About this house rental
Centrally located at 917 Piedmont Avenue on the most beautiful street in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, our home sits above the street on the corner of Piedmont and 8th Street with sweeping views of the Midtown skyline. It is a meticulously restored and elegantly furnished 2-story Victorian.
This gracious and elegant property is a unique event space and movie location in the central part of Midtown Atlanta. Guests enter from the street through a Japanese garden to reach the large front porch with generous seating overlooking the Midtown skyline. The central foyer has hardwood floors, a large fireplace, original stained glass windows, and an imposing staircase perfect for wedding photos. Opening onto the foyer are a living room, large dining room, kitchen, library, and 1/2 bath. The home is beautifully furnished with items in keep with its heritage but updated for comfort. There is a beautiful baby grand piano in the living room available for use. Our home has been used by movie stars, business executives, company staff, families, and anyone desiring an open floor plan. It can easily accommodate 45-60 people for a function. It's also been the location for various movie shoots and is popular with the film industry.
The house is available for events such as small weddings, rehearsal dinners, parties, luncheons, business meetings, retreats, reunions, etc. Rental fees depend on the size of the event and your plans for use of the facility, such as catering, open bar, music, etc.

So much potential
A beautiful house with some really beautiful features, furniture and art in the perfect location to explore midtown. This could easily be a five star rental, but the cleanliness and attention to detail are lacking. Mixed in with lovely antiques, you find a lot of clutter, and lack of care. Beautiful cabinets you’d love to unpack into are full of dust, grit, crusty old used washcloths, screws, balled up spare sheets, a towel ring half in the box that was never installed, etc. The beautiful big master bedroom closet contains uninstalled artwork and an old mattress leaning against the wall. The mud room you see in the picture is unusable for your coats and boots due to old Christmas decorations, a large coffee table on its side, unknown children’s coats, random boxes of stuff. The door to the mud room is not closeable so you have to look at all this junk every time you come in and out the door. The porches have dingy cushions, ashtray full of butts, a metal table with no glass top so you can’t put anything on it. There’s a big sealed brown cardboard box at the bottom of the grand staircase. Why? Almost every light fixture has at least one bulb that is black and dead. There was not one clock in the house set to the correct time. There was a used sock under our beautiful fancy bed which we found because the slats underneath the bed kept randomly falling out. The lamps near our bed still had tags on them from the store. There is a dead flower arrangement and a plant in a dingy bowl on the kitchen counter. Some of the furniture is different than the pictures, but it is still nice and most is comfortable. Kitchennis we’ll supplied. I just wish someone would take the time to do a thorough cleaning and provide some tlc! This house could be amazing. It does have a lot of space. Communication was fine. We did have an issue with the heat not working in the carriage house one night. We were unable to use that space (which we payed extra for) because it was so cold in there. They did their best to remedy the situation, and though “sorry we were inconvenienced” a five star rental would have offered to refund the up charge for the night the space was unusable. There was little acknowledgement for my embarrassment at offering my guest a room with us that was 50 degrees. They drove home to Sandy Springs instead of sleeping there.Thankfully it warmed up for the next night. Otherwise the host’s solution was to put them in the old mattress in the master closet.

A Royal Thanksgiving!
Our family gathered at the beautiful Royal home on Piedmont in Midtown Atlanta. What a lovely home, well appointed and great location. Karen is a pleasure to work with and responds quickly to any question. We couldn't have asked for a better home and location to host Thanksgiving! We will be back for sure!

Historic Stay in Midtown
Staying at this beautiful southern home with so much charm was the perfect place to welcome friends and family to Atlanta. The home is spacious and location is perfect in walking distance to great coffee shops and restaurants.
The gracious old southern home is full of beautiful treasures and one feels they are staying in a lovely B & B rather than a rental home.
We had a wonderful weekend and highly recommend this beautiful home.

Wonderful Weekend!!
The house was amazing, Victorian furnishings and all. The proximity to things in midtown was second to none, the park, botanical gardens and plenty of great restaurants. Karen was very helpful and attentive to all of our needs/questions/etc. Downtown was walkable but easier to take a short Uber or Lyft. I would absolutely recommend this charming property and I hope we get to return sooner than later!! :)

Nice house and Great Location
The home was very accommodating, fully furnished and conveniently located centrally to all activities and entertainment. I would have given it 5 stars but the housekeeper could do a better job with the housekeeping and exterminating. The ants are bad in the kitchen. But overall it is a great place to stay.

A Memory for the Family
Our family celebrated my parent's 50th anniversary here. What a special long weekend! The house is elegant, unique, with so many thoughtful touches and space for a large family (8 adults and 1 infant). We especially loved sitting outside on the porch, chatting, listening to the fountain and looking at the trees and skyline. It's residential yet everything in midtown is so convenient. We walked to Piedmont Park everyday. This is a wonderful property that will leave you with great memories of Atlanta.

Beautiful Family Home!
Our family truly enjoyed the stay at this lovely midtown home! There was room for all of us to be together and relax. We especially loved the front porch and the library, where many chess battles took place! Karen was wonderful to work with and made so many special accommodations for us during our stay there. This was a very memorable time for our family in this beautiful home!

Beautiful property. Great weekend getaway for friends and family
The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is that there were issues with 3 of the bathrooms. No hot water in one, a leak in the other that came through the downstairs ceiling and a faucet that came off in another a spray water all over. Other than that, the place was wonderful. I loved the front porch and the back yard with the fountain. Would rent again if the bathroom issues are addressed. Perfect location!

Awesome Graduation Weekend!
My family and I were in town for my son's GATech graduation. Karen's house was the perfect place for us. We were close to campus and many of the activities that we planned for the weekend. The house was roomy enough for 9 of us and a great place to gather with additional family that came in town for the weekend.
Karen made check in and check out very easy and even accommodated us when we arrived in town early on check in day.

Beautiful home
We were in town for the Sweetwater 420 Music fest. The home is in a perfect location and worked for our group great. Loved the front porch. We lived like Kings for three days.

Adorable home in a great location!
Couldn't have had a better experience, our family enjoyed the stay using both the main house and the carriage house. We walked to local restaurants and took all of the kids to the park. The owners are so hospitable and let us check in early after our flight plans changed. We highly recommend this property, worth every penny!!
