We stayed at this home when visiting our son at UGA. The home is very comfortable with lots of space, and is close to grocery stores and a handful of fast food and sit down restaurants. The 15-20 minute drive to UGA was easy enough, although a little far to go back and forth multiple times a day. Douglas was very responsive to questions and seemed genuinely interested in ensuring that we had a great stay. We would stay here again on a future trip.

Was very nice

We had extended family join us for the 2023 Home Opener. The house was exactly what we needed for our large group - including teens and adults. The house has tons of space along with all the amenities you need. There were numerous sleeping options with plenty of blankets and pillows. Douglas was very quick to reply to any questions we had. We would absolutely stay here again.

This place was perfect. My short stay included myself and my 3 daughters. There was plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and also several comfortable places for us to congregate. Every where we looked we discovered something visually interesting between both the architecture and the artwork. We loved that this space felt more like coming home versus being just a crash pad. I'm looking foreword to booking again when family comes to visit.

My brothers and I stayed here for two weeks with our families, and it was perfect! Cozy, warm and inviting, with plenty of space indoors and out. The interior decor was beautiful- loved all the inspo pics that doubled as wall art. We had 3 families: 6 adults and 6 kids ranging from 9-17 years old - all with varying sleep schedules and living preferences. Parents slept on the top floor & the rooms on the bottom floor were perfect for the cousins to have their own space. The twin room off the primary was a nice bonus. There were more than enough blankets & linens for everyone. The living room/den off the entrance was my fave- lots of light, a cozy bay window seat, a couple guitars and a cabinet full of board games. The screened-in porch was the parents' hangout at night, while the kids had 3 TVs to enjoy a movie, video games, etc. As others noted, the internet was awesome --handled remote work (ie, video calls) plus streaming/gaming apps just fine. The kitchen came with everything we needed: multiple options for making coffee, plenty of dishes, utensils and food storage. It was hot, so the ice maker & AC were much appreciated. The kids were bummed that the swing was knocked down during a recent storm and no basketball hoop, but the giant yard was perfect for relay races, sports and lawn bowling. We were in awe of the multiple deer sightings! The owner, Doug, was great -- he responded quickly to my gazillion questions and checked in on us. Truly an unforgettable family reunion!

This house is located very close to downtown Athens and UGA. Owner is very responsive and easy check in and out. Lots of outdoor space and a screened in porch to hang out in. My teen told me the WiFi connection was insane- apparently no lagging in games. I will forewarn if you have teens there aren’t tvs in three of the bedrooms but they have a large tv in the basement area with 3 futons. Great place to stay overall!

I rented this home for my daughter's bachelorette weekend. The property is gorgeous and well kept. There is plenty of room in the home. The property outside is gorgeous with deer and wildlife. We enjoyed ourselves so much. Every morning, I enjoyed the window seat with a coffee looking out over the wooded yard. The toilet seats must be mentioned! The bathrooms have bidets with nice, toasty warm toilet seats. I'm so glad I chose this home - it was an amazing place to stay!

We loved this property. It looked exactly like the photos--very clean, spacious, relaxing seating areas, plenty of beds. You can hear the babbling brook from the bedrooms and it is so restorative. The decor is wonderful, too. Interesting art, streamlined design, nice vibe. Also, there is a screened-in porch where you can enjoy the trees and the creek. Also, Doug was extremely responsive and always available to answer questions and do whatever he could to make our stay terrific--which it was.

our family needed a place to all come together to celebrate the life of my mother that passed away. We grew up in the area in the 80's and thoughts it would be nice to all stay together, uncle's, aunt's, nieces, and nephews. This house was woulderful! Great front and back yard for the kids and dogs. The sounds of the creek we're amazing. Us adults would sit on the screen deck and play cards til late while the kiddos slept. It was such a great gathering place. Minutes from a couple parks. Side walks for miles, we were able to get great morning runs and walks in. I was so sad to leave. We made some great memories. Douglas, the host, was readily available for anything we needed or asked but didn't overly impose into our stay. It was just a wonderful week and I can't wait to come back!

This house was just what we needed for our family of 8 adults and 7 children. The main floor accommodated us nicely during the day, and there were enough beds for everyone to sleep on at night. We did have a couple of issues, but the owner promptly addressed them to our satisfaction, either during our stay or immediately after. The owner was very thoughtful, accommodating, and responsive, and we would stay here again in the future.

The house and surrounding property was fantastic! We had a family gathering of eight. Five adults stayed in the house and our daughter, husband, and son live 5 minutes away. No one wanted to do any sight seeing. We all just stay on the property enjoying each other in this spacious, beautiful home overlooking woods, stream, and plenty of deer. We had plenty of room to spread out and a big kitchen and dining area for meals. The many windows provide great views from every room. The screened in porch was fun and we had a pit fire one night. Hope we have a chance to return. The owner was great....available if we needed anything, but not overbearing at all. Love this spot!

We were in town for a week in preparation for our daughter's wedding in Madison. We had extended family members staying with us, prepping during the week. The location is extremely peaceful!! Just what we needed! Douglas was an AMAZING communicator from Day 1! We were so thankful! Location is great! Not super close to campus but close enough (7 min) to local grocery stores. Just perfect for our purposes!

The house inside and out was amazing, it had everything we needed to keep us confortable. The scenery was gorgeous there were even deers in the yard one morning. The owners were also nice checking on us seeing how we ere doing. Overall strongly recommend staying here it was great.

