Great Little Spot in Athens

Second time staying at this property to attend a UGA football game. It's quaint, cozy, clean, and perfectly located near campus and the Five Points area of Athens. Exactly what we need to enjoy a football weekend. Would absolutely stay here again!

lovely little cottage. My only complaint was the air freshener in the house was so strong it gave me a headache. I called & they removed it. However, the scent was so strong that it still remained in the house, but it was tolerable.

Perfect Location

My husband and I were in Athens to visit our son and attend a UGA football game. This cottage was perfect for our needs! Clean, quiet, comfortable, and an easy walk to the game (and all that Five Points has to offer). Check-in was a breeze and the owner was very easy to communicate with. Would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful casita in backyard with its own little yard . It was close to UGA and I did do a fair amount of walking in the neighborhood and felt safe at all times. Bedroom and living room are on separate climate control remotes which works for me and my husband. Would definitely stay here again!

Athens Cottage

This is a cozy cottage in a garden setting behind the main property. It is perfectly located next to campus and within walking distance of many restaurants in the 5 points area. I walked everywhere and enjoyed several lunches in the backyard garden. Communication with the owner and manager are excellent and accommodating. Lovely stay.

Amazing time in Athens

My husband and I traveled to Athens to visit UGA with our daughter. She spent the weekend with a friend and we stayed in the cottage. It was adorable, clean and quaint. It had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed local shopping, dining and some fun breweries. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us. Everything was perfect and exactly as described

Graduation visit

We came down for the high school graduation of a family friend. The cottage was absolutely perfect! It was adorable and clean and very comfortable! We couldn't have asked for more. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Even the directions for the TV were very helpful. The backyard of the property was beautiful, plants and bushes everywhere! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!!! Thank you!

Another amazing stay!

I have been coming to Athens for 30 years now. I spent most of my life living in Saint Augustine Florida, and was married to a Georgia peach so going to Athens was par for the course! This Vrbo was the nicest place I've stayed at to date and I have shunned hotel stays for the past five years. It was everything the description showed and didn't let me down. I highly recommend this location.

Great Cozy Cottage Stay

Thank you for a positive VRBO stay. Everything was as described in the listing. The bottled water and wine were a thoughtful addition. Noteworthy: we used the washer and dryer. However, the lint filter had not been cleaned (ever). It was a fire hazard, and was overly filled with lint etc, which explained why the dryer was not efficient. I cleaned it out. Other than that, the stay was exceptional! It’s a beautiful cottage, and the birds chirping in the morning, made for the perfect wake up call.

Secluded yet Close

Located where 5 Points and the campus meet, you couldn't be much closer to South Campus. The space is pleasantly simple, but well-outfitted. Located on a terrace behind the main house, it's quiet and serene. I'm not sure this is always the case, but the main house was unoccupied during my 3-night stay, which made it feel even more secluded. I recommend taking a walk on the Greenway accessed behind the music school

My best friend and I watched cotton candy sunsets, birds and chipmunks playing. We even had the opportunity to see a raccoon scurry across the yard. We went on 5 mile walks and enjoyed the beauty of the neighborhood and the trees. This was so pleasing, as we were here for school and after class this was just what we needed to slow our minds. A lot of laughs and meals were shared in this tiny and cozy home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciate you so much for sharing a tiny piece of your home.
