My wife and I had a lovely time with the bungalow. Perfectly set up for a relaxing stay with our dog and an excellent location to explore Athens!

We've stayed here twice now for swim meets. It's the perfect retreat in between events and we aren't all stuck in one hotel room. The owners have thought of everything. We'll be back again!

We love this property and neighborhood. This was our second week long stay two summers in a row. The owners are so sweet and have thought of everything you need, down to the fur babies! Highly recommend renting and feeling like an Athens local!

Comfortable and nicely decorated home with a spectacular view of farmland and mountains. It was small but comfortable for the two of us and our small dog. It was a newly built duplex home with the owner living next door. Giovanella was very nice, welcoming us with a bottle of wine. She messaged us with the intricacies of the home and suggestions where to go in the area. This was very helpful. We were only there two nights so the Caverns are a must!

We stayed here for a swim meet at UGA. Very close to UGA and downtown. Home was perfect and very clean. Will definitely stay again for our next trip to Athens. Carolyne and John were very responsive and accommodating.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Cheerful Eclectic Bungalow. It was centrally located and convenient to the places we needed and wanted to go while in Athens. Plenty of room, well furnished and the yard was just what we needed for our dogs. We would definitely stay here on another visit to Athens.

We absolutely loved our stay in the Cobbham cottage. It is extremely convenient to downtown Athens and in a wonderful, walkable, quaint neighborhood. The check in and check out instructions were perfect with great communication from the owner. The decor is beautiful and comfortable, and the house is very well-stocked with everything you need. They supplied, water, coffee, shampoo/conditioner, condiments and spices, etc... really great attention to detail. The beds and linens are exceptional for a great night sleep. House is also dog-friendly and owners provided a crate and dog bed, plus the backyard is fenced in. All in all, this was a perfect property for our needs and I highly recommend it for your stay in Athens.

This older property was perfect for my wife and I. Most appreciated was the cleanliness of the house. This is not always the case in older houses but this one was spotless. It was a little too far to walk to things but an easy drive to a lot.

The property was great, Extremely dog friendly. To my dog's surprise there was a jolly ball in the backyard one of her favorites!!

Definitely my go to place from now on when visiting georgia

We had a terrific time! House was warm and welcoming. Even had Holiday decorations for us! Checking in was seamless. Host/Hostess were very nice and made us feel at home. We walked to Normaltown and downtown Athens with no problem. It was close to everything we needed. The dog really enjoyed it, as well. They thought of her too. I would definitely stay here again!

Dawg walk with our Cockapoo and Shih-Tzu. Fenced rear yard and plenty of floor space.
Home has aged beautifully and plenty of character within.
Due to the age and style of the home - Bring your fans, it is HOT even in October.

We stay at John & Carolyne's place for UGA parents weekend and will definitely be back. The home has cool & retro Athens vibes all the way down to the record player. The kitchen is well appointed including snacks & coffee. And our dog loved the backyard and pet friendly amenities.

This was an incredible experience working with Carolyne & John Britt. They were super responsive and allowed us to move dates when our plans changed. The house was perfect with a fenced in back yard and a lot charm, and extremely pet friendly (dog bed, crate, shampoo, treats) The house is a little older so they have done everything you can think of to ensure you have what you need to include multi-plug/usb outlets to easy streaming security, Brita water filter, umbrellas…you name it, they thought of it.
It is a really cute house, very clean and nice to have a driveway to park. I would definitely stay there again and think the Britts are incredible hosts.

Carolyne and John have a lovely, pet friendly home. My husband, dog, and I were in town for several days to move one of my UGA sons to a new apartment. The house is adorable, clean, and was exactly as the listing represented. We arrived very late in the evening and had no difficulties entering the house. Their home is well-equipped and had everything we could possibly need. The master bed is very comfortable The location was great and close to downtown. We did use an Uber one evening and had no trouble getting an Uber to town and returning later that evening. We would not hesitate to rent their home again.

This property had everything we could’ve asked for…and more! The space is even bigger than the pictures show. It is clear that these hosts put plenty of thought into providing whatever you could need, whether you walk on two legs or four. We can’t wait to bring our dogs back, and our kids, and our friends.

We spent a wonderful week at this property while our children (14 and 12) attended UGA summer camp. This was our second stay in Athens this summer and I highly recommend this house. We were so comfortable including our two dogs and kept saying how much at home we felt. The location is about a mile and a half from downtown and the neighborhood is lovely and historic. I felt comfortable walking the dogs even late at night and there were lots of walkers and bikers and close restaurants. The hosts are wonderful too! Lots of good local Athens music to play on a real record player and books! We worked from home all week and I even had a comfortable office.
Snacks were provided as well as all essentials to make our week great. There is a fenced yard and a dog bed and dog pick up bags and shampoo and even dog treats in the kitchen. Our pups have never been happier any house that we have rented. I can't wait to return next summer and highly recommend. My kids said to vote 10 stars! :-) Couldn't have asked for more.

We had a great stay at this property with our son and our 2 dogs. Normaltown is such a convenient location in Athens to get downtown or really anywhere. The fenced in yard was great for the dogs and the front porch was super cozy during a passing thunderstorm. The house was super clean, well decorated, and comfortable. Communication with the owners was great. I will definitely look to stay here again on a future visit.

If there was something I needed, it was there. Everything from toiletries to first aid kit, remote batteries, salt/pepper, tea, coffee, laundry supplies. For my pups - dog beds, tennis balls, towels, pillow, crate & pooper scooper. The list goes on. Very organized and well appointed in every way.
I also appreciated the area rugs. My 14 year old dog doesn’t walk on bare floors so I usually have to bring towels to use as runners when I travel.
I will be returning next month and delighted I won’t have to pack near as much!

I stayed here during my doctoral program residency week at UGA (GO DAWGS!). The location is nice and located on a quiet street. The bed is extremely comfortable and I will be contacting the host asking them for all those details. I traveled with my Great Dane, Willie and he enjoyed the fenced in back yard and nice sidewalks to stroll down. It is a little too far to walk to downtown, but an easy Uber. Very comfortable space and I felt welcome.
