Had a great stay at Nicolas's place! We were in Athens for our daughter's graduation and it worked out perfectly. Everything was so clean and comfortable, and matched the listing exactly. Nicolas was so friendly and very responsive, we'd love to stay again! Thank you!

Private abode in Southern Victorian
My wife and I stayed here after our wedding and it was a great experience. Super clean and very organized. Jaime and Neil were great hosts!

Cardinal's Roost - Lyndon Apartment: Sleeps 3!
Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to stay in Athens! It’s a short walk to the downtown area and in a quiet/safe neighborhood. Jason was responsive and made our stay amazing!

Athens Retreat
This home was fantastic. Can house large groups and conducive to outdoor lounging or having a cozy weekend inside. Really enjoyed the proximity to downtown areas, and how comfortable it was. Highly recommend!

Charming 1BR Intown (Normaltown) Guest Cottage
This was my second stay at this lovely cottage, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. The space is cozy, clean, and thoughtfully set up with all the amenities you need to feel right at home. Fresh linens and towels were provided, and the separate bedroom from the main living area gave it a nice sense of space and privacy. The kitchenette and dining table made it easy to enjoy meals in, and everything was well maintained and spotless. The location is ideal—central and just a short distance from the UGA campus. The owner greeted me upon arrival, which added a personal and welcoming touch. I’d definitely stay here again!

Art, Biking, Food, and Shopping in Watkinsville
My goodness is this place precious. From the permaculture garden, to the mighty fig trees, to the landscaping, to the gorgeous weathered board and batten studio and the adorable cottage/apartment house. We will book here every time my daughter attends soccer camp! They have created quite the oasis! We felt secluded but we were just a hop, skip and a jump to all the things. I also loved all the sculptures throughout the garden. Well done!

The Garden Home - Steps From UGA Campus in Athens
A nice cozy place to stay - close enough to UGA campus to walk when we wanted, but far enough away to be very quiet at night. For the two of us, this was a great place to stay. For a larger group, I think the small bathroom would become restrictive.

Gallery Carriage House DT Watkinsville w EV
Kathleen's place was as described and spotless. It was beautifully decorated and you could tell she put a lot of thought into making sure you had everything you needed. We plan to return next time we are in town. Nick and Joann

Best Gameday Location - Walk to game/DT - 2BR home
This was such a great stay. The best way to describe this place is it felt like visiting a family member’s vacation home. It was homey, comfortable and we loved all the nostalgia, books and decor in the house. It’s not bare, which is what we loved. Location is perfect to campus and downtown. The beds were very comfortable too!

Serene Apalachee Airstream!
I can’t say enough about this place and the hosts. From the beautiful surroundings and peaceful location, to the well appointed indoors and outdoors of the airstream. I just wanted to stay. Be sure and pick up some groceries, and prep some food for the blackstone on the deck. Hanging out by the fire was such a nice treat and so much land to explore.

Nomehaus Shipping Container Studio Athens GA UGA
This place is one of my new favorites! If i were to describe it in one word, it would be “cozy.” I would absolutely book this place again on my next visit to Athens!

Private Downtown Suite with Gated Parking
Ideal location walking distance to downtown but just outside the edge with privacy and deer in the backyard. Exactly the quiet enclave & respite I needed while recording my album at Nuci's Space. Absolutely perfect for a couple or a solo although the bathroom has a total party shower which was awesome! It hugs the line perfectly between well-equipped apt and grannie's cottage. I loved it. Will be back soon.

Midcentury Modern Pool House in Five Points
everything was very organized and in place. There were labels for everything that was needed if needed. Instructions for thing were easy to follow. This was an amazing stay. We were blessed and grateful for them sharing what they have been blessed with.
