Quiet Athens Alternative
Great house just outside Athens. Quiet beautiful property that is an easy drive or inexpensive Uber ride into town. You may find it hard to leave with all there is to do at the house. We cant wait to stay there again.

Extremely Satisfied
We scheduled this stay to correspond to UGA's graduation. It worked out perfectly. The host was easy to work with. We grilled out, played pool and enjoyed sitting by the pond. Though 6 miles out of town we were able to Uber to and from with no issues.

About the host

Hosted by Jeanine & Charles Russell

Host profile image
We moved back to Athens 20 years ago to get away from the traffic. Pond Creek was the perfect getaway, yet still close to Athens and all it has to offer. We decided to become hosts after all our friends visited and fell in love with our space and property. We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting new people and sharing our peaceful escape for the last 5 years.

Why they chose this property

Coming from the city, we decided we needed to live at Pond Creek after going to the back by the pond and creek. The peacefulness of living on 7 acres with water flowing is wonderful!
