Spain Rd. Hamlet is located on eleven private acres by the river and shares it with the main house, the oldest Victorian house in Atlanta, circa 1834. The beautiful studio occupies the second story of the carriage house and has its own private everything including parking space. A balcony in the front and a large deck in the back overlooking beautiful rolling hills are the best places for a morning coffee. Old water oaks, pines and sweet gum trees sparsely populate the peaceful landscape. The guests are welcome to use the hammock, the swing chair, the basketball court, a ping pong table. This studio is a quiet retreat, away from hustle and bustle of the big city yet some 20 min. drive from Atlanta. It is 5-7 min. drive to Stone Mountain park and 3 min. drive to Yellow River park.

Feels like home

This was my second time staying at this property while I was visiting "back home". I see no need to ever stay anywhere else as long as this charming guest apartment is available. The hosts Vlad and Natalya have been gracious and very responsive both times, the property is beautiful and quiet and the space has everything you need. Includes a deck overlooking the acreage which is a great place to sit in the morning to get your day going and in the evening to listen to the sound of the sounds of the south. The only thing I would improve would be a better wifi connection in the room. Overall, a fantastic place, where I will continue to stay as long as it is available. Thank you Vlad and Natalya!

Quiet Getaway

We came into town to visit family and attend a funeral. We enjoyed visiting with friends and family but also looked forward to coming back to this quiet getaway hamlet where we could reminisce of our beloved sister. After the long days, the hamlet proved to be a place where we could enjoy much needed peace and tranquility.

Incredible place...

It’s a great little property, with its own park like backyard. It’s very picturesque...both inside and out. The owners went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of... can’t say enough good things about them!

Favorite Place to Stay

I'm in the area every month for a weekend long class. I've stayed in a few other places in the area and the carriage house is hands down my first choice. I'm there as a single woman and feel completely safe and comfortable.

The property is wonderful. Overall, very charmingly decorated and not fussy; you can really feel at home while you are there. Private drive, deck overlooking a beautiful clearing where you can literally watch the deer play. Large bed is very comfortable, small kitchen very functional with a decent sized refrigerator, toaster oven, coffee maker, stove top and some basic utensils (including pots and pans). Cute bathroom with a small but perfectly usable shower, and hot water is not a problem. In room air conditioner that is well suited to the size of the room and very quiet. Large tv but channel selection is somewhat limited. Very nice furniture with plenty of places to store your clothes and other items, and comfortable chair and loveseat seating. Wifi was a little spotty. I would mention that if stairs are a problem for you, this might not be the place as it is only accessible by stairs. The property hosts are very warm and friendly as well as quiet and respectful of your privacy. They also make some great honey from their own bees! Overall, there was nothing that I didn't like about the place and see no reason that I would stay anywhere else when I am back home for a visit.

Quiet retreat and great place to sit outside at night.

Comfy king size bed and private get away. Fridge was well stocked with fresh fruit and English muffins, orange juice, 1/2&1/2, cheese, eggs, the homeowner’s own honey. Would have loved to had a little better communication with the homeowners before we arrived so we would know if the room would be unlocked or not and where to find the key as well as where we were to park our car.

We loved the hospitality of Vlad and Natalya. The character suite above the garage was perfect for us. We enjoyed the historical tour of the main house. Location is great and the surrounding parkland.

Idyllic Retreat

Wonderful spot, with beautiful grounds and several large forested parks close by. Hosts are so friendly and accommodating; they provided excellent breakfast supplies. The interior space is extremely well planned, comfortable, and tasteful. I want to recreate it in my own home! This will be one of the first places I check next time in Atlanta

About the host

Hosted by Vlad & Natalya

Your hosts are are Natalya and Vlad. Natalya is a digital designer and an inspiration behind every project. Vlad is a retired teacher with a range of hobbies. We will be happy to assist you in getting to know Atlanta any time you you get tired of relaxing at your quiet and tranquil place.

Why they chose this property

Situated just 15 min away from the Perimeter our place is very well insulated from the urban concrete "jungle" of the big city.
It is bordered on all sides with parks, river and acres of rolling hills.
You will see a family of deer playing around in the morning or afternoon. You will be treated to our own honey and in season with plentiful Chanterelles picked up right here on the property.
The deck in the back built around an old pine tree is overlooking the meadow and the woods with beautiful vistas in every direction. There's also a balcony overlooking the front of the property. Cable tv and internet will keep you company (should you get lost in space and time:) The house was the filming site for a 2015 horror movie - "Bleed" (no need to be scared, its all fantasy:) A Wine & Tour of the main Victorian house is available upon request at $15 a guest.

What makes this property unique

Vaulted ceilings with Tudor style faux beams, back deck, front balcony. A hammock, ping pong table, swinging chair by an old oak, a basketball court and the grill are at your disposal.
