We enjoyed our stay at Ginny's Place and everything was as advertised.

The house is very comfortable and clean. It is also well stocked with anything you will need. Everything went well and is as described in the listing. It’s not walkable to downtown but only a ten minute drive. Uber was only $7 and readily available. We would highly recommend this property and host.

Ginny’s Place was perfect for our family golf week. We made a day trip to Augusta National to attend the Masters practice round, then played the UGA course in Athens the next day.
The house is well-appointed in every way. I have stayed in VRBO’s around the world…Ginny’s Place is one of the best! If we’re ever back in Athens, I hope Ginny’s Place is available.

It felt just like home. It's a nice neighborhood and conveniently located to UGA, downtown and plenty of other things.

Our stay at Ginny’s place was perfect. Close proximity to UGA and downtown Athens and the Classic Center where our event took place. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was nice too. The owner was readily available and responded quickly to any questions I had. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed for a week and the house was perfect. Warm, safe, comfortable. Thank you, Farol, for helping me out with the Roku ;).

Clean and comfortable! Perfect for us. The driveway is really steep, which isn't a deal breaker, but if you have a trailer hitch on your truck, you need to remove it before going up or down.

We rented for a football weekend. Just a 10 min drive to stadium. The house was very clean, comfortable, and in great condition. Kitchen had everything needed. We felt at home and welcomed.

I have chronic bronchitis and am allergic to chemicals in cleaning products and detergents and their odors. Farol made sure that the house was cleaned with products that I use at home and was so helpful in making our stay comfortable. We will be repeat visitors when we visit our son. Thanks you so much Farol for going the extra effort to help me!

We rented this home while our floors were being redone. The host communicated well with us up front and there was a lot of friendly back and forth chatting on the vrbo app about our stay. We also exchanged phone numbers.
Unfortunately when we arrived at the property, the code we were given did not work. I texted, phoned and left a vm, and sent a message on the app but no response. Finally I called customer service and they confirmed our reservation and provided a back up phone number and we were able to reach the owner's son. Apparently she forgot about our reservation. She said that she would get the home cleaned and text me when it was ready.Three hours later we got a text that we could get in, but I was working that weekend and had returned to work and my husband also had returned home. It was dark by then, and raining and with the steep driveway I told her we could not move in that night.
We returned the next day and the home was neat, clean, and quiet, and the pics and description were accurate except for the 2 car garage, which cannot accommodate 2 cars. We had to move things closer to the wall to fit our cars, but we could barely get them in and could not open our car doors, so my husband parked on the street.
After we moved in the host apologized for the mishap about the reservation and on the vrbo chat said she would like to "completely refund our stay".
After 8 business days the charge was still on our card so I contacted her about the refund. She reminded us that it takes some time for the refund to go through vrbo and then asked us what would be a fair refund and what we would be happy with. I said that she had told us she was going to "completely refund our stay" but if that was no longer her intent I would accept a 50% reduction plus the cancellation insurance we purchased. She replied that she was sorry for "our miscommunication" but she would comp the night we did not stay there, plus an extra night. I never replied as I was too shocked and disappointed and just wanted the whole thing to be done. This was my first experience w vrbo.

Cozy, comfortable, clean and close…to UGA!!! Perfect spot to use as a home base while visiting our son. He enjoyed staying with us too, for some well needed rest, home made lunches, snd even for mom to do a couple of loads of his laundry. ;) Farol and Jason were wonderful and helpful hosts. We will definitely be back!!!

Ginny’s place had everything we needed for our stay. It was very clean and there was plenty of wash cloths, towels and all of the kitchen utensils we needed. It was a bit more than waking distance to the UGA campus, but that wasn’t a big deal because we had a car and also were able to use Uber very easily. I loved the screened in porch for my morning coffee and just having a home to relax and unwind in without having to worry about disturbing sleeping teenagers.

Second time I have stayed at the house and it was great. Well designed house that would be ideal for a game day group or a family that needs to stay together for a visit. Or an individual wanting a long term stay. Furniture, appliances, utensils are excellent. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious and cared for. Be ready for a great stay!

Lovely home that was conveniently located to everything in the Athens area. There was an ample amount of space for all of the guests. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we possibly could need. The family room was a great entertaining space to watch the Georgia game. Overall, it was a great stay and many memories were made thanks to Jerry and Farol's amazing home. We will definitely stay here again next time we return to Athens
