We needed a spot to stay while our son attended football camp at UG. Ginny’s place was perfect. Nice, clean, plenty of room, all the amenities and great location. Host was great. Only note would be that the driveway is kind of steep so some cars may scrape fender getting up. Neighborhood is nice, safe and street parking is fine so not a big deal. Would definitely stay again if in Athens.

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!

Nice Home But Bad Experience
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.

UGA Visit
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!!!

Clean, comfortable, well equipped
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 was a Charm
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!

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

Great property
Very well maintained property with a owner that wants to make sure your stay goes well. Lots of space and the kitchen has every thing you would need to have a great stay. A/C heating was great. Bedroom and bathrooms have very good space and great beds. We stayed for about seven weeks and would schedule the property again.

Great stay in Athens
This house was perfect for our stay on a game day weekend in Athens. The property manager communicated well and had taken care of every detail at the house. This place far exceeded expectations. We enjoyed sipping coffee on the porch! Would recommend to anyone, and would definitely stay here again.

Lots of extras at Ginny's Place!
Ginny's Place has lots of sleeping capacity and lots of living space, so you dont feel cramped! The owner provides a full kitchen with all the everyday things that you might not have thought of ... plastic baggies, foil, non-stick spray, etc. The accommodations are beautiful & comfortable, in a nice neighborhood. This is my choice, if I'm ever back in Athens, GA.

Fantastic Choice
Couldn't be happier with our stay. The location is great and centrally located to everything Athens has to offer. The house is very comfortable and everything you could ask for has already been considered and provided by the owners (who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome).
Not only would we recommend staying here, we already booked a repeat stay due to our happiness with the property. Can't wait for our next visit.

Great location in the Classic City
Jerry's property was immaculately clean and comfortable. Anything we could possibly need was provided--it was clear a lot of thought has gone into what is needed to make for an easy stay! The location is also convenient to the farmer's market, downtown, and other Athens attractions. Will definitely stay here again when we visit!

Wonderful UGA graduation memories!
My wife's and my daughter graduated from the University of Georgia in May 2019. Being from St. Louis, and having a handful of family members wanting to attend, we needed to find a nice home to stay in that a) would be affordable to us and b) just a few minutes from the UGA campus. "Ginny's Place" turned out to be a diamond in the rough for us. The home is lovely, completely set-up for a family gathering, and Mr. and Mrs. NeSmith could not have been better hosts. We had everything we needed, and all went precisely to plan. Three beautifully decorated bedrooms, two full bathrooms, wi-fi throughout, and a well-appointed kitchen allowed us to fully relax and live in the moment. Just what every parent wants to do with their child and family on such a special, milestone day. If you need a lovely home in Athens, GA for a short or long-term stay, we highly recommend HomeAway, the NeSmith's, and their beautiful Athens home. – Michael T., St. Louis

Perfect for our family Christmas stay.
Beautiful home. Comfortable and conveniently located. The well equipped kitchen was the best as we made Christmas cookies and a complete holiday feast. The separate dining table was room enough for our formal dinner and our late night card games. It was the perfect place for our family to gather
Thank you to Jerry and Farol for being so accommodating. We hope we have the opportunity to return again.

Clean and decorated for Christmas!
This place was a newer home with all the amenities! We were planning a larger crowd but due to illness had to size down at the last minute. The owners were extremely helpful. Our overall all experience was 5 stars! We were extremely impressed with the accommodations, fluffy towels, fully equipped kitchen! They even had coffee beans to grind! Anyone giving this place a consideration, you’ll be very happy you chose this one. Everything is very close, shops, restaurants and the university.

Great location
Comfortable beds, plenty of towels that were soft. Only complaint was the guest bedrooms got a little warm.
