Perfect!
5/5 Such a cute, clean, and welcoming place! It was so well appointed and perfect for our weekend trip to visit our son at UGA. All of the extra touches the owners put into it really make it special. We will definitely stay here again.
Thank you!

UGA Parent’s Weekend
5/5 Wonderful property! A little drive from campus, but worth it. Incredibly clean and filled with thoughtful touches.

From the owner: "Thank you for your review. The best part of our location allows for multiple routes to the UGA campus, avoiding most of the traffic. You are in a country setting but only minutes from the East and West sides of Athens. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again."
Perfect retreat and great hosts
5/5 A busy graduation week in Athens is a perfect pairing with this quiet country cottage. We were impressed with how well supplied and well decorated the place is. Every comfort is considered. One of the nicest VRBO stays in quite awhile. Literally a breath of fresh air and sunshine!

"Debra, thank you so much for your review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and hope you will stay with us the next time you travel to the Athens area. You were great guests who left our home in great condition. We enjoyed hosting you. Thanks for staying,"So cute!
5/5 What a great place to stay while visiting our daughter at UGA! The University/downtown Athens was approximately 10 minutes away. Super cute decor and stocked with all the comforts of home. Chickens in the backyard. Screened in porch to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Our hosts were fantastic at communicating quickly. Farm fresh eggs in the fridge, snacks, cold water bottles and honey from their hives upon arrival. Everything was very clean, the sleep number bed and pillows were amazing, towels were plush and plentiful. Appreciate you!

The decor is modern French country and it has everything you need including a rocking chair on then porch to watch the wildlife. When you need to get away from it all……. Check into this charming cottage. The host were a wonderful couple as well, very sweet.
