Nice place to stay for Dawgs game

The host was accessible via text and very quick to respond. You could walk to the stadium in about 45 minutes to an hour (beats the high parking fees) I would have given 5 stars but it was extremely hard to find at night. No street lighting made the address very difficult to see. GPS led us too what appeared to be a radio station next door. There are multiple properties at the location. They were well labeled and easy to pick the correct one. Again, lighting was a bit of an issue. There is a steep set of iron stairs with a hand rail on one side and nothing on the other. There was a lot of dead foliage on the stairs, but someone took care of that the next day. The inside of the cottage was very clean and up-to-date with modern appliances.

Piece of Heaven

Our daughter who lives in Athens is recovering from a stroke. We were there to visit and offer any help we could. Unknowingly when we chose to stay at Cara, it would be our serene get away. The setting like a peaceful English Cottage, offering comfort and convenience. I know God directed us there. Thank for sharing your home with us. Thinking it may become our GA retreat♥️

When we got there the property had leaves and sticks all over the place. That was rectified a day later, though, and the outside looked great. The outdoor lighting could be much better- the solar pathway lights were not working. These 2 gripes are actually minor- we had a great stay and would stay there again.
