This property is in a word amazing. The location is wonderful. Easy access to all things UGA and Athens. The space is far greater than the pictures represent. Plenty of places to sleep, lounge, relax, and enjoy. The owners are very accessible and the property is well maintained. Honestly, i would go as far to say the property is under priced. We will always try and stay here when visiting Athens.

A group of us stayed here because we needed some extra. room to celebrate Christmas with our family and it was PERFECT. We had 4 young kids & the game room, bunk room, & theater provided all the entertainment they could need. It was extremely spacious so we were very comfortable. Check in/out was also very easy... Would definitely stay here again!
