all over the place. We stayed up a bit late drinking wine on the front porch. Would’ve greatly appreciated the details of checkin prior to day of. I was flying in and since late check in I decided I could only take a carryon because I wasn’t sure if I would be wandering around Decatur with a rolling bag for a couple of hours. Nike was super friendly and tried to get WiFi fixed while we were there but we were too busy to accommodate person to come back later as we were not going to be home. Not sure if the issue got fixed while we stayed there but there was an attempt. No wifi was no big deal for two nights. Thank you for sharing your little cottage.ac unit was loud every time it kicked on if you slept in back room. Other than that cute little bungalow. Coffee was fabulous and the little snack with water bottles was appreciated!

It was great!

The house is very cute and in a lovely neighborhood convenient to everything we wanted to do in Atlanta. Everything has been perfectly restored with great attention to detail. There is a patio with a grill and fire pit table which was perfect for sitting outside in the evenings. The hosts were wonderful, and so accommodating when we wanted to add another night to our stay.

Perfect at Every Measurement! 10 Stars!

My wife and I were in town for a not-so-fun week of medical treatments and needed a location that was both quite, clean, close to everything, and fully furnished with all the necessities. The Backstage Gallery House exceeded our expectations. From the comfortable beds, to the large tub perfect for end-of-day Epson salt baths; everything was perfect. A peaceful neighborhood, thoughtful extras, and the nice Nespresso machine were just icing on the cake. The hosts, Kevin and Nike were very responsive even though we never had any need to contact them. They provided clear and easy check-in information and their contact info for any additional needs we might encounter. We hope this to be the last of our clinic visits, but if we ever do have to return to Decatur, The Backstage Gallery House will be our first choice and safe haven preference.

We wanted some place cozy for a couples weekend to come down for the Peach Bowl. This house was perfect for our needs. Our hosts were in touch with us throughout the day on check in day and even left lights on for us since we were arriving after dark. We would definitely stay here again!

Girls weekend

The house has a great layout and is so cozy- the perfect roommate style. We especially enjoyed the back deck/ fire pit and the coffee/ frother! Just an fyi- when we arrived we notice that the back door has a loose/crooked screw and the wood was split just a little bit. The lock still works well but probably needs to be looked at. Thank you for a wonderful weekend in you cozy home! Shannon

Perfect weekend getaway!

This was the perfect home for our trip. The details, from the rocking chairs on the screened in porch to the welcome snack and coffee selections were all so thoughtful. The location was easily accessible to public transportation and getting to/from downtown Decatur was so easy. We stayed for the Tour Championship which was a quick Uber ride away at East Lake. We would absolutely return and highly recommend!!

Very cozy home, short walk from MARTA

This property was SO nice! It’s in a cute, quiet, tree-lined neighborhood. Walking distance to a MARTA station was VERY convenient, and just minutes from downtown Decatur. Very nice amenities and a few little bonuses made for an extra comfortable stay! What a thoughtful and very hospitable host!

Perfect!

We all had a great stay in a the perfect area. The property is well kept and modern and the Hostess, Nike, maintained great communication throughout our stay. Was a little worried about street parking, (my 89 yo, limited mobility father was with us) but it was not an issue. We never had to park more than three carlengths from the front door. Location was perfect for access to everywhwere we had planned to go. (Emory, Decatur, Inman Park and Georgia Tech) The neighborhood was peaceful and the neighbors were friendly. Would happily stay again, hopefully in the cooler months so we could use the great back porch.

The home has a lot of personality and character. The hosts have done great with the decor as well as with provision of toiletries and other supplies. They responded quickly to all of my inquiries and were very kind and were even sweet enough to provide wine andcroses per my request to make the weeked special for my husband and I. I cant to book with them again!
