This new build features an open floor plan, private parking, custom art, and an outdoor space with a fire pit, cornhole boards, and outdoor dining. Meredith and I hope you enjoy our high-quality linens, modern amenities, and thoughtfully outfitted kitchen during your stay.

We aim to provide a fully self-check-in experience, but Meredith and I live in Athens and are happy to come by in person if needed.


This bright new build (2022) is located right off MLK inside the loop. It is 1/4 mile from an entrance to the Firefly Greenway Trail along the river. "The Plantation" restaurant is across the street for southern cuisine. This location is convenient while offering a quiet neighborhood feel, with most destinations in Athens under 15 minutes away.

Free parking is available for up to 4 vehicles. The parking lot can be difficult when backing out. If needed, you can also park in the pine straw area to the left of the driveway, in front of the main entrance.

Artist's Cottage

I had an issue with Wells Fargo thinking my rental was fraud; they accepted the Vrbo charge, but not the house rental. We couldn't repay via Vrbo, but Alex, the owner, was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. We referred the home to others in town for a big swim meet at UGA. Great Stay!!