This property was very nice. It had plenty of room for our large family and was conveniently located near restaurants, grocery, etc. The host checked in with me on the app during our stay to ensure we were enjoying our trip and to ask if we had any questions. I highly recommend this booking!

If I could give this property 10 stars, I would! The property is a gem, and the owner is extremely responsive and wonderful. The property is located just a few minutes from town, making it a perfect spot if you plan to catch a UGA game. The home itself is beautifully designed, with beautiful details throughout. Sitting outside on the screened in porch, hearing the waterfall while watching the deer graze and play just outside was almost magical. Lots of space for the family to relax and enjoy our vacation, with lots of room to cook and entertain. We will definitely be back, and recommend this wonderful spot to anyone looking to stay in Athens.

I wish I could give this home and its owner 10 stars. My husband, our two poodles, and I spent a month at this home in Athens as we waited for the birth of our amazing son Araz (born via a surrogate who lived nearby). We cooked delicious dinners that we ate at dusk on the back porch, played epic games of fetch with our dogs in the backyard, watched UGA football games on the TV, and took long neighborhood walks to appreciate the gorgeous fall colors. Throughout the entire process, Doug, the property's host, was incredibly responsive and accommodating. He responded quickly to every question we had, and showed tremendous patience in helping us navigate the home. When our son was born, we welcomed him into this cozy and joyous home. This house on Old Lexington Road was our son's first home, and it will always hold such a special place in our hearts. While most of you will not be staying there under as exceptional circumstances (!), you will still enjoy all that made this home so remarkable- the gorgeous morning light, the unique and tasteful decor, the stunning back porch, the deer who share the property, and the incredible responsiveness and kindness of Doug, the property owner. I have had a lot of positive short term rental experiences, but none will ever be as meaningful or as perfect as our time at this wonderful home in Athens. Enjoy!

Doug is a great host with a great house!

Beautiful, spacious, clean house. Owner was very communicative and helpful. Looking forward to staying again.

I booked this house for a number of reasons. This was Parents Weekend for ZTA, we had tickets for the Georgia Vs. Kent State and it was the first time that my nephew and his fellow football teammates had gotten the opportunity to all be together since the tragic loss of one of their own over the summer. From the first morning that I watched a family of deer grazing as I sipped my coffee, I knew this weekend would be what these kids needed to move forward. I’m pretty sure the “fire pit” has healing properties and many tears and much laughter as past adventures came to the forefront and helped with this much needed healing process. Thanks for the use of this remarkable property.

Great stay for a UGA football weekend! Property was beautiful with plenty of room and a nice big yard. Loved sitting on the screened porch at night. Check in and out was easy and the host was immediately available for all communication!

We came to visit our daughter who just began at UGA. The home was massive with tons of space to spread out. The point of this trip was to have family time and that is exactly what we did. We enjoyed plating games, watching movies and cooking homemade meals. Beds were comfortable with plenty of linens and extra blankets. The decor was beautiful and we really appreciated the large selection of games and books. Everyday we got see a family of deer in the yard. We will definitely book this home again in the future.

Excellent experience from start to finish, from description of home, booking, home and property condition, to ease of check out. A beautiful, well maintained home and furnishings, with many amenities. Would definitely return.

This house truly feels like a retreat in the woods! The house is beautifully appointed with everything that you could possibly need. Loved the mid century modern furniture and our host did a great job being responsive and making sure that all our needs are taken care of during our stay. Would highly recommend staying at this house, you will not be disappointed!

You can feel the love and care that went into the design of this home. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful outdoor spaces and the cozy interiors. The only rough part of our stay was all 7 of us fighting over the window seat! This home is a gem!

Beautifully decorated, comfortable, everything we needed. Even had a little deer family in the yard!

We booked this for my daughter's graduation from UGA. All I can say is if you are looking for somewhere for graduation THIS IS THE SPOT. It's far enough outside of town that you feel like you are having a getaway, but close enough to do downtown and all the graduation festivities that you can be there in 10 minutes. Loved the decor and layout of the home and really enjoyed the screened in porch where we spent most night talking and listening to the sound of the creek below. Cannot recommend this home enough! Will definitely book again for my other daughter's graduation.

My family and I really enjoyed staying at this property. The forest surroundings are absolutely beautiful. The house was great. Highlighted by a screened in patio overlooking a running creek. My wife and son were unable to make the trip, and so have every intent on revisiting this property with them in the near future. Douglas was very responsive and easy to work with. Overall this was a very enjoyable experience.

My family and I needed a place to stay for a bit in a transition phase, this house is wonderful decorated and so inviting when you walk in. It has felt like home from the moment we got here. It’s quiet and has wonderful spaces to enjoy. Coffee on the screened in porch while watching the deer by the creek is a wonderful way to start the morning. Doug is great to work with, quick to respond and very helpful. We have enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful, very comfortable house for the perfect get-away. Fun mid-century furnishings and a spacious, well stocked kitchen with room for all to be part of the cooking action. Plenty of space to spread out for different activities including the fire pit area by the relaxing creek. Far enough out to feel “away”, but close enough to all the convenience of East Athens as well as UGA. It was perfect for our holiday family gathering. We’ll be back.

We absolutely loved this home! It had a great amount of bedrooms and sleeping areas and was a quick Uber away from downtown/UGA. There was a huge backyard-- and we saw deer! It was the perfect place to spend a long weekend :) Very clean and spacious
