Guest suite in Bogart

Peaceful Southern Charm (2 auto limit)

KaylaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The good: The space was exactly as described — clean, stylish, and in a great location. The check-in process was smooth, and communication with the host was prompt and friendly. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like extra towels, coffee, and a sweet treat for when we entered. The bed was super comfortable, and overall, it felt like a home away from home. The not-so-good: Unfortunately, there were a couple of major issues that made the stay less than ideal. First, The Beds! They were super comfortable but you couldn’t get out of them. They had memory foam and you literally sunk into the bed which was really uncomfortable waking up or getting out of the bed. Secondly, The water inside the bathroom (pressure) and (temperature) there was something that just wasn’t right. The board games were missing things( the core things). Lastly, parking (abit) of a squeeze and tight for 2 average Vehicles to be parked on location. I hope you find this review helpful!

Lakeside Retreat Near Athens, GA

TaraRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Stayed for two nights to visit with our daughters, one goes to UGA. Yes it was a drive to the campus but the setting and accommodations made it worthwhile! One slept on the pullout couch and reported it was comfortable which is not always the norm. Thank you Debbie and Steve!

Chinaberry Cottage @ Erymwold

BeverlyRating, 5 stars2 days ago

It’s hard to say what a wonderful treasure it is to have found this place. The accommodations and the setting surrounding it are fantastic. Beautiful, peaceful and comfortable. Our two little Jack Russells felt right at home with lots of space to run. Tom is a southern gentleman who is a great host, and his dog Bentley is a sweet little guy. We will make sure to stay here whenever travels take us to the Athens area.

River Bottom Bungalow

StevenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This is a great place to stay, Michael is a great host, very responsive & easy to communicate with. Being able to get on the kayaks he provided & going up the river was very relaxing. The shower was big enough for two & the indoor sauna was a wonderful way to relax after the kayaks. If we ever come back to Athens, we're definitely going to book Michael's place !!

Cabin in Pendergrass

Rustic Cabin in Lovely Wooded Setting

KerriRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We enjoyed our stay at Spencer & Amy’s place. Great communication prior to and during our stay. Very quiet, peaceful location. It was in close proximity to all of our activities around the area. Everything was clearly marked and easy to find in the cabin. Felt like home. We would definitely visit again!

Charming 1BR Intown (Normaltown) Guest Cottage

SusanRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This is the 2nd time we've stayed at the cottage in Normaltown and we hope to go back again in the future. It's the perfect spot for privacy yet close to the city where there's so much to do. One minute you can see a great show but in the morning you can sit and drink coffee and sit on the porch and rock in the rocking chairs out front. Love it so much and would highly recommend!

This was our third time to stay at Brian’s place. And, as always, Brian was a pleasure to communicate with and his house was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. The bed is comfortable and all the linens are very nice. We also love the location which is walkable to many fun and good local restaurants. We will look forward to returning the next time we are in Athens.

Brand New 3 bedroom with a Garage!

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviews1 month ago

Awesome place for a group of people! We had plenty of social space. Loved how the kitchen seemed to be stocked well with pots, pans, and even some ziploc bags which came in handy for us in a pinch! It is right off a main road, but that didn’t impact our stay at all. Would highly recommend!

Waters Edge Retreat-All Decked Out with Pond View

5 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviews1 month ago

We were in Athens for the SEC Swimming and Diving Championships. Go Vols! This home was recommended by a friend, who stayed last year during a swim meet. It exceeded all of our expectations. Gorgeous inside, extremely comfortable bedding, very private, top notch kitchen - a well needed break from full days at an exciting swim meet. We spent 5 nights and didn’t want to leave. About 15-18 minutes to the pool. Kelly communicated often and allowed us to check in early. By far, the best Airbnb we have stayed in. We will definitely book again when in Athens.

Playground, Indoor Games, Pool Table, 10min to UGA

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 99 reviews3 weeks ago

Such a great home in a great location. Close enough to everything at UGA and downtown Athens, but far enough away to have a more homey suburban feel. The beds are super comfortable, the giant sofa (not pictured) is awesome for lounging, all of the provided entertainment (pool table, foosball table etc) is a real bonus and the backyard is so large and private. It is perfect for morning coffee especially with the birds chirping and the deer wandering through. I will definitely book this home again for future trips to Athens.

This was a great place in a nice neighborhood. The house its self was in great condition and was very cozy for our group. It had nice big bedrooms and space to hang out and visit. I would highly recommend it if you are staying in the Winder area. Ludmila's is a great host and everything was just like she said. She was very responsive and helpful getting us set up.

Unique private cottage in charming downtown

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 291 reviews1 month ago

Christine accommodated us on short notice and nothing was overlooked. She was communicative and welcoming. The house is so well decorated and has a feeling of being a home away from home. It’s clean, comfortable and quaint. The design is the highest rating I could give for a tiny house. We would definitely come back! Highly recommend.

Palmetto Hideaway

TashaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Susan is a wonderful host. Her airbnb was very nice and in a great location. The early check in and late check out was a nice amenity that not many people provide. She had fresh flowers, muffins, and other available snacks and drinks which was fantastic after being on the road all day. It was a quick easy drive to campus. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Athens

River Retreat

TaylorRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Charlene’s cabin was better than what even the photos showed. Beautiful living space and the river is closer than you think. Linens smelled like they came fresh from the wash. Plenty of seating and all the food storage options made cooking for 7 a breeze. I look forward to going back!
