About this property

The Kickback Retreat - Where homespun charm meets city convenience!

After a long break from renting, this quiet and wooded NW Georgia home in Cobb County is back on the STR market.

Surrounded by Kennesaw Mountain National Park's hiking trails, 2 miles to the historic Marietta Square (with the best dining in Cobb County), Target, Publix, and only 5 miles to Whole Foods, Kennesaw State University and I-75. 12 miles to Lake Allatoona & Holiday Marina. Everything is so convenient!

That being said, our relaxed retreat offers a peaceful respite from your busy days! With comfy bedrooms, wooded views, natural light from many windows, if you like birdsong and distant train whistles this place is for you.

A tin-roofed screened porch provides space for everyone to be out - even in gloomy weather.

The stocked kitchen provides you with more than the basics!

Four streaming TVs (porch, den, queen, and primary) offer fast wifi speeds for your favorite networks.

A couple of important things to know:

Your infant or toddler is more than welcome, however, we do not have any safety mechanisms, and there are stairs, so please take that under advisement.

We will allow small events with restrictions and for an additional fee! Please reach out for more info.

Customization and concierge services are available. Copy and paste this Google Form link into your browser to provide us with your preferences or to request additional services: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdkIF8maKGHUEwV8jC0mUq4svIaojTn7sWhS9USnfP46d-9OQ/viewform?usp=sharing

The attached garage is locked for owner's storage but there is plenty of parking available for up to 4 vehicles.

Marietta/West Cobb is a small-town family friendly environment with lots of culture and entertainment (though you'll want to head toward ATL for nightlife)!

Weekend in Marietta

I’ve stayed at numerous vacation rentals and this house is one of the best! The owners live in the house part time so there are homey touches you don’t get in other places. Communication was fantastic. Check in was literally zero effort. The pictures are exactly what you get. We enjoyed hanging out on the back porch watching TV. The oversized couch was great too. And the beds were very comfortable. The neighborhood is extremely quiet. Owners were just a text away and extremely responsive. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and this property did not disappoint.

This property is truly a country cottage. Its clean, uncluttered, comfortable, and has subtle touches here and there that let you know that the home owner truly loves this home. My wife said to me more than once, " I wish I could take this house back to Canton with me". Thanks again Rebecca and family for your hospitality!

Cute place!

This house was a great location for our baseball tournament. It was centrally located so we didn't have to travel far to get to the different baseball fields all around the area. Very cozy little house. We enjoyed it!

Will be back!

We always stay in a house in Atlanta and tend to rent from the same family. Well I think we found our new favorite... excellent experience! Everything we needed was supplied such as utensils, pots & pans, extra towels and linens. I even made a home cooked meal... great house, great hosts and great stay!!!

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca D Avery

Host profile image
We split our time between our home in the smoky mountains and this home "in the city." We are able to share our Marietta property when we are not in residence there.

Why they chose this property

Set apart from the others by a small forest of trees, the Cozy Nest Retreat is a respite for the family, your leadership team, bridesmaids or other small group!

Enjoy our outdoor space for morning coffee, lunch or watching a Braves game! Listen to the birds and the distant whistle of our town train while you swing in the hammock (available depending on weather).

What makes this property unique

At the base of Kennesaw Mountain, you'll be within just a few miles of local breweries, hiking trails, delicious restaurants, antique shops and big retail. Truist Park is just 8 miles south or travel just 12 miles north to Lake Allatoona. So much to do and see in the metro Atlanta area.
