2x first choice

This is my second time staying at this location and I fall in love each time. Cool breezy mornings, fresh air and stunning sunsets were a part of my stay daily. For those who like to exercise, the long country road is serene and safe (2 or 3 cars came through on my 1 hour walk). The accommodations fulfill every need. If only for 1 night, I suggest you stay here, and I guarantee; you will rebook. Thank you to the owners for the hospitality and conversations. 5-stars.

Don’t miss out on this!

Family of four needing a quiet place after hours in the city. Property exceeded all expectations. Conveniently located but out in the country. No cars driving by, birds chirping, wind blowing, just peace. Home was immaculate, cleaned, well kept, and stocked with movies, coffee, plates/utensils. Comfortable beds with clean linens. I could go on but the property is beautiful, the home felt like home, and the owners were absolutely wonderful.

Enjoyable

We were up from Texas to see our first Grandson graduate. After preparing for his functions each day, friends and classmate gathering, luncheons, practice and diners, it was nice to come and enjoy the sounds of nature. We live on 10 and a half acres in Texas and it was all the comforts of home.

Serenity

The photos capture the structure and location accurately. But, nothing captures the serenity and peace other than the actual experience. I normally choose hotels when away for work but, this getaway was for me. And, it truly delivered a "calgon: take me away". This is the type of location where I want to keep it a secret. THANK YOU 10x over to the owner for the accommodations.

Cozy Clean and Quiet Retreat

Lovely property with great hosts that are very attentive! The home is nicely furnished and very clean. The bed was very comfy! Nice sitting spot to look for Animals over the field at night with a flashlight and a nice beverage. The recommendations for restaurants were great! We enjoyed Mia's for breakfast and Tom Brown's for upscale dinner. One thing that would be helpful is to know that the bathroom is on the lower level in case somebody would have problems with steps in the middle of the night. Definitely will stay here again when we visit our folks:-)

Slice of Heaven

Property was exactly that, a slice of Heaven. Cozy comfy beds and couches, nice place to recharge. Location is great, enjoyed all of Athens, explored the Huntsville attractions, and the Smokey mountains are a beautiful 2 hour drive away for an amazing day out. Property itself is safe and secured, and possibly the best sunrise you’ll ever have the pleasure of being a part of. The land around feels like home and could easily spend an entire day out there by the pond, enjoying all the wildflowers and soaking up the sun. Thank you for sharing your slice, y’all were very kind.

Absolutely Amazing!

We stayed for just a few days. As soon as we entered, it smelled amazing and was very clean!! The property was beautiful!! Enough room that we flew a kite on a windy day. There was a car port that we were able to park under. It was so quiet and secluded, that you could hear all of the sounds of nature. We will definitely be returning if the opportunity presents itself!! The owners were so very nice and responded instantly with any questions we had!!! They compiled a binder full of information about the property AND about restaurants and things to do locally. They really helped make our stay great!!!

Fun Time In The Huntsville/Athens Area

My wife and l had a great experience staying at this guest house. Everything was better than the pictures and description indicated. The home was very clean; beds, sofas, and recliners were comfortable; it was very well decorated and had everything we needed to make for an enjoyable stay. The property is quiet and peaceful yet just a short drive to restaurants, shopping and entertainment. (We went to the Space and Rocket Center and also watched the Trash Pandas baseball game)The Hosts, Deno and Valerie, were very acommodating and answered all our questions in a timely manner. We will definitely be making a return visit and would highly recommend it!! Larry Sparks
